A/C condenser has gone out. Only 72,000 miles on vehicle. Vehicle is only driven on the weekends. This was noticed after starting the vehicle and waiting for the A/C to cool off which never happened. Took to a local auto shop to access the problem.

Air condenser failure. There is a recall for Suburban, Yukon and Tahoe for the same issue, and same parts, however not for the Silverado and Sierra of the same year. This is not covered under any recall or warranty from GM/Chevy. There are multiple class action lawsuits across the us regarding this topic alone. I do not believe that there should be this type of failure on a 4.5 year old truck, especially when the original cost of the truck is $50,000.

I have a leak in the A/C condenser. This is a very well known issue. There are stories written about this issue because it is so wide spread. At one point the parts were on back order, that is how many people have had issues. Just contacted GM and they will do nothing about it. They do not consider this to be a safety issue. Yet on the front page of even your website, there is an article about death's from heat rising. So a defective A/C system seems like a safety issue to me- here are the many stories written on the issue: Https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/GM-air-conditioning-responds-439572983.html https://chevroletforum.com/forum/2014-2018-gmt-K2-110/2014-Silverado-ac-problems-already-67170/page8/ https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/GM-ac-compressor-condenser-problems-lawsuit.shtml https://www.torquenews.com/3768/owners-2014-Chevrolet-Silverado-want-federal-trade-commission-force-recall-their-air-conditioning-problems www.radiatorhelpline.com/2017/06/2014-2017-Chevy-GM-condenser-widespread-failure.html https://www.consumerclasslawyersblog.com/bunch-hot-air-ac-GMC-Chevy-trucks-simply-not-work/

The door locks dont always lock. My grandson was in the back seat and fell asleep, while asleep he bumped the door handle and the door opened while we were going 50 mph., lucky he had the seat belt on. The door should not have opened as the lock should have engaged when the truck is put in gear and made the door handle inoperable. The door lock actuator is the problem, this will be the second one replaced. You dont know they dont work because they make a locking sound when activated. They just dont lock, very dangerous glad he didnt fall out of the vehicle.

I have noticed an issue for a few years while parking that my brakes would lock up if used repeatedly. While getting service done I had asked if they noticed anything and they had said no. They have know recognized it is a problem but are limiting the fix to 72000 miles which I am 3K over. They said I have never formally complained about this so I disqualify for the $ $540 repair. Yet they recognize it is an issue with the vehicle. I feel they are trying to avoid a formal recall.

I have taken my vehicle three times to the dealership for the radio systems turning off completely, not giving access to radio functions, and stays on after the vehicle is completely turned off. Now the issue is crossing over to the driver cluster control module where it turns off completely and restarts on its own while I'm driving. Dealership has never given me a solution or have contacted me since then. When I called about on going issue, they stated that they cannot do anything unless the problem is present when at the dealership even after I explained it happens at random times. They refused to listen and look up prior service history. Did prior research and located an article that radio and cluster were going to be part of a recall but GM claimed it was not an issue.

My 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 has a air conditioning leak in the condenser for the 2nd time. The first time was at 48,000 miles (2 yrs old) and now again at 92,000 (4yrs old). The first time the part was on national backorder, however I was able to locate one at a different dealership. I paid $600 for the replacement. Now they want to charge me $1000 for the same thing. However they are willing to cut me a break down to $699. I believe this is because there is also a leak in the cooling system. I have contacted GM and there standard warranty is 1 yr on parts so they are not willing to anything about it. Upon doing some internet searches this appears to be a wide spread problem. Please note that the phone number on the uploaded paperwork is incorrect.

A/C condenser and hose defective manufacturing causing it to malfunction and cease working. Has happened on numerous models but GMC refuses to to cover the costs associated with this. Items needed to repair are out of stock causing long delays in getting repair. Driving in the extreme heat in socal with small children is not safe. Would like for your Agency to help in protecting the consumer by standing up to GMC / Chevy to hold them accountable for this faulty manufacturing. There is a pending class action lawsuit in tn I believe and countless social media posts about this widespread problem yet it remains the burden of the consumer to not only pay out of pocket but to wait for repairs because parts are out of stock. 1st quote was $1600, then GMC said they would pay for a portion bringing the costs down to approximately $700. Its a huge financial burden that shouldn't exist. Do a quick google search on GMC ac problems and you will see the problem is not unique to me. We've only owned GMC cars and never had an issue and have put over 150K miles on it. Please help.

Discharge hose failed causing air conditioning to not function. It leaked at the bend, near the compressor. This is a known issue as there was a bracket made to reduce vibration and increase life of hose. Very many failures of this hose and condenser.

Ac condenser failed. When researched on-line found pages of others complaining about the same issue...always cracks in the same corner. GMC would not warranty. Wanted to charge $1,300 to replace their faulty condenser. Even the service dpmt admitted it was an issue. Ended up paying about half that, but the bottom line is GM has a faulty component and they are hoping they fail just outside of warranty. An ac condenser is not something that should ever (or very, very rarely) get replaced in the normal life of a vehicle, certainly not before a 100,000 miles. This should be a mandatory recall and updated or at least it should be covered for those that fail during the normal life cycle of the vehicle.
