Mine has done this 3 separate times. I turn the AC off/on, switch vents from floor to windshield, eventually it starts to blow cool air again

Got truck back. Cold air again. Leaking hose from compresor to condensor. Changed hose and added a bracket. Said it was a design flaw. Why not do a recall or something?

I had the same problem, took it to the dealer and they said the same thing. Cracked hose and no freon... Parts ordered and repaired.. Worked one day and then back to not blowing cold air.. Took it to

I had the same issue this week as the rest of you on my '14 Sierra. Leaking hose that had to be replaced and Freon added. Frustrating!

I threw the belt, but that is the only issue so far 25,560 on it now.

Guess I can add a new one. Yesterday something let go in the ducting, I think. Fan still goes to high, but only a little comes out of the vents making the cab not cool.

My a/c works normally most of the time but I have noticed if i go WOT for a short period of time the temp of the air out of the vents rises during that time then goes back to ice cold. Normal?

Completely normal.. The factory ECU calibration commands the AC-OFF at 100% throttle. This can be tuned out but not only does it free up power, which I'm assuming you want at WOT, but it also keeps you from spinning your compressor at 6k RPM's which can shorten it's life.

Not sure if the AC is lacking freon, but it seems the passenger air vents blow HOT air and the driver side

cool air.. cycle the different options to see if this will redirect or shut off the hot air coming out of pass

side, but no changes.. I think this happened a month ago and cleared itself up, but now, even with turning

the passenger side thermostat to 65, it blow hot air ???

is there a service bulletin out on this problem?

I have 19,000 on my 2014 GMC Sierra and the ac just quit yesterday. We had a three day trip to Hershey PA and it worked fine. I took it on the beach today on Long Island and we were bouncing around like crazy in the sand. I do remember hearing a thud like I ran something over. I only noticed I didn't have ac later in the day when I went to top off my gas tank. I'm guessing I ran into the same problem as most here......cracked tube leaking freon and defective bracket design. That's probably the thud I heard. I am taking it to the dealership in two days. I will update.

I'd have to agree with you...

Can someone who has had this fixed by the dealer please post pictures of the bracket & where it's located?

The fix has been out for over a year so your dealer should be familiar with it.

I finally have a chance to post.

 

My dealer took my 2014 GMC Sierra in without an appointment, gave me a Cadilac STS loaner (blah), and fixed the a/c, recharge, and new bracket. I came prepared with a print out of the known issue and the bracket that needed to be installed. So they gave me no bull shit. While it was there they did my inspection for no charge.

 

The repair bulletin PIT5331//OP.CODE 4415010

Part numbers Description

23438932 Hose 9.225

23264893 Bracket 9.242

12356150X 12356150 1LB134

 

The jury is still out on whether it blows as cold as before. I say no, my wife says yes.

Sounds to me like deliberation has concluded and jury is out.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
