2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Exterior Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the headlights were dim, reducing the contact's ability to see the roadway while driving. The dealer was notified of the failure and provided an estimate for the headlights' replacement. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption, and there was smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 370,000.

Mileage: 370,000

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at various speeds, the front headlights failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the headlights were dim and foggy. The failure limited the driver's visibility, preventing the driver from safely operating the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure recurred, and the contact was no longer driving the vehicle at night due to the safety concern. The failure mileage was unknown.

The high and low beams quit working while driving at night. This caused safety issue for myself and other drivers. Fuses good and bulbs good. Have seen multiple listings online about the same thing happening to other owners.

The headlights are dangerously dim, can't drive the vehicle comfortably at night. There seems to be no solution for fixing them. A TSB has been issued concerning this, but does little to address fixing the problem.

Back up lights and Tail light problems My Back up lights turn on when the headlights are turned on and do not shut off unless the headlights are off. Also, recently, the rear tail lights were burning out early and would last only two weeks. The source of the problem seems to be in the fuse box. There is no short in the system. It appears to be in the fuse box of the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. Bulbs were replaced and burned out quickly. Replacement parts are expensive and this problem exists on other Chevrolet and GMC trucks.

Both headlamps stopped working when driving at night. Neither the low or high beams will work

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the passenger’s side headlight became inoperable. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights flashed on the instrument panel. The contact pulled over to inspect the vehicle and discovered that the water pump had failed. Despite the failure, the contact managed to drive the vehicle home. The next day upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated and both engine fans began to run at full capacity. The contact called the dealer and made an appointment for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Mileage: 160,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY PICK-UP ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH. I HAVE EVEN GONE TO THE EXPENSE OF HAVING BRAND NEW ONES INTALLED AND THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT IN THE LIGHTING. I CAN BARELY SEE ONE CAR LENGTH AHEAD OF ME WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH IS PROHIBITING ME FROM USING MY PICK-UP FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE SPENT SUCH A LARGE SUM OF MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND NOT BE ABLE TO SEE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM.

2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 4WD ~75K MILES. SOMETIMES WHEN I ROLL UP MY WINDOWS OR USE MY BLINKER AND IT SHUTS OFF CRUISE CONTROL (HWY). AND SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM (HWY, CITY STREETS, PARKING LOTS). WHEN I'M TURNING SLOWLY (IN PARKING LOTS) THE STEELING WILL OCCASIONALLY LOCK UP AND ONCE IT LOST POWER ENTIRELY. MY BATTERY WAS TESTED AT BIGO AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I'VE SEEN THIS ONLINE A LOT FOR THIS TRUCK AND SIMILAR YEARS, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A RESOLUTION. WITH SO MANY INCIDENTS I'M SHOCKED THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX OR ANY IDEA WHAT IS WRONG.

THE FACTORY INSTALLED HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO BAD THAT YOU CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT ONE OF THE WORST MOST DANGEROUS ISSUES I'VE EVER SEEN ON A VEHICLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW WE CAN REMEDY THE SITUATION

Mileage: 40,000

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS AT NIGHTTIME TO THE POINT IT'S NOT EVEN SAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SEE WHERE YOUR GOING,ESPECIALLY ON HILLY TERRAIN AND CURVY WINDING ROADS. THE TIME YOU REACT YOU WILL BE OFF THE ROAD RESULTING IN A CRASH, BRINGING INJURY OR DEATH TO ONESELF OR ANOTHER OCCUPANT ON THE ROADWAY. LIGHTS OR WAY TO WEAK AND NOT LOCATED IN THE RIGHT SPOT ON TRUCK MAKING HALF YOUR VIEW IN COMPLETE DARKNESS WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN ON HILLY TERRAIN. FOR THE LIFE OF ME CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN THE DAY AND AGE WE LIFE IN. PLEASE GET THIS RECALLED AND SAFE PEOPLE'S LIFE. ACCIDENTS MAY HAPPEN AND SOMEONE MIGHT GO OFF THE ROAD AND GET KILLED AND NO ONE WILL KNOW WHY THEY WENT OFF THE ROADWAY JUST THINKING MAYBE THEY FEEL ASLEEP AND THE REAL RESULT WAS IMPROPER HEAD LIGHTING AND LACK OF VISION TO STAY ON THE ROADWAY. PLEASE HELP GET THIS ON THE RECALL LIST AND IT'S NOT EVEN A EXPENSIVE FIX. HELP SAFE LIFES! THANK YOU

THE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION IS INADEQUATE BOTH ON LOW AND HIGH BEAMS. JUST UPGRADED FOR THE 2ND TIME THE BULBS FOR WHICH I HAVE ASCERTAINED THAT THE ILLUMINATION DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AS WELL AS FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. THIS IS NOT MERELY MY OWN OBSERVATION BUT FOR ALL THOSE WHO EITHER DRIVE OR ARE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE PUBLIC FORUMS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM...THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANY CORRECTIVE SOLUTION. PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU TO REVIEW AND FIND SOME SOLUTION TO GM'S INHERENT PROBLEM. IF PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN INJURED AND OR MORE SERIOUSLY (KILLED), IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I CURRENTLY HAVE 60 K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED USED FROM A DEALER WITH 20K MILES. I HAVE HAD 2 INDEPENDENT GM DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WELL AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH HALOGEN BULBS. THE CONTACT UPGRADED TO LED BULBS, BUT THE ILLUMINATION DID NOT GET BRIGHTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHARLIE'S CHEVROLET (877-688-4621, LOCATED AT 1412 U S 202, WINTHROP, ME 04364) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT UPGRADED TO HID BULBS ON HIS OWN, WHICH OFFERED BETTER LIGHTING THAN THE ORIGINAL BULBS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

HAVE A BAD TAIL LIGHT ON MY RIGHT SIDE AND TOOK IT TO ELHARTS TO SEE WHY IT WON'T LIGHT UP WITH NEW BULBS AND THEY SAID THAT THE WHOLE TAIL LIGHT HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAS BAD WIRING I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE DONE WHEN IT'S A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM THAT IT WAS BAD WHEN IT WAS PUT INTO MY TRUCK THE PART ALONE WILL COST 215 .00 PLUS I HAVE TO PAY TAXES PLUS LABOR COULD BE TOTALLY NOT HAPPY WOULD LIKE NOT TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE VERY BAD

Mileage: 120,000

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 SLT ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE ON HIGH OR LOW BEAM. THE LIGHTING DISTANCE IS INADEQUATE AND IS SO DIRECTIONAL THAT THERE IS NO SIDE FLAIR LIGHTING FOR TURNING LIKE YOU HAVE WITH CONVENTIONAL HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY THE NHTSA. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 41/2 YEARS AND THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION. NEW HI/LOW BULBS, DEALER INSTALLED AND STILL VERY DIM AND UNSAFE.

THE VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHT HAVE SUCH POOR ILLUMINATION IT RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE AT NIGHT. GM SAYS NOTHING WRONG, I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WITH 3 DIFFERENT BULBS BOTH OEM AND AFTERMARKET NOTHING IMPROVES THE ILLUMINATION WITH THE STOCK LIGHT HOUSINGS.

Mileage: 2,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO POOR THAT IT FEELS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. ON TOP OF THAT, WHEN IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT, I TRY TO AVOID THE ROADS.

