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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

This isn't a discussion on how we drive or choose to break laws. This is a safety item on a vehicle that GM has to address. Simple as that.

You shouldn't be so quick to offer up "opinions" as it provides false info to those that read these. Since you are from Atlanta, this is what is required for Georgia (pay close attention to point b); O.C.G.A. § 40-8-26 GEORGIA CODE Copyright 2016 by The State of Georgia All rights reserved. *** Current Through the 2016 Regular Session *** TITLE 40.

Standards for brake lights and signal devices (a) Any motor vehicle may be equipped and when required under this article shall be equipped with the following signal lights or devices: (1) A brake light on the rear which shall emit a red light and which shall be actuated upon application of the service (foot) brake and which may but need not be incorporated with a taillight; and (2) A light or lights or mechanical signal device capable of clearly indicating any intention to turn either to the right or to the left and which shall be visible from both the front and the rear.

Well, if that is the law, then what obligation do you think the OEM has?

TSB? No way as this is a safety issue. Tail lights are required and if there is a possibility that they fail due to crappy piss poor overseas inferior products due to cost savings attempts, then it will be a recall. If I had a light out because of this and the police pulled me over and gave me a ticket, I would force GM to pay for that ticket (if I had to keep driving waiting for a part). GM has no shame in penalizing their vendors if they give them crap products for safety issues, even if it is their own fault for sourcing and not properly testing the products. Hopefully it becomes a lesson learned for them through this as every recall is a blemish and costs them potential buyers. My '14 has already had 3 recalls and one item fixed for a TSB (which is now a recall). Pretty sad.

I use my impact gun and have for 20+ years. Shops tell you to re-torque after 50 miles and when I've checked them, they don't even budge using a johnson bar. So you tell me that they use a torque wrench when I can't budge them with a johnson bar?

That applies everywhere. In this day and age, companies are less concerned with workmanship and pride and will take risks knowing full well that they may have some fallout that they would have to payout from time to time. All of this is considered in business decisions. Inferior products from overseas are to blame for this shift in mentality unfortunately. Not defending GM as I too am pissed at the issues I'm having with my 2014. Mind you, I've owned so many vehicles I'd still say that Dodge and Ford rank # 1 and # 2 as the biggest POS's out there. I had a 2006 Dodge 3500 with the famed 5.9L Cummins - the truck was a POS as I had to replace the entire front end within 40K miles and the engine developed severe blowback by the time it got to 70K miles. Funny thing is that I rarely towed with it and the heaviest item I towed was my 7000lb boat which was towed twice a year.
