This Problem Across All Years
THE FACTORY INSTALLED RUNNING BOARDS ARE UNSAFE. THE TREADS NEED TO BE LARGER, MORE AGGRESSIVE AND ROTATED 90^. AS THEY ARE THEY ARE SIMPLY SKID PADS WHEN WET OR FROZEN. YOU SIMPLY NEED TO TRY AND ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND SEE HOW EASILY YOUR FOOT SIDES OFF CAUSING THE PERSON THE FALL. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL SLIPS/FALLS. TODAY I HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD ON THE DOOR JAM. JUST ROTATING THE TREAD NINETY DEGREES WOULD HELP.

WHEN WE TOOK OUR NEW TRUCK FOR A TEST DRIVE WE NOTICED A VIBRATION. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOOK CARE OF IT. WHEN TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRUCK AND DROVE IT HOME THE VIBRATION WAS BETTER AT A SLOWER SPEED BUT INCREASED AS THE SPEED INCREASED. WE RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY BALANCED THE TIRES AND ROTATED THE DRIVESHAFT 180 DEGREES. IT SEEM TO BE A LITTLE BETTER. BECAUSE WE TAKE THIS TRUCK TO FLORIDA FOR THE WINTER AND IT IS LOADED MY HUSBAND DECIDED THAT HE WOULD PUT SOME WEIGHT IN THE BACK OF IT TO SEE HOW IT WOULD AFFECT IT. THE VIBRATION WAS BETTER AT A SLOWER SPEED AND WORSE AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO IT. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING AN ELECTRONIC VIBRATION ANALYSIS ON IT. MY HUSBAND HAS RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE REGISTERING THEM ON YOUR WEBSITE. *TR

WHILE ON VACATION I BOUGHT A 2014 SIERRA DENALI THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY DRIVEN BY A GM EXECUTIVE AND BOUGHT BY THE DEALERSHIP IN W.VA. AFTER COMING HOME I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW THAT THE FRAME AND DRIVESHAFT WERE COVERED IN RUST. HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK. *TR

MY SON AND I WERE DRIVING MY GMC SIERRA 2014 TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE BEFORE WE CRASHED. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HAS HIS LEARNER'S PERMIT, HOWEVER, HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 4 MONTHS. AT A FORK IN THE ROAD I TOLD MY SON QUICKLY TO MAKE A RIGHT RATHER THAN LEFT AND WE CRASHED INTO AN IMPROPERLY GRATED WALL OF DIRT CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO FROM 40 MPH TO 0 WITH MY SON HAVING HIS SEATBELT ON, BUT I DID NOT. NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND BOTH OF US SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES. MY SON BROKE HIS NOSE AND I AM SUFFERING FROM A BROKEN NOSE, CONCUSSION AND A BURST VERTEBRAE. NEITHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHICH COULD'VE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ON OUR INJURIES. *TR