I TEMPORARILY HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROACHING A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION I MERGED INTO THE CENTER OF ST TO PASS A TRASHCAN AND IN THE PROCESS OF RETURNING TO MY CORRECT POSITION ON THE ROAD I SUDDENLY HAD NO STEERING. PANICKING FROM THE LOSS I PRESSED MY BRAKES AN ATTEMPT TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE TIRES BEGAN A SLIDE ONCE NOTICING THE TRACTION LOSS I PROCEEDED TO RELEASE BRAKES AND REAPPLY IN HOPES OF GAINING TRACTION THE BRIEF RELIEF FROM BRAKES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN TRACTION AND WHILE I STILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER STEERING, THE VEHICLE JERKS TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES BEING REAPPLIED THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SLIDE OFF PAVEMENT MAKING CONTACT WITH STOP SIGN AND TELEPHONE POLE.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 1 JUST PAST MONTARA BEACH. IT WAS AROUND 7:30 PM AND ALREADY DARK. WE WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, BOTH HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. WE WERE APPROACHING AN EXTREMELY CURVY STRETCH OF ROAD ALONG OCEAN CLIFFS AND THERE WAS NOWHERE TO PULL OVER. THE SYMBOL ON THE DASH WAS LIT UP SAYING THAT OUR LIGHTS WERE ON (EVEN THOUGH THEY WEREN'T). THANKFULLY THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF US AND ONE BEHIND US THAT GAVE US ENOUGH LIGHT AND TIME TO REACT WHICH MEANT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO JAM ON OUR BRAKES AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. WE TRIED THE HIGH BEAMS WHICH ALSO DID NOT WORK. AFTER TURNING KNOBS AND PRESSING BUTTONS (WHILE DRIVING) TO GET SOME ILLUMINATION, WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS WHICH WAS ENOUGH TO GET US SOMEWHERE SAFE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE. WITHOUT THE HEADLIGHTS FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AND BEHIND US, THIS COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY, POSSIBLY EVEN FATAL. WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS BACK ON AND PLAN ON BRINGING THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL GMC DEALER TOMORROW. UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN IF WE GET IT FIXED, WE WILL BE WORRIED EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT THIS COULD HAVE ENDED SO MUCH WORSE. WE HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 1000 MILES ON IT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT.

Mileage: 38,000

DURING DRIVING, THE STABILITY SENSORS WOULD GO OFF AND SHOW UP STATING STABILITY TURNED OFF, OR POWER STEERING TURNED OFF. THE VOLTAGE ON VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY DROP FROM 15 TO 9 AND THEN BACK UP. THIS WILL USUALLY TURN OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER 2014 SIERRA AND SILVERADO OWNERS AND THEY ALL ADVISED THIS WAS OCCURING ON THEIR VEHICLES. THERE IS A GROUND WIRE THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED UNDER THE DASH WHICH CAUSES HIGH RESISTANCE MATERIAL TO CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DURING ONE OF MY DRIVES TO WORK GOING 60 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT OFF AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHILE COASTING ON NO POWER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD CONTINUE TO GO. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK WHILE STATIONARY AS WELL. AFTER MANY FORUM DISCUSSION THIS ALL RELATED BACK TO THE GROUND WIRE NOT BEING PROPERLY INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

Mileage: 62,000

HEADLIGHTS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. ADDED AUXILIARY DRIVING LIGHTS FOR SAFETY AT NIGHT.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS PICKUP MAKE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN RURAL SOUTH DAKOTA ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND EVEN DANGEROUS. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR ONLY 2 WEEKS AND FOUND IN ORDER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT I HAVE TO HAVE THE FOG LIGHTS ON TO SEE, AND EVEN THAN IT IS NOT MUCH BETTER. THE BRIGHTS HELP NONE. CAN'T EVEN TELL WHEN THEY ARE ON VRS NOT. THERE HAS TO BE A FIX OR SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 10

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS AT NIGHT. DEALERSHIP CHANGED BULBS AND REPROGRAMMED. VEHICLE IS STILL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE NEW.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THESE TRUCKS ARE HORRIBLE. VERY UNSAFE TO USE.

POOR ILLUMINATION, AFTER A FEW DAYS THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED THE LIGHT POINTS VERY LOW THAT ITS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS AND WITH A GOOD WEATHER.

PROBLEM WAS PRESENT FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT TRUCK NEW. I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE, ONCE TO REPLACE BULBS AND REPROGRAM THE BCM. STILL NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALER THEY ADJUSTED HEADLIGHT UP TO HIGH END OF SPEC. STILL NOT BRIGHT. I'M TO THE POINT OF INSTALLING AN AFTER MARKET HID KIT.

Mileage: 80

IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, BEGINNING AT ABOUT 52K MILES, I STARTED RECEIVING MESSAGES ON MY TRUCK THAT SAID "STABILITY CONTROL" WAS OUT AND IT LOCKS THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL, LOSING ALL STEERING, THE RADIO AND THEN THE TRUCK GOES COMPLETELY DEAD. THE AC GOES ON/OFF AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. THIS IS ALWAYS AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 5-10 MPH AND MOST COMMONLY WHEN MAKING A TURN. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME I NEED A NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE REPLACEMENT?

Mileage: 59,000

WHILE DRIVING LOST ALL DASH LIGHTS,, HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD SHUT OFF ENGINE THEN RESTART. CAME BACK ON.

Mileage: 22,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE IN THIS TRUCK. WHEN WE DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS TRUCK IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE BUT WE THOUGHT WE WERE MAKING A GOOD INVESTMENT-WRONG!!! WHAT GOOD IS THE TRUCK IF WE GET IN ACCIDENT BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. GMC JUST TRIED TO SAVE MONEY WHEREVER THEY COULD-ONLY THE BARE MINIMAL-ITS ALL ONLY ABOUT LINING THEIR POCKETS WITH THE MOST CASH THAT THEY CAN. WE HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THEY IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. GMC REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT STARTING IN THE 2016 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 2014 & 2015 OUR LIFE'S DON'T MATTER?

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY AT NIGHT. CHECK WITH 2 DIFFERENT GMC DEALERS THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT NO RESOLUTION IS COMING. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT NIGHT ON DARK ROADS.

Mileage: 10

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK ARE THE WORST PERFORMING LIGHTS I HAVE EVER USED. THEY EMIT A VERY POOR AMOUNT OF LIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND BARELY ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT IF IT IS RAINING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE POOR LIGHTING. I HAVE HAD THE UPGRADE DONE BY GM AND THAT DID NOT MAKE THESE LIGHTS MUCH BETTER AND DEFINITELY DID NOT MAKE IT SAFER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS WITH THE UPDATED VERSION THEY HAVE INSTALLED IN THE 2016 MODELS.

Mileage: 51,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS PROVIDED MINIMUM VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE A DEFECT WAS NOT DETERMINED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000. UPDATED 05/17/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM. UPDATED 10/11/2017*JS

THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. WHEN DRIVING IN A AREA WITH STREET LIGHTING THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE AFFECT .MY 20 YEAR OLD MAZDA MPV HAS BETTER LIGHTS

NO ACCIDENT... YET! BUT HAVE HAD MULTIPLE NEAR MISSES, AND FEEL IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY INADEQUATE EVEN AFTER HAVING THE RECOMMENDED HEADLIGHT UPGRADE SERVICE BULLITEN COMPLETED BY MY LOCAL DEALER.

Mileage: 40,000

EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITY WITH PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS, VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HI & LOW BEAMS. DEALER STATES THEY MEET REQUIREMENTS.

VERY POOR PERFORMANCE FROM THE HEADLIGHTS.

