2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

WHEN 'FEATHERING' MY BRAKES WHENEVER I'M IN A SMALL AREA (PARKING LOT, FITTING INTO A SPACE, MY BRAKES GRIND WHILE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO ROLL ANOTHER FOOT OR SO WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN AT A STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT IF I DISENGAGE THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD A BIT AND THEN TRY TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE TRUCK IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT'S HAPPENED IN BOTH PARKING LOTS, MY DRIVEWAY, AND OFF RAMPS FROM A HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, A TAPPING NOISE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND WHITE SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL NAVARRE CHEVROLET (1620 BEGLIS PKWY, SULPHUR, LA 70663) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,446.

THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CLAIMING THE THE TRACTION WAS UNSTABLE, ASSISTANCE REQUIRED. THEN WHEN TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND WAS MAKI G A TURN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON THE 101, IN CALABASAS CA. AS I TRIED TO BRAKE THE PEDAL GOT VERY HARD. EVERY TIME I BRAKED IT WAS TAKING LONGER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'M TRAVELING TO MEXICO WITH MY FAMILY. I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN SIMI VALLEY, CA. I CONSIDER THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION OF ALL THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ALL OCCUPANTS AND OTHER DRIVERS WHO ARE NEXT TO THEM. I HOPE YOU TAKE IN CONSIDERATION MY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT THE VEHICLE BEING INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER SPECIAL COVERAGE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15829 (RADIATOR LEAK) FROM NOVEMBER 9, 2016, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000 (STEERING). AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LIFE THREATHING STEERING ISSUE: 2014 SILVERADO WHILE DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE, EVEN WITH THE STRONGEST GRIP OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS USUALLY OCCURS DURING TURNING AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON ONLY AFTER THE ISSUE ARISES THUS NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENS . I HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS OCCURRING BY VIDEO AND OTHER 2014 SILVERADO OWNERS HAVE ALSO. CHECK OUT YOUTUBE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, SEARCH: 2014 SILVERADO STABILITRAK PROBLEMS. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED GM TO DO SOMETHING, THE DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE (AND SIMILAR GM PRODUCTS WITH THE SAME REPORTED ISSUE) AND OTHER MOTORIST FACE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ATTRIBUTES IT TO MANY COMPONENTS: GROUND CABLES, BATTERIES, GROUNDING LUGS, BCM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOW VOLTAGE.....ON AND ON. AGAIN CHECK OUT THE GM-TRUCKS.COM WEBSITE AND CONFIRM FROM OTHER OWNERS POSTINGS. I'VE REPAIRED / REPLACED THE: BATTERY, CUT THE MATERIAL OUT FROM UNDER THE G218 GROUNDING LUG, NEW BATTERY CABLES, THERE IS EVEN A TSB PIT5405A, ALL TO NO AVAIL. THERE IS NO EXACT SOLUTION THAT I OR THE GM REPAIR SHOPS (SO I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER) CAN DEFINITIVELY PUT AN ANSWER TO, SO THE POOR CONSUMER IS LEFT WITH A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE FORCED TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE AND NEVER TRUST YOUR LIFE BEING IN ONE OR BEING ON THE ROAD AROUND ONE OF THEM. NHTSA PLEASE MAKE GM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REMEDY THIS ISSUE

THE VEHICLE SUFFERED INTERMITTENT FAILURES TO START (ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK). THE INITIAL ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE ISSUE BY THE DEALER WAS TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THE BATTERY BEING REPLACED WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS THE SECOND BATTERY THE DEALER HAD REPLACED IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS. THE INITIAL REPAIRS FAILED. ULTIMATELY, THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY STARTER MOTOR. A CHECK OF THE PART NUMBER OF THE FACTORY STARTER MOTOR THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO) INDICATES IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO/GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH THE 4.3L V6 ENGINE. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 5.3L V8 ENGINE. EITHER THE INCORRECT PART WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY OR GM DETERMINED IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE 5.3L V8 ENGINE AND DISCONTINUED USING IT FOR THIS MODEL. REGARDLESS, GM NEVER MADE ANY NOTIFICATION OF THE ISSUE.

MOISTURE FORMING ON INSIDE OF WINSHIELD

WHILE BACKING WITH TRAILER DOWN LONG DOWNHILL GRADE, BRAKES FADE AND GET HARD TO PUSH, REDUCING STOPPING POWER TO THE POINT THAT IT'S NOT CERTAIN I WILL BE ABLE TO STOP.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW IN 2014 AND CURRENTLY HAS 50K (12/18) ON VEHICLE. SIGNIFICANT DEGRADATION OF WAX UNDERCOAT ON FRAME, PEELING OFF ALLOWING WATER ETC TO BE TRAPPED BENEATH IT. FRAME HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST ON AREAS WHERE UNDERCOATING FAILED. DEALER RECOMMENDS THE FRAME BE REPAIRED AND RUST STOPPED TO "SAVE WHAT IS LEFT OF IT". DEALER SAYS GM WILL NOT COVER REPAIR. EMAILED GM AND NO REPLY

LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED RECALL 17276 REPROGRAMING POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE TWICE AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED PROBLEM.

