2014+ owners having issues with their truck?

[Joe_K]

Just took my truck in yesterday for my first oil change and tire rotation and found out one of the lug nuts wouldn't come off, also took it in because of the rear power sliding window regulator broke like i see so many in this post, have to wait for parts for window.

Has any one notice when your 5.3 motor goes from V4 to V8 you can hear a very faint squeak noise? When I first heard the noise I thought it might be an exhaust hanger but as I heard it several more times while starting to accelerate I noticed it was the changing from V4 to V8 mode.

 

I noticed that when I put it in 4wd Auto one time. Putting it back to 2wd shut it up. I'm gonna stop by the dealer some time and point it out.

I'm going to wait about 6 months before I use my rear power window. That way when it breaks they will have parts.

Good plan!

I am really close to buying a new one, because of both need and want. Having a hard time wanting to buy one of these though with the issues stated.

 

I went through a nasty battle with GM back in April over a 1 year old Tahoe that was in the shop 8 times in 4 months for the same problem, and was told it was normal....BS. Left the wife stranded 3 times.

 

Long time GM fan so I chalked it up to a lemon and traded after the last repair for one identical to the other. I know smart right.

 

No probs with it but I took a beating on the trade even though the dealer was very helpful.

 

When you have to deal with the jackasses GM refers to as field represenatives it will be a fight that's not in the customers favor to win, in my experience.

 

Leaning hard towards a Ford Raptor, just hate to forgo a purchase with all the GM card points I have earned.

I also was leaning towards buying a ford raptor! One problem for me was that it would take 10 weeks to get because they can only be made to order. I'm having a lot of problems with my truck. Every time I take it tho, they tell me nothing is wrong with it it's just me. They look at the computer and find no error codes, as far as i know, the computer can't always tell u what you can hear or or predict what's gonna happen. Honestly I'm tired of driving to the dealership and leaving my truck there cause all I hear at the end is, nothing is wrong with your truck or we can't fix it yet!

[AgDoctor]

Same problem here. I took it in once no dash light but truck kept sputtering. They said may be bad gas. Drained the tank and filled up at dealer. They said it was fixed. Before I made it home from the dealer, 35 miles away, doing same thing again. Replaced both catylitic converters twice. Entire wiring harness to fuel pump 2 fuel pumps, and several different sensors. This and still no admittance of a lemon. Dealer did try and obviously changed every part of the system that the so called trouble codes pointed to.

Just got a 2014 LTZ 2 days ago...when I drift with foot off the accelerator, at any speed going straight on smooth pavement, I'm getting an inconsistent knocking, clunking noise from the rear, probably the differential. It doesn't occur from downshifting of the tranny...I'm talking a consistent speed while drifiting, and then all of the sudden some knocks and clunking. I have no issues or noises while accelerating, just upon deceleration, at all speeds. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't. I don't really feel anything in the seat...just the noise. I am pissed! I've captured the noise on my cell phone, just in case I get the "We don't hear anything" excuse from the dealership. The one noise lasted for 8 full seconds. It's going back soon for examination.

 

Think it could just be something simple rattling underneath? I'm not that lucky.

To update my post above from 2 days ago...the master transmission tech (seasoned mechanic) took a ride with me to hear the above noise. Luckily, he heard it...many times. Because it had only been 2 days since purchasing this vehicle, the dealership decided to void the original contract and gave me all money back. I don't think the truck had actually been titled yet, so they get to still set it as new to someone else. The tech thought it was an exhaust issue as his first guess. He wanted to "rip out the entire back end of the exhaust" for starters. Screw that.

 

So, in the end, I got this today instead. 2014 Sierra, All-Terrain package. Love the wheels! Gun metal, painted gray 20's...and the painted front and rear bumpers, and grill. I just gotta add running boards, spray the bed, throw on my Extang tonneau.

Love your truck! I was a little too impatient to wait for the all terrain to come out. Maybe next time!

Thanks! When I saw it I knew it was the one. I was actually there to pick up a loaded black SLT, but then I saw this lovely beast and plans changed!

 

Now, do I go with black running boards or chrome? I'm thinking black, since I may replace the trim on doors with body matching paint, black window trim.

Black that's my opinion

I would go with the automatic runningboards. The ones that drop when you open the door and tuck away when you close it. It's only a few hundred more, but well worth it.

You did it now. Better put your flame proof coat on as this thread is not popular with the Kool-Aid drinkers.

 

 

 

Not true. We just don't like you're pathetic attempt to make a mountain of a mole hill.

[MikeNH]

I did read a majority of the thread and unless the calendar works differently where you live by my count he had the defective truck for under a month before GM took it back. That would barely be enough time for the lemon law to take effect. I actually worked in a dealer service department and was involved in a couple buy backs that I can remember and there is a set process for it. Having a brand new vehicle be like that would be very upsetting but GM did right by him to me and considering every new vehicle I purchased had a slip of paper I had to sign stating I understood the lemon law process the fact anyone is surprised by how it works is silly.