GMC SIERRA MY2014 HEADLIGHT DON'T ILLUMINATE PROPERLY DOWN THE ROAD, THE HEADLIGHT DON'T GIVE GOOD ADVISABLY DURING DRY,FOG, OR WET CONDITIONS. IT IS KIND OF SAD SPENDING OVER 45K ON A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. I HAVE OWN OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE BETTER ILLUMINATION. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO GET A FIX FOR THIS TRUCKS

Mileage: 5,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. YOU CAN NOT SEE SIDES OR IN FRONT OF YOU . I HIT A DEER STANDING N THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DID NOT SEE IT TILL IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE HAS A 2006 TAHOE AND HER HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE IN A 2014. GMC NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING

Mileage: 40,000

MY 2014 GMC SIERRA HAS VERY DIM HEAD LIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE YOUR OWN LANE AT TIMES IN THE DARK. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT. MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BECAUSE THERE SO DIM IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE ON AT ALL. IT MAKES FOR VERY NERVE RACKING DRIVING AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR GMC DRIVERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.. TEST DRIVE ONE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT OUT IN THE COUNTRY.. NOT IN TOWN , WITH STREET LIGHTS!!! *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH AT NIGHTTIME TO SEE . LIMITED SITE DISTANCE AND BRIGHTNESS. I DONT LIKE DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THIS CREATING A SAFETY PROBLEM. LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLING LED LIGHTS BUT DONT THINK I SHOULD BARE THE COST SINCE GMC HAS A PROBLEM THEY NEED TO CORRECT BEFORE I AM HURT DRIVING WITH THESE UNSUITABLE LIGHTS THEY HAVE INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLES.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE AT NIGHT ON DIM OR HIGH BEAM. CANNOT SEE CLOSE TO THE SIDES OR DISTANCE. WOULD BE EASY TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN. ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE BEFORE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED OR INJURED..

Mileage: 30,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AT NIGHT TO SEE PAST 20 FEET. THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

Mileage: 26,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I DOUBT IT WOULD BE ANY LESS SAFE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THEM OFF. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND MY FIRST TIME DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAD TO PARK, GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECK TO SEE IF THE LIGHT BULBS WERE BURNED OUT. THE BULBS WERE NOT BURNED OUT, BUT THEY ALSO DO NOT FUNCTION AS HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY LITERALLY ILLUMINATE NOTHING. I CAN SEE THE SHADOW OF MY TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME IN OTHER VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS AS THEY PASS ME. IF AN OBJECT, AN ANIMAL, OR A PERSON WERE IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME I DOUBT I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THEM BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. I BELIEVE A SIERRA EQUIPPED WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS WILL LIKELY BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN ONLY PRAY AND HOPE THAT I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. GM HAS RELEASED A TSB WITH AN EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SIGNALING TO ME THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A PROBLEM EXIST. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I CAN NOT SEE VERY FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND I CAN NOT SEE THE SHOULDERS OF THE ROADWAY. IT IS NOT VERY SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED HEADLIGHTS.

Mileage: 36,250

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING ESPECIALLY IN DARKER RURAL AREAS AND IN BAD WEATHER. THE SIDE LIGHTING FROM THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NEARLY NONEXISTENT ESPECIALLY AROUND SHARP CURVES. IN ORDER TO READ SIGNS AT NIGHT I OFTEN HAVE TO USE MY HIGHBEAMS IN ORDER TO READ THEM REGARDLESS IF THERE IS TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME OR ONCOMING. I DRIVE HOME FROM WORK NIGHTLY WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON THE ENTIRE WAS UNLESS THERE IS A CAR CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE YET TO HAVE ONCOMING TRAFFIC FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME DO TO HAVING MY HIGHBEAMS ON. I HAVE MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE AS WELL AS CORPORATE GM . AS OF NOW THE ONLY ACTION THEY WILL TAKE IS TO REPLACE MY OLD BULBS WITH THE SAME BULBS THEY TOOK OUT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. ONLY A TSB WHICH I CAN'T EVEN GET MY DEALERSHIP TO FOLLOW. *TR

POOR LIGHTING (HEADLIGHTS), TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS UNSAFE. WORSE YET, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE TSB WHICH GIVES A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT, AND CANNOT GET IT DONE AT NO COST TO ME DUE TO MY WARRANTY BEING OVER BY 4,000 MILES.

Mileage: 1

HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. HIGH BEAM ALSO DOES NOT HELP THE ILLUMINATION ISSUES. DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT IS SCARY THE LIGHTS ARE DIM, AND DO NOT LIGHT UP SURROUNDING AREAS. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 MONTHS PUT NEW BULBS IN, AND I STILL WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY WITH ME. SPENT 45K ON TRUCK AND CANT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BULBS, BRANDS, LOOKED FOR SOLUTIONS, AND STILL HAVE YET TO FIND ANY HELP. *TR

Mileage: 45

THESE TRUCKS HAVE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED.

HEADS LIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CANT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT ALSO THE IS A BAD VIBRATIONS COMING FROM THE REAR END.

POOR HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA ARE TERRIBLE AT BEST. UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT

Mileage: 700

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW IN OCTOBER, 2014. MY RESEARCH PRIOR TO PURCHASE SHOWED A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT I DID NOT THINK THERE WERE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR ME TO BE CONCERNED. I WAS WRONG. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DEFINITELY INADEQUATE ON THE LOW BEAM SETTING. THE MECHANICAL SHUTTER DESIGN PRODUCES A VERY SHARP BEAM CUTOFF AT ABOUT THE LEVEL OF THE HOOD, MAKING IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE SITTING IN A DARKENED AREA ABOVE A BOWL OF LIGHT. THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE LITTLE, IF ANY, ILLUMINATION OF OBJECTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I USE THE FOG/DRIVING LIGHTS CONTINUALLY ON THE TRUCK OR I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT WITH LOW BEAMS IN UNLIT AREAS. FOR THE SAKE OF COMPARISON, I HAVE ATTACHED TWO IMAGES TAKEN ON TWO CONSECUTIVE MORNINGS AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME LOCATION ON MY DRIVEWAY. THE TRUCK PICTURE WAS TAKEN APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES LATER THAN THE CAR PICTURE (BOTH WERE APPROXIMATELY 6:45 A.M.). NOTE THERE IS A SLIGHT PERSPECTIVE SHIFT DUE TO THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THE VEHICLES AND THE DRIVING/FOG LIGHTS WERE NOT ON ON EITHER VEHICLE WHEN THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN. NOTE THE 25-YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY SEALED BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHOW THE FENCE POSTS AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE GMC'S HEADLIGHTS SHOW A DARK VOID. IT HONESTLY FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING THROUGH A TUNNEL OF LIGHT IN THE TRUCK. YOU HAVE NO HOPE OF SEEING ANY OBJECTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS ISSUE THAT RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE BULBS AND REPROGRAMMING THE BCM. MY TRUCK HAS NOT HAD THIS PERFORMED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE BULBS IN STOCK WHEN I ASKED ABOUT IT. THERE IS SOME DEBATE ON MESSAGE BOARDS REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT THE UPDATE OFFERS ANY BENEFITS. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEW BULBS ALLEGEDLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTENED LIFE OVER THE ORIGINALS AND THEY CAN BE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE WHEN NEEDED.

Mileage: 22,500

HEADLIGHT PERFORMANCE DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING IS POOR AND UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN RURAL AREAS.

Mileage: 200

THE BASIC DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF LIGHTING TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO LATERAL LIGHTING, AND THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE WAY FORWARD, THEY ONLY DROP A SHUTTER IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTS WHEN ONE SWITCHES FROM LOW BEAM TO HIGH. THERE IS NO INCREASE IN LIGHT INTENSITY OR VOLUME WHEN SWITCHING TO BRIGHT LIGHTS. RECALL AND FIX!!!!!!

