2014 GMC SLT engine stalls intermittently

Just bought 2014 GMC Sierra SLT Crew 4X4 5.8 box 3.73 gears with 6.2L and max trailer package. I absolutely love everything about this truck, lots of power and decent gas mileage as well (21.5mpg combined for first 850 miles and as high as 26.7mpg on highway (Imperial gallons)) and surprisingly smooth ride considering max trailer package.

I have not hooked on to 28' travel trailer yet as want to put on few more miles before I do that.

 

My only complaint is the truck just recently has decided to stall for no reason and coincidently only after I turn right at an intersection and it doesn't do it every time. My neighbor bought a 2014 GMC Sierra Crew All Terrain with 5.3L about 6 months ago and he had the exact same problem with his truck about 4 months ago. Dealer had determined that the cause for his truck was a faulty BCM and just replaced the BCM on mine today. My neighbor has not had any issues since BCM replaced so hopefully that fixes problem. Does not do much to instill confidence in my new GM truck and would actually be a serious safety issue if it happened in a heavy traffic situation.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Doesn't look like anyone else was having this problem but GM had officially advised Dealers to NOT add Dealership leather key tags to keys as they believe the key tag would occasionally jam in the steering wheel and physically turn off the key. Removed my leather key tag and, voila, no issues since, with 5000 miles on the truck now.

I had this problem once in my 2007 Colorado ran fine but stalled at every light and stop sign.

 

I had bad tank of gas. Bought some cheap stuff from the UPI gas stations we have around here.

 

Never went back there never had another issue.

 

Try running injector cleaner through it and I gave my Colorado a shot of octain booster for that tank than ran it half out put 93 octaine in.

 

Then ran that entire tank out of it.

 

Never had an issue again.

 

Just a suggestion if you bought gas somewhere else like I did.

Any warning lights show up? I had an issue with my spark plug wires not having any dielectric grease in the connectors causing misfires and engine stalls. But when that happened the whole dash lit up with warning lights.

 

Dealer installed new wires and coil packs and packed them with grease. Never had an issue since. That was about 7000 miles ago.

So are you saying that removing the leather key fob solved your problem?

Maybe too early to tell, but approx. 1500 miles since removing key tag and no issues so far. I actually work at a GM Dealership and we recently had a customer with 2014 GMC with same issue only would shut off almost daily. She had a leather key tag and a lot of other stuff on her key ring. Asked her to remove almost everything from her key ring about 3 weeks ago and no issues for her since either.

BTW, GM didn't actually say that was their reason for asking the Dealers to not use leather key tags but it seems to have resolved the issue so far.

It has happened to me at least 8 times since I bought my 2014 Silverado in Oct 2014. Talked to dealer and they never heard of my problem before. Funny how there are at least 5 of us that do. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow. Also had Radio turn on by itself and the screen went black. Had the AC blowing cold air when the AC mode was off. Anybody else have problems with AC and Radio?

I had my AC control unit just go out and not come back on until I cut it off and restarted it when my '15 was almost brand new and mine has stalled in the middle of driving it a few times. I have 10k miles on it now.

I created a post with the same problem. I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ and it will sometimes lock up and stall on a certain turn. Bringing it in Wednesday or Thursday and will post the answer on my topic, steering wheel lock up. One person replied with the same problem on his 2014 Sierra and had "the problem" fixed only to have it stall again on a u turn. The first time around he said they said the battery was loose or something.

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra I have aftermarket recon headlights, it stalls every now and then and when it does I get anti theft warnings , roll down driver window and roll it back up , dealership said it was the headlights so I reworded the LED to the battery with a relay since they said that would fix it and it still stalls !!! Any ideas ?

Personally, I would be checking all the grounds as my start to troubleshooting these types of problems before letting them charge you for a BCM.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
