So I was doing more research on this and as I have Nav, if the antenna fails then the GPS also fails to work. Well the GPS and my Onstar works fine but no XM radio reception. If someone has a part number for the antenna, that would be appreciated otherwise I'm just contacting the local dealer. Thanks.

I own a 2014 Sierra and over the past two seasons, my satellite radio doesn't work once temps get below 40F. Initially I thought it was the antenna in the first season however when I made a trip down south, once the temp was above 50F my satellite radio would work. Once I drove back north, gone. Before I start replacing things, I just thought I'd ask if anyone else was experiencing similar issues. I've done a search here and on the internet and there is nothing that aligns with the symptoms of what I'm experiencing. I might as well cancel my Sirius subscription from November to April each year. One of the many quirks with this truck (original owner). Cannot believe the amount of recalls on this truck as well and the shifting clunks are unbelievable.

Just noticed the same thing last weekend when I backed a Parker down a ramp. Put my foot on the brakes and didn't slow down. I thought the truck was getting launched at the same time. How pathetic is it that you cannot stop a boat rated just over 60% of the max trailering weight?

Side bar to reading about these problems. I can't help but comment on how shitty GM trucks are. I get that a few trucks may have this problem but looking at the responses, this is another joke of poor design and quality control. I'm at the wits ends on my POS tranny with its hard shifts, clunking, and other garbage.

This happened to a co-workers 2014 Sierra SLT a few months ago. His was the sliding rear window and the passenger side blew out when he was driving down the road. Not sure whether he had his rear defrost on but it was past the warranty period and he paid out of pocket for replacement.

Dodge can change the interior all they want but the exterior still looks like a 2002. Couple that with a box that will maybe last 7 years before it rots from the inside out. My 2006 3500 Laramie started getting blisters after 7 years and it was rust proofed every 2 years. I'd never consider Dodge ever again. The damn front ends last maybe 40 - 60K before you have to replace all the ball joints and control arms. My buddies 2011 2500 has already received a new front end, rear brake calipers (ceased), full brakes, new rad, DPF issues galore, exhaust, and it constantly throws codes. It has less than 100K on it. You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig.

I agree - mine do the same thing but it is the front and back. How does your front end sound when you to a full turn at slow speed? Does it creak like a son of a bitch? Mine does. Five recalls and 2 other dealer induced f/up's, upshift and downshift clunks from hell, I still can't believe that I haven't parted ways with this truck. If it wasn't so damn good looking, I would have. Rams are just butt ugly and I'll never get into a full aluminum body truck.

Set it on fire and collect the insurance money.

Has anyone just had the bottom of the screen black out when they adjust the HVAC controls? Mine's done that and also the instrument panel has blacked out on the radio controls (didn't display the music station or song).

I would say there is more of a problem if these trucks cannot handle driving on bare pavement without grenading as opposed to discussing whether a few hours on the road in 4WD will hurt it. When did trucks stop becoming trucks?

Save your money for booze. You'll have way more fun with little to no worries. BTW, I have a '14 and other than recalls and some other minor items, no real troubles.

Go to another dealer or file a complaint with GM. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, in their warranty which discusses seating. That dealership was talking out of their ass. This is the full warranty info for a 2016 GMC; http://www.gmc.com/content/dam/GMC/global/master/nscwebsite/en/home/Owners/Warranty/03_pdf/2016-gmc-limited-warranty-and-owner-assistance.pdf Go read your owners manual to see if there is something noted there.

Fixed.

So you are saying it is normal to have all these problems? I've owned lots of vehicles and I've never experienced so many small issues as I have with my '14 Sierra. You don't care about all these little quirks, I get it but lots of other people do. A +$60K vehicle should not have these issues if it were engineered and tested properly. There are recalls on some of the items I've noted. But I've also worked directly with the OEM's, including GM, when going through new vehicle proving and it is less than what one would expect. Back room buy-offs to ensure that new model year vehicles are not delayed and then they play the warranty numbers game to determine next steps without considering if it impacts customer satisfaction or sales loses. Anyway, I don't want to hijack the OP's thread.