THERE TRULY IS NO ACCIDENT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER ... IF THIS CONDITION ISN'T CORRECTED, THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS. THESE MAY RESULT IN NOT ONLY LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY, BUT POSSIBLE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. THE ISSUE: THE PROJECTOR HEADLAMP DESIGN OF THE 2014 GMC SIERRA IS EXTREMELY SUBPAR FOR LIGHTING THE ROADWAY AHEAD OF YOU. INDIVIDUALS, IN ORDER TO NOT "OUTDRIVE" THEIR LIGHTS, WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO GO BELOW POSTED MINIMUM SPEED LIMITS ON HIGHWAYS, PRESENTING YET ANOTHER ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THOSE WHO WOULD APPROACH FROM THE REAR IN NIGHTTIME DRIVING CONDITIONS. I CONTACTED GMC ... AWARE OF THE ISSUE. NO HELP AT THIS TIME. I GOT THE IMPRESSION FROM THE OPERATOR THAT "NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS." I'M GUESSING THAT WHEN THE CATASTROPHIC AND TRAGIC HAPPENS, IT WILL NOT MATTER THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE FILED COMPLAINTS ... OFFICIALLY. SLIGHT RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL SHOW MANY INDIVIDUALS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE. BUT GMC'S ADMISSION THAT THEY ARE "AWARE" BUT ARE TAKING NO ACTION AT THIS POINT IS VERY DISTURBING. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT DESIGN ISSUES WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE CLEARED BY AN OVERSIGHT AGENCY OF SOME SORT? I JUST DISCOVERED THE EXTREMELY SCARY FEELING OF "DRIVING IN THE DARK" ... BASICALLY ... AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK SINCE THANKSGIVING. BUT I DRIVE MOSTLY IN THE DAYLIGHT, AND HAVE BEEN ON INTERSTATE 20 IN ONE OF THE BUSIEST SECTIONS WITH TRAFFIC AT NIGHT ... NOT REALIZING HOW MUCH OTHERS' LIGHTS WERE HELPING. WHEN DRIVING ALONE ON A RURAL ROAD, HOWEVER, IT IS TANTAMOUNT TO DRIVING WITH A FLASHLIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY. I AM WANTING TO TRUST THAT THE AGENCY TASKED WITH SAFETY WILL PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE? BEFORE SOMEONE OR MULTIPLES LOSE THEIR LIVES AND LAWSUITS ENSUE?

HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. IN A DARK RURAL AREA, THEY ARE SO DIM THEY ARE DANGEROUS. YOU CAN EASILY OUTDRIVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS. IN THE DARK AND RAIN, YOU SHOULD STAY HOME. IT'S SAD I CAN'T DRIVE MY $50,000 TRUCK AT NIGHT. DEALER'S "FIX" WAS WORTHLESS. SO ANGRY. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER GM VEHICLE!

EXTREMELY POOR/UNSAFE HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASED NEW. "LURKING" IN FORUMS AND COMPLAINT WEB SITES ASSUMING A FIX WOULD BE FORTHCOMING. I GUESS NOT. INSUFFICIENT LIGHTING AT NIGHT IN RURAL SETTINGS WITH NO AMBIENT LIGHT. CANNOT SEE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DISTANCE REQUIRED TO DRIVE SAFELY AT POSTED LIMITS AND NON-EXISTENT SIDE LIGHTING. 2 NEAR MISSES WITH DEER GRAZING ON SIDE OF ROAD AS PROOF. I SPENT THE MONEY FOR GOOD AUXILIARY DRIVING LIGHTS AND A LIGHT BAR TO PUT THEM ON BUT ARE ONLY USEFUL WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CURRENT REPLACEMENT BULBS/BCM REPROGRAM CAUSE LIMITED IMPROVEMENT WITH SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN BULB FAILURE FREQUENCY. 2016 REDESIGN ELIMINATED THESE LIGHTS AND RETROFIT TO 2014/15 HARDWARE IS AVAILABLE. GM SHOULD STEP UP!

I HAVE RETURNED MY GMC CREW CAB SIERRA 2014 TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS. THE FIRST TIME THEY SERVICE DEPT. READJUSTED THEM WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. THE THIRD TIME BACK THE BULBS WERE REPLACED PER A BULLETIN AND BCM REPROGRAMMED. STILL NO IMPROVEMENT ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE FOURTH TIME I HAD MY INTELLIGENCE INSULTED WHEN THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE GARAGE DOOR HE SHONE THEM ON WAS DIRTIER ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WHAT AN EXCUSE AND ONLY A FOOL WOULD INSULT HIS OWN INTELLIGENCE WITH THAT REMARK. THE FIFTH TIME BACK THE PARTS MANAGER HAD ORDERED A NEW BULB FOR THE RIGHT SIDE AND WAS CONSEQUENTLY REPLACED A SECOND TIME. I WROTE A CERTIFIED LETTER THEN TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS CONTACTED BY MARK 1-866-522-0300 EXT.#5921569. HE SAID I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEAVE IT SO THEY COULD DRIVE IT AT NITE. I DID THAT AND IT WAS DRIVEN BY PAUL AND UPON CONTACTING HIM THIS AM HE TOLD ME THE LOW BEAMS WERE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AND OVERALL THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE TRUCK WERE AS LOUSY AS ALL THE 2014 AND 15 TRUCKS ARE. UPON PICKING THE TRUCK UP THIS AFTERNOON THE SAME REDICULIS SERVICE ADVISOR (WALLY) TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T DRIVE IT AND PAUL DID AND TOLD HIM THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS. WHO IS THE LIAR? ISINCERELY BELIEVE IT IS WALLY BECAUSE HE IS BOUND AND DETERMINED NOT TO FIX IT. THE HIGH BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE WHAT THE LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A $53000 TRUCK SHOULD HAVE SAFE HEADLIGHTS. ON LOW BEAM THERE IS A BLACK CURTAIN ONLY A FEW FEET FROM THE HOOD AND GOING DOWNHILL THAT BLACK IS ALMOST AT THE END OF THE HOOD. I HAVE OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS TALKED TO FOUR GM REPS AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER, WITH THE THIRD ONE TELLING SHE WOULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO REPLACE THE LIGHT SYSTEM WITH THE 2016 SYSTEM. SHE CALLED THE DEALER SETTING IT UP AND THEN NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH.

Mileage: 15,000

THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS, AS INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY AND PROPERLY ADJUSTED, ARE INADEQUATE FOR DRIVING ON DARK COUNTRY ROADS AT NIGHT, IN THE ABSENCE OF AMBIENT LIGHTING FROM STREET AND YARD LIGHTS. THE LIGHT IS CAST WELL DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THERE IS TOO LITTLE LIGHT SPREAD TO THE SHOULDERS OF THE ROAD, MAKING PEDESTRIANS AND ANIMALS DIFFICULT TO SEE IF THEY ARE NOT DIRECTLY IN THE ROADWAY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH MANY PEACH ORCHARDS AND PASTURES, THEREFORE THERE ARE OFTEN FEW, IF ANY, STREET OR YARD LIGHTS TO PROVIDE ANY AMBIENT LIGHTING. ALSO, MANY OF THE ROADS IN THE AREA HAVE NEITHER PAINTED LINES NOR REFLECTORS TO HELP MARK THE PATH OF TRAVEL AT NIGHT. IF THERE ARE HILLS AND CURVES, THE LIGHT PATTERN AND OUTPUT OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED LIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH UNMARKED PAVEMENT FROM THE GRASS ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE ROAD. ALL OF THESE SHORTCOMINGS ARE MAGNIFIED WHEN ROADS ARE WET AND/OR IT IS RAINING OR OTHERWISE INCLEMENT WEATHER. I APPROACHED MY DEALER HERE IN SPARTANBURG, SC, ABOUT A REMEDY FOR THE INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS DISMISSIVE AND DID NOT FOLLOW-UP.

TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME I DROVE MY 2014 SIERRA TEXAS EDITION IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT.... WOW>>>>> I HAD TO STOP AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN DOWNPOUR TO LET OUT SO I COULD SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. NOT GOOD. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS VERY STRESSFUL AND EYE STRAINING TO THE POINT OF TAKING HEADACHE MEDICATIONS ONCE YOU ARE DONE DRIVING. ANY WAY TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM? THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVERS AND ANY OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED ASAP. AND GM STILL SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THE DESIGN ON THE 2016'S TRUCKS AFTER CONTACTING [XXX] TO SEE IF HE COULD PROVIDE SOME HELP THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY HI [XXX]: THANKS FOR WATCHING! THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL A SET OF LED AUXILIARY DRIVING LIGHTS. THEY CAN BE PURCHASED FOR ABOUT $300.00 PLUS LABOR AND MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.

Mileage: 28,500

THE PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2 YEAR OLD GMC SIERRA ARE, AND HAVE BEEN, NOTICEABLY DIM TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. IT'S AS IF TRYING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHILE WEARING DARK SUNGLASSES. IN ADDITION TO BEING DIM, THERE'S ALSO THE PROBLEM OF SIDE ILLUMINATION. I CAN SEE SOME OF THE ROAD AHEAD, BUT CAN'T SEE THE DITCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CONSIDER THIS LACK OF SIDE ILLUMINATION TO ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN NEGOTIATING TURNS OR CURVES. USING HIGH BEAMS OFFERS LITTLE, IF ANY IMPROVEMENT. THE HIGH BEAMS ONLY SEEM TO SHINE HIGHER (TREE TOP HEIGHT), BUT OFFER NO REAL INCREASE IN EITHER SIDE ILLUMINATION OR ACTUAL BRIGHTNESS. THE "EYE LIDS" LIFT, BUT POOR ILLUMINATION REMAINS UNCHANGED. ABOUT THE ONLY OPTION IS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH THE FOG LIGHTS ON. USING FOG LIGHTS AT LEAST GIVES A BIT MORE SIDE ILLUMINATION, BUT STILL DOES NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH "DOWN THE ROAD" ILLUMINATION. I'VE BEEN SURPRISED AT SUCH POOR LIGHTING BEING INSTALLED ON AN OTHERWISE GREAT TRUCK. THESE PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY OFFERED AS PART OF PREMIUM PACKAGES. IF THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE GMC'S BEST, I'M SURE GLAD I DIDN'T GET THE CHEAPER LIGHTS! MY ONLY HOPE IS THAT GMC WILL OFFER SOME TYPE OF HEADLIGHT UPGRADE, POSSIBLY LED LIGHTS.

TOOK COPY OF "CARCOMPLAINT.COM" REPORT ON HEADLIGHT PROBLEM TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID GM HAS NOT PROVIDED THEM WITH ANY INFO' OF "SUPPOSED" PROBLEM, NOR CAN THEY OFFER A SOLUTION.

ALSO, ON A TURN OF 90 OR 120 DEGREES, THERE WAS NO SIDE LIGHTING WHICH MEANT HE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN. IN ADDITION, WHEN GOING DOWN HILL, THE VISIBILITY OF THE LIGHTS DECREASED TO ABOUT 20-20 FEET. THE DEALER RAISED THE LIGHTS ABOUT FACTORY SPECS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR NIGHT TIME RURAL DRIVING. ON 7 OCT 2014 AT APPROX. 5:30AM A DEER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK HITTING JUST BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE IT IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING IT BECAUSE OF THE POOR HEADLIGHT LIGHTING DESIGN OF THE TRUCK. IF THE HEADLIGHT LIGHTING DESIGN ON THE TRUCK WAS ADEQUATE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER.THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ENOUGH OR IN FRONT OF YOU FOR MORE THAN APPROX. 50' TO 75' (THAT'S PROBABLY BEING GENEROUS) AND THE HIGH BEAMS ARE JUST AS BAD AND POINT UP IN THE AIR. THE NHTSA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND MAKE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED OR IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE WAITING ON TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SO HAS GM BUT TO DATE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ACTION TAKEN. IS THIS GONNA BE ANOTHER COVER UP BY GM WITH YOUR HELP BECAUSE BOTH YOU AND GM ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION OR ARE YOU GONNA DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO DO AND KEEP US SAFE ON THE HIGHWAYS.

THERE TRULY IS NO ACCIDENT AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER ... IF THIS CONDITION ISN'T CORRECTED, THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS. THESE MAY RESULT IN NOT ONLY LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY, BUT POSSIBLE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. THE ISSUE: THE PROJECTOR HEADLAMP DESIGN OF THE 2014 GMC SIERRA IS EXTREMELY SUBPAR FOR LIGHTING THE ROADWAY AHEAD OF YOU. INDIVIDUALS, IN ORDER TO NOT "OUTDRIVE" THEIR LIGHTS, WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO GO BELOW POSTED MINIMUM SPEED LIMITS ON HIGHWAYS, PRESENTING YET ANOTHER ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THOSE WHO WOULD APPROACH FROM THE REAR IN NIGHTTIME DRIVING CONDITIONS. I CONTACTED GMC ... AWARE OF THE ISSUE. NO HELP AT THIS TIME. I GOT THE IMPRESSION FROM THE OPERATOR THAT "NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS." I'M GUESSING THAT WHEN THE CATASTROPHIC AND TRAGIC HAPPENS, IT WILL NOT MATTER THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE FILED COMPLAINTS ... OFFICIALLY. SLIGHT RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL SHOW MANY INDIVIDUALS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE. BUT GMC'S ADMISSION THAT THEY ARE "AWARE" BUT ARE TAKING NO ACTION AT THIS POINT IS VERY DISTURBING. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT DESIGN ISSUES WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE CLEARED BY AN OVERSIGHT AGENCY OF SOME SORT? I JUST DISCOVERED THE EXTREMELY SCARY FEELING OF "DRIVING IN THE DARK" ... BASICALLY ... AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK SINCE THANKSGIVING. BUT I DRIVE MOSTLY IN THE DAYLIGHT, AND HAVE BEEN ON INTERSTATE 20 IN ONE OF THE BUSIEST SECTIONS WITH TRAFFIC AT NIGHT ... NOT REALIZING HOW MUCH OTHERS' LIGHTS WERE HELPING. WHEN DRIVING ALONE ON A RURAL ROAD, HOWEVER, IT IS TANTAMOUNT TO DRIVING WITH A FLASHLIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY. I AM WANTING TO TRUST THAT THE AGENCY TASKED WITH SAFETY WILL PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE? BEFORE SOMEONE OR MULTIPLES LOSE THEIR LIVES AND LAWSUITS ENSUE? *TR

HEADLIGHT LIGHTING IS USELESS, NIGHT DRIVING IS DANGEROUS. LIGHT OUTPUT IS SO LOW/DIM THAT IT IS EASY TO OUT DRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS.

I'VE HAD MY 2014 GMC SIERRA FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW, FIRST NIGHT I HAD IT I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW POOR THE LIGHT OUTPUT WAS FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS GMC SIERRA TRUCKS OVER THE YEARS AND THIS TRUCK BY FAR HAS THE WORSE HEADLIGHTS I'VE EVER HAD IN A TRUCK. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING, I'M DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY ONE UPSET WITH HOW POOR THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE. THERE ARE A FEW GUYS IN TOWN WITH THIS SAME TRUCK THEY ALL HATE THE HEADLIGHTS TOO. THESE HEADLIGHTS JUST SEEM VERY DIM, THEY DON'T SHINE THE DITCHES UP VERY WELL, THEY DON'T SHINE AHEAD VERY FAR EITHER. I HAVE BETTER LUCK RUNNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM AND FOG LIGHTS ON, IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE LESS LIGHT ON HIGH BEAM SO I RARELY HAVE THEM ON HIGH, I'VE HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE I NEARLY HIT A MOOSE, THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS I'M WORRIED THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GOING TO HIT A MOOSE OR WORSE A PERSON!

