Add Another unhappy camper to the list.
Info about the truck: 2014 Sierra LTZ Z71 All Terrain package. 22 inch Bridgestone Duelers. This is a $52000 truck! It should not have these issues
I have a new 2014 Sierra that along with the vibration issue has other problems as well. First let me say that I love this truck...however there are some problems that need to be addressed.
First: The vibration. When I tried this truck out. as soon as I left the dealers lot I noticed the vibration, chalked it up to sitting in the lot for possibly weeks with flat spots on the tires. As soon as I got on the highway the vibration got so intense that it would almost shake you out of the seat and felt like a wheel was going to fall off. Immediately returned to the dealer and notified them. I told them that if they want me to buy this truck, fix the problem.(Should have been a RED FLAG moment). Next day dealer called said one of the tires was bad and they replaced it. Problem solved(NOT). Tried the truck again...only a hint of vibration. Signed the papers and took delivery. Truck was good for a couple of days, but now the vibration is very noticeable and worse as speeds increase. Truck has less than 500 miles. No longer feeling good about my truck. Calling the Dealer in am.
These maybe off topic but are still related to this truck.
Second: There are issues with the transmission. Actually not sure if tranny or something else. When accelerating you can see and feel the RPMS increase to almost redline but the speed doesn't match the RPMs. Feels like its slipping. No matter whether its easy or harder acceleration , it just not smooth, like it never actually is in the correct gear.
Third: May be related to #2. The adjustable pedals. While in theory its good, but in this case not so good. Raising and lowering the pedals dramatically changes the driving dynamics and not in a good way! Lowered they make acceleration next to impossible. Its like the force you to drive like an old lady in a Buick. Raising towards the top the ability to accelerate increases to the point that at the top all you need to do is just touch the gas and it will put you in the bushes! There is very little happy medium. Lower them for more comfort the vehicle becomes lethargic with very little throttle control. Raise them and it puts your leg and foot in an uncomfortable position with too much throttle. There is no smooth transition.
Third: The headlights on this truck SUCK! nuf said!