THE LARGE 8" INTELLILINK RADIO SCREEN IN THIS TRUCK HAS SEPARATE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL FROM THE REST OF THE DASH LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DUE TO IT'S SIZE AND COLORED BACKGROUND, THE LCD RADIO SCREEN IS MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE REST OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THE FACT THAT THE SYSTEM HAS NO NIGHT SCHEME, MEANING IT DOESN'T SHIFT TO A MOSTLY BLACK BACKGROUND AT NIGHT MAKES THIS PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOWER THE BRIGHTNESS USING A DASH-MOUNTED DIMMER SWITCH, THE DIMMER MUST BE LOWERED TO MINIMUM IN ORDER TO GET THE RADIO SCREEN TO BE A COMFORTABLE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL FOR NIGHT DRIVING. AT THIS POINT, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS ARE SO DIM AS TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND AS A RESULT REQUIRE MUCH MORE TIME AND EFFORT TO READ SPEED INFORMATION. THE ONLY WAY TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE RADIO SCREEN IS TO GO THROUGH SEVERAL MENUS INTO SETTINGS AND MANUALLY TURN OFF THE SCREEN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING BUT IF ANY VEHICLE SETTING SUCH AS RADIO VOLUME, OR HVAC CONTROLS ARE ADJUSTED, THE SCREEN AUTOMATICALLY TURNS BACK ON AND THE PROCESS MUST BE REPEATED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE DUE TO ITS DISTRACTING NATURE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT THE SYSTEM IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED." I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE BRIGHT LIGHT IN THE CAB RUINS NIGHT VISION WHILE ALSO DISTRACTING THE DRIVER'S EYES FROM THE ROAD. MY RECOMMENDATION IS FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE INTELLILINK/RADIO SYSTEM TO BE DESIGNED TO ADD A BRIGHTNESS SETTING IN THE SYSTEM MENU TO ALLOW DRIVER'S TO SET THE RADIO SCREEN BRIGHTNESS INDEPENDENTLY OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS AND TO ALSO PROGRAM A "NIGHT MODE" COLOR SCHEME THAT WOULD SHIFT FROM THE BLUE ILLUMINATED BACKGROUND USED IN THE DAYTIME TO SOMETHING THAT IS MOSTLY BLACK. *JS

THE PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLIGHTS THIS TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR SAFE NIGHT DRIVING WHEN NOT IN A CITY DRIVING CONDITION. THE LOW-BEAMS ARE SATISFACTORY FOR LOWER SPEEDS (IE <45MPH) BUT ARE EXTREMELY EASY TO OUT-DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE BEAM PATTERN IS ALSO NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO ILLUMINATE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE AREA DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE EVEN WORSE. THE HEADLIGHTS IN THIS TRUCK USE ONE SINGLE FILAMENT BULB FOR EACH HEADLIGHT. WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE TURNED ON, A MECHANICAL SHUTTER OPENS TO ALLOW MORE LIGHT THROUGH THE PROJECTOR LENS. THE LENS IS DESIGNED SUCH THAT THIS ADDITIONAL LIGHT IS AIMED SO HIGH AS TO BE USELESS. PARKED 20FT FROM A WALL, THE CENTER OF THE HIGH BEAM PATTER IS ALREADY SEVERAL FT ABOVE THE BULB LEVEL ON THE WALL. WHEN DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AND LEVEL ROAD WITH NO TREES, IT IS ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN TELL THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON SINCE THERE IS NO EXTRA BEAM TO ILLUMINATE THE SIDES OF THE ROAD AND THE CENTER BEAM IS POINTED UP INTO THE TREES. *JS

Mileage: 50

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION FOR NIGHT DRIVING. SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. POOR DESIGN AND/OR SPECIFICATIONS ON GM'S PART TO ALLOW THE USAGE OF THIS HEADLAMP CONFIGURATION ON ANY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD TODAY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED ASAP. *JS

WHEN I FIRST STARTED DRIVING MY NEW 14 GMC I HAD NEVER HAD A TRUCK WITH PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS SO I WAS UNSURE IF IT WAS JUST ME THAT HAD TO ADJUST TO THE BEAM OF LIGHT THEY PROVIDE OR IF IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTING ITSELF. AFTER HAVING DRIVEN MY 14 SILEVRADO WORK TRUCK WITH STANDARD LIGHTS I REALIZE THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE GMC PROJECTOR LIGHTS THEY ARE SO BAD IT MAKES YOU THINK THERE IS A FAULTY GROUND WIRE OR SOMETHING EXTRA ORDINARY WRONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. IT IS SO BAD THAT I EVEN LOOKED INTO UPGRADING THE BULBS BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT BECAUSE PHILIPS OWNS THE RIGHTS TO PRODUCE THEM AND WANTS TO OVER CHARGE THE AFTERMARKET FOR THE USE OF THE DESIGN, SO I AM STUCK WITH A HEADLIGHT SYSTEM THAT IS WORSE THEN A 6V HEADLIGHT FROM THE 40S. *TR

LIVING IN A RURAL AREA, I HAVE TO DECREASE MY SPEED TO NEARLY A CRAWL IN ORDER TO WATCH FOR OBSTACLES IN THE ROADWAY OR FOR WILDLIFE. I'VE OWNED 6 GMC VEHICLES (SIERRA OR YUKON) SINCE 2000 AND NONE OF THEM HAD THE POOR AND DANGEROUS LIGHTING THAT THIS 2014 SIERRA HAS. WHEN THE DEALER ADJUSTED, THE DIMS ARE NOW POINTING DOWN TO THE ROAD ABOUT 30' FROM THE BUMPER AND THE HIGH BEAMS ARE BOTH POINTING AT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ABOUT 75-100' WITH NO LATERAL LIGHTING AT ALL. IT'S SO BAD, I HAVE TO MAKE WIDE TURNS TO LIGHT UP THE DRIVEWAYS OR STREETS I'M TURNING INTO TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO DITCHES OR MISS THE TURN ALL TOGETHER. ON A 55MPH STRAIGHT ROAD, YOU CAN OUT RUN YOU LIGHTS! THE FOGS HELP THE LATERAL VISION A TINY BIT BUT THEY ARE NOT ALL THAT GOOD EITHER.

I DISCOVERED ONLY AFTER BUYING THIS VEHICLE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, AND CLEARLY AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD. THEY ARE A "NEW" PROJECTOR BULB STYLE - SINGLE BULB WITH NO INDEPENDENT HIGH BEAM. THE LIGHT IS DIM ON BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS, VERY NARROW, AND WHEN THE LOW BEAMS ARE AT THE RIGHT HEIGHT THE HIGH BEAMS ARE UP IN THE AIR. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THEY WERE JUST POORLY ADJUSTED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION. THEY DID NOT REVEAL TO ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OWNER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE LIGHTS, EASILY FOUND BY DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL AND FIX ON THESE LIGHTS.

I AM CONSTANTLY CHECKING TO SEE IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OPERATING - EVEN WHEN THE 'ICON' ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS THEY ARE 'ON', IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE WORKING DUE TO THE DIM OUTPUT. I DON'T SSE ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE HEADLUGHTS ON THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO (SAME PLATFORM AS GMC SIERRA) - SO I ASSUME THAT GM CAN 'FIX' THIS SAFETY ISSUE IF THEY WANTED TO. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ON 2014 SIERRA 1500 ARE HORRIBLE. DO NOT PROJECT VERY FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRIGHTS DO NOT DO ANYTHING BUT LIGHT UP THE TOPS OF TREES. AT DUSK, DAWN, OR WHEN RAINING IS PARTICULARLY BAD. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION DRIVING IN SMALL TOWNS OR IN TRAFFIC I THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE ACTUALLY OFF THEY ARE SO DIM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013 AND THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED THEM BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE GETTING EVEN DIMMER NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED...SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE A WRECK ONE OF THESE DAYS BECAUSE OF THESE AS YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT IS IN THE ROAD 100 FEET AHEAD. AT 55 MPH THAT COULD BE A DEATH SENTENCE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 ARE VERY VERY DIM. BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM MAKE IT VERY DIFFIUCULT TO SEE VERY FAR IN FRONT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING GM TRUCKS FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED LIGHTING SO TERRIBLE. WITH THE DEER IN PENNA. MOVING AT NIGHT THIS TIME OF YEAR I AM AT TIMES RELUCTANT TO GO OVER 35MPH. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GM HAS NOT MADE SOME KIND OF CHANGE TO THEIR HEADLIGHT SYSTEM NOTING THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. I DID TEST DRIVE THE TRUCK BUT OF COURSE NOT AT NIGHT, IT CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEAL BREAKER KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW. THAT IS HOW BAD THEY ARE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT AND EMPLORE THE NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACEMENT BULBS WITH MUCH HIGHER INTENSITY. NOTHING IS AVAILABLE OTHER THAN THE STANDARD. PLEASE TAKE ACTION! *TR

THESE HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO BAD YOU CAN ONLY SEE 50 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU ON LOW BEAM AT BEST AND ON HIGH BEAM THE LIGHTS SEEM TO SHINE ARE IN THE TREES. I AM SO SORRY I DID NOT TEST DRIVE AT NIGHT. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT.MY 2011 SIERRA WAS 100 % BETTER. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE NEW 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 ARE INCREDIBLY DIM. THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SUFFICIENTLY AND ARE DANGEROUS. RURAL ROADS ARE PRACTICALLY A NO-GO AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN DISTANCE OR ON THE SIDES OF THE ROAD. MAKING TURNS AT NIGHT ARE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THE NEED TO SWAP TO A BETTER LIGHT BUT THERE ARE NO OPTIONS THAT WON'T VOID MY WARRANTY BY GOING AFTERMARKET. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR ME. HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. NOTHING THAT DEALERSHIP CAN DO SINCE THERE ARE NO ALTERNATE LIGHTS OTHER THAN AFTERMARKET. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500, THAT I BOUGHT LAST WEEK, ARE EXTREMELY WEAK. THEY HAVE NO PROJECTION TO THE SIDES OF THE ROAD AND ONLY PROJECT FORWARD MAYBE 30 FT. AT 55 MPH AT NIGHT IS ASKING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT IN RAIN OR SNOW YET AND NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. GM NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE WINTER SETS IN. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO ALERT GM THAT THE ILLUMINATION FROM THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 SLT IS IN MY OPINION, INSUFFICIENT AND DANGEROUS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2014, I HAVE HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK TO SEE IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE PATTERN OF ILLUMINATION EMITTED FROM THE HEADLIGHTS DOES NOT PROVIDE THE VEHICLE OPERATOR WITH AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF LIGHTING, ESPECIALLY ON THE SIDES OF THE ROAD TO PREVENT POTENTIAL COLLISIONS WITH BICYCLISTS AND WALKING PEDESTRIANS. I HAPPEN TO LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA, THAT REQUIRES DRIVING ON ROADS AND HIGHWAYS THAT DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE STREET LIGHTING AND IN SOME AREAS NO STREET LIGHTS AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM OF POOR QUALITY HEADLIGHTS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. *TR

2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 Z-71 PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS ARE WITH OUT A DOUBT A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT ONLY ARE THEY DIM BUT THEY DO NOT "PROJECT" FAR ENOUGH DOWN THE ROAD IN EITHER THE LOW OR HIGH BEAM MODES. UNSAFE BECAUSE ONE OVER DRIVES THE BEAM PROJECTED. UNSAFE BECAUSE ONE CANNOT SEE OFF TO THE SIDES WHERE DEER AND OTHER ANIMALS APPROACH SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THESE HEADLIGHTS EITHER SOONER OR LATER UNDER A RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING FROM ALABAMA TO PENNSYLVANIA IN MY NEW GMC I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 15 MPH UNDER THE POSTED LIMIT DUE TO POOR ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHINE NO WHERE ON THE ROAD. I ONCE ALMOST MISSED A TURN ON A ROAD I DRIVE DAILY, ON ANOTHER OCCASION I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING TWO DEER ASIDE THE ROAD BECAUSE THE LIGHTS BROADCAST CENTER OF ROAD AND DO NOT SHINE AT ALL LEFT OR RIGHT. TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE PROVED USELESS, FIRST TRIP THEY WERE WILLING TO ADJUST LIGHTS, SECOND TRIP I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FURTHER ADJUSTMENT POSSIBLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE THAT COST $45,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON VEHICLE FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACTS VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 720.

FROM DAY ONE THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 VEHICLE ARE USELESS. THE DO NOT LIGHT UP AT ALL AND IS A VERY BAD SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL. WE CAN DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD ON HIGH BEAM AND NO ONE WILL FLASH US AT ALL. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND GMC AND SEEM TO GET NO WHERE. THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR BAD VISABILITY WITH THE NEW SHUTTER HEADLIGHTS BUT GMC SAYS THEY LOOK PRETTY. WELL PRETTY DOES NOT HELP BEING ABLE TO SEE. I HAVE READ PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW ANYONE THAT PURCHASED A 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND AGAIN THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE 2014 GMC SIERRS 3500 HAS THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS, WHY CANT THE 1500 HAVE THESE?? WE PAID $43,000 FOR THIS PICKUP AND CANT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT FOR THE FEAR OF HITTING ANIMALS, PEOPLE WALKING ETC. GMC SAYS OH WELL YOU BOUGHT IT YOUR FAULT, BUT WHO TAKES A TRIAL RIDE AT NIGHT?? IF WE COULD WE WOULD TRADE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHEVY, THEIR 2014 HAS REGULAR HEADLIGHTS. AGAIN I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS PLEASE SEARCH FOR COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER AND YOU WELL SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND GMC IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS AT ALL!! IF WE CRASH AT NIGHT DUE TO OUR LIGHTS, WHICH WHERE WE LIVE IN NORTHERN MAINE, WE WILL DEFINITELY BE PUTTING SOME LAWYERS IN ON THIS MATTER AND GOING AFTER SOMEONE FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT OUTPUT ON MY NEW 2014 GMC SIERRA IS SO POOR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY AT NIGHT. IN FACT, I DO NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. NOT ONLY ARE THE LIGHTS VERY DIM BUT THE SHAPE OF THE BEAM IS ALSO VERY POOR. WITH THE CURRENT OEM HEADLIGHT EQUIPMENT, THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. *TR

Mileage: 5,000

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 GMC SIERRA DO NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW LITTLE LIGHT THEY PUT OUT. IT IS ALMOST DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT THAT VISIBILITY IS SO LIMITED. *TR

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT NIGHT WHERE DEAR/VEHICLE COLLISIONS HAPPEN ON A DAILY (OR NIGHTLY) BASIS WITH THE POOR LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE 2014 SIERRA IS, SIMPLY PUT, TO BE AVOIDED IN MY OPINION AS WELL AS ALL THOSE WHO HAVE RIDDEN WITH ME AT NIGHT. ONE ACTUALLY BELIEVED I WAS JOKING AND ASKED ME TO TURN THE REAL HEADLIGHTS ON, IF THAT SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT TODAY. I HAVE AVOIDED NIGHT DRIVING WITH THIS TRUCK IN FAVOR OF A SEDAN EQUIPPED WITH OEM "HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE" HEADLIGHTS EVEN THOUGH DEER REPRESENT MORE OF A SIGNIFICANT DANGER DUE TO THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEDAN (NISSAN) AND THE PICKUP (14 SIERRA). I DO THIS BECAUSE WITH THE NISSAN'S HID HEADLIGHTS I AM CAPABLE OF SEEING THE DEER (OR PEDESTRIANS, DEBRIS, ETC) FROM AN ADEQUATE ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT ALLOWS ME TO SLOW WAY DOWN OR OTHERWISE ACT ACCORDINGLY. THAT IS NOT AN OPTION WITH THE 2014 GMC SIERRA AND IT'S PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS. WHILE THE SIERRA MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT OUTPUT TO SUFFICE IN WELL LIT TOWNS AND ON WELL LIT ROADWAYS, IT DOES NOT DO SO ON SECLUDED ROADS WHERE DEER ARE MOST PREVALENT AND IN TURN THE MOST DIFFICULT TO SEE. TURNING THE "BRIGHTS" ON MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO THE ACTUAL AREAS THAT REPRESENT THE POSSIBLE DANGER ONE MIGHT ENCOUNTER SUCH AS PEDESTRIANS, DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, DEER AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, POORLY LIT VEHICLES, ETC. IT DOES HOWEVER ILLUMINATE THE TREES WHICH MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO SOME BUT NOT TOO ME. I UNDERSTAND GM ATTEMPTING TO SAVE WHERE POSSIBLE, BUT GIVE US THAT NEED BETTER PERFORMING HEADLIGHTS HAVE THE FACTORY OPTION TO UPGRADE THEM TO HID'S, I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR IT, AS WE DID WITH THE NISSAN, AND AS MY BROTHER DID WITH HIS FORD F150, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE OUTSTANDING HEADLIGHT OUTPUT THANKS TO THE HID'S. *TR

WORST HEADLIGHT FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED VARIOUS GM TRUCKS FROM 1967 TO 2014. NEVER HAVE I OWNED A TRUCK WITH SUCH WORTHLESS HEADLIGHTS LIKE THE PROJECTOR BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH THE ALL TERRAIN PACKAGE. THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT ARE VERY DIM AND DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD MORE THAN 30 FEET AHEAD. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-70) THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE ONLY LIGHTING A HALF SECOND AHEAD OF YOU. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS NO LIGHTING TO ILLUMINATE THE SHOLDER AT ALL.. YOU MUST DRIVE FULL TIME WITH THE FOG LAMPS ON TO HAVE A SMALL INCREASE IN LIGHTING. WHEN USING THE HIGH BEAMS THERE IS VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON VISIBILITY. EXTREMELY DISAPOINTED IN THE 2014 GMC SIERRA. AND WILL UNLIKELY PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE. AT A MSRP OF OVER 50 GRAND I WOULD EXPECT A TRUCK TO HAVE ADEQUATE HEADLIGHT TO LIGHT THE ROAD. WITHOUT THE AFTERMARKET COST TO INSTALL BETTER LIGHTING THE 2014 GMC SIERRA IS VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE ON LOW BEAM WITHOUT THE USE OF THE LOWER DRIVING/FOG LAMPS. LOWER LAMPS NEEDED TO LIGHT SIDES OF ROAD. WHEN SWITCHING TO HIGH BEAMS, LAMPS ARE TOTALLY USELESS. BEAM IS FOCUSED WAY TOO HIGH AND NARROWS. WITHOUT LOWER FOG LAMPS ON WITH HIGH BEAMS, THERE IS NO ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD SIDES OR LOWER PAVEMENT FROM 5-30/50 FEET OUT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON RURAL HIGHWAYS OR COUNTY ROADS AT NIGHT OR ON OPEN INTERSTATES. UNABLE TO SEE ANY WILDLIFE OR PEDESTRIANS ON SIDE OR IN FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA. WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM 2ND SHIFT ALONG GOOD COUNTRY ROAD WHEN I HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS A DEER. REASON WAS BE THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY WEEK OLD GMC SIERRA ARE AWFUL. THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD CORRECTLY (SIDE TO SIDE) OR DISTANCE WISE. THE LOW BEAMS SHINE OUT ABOUT 30 FEET AND WHEN I USE THE HIGH BEAMS THE LIGHT IS NOT AIMED PROPERLY. IT SHINES EVERYWHERE BUT ON THE ROAD. DEALER SAID THEY'VE HAD LOT OF COMPLAINTS BUT NO INFO FROM GM ON A FIX. MY LAST GM TRUCK HAD GREAT LIGHTS. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A RAM! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS NOT TO BE COVERED UP LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH THING. *TR

WORST HEADLIGHT ON A NEW VEHICLE. I OWN 4 AUTOS AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON LOCAL PENNSYLVANIA ROADS. THE HIGH BEAM HAS NO INCREASE IN VISUAL EFFECT. VERY DISAPPOINTED I MAY HAVE TO ADD EXTRA LIGHT OR MODIFY FACTORY TESTED LIGHTING TO MAKE THIS ADEQUATE FOR SAFE DRIVING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE TERRIBLE. VERY DIM. BRIGHTS ARE NO BETTER. INSTALLED AFTERMARKET LIGHTING (JUST UNDER $400) JUST TO BE SAFE AT NIGHT. . MADE COMPLAINT WITH GM. THEY DID NOT ADMIT TO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM AND OFFERED NOTHING TO MAKE SITUATION RIGHT. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GMC WITH PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORSE HEADLIGHTS OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED (I HAVE OWNED 341). THE HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF ABRUPTLY AT 36 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN OUTDRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS AT 5 MPH. AFTER 4 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE AIMED THE HEADLIGHTS UP TO CAST THE LIGHT OUT FURTHER, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS ARE NOW 30 FEET UP IN THE TREES. THE LIGHT IS VERY, VERY DIM OVERALL. I OWN A 2014 MOSSIMO UTV FOUR WHEELER AND THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER AND HAVE MORE DISTANCE THAN MY $50,000 TRUCK, I ALSO OWN A KIA SOUL, A 2013 FORD FUSION, AND A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ALL OF THOSE HEADLIGHTS ARE MUCH BRIGHTER AND GIVE GREAT LIGHT DISPERSION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AND ARE BRIGHT. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE LIKE A 3 WAY BULB 70/100/125 WATT.MY OTHER CARS ARE LIKE THE 125 AND THE GMC IS LESS THAN THE 70 WATT SETTING...GOOD COMPARISON. GMC IS USING 1 HIR SINGLE FILAMENT BULB WITH A MECHANICAL FLAPPER FOR LOW BEAM. VERY SORRY SET UP. I LIVE IN TENNESSEE WHERE THE ROADS ARE CROOKED AND HAVE NO SHOULDERS. IF YOU DRIVE OFF THE ROAD, YOU ARE IN A DEEP DITCH OR DEAD. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. 1901 HEADLIGHTS ON A 2014 TRUCK. I DO NOT ANY LONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. GM HAS DONE NOTHING. NO FIX, NO BULLETIN. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2014 GMC HEADLIGHTS ON THE INTERNET. I GUESS GM WILL COVER THIS UP LIKE THE IGNITION THING. I HAD A 2002 CORVETTE THAT THE IGNITION WOULD LOCK UP THE STEERING WHEEL ON, WHILE DRIVING. GM SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD VIDEO. THEY BOUGHT IT BACK. COVERUP ARTISTS! *TR