MY SILVERADO HAS AROUND 56K MILES. TWO DAYS AGO THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLING TO THE FLOOR STARTED. THIS IS AT LOW SPEEDS AND ESPECIALLY AFTER USING THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES. THIS IS NOT THE ABS KICKING IN. I WAS A SERVICE MANAGER FOR FORD FOR YEARS AND IT FEELS LIKE WHEN A BRAKE BOOSTER GOES BAD. VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT FX CAPRARA CHEVROLET IN PULASKI NY THIS MORNING FOR DIAGNOSIS AS THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. VEHICLE WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS PEDAL FEEL BECOMES HARD AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS ALMOST ENDED IN A COLLISION

AFTER DRIVING EXTENSIVELY THROUGH SEVERAL TOWNS, CITIES AND ON HIGHWAYS, THE BRAKES WENT OUT AS WE TURNED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. HAROLD CHEVROLET (DEALER AND SERVICE) REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, VACUUM PUMP AND HOSE BECAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP LEAKED INTERNALLY INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. ($1638.86) THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE NEWSPAPER, YOU ARE AWARE BUT HAVE FAILED TO WARN OWNERS. INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY. I USE THIS TRUCK TO BACK MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. IF THE BRAKES HAD FAILED, I DO NOT THINK I COULD HAVE SURVIVED WITH MY AGE (73) AND DISABILITY (NEUROPATHY OF FEET AND LEGS.)THIS REALLY STRESSES ME.

UNDER LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE EXPECTED OR TYPICAL STOPPING POWER. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN TOWING AND ON HILLS. A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN POSTED BY GM (PIT5361B) DETAILING THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY POOR VACUUM SUPPLIED TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT LOW ENGINE SPEEDS. FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON AN INCLINE WHILE TOWING A BOAT, THE TRUCK COULD NOT STOP THE SETUP WITHIN A FEW FEET EVEN AT WELL LESS THAN 5 MPH. CONTINUES WHEN BACKING DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND EVEN STOPPING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON ANY STREET SURFACE AND I APPLY THE BREAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD, CAUSING INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT AND LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES. LOCAL DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP.

APPLYING THE BRAKES REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A DAMAGED/FAULTY VACUUM PUMP AS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER DRIVER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP ON A CITY STREET IN WILLIAMSBURG, VA AT A RED LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (MIKE RICKENBACH, 10 UNIVERSITY PKWY, OKATIE, SC 29909) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,500.

WHEN TRAFFIC IS STOP AND GO I LOSE THE POWER BREAKS AND HAVE TO PUSE EXTRA HARD TO STOP TRUCK

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION I STARTED HEARING A LOUD NOISE AS I WAS COMING TO YIELD BECAUSE OF SLOW TRAFFIC IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO BRAKE I WAS HAVING DIFFICULT TIME BRAKING I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR IT TO COME TO A VERY SLOW AND LONG DISTANT STOP I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO GET MY TRUCK TOWED IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER IT SO I HAD TO PAY IT ENDED BEING A BRAKE HOSE THAT BUSTED I PAYED ABOUT $850 AND I HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP I FELT VERY SCARED THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS HAD TO GET A RENTAL THAT I PAYED FOR WHILE I WAITED FOR MY TRUCK TO GET REPAIRED .

I WAS TRAVELLING AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE ENCOUNTERED AND UNEXPECTED ROAD CREW I APPLIED MY BRAKES FIRMLY AND SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND CHANGED LANES TO AVOID THE HAZARD.. ALMOST INSTANTLY I WAS CUTOFF AT THE SLOWER SPEED AND NEEDED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AGAIN, THIS TIME THE PEDAL WAS FIRM AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT REACT. I AVOIDED THE COLLISION BY SWERVING INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE PEDAL HAD NO AFFECT ON STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN THIS SITUATION.

AT 61K MILES, WHEN BACKING UP SLOWLY, GENERALLY INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKES FREEZE. ONLY AFTER PUMPING THEM OR PUTTING THE TRUCK IN PARK, DO THE BRAKES COMPRESS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEASE 4 TIMES IN THE PASSED 2 WEEKS.

BRAKES ARE FAILING AT LOW SPEEDS. FROM OTHER REPORTS IT SEEMS TO BE THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ONLY THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET STOPPED THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC RAMAPO VALLEY ROAD (AKA RT 202) IN OAKLAND NJ WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, I TRIED TWICE BEFORE STEPPING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AT THE SAME TIME I STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BUT MY VEHICLE HAS A DENT IN THE FRONT BUMPER FROM THE TOW HITCH ON THE CAR I HIT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED AT THE SCENE. THE POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND MOVED MY TRUCK CONFIRMING THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE. THE POLICE OFFICER MOVED MY TRUCK TO A DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE ROAD AND A MESSAGE REGARDING A BRAKE ASSIST FAILURE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. NO INDICATION WAS DISPLAYED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE OFFICER DECLARED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD IT TOWED AND IMPOUNDED. AFTER GETTING A VEHICLE RELEASE MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LITTLE FALLS NJ WHERE THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR CONFIRMED THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED. I WAS CONTACTED BY GM AND GAVE THEM INFORMATION REGARDING THE ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME GM INVESTIGATORS WERE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT THE FAILURE. I FOUND A GM SERVICE BULLETIN DATED JUNE 2016, BULLETIN NUMBER PIT5361B DESCRIBING THIS FAILURE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET GM TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES SINCE THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 5 YEAR OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100000 MILE ON IT, IT HAS ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. THIS PART IS NOT A PART THAT IS EXPECTED TO WEAR OF INSPECTED

14192A TRANSFER CASE SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED, MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND WOULD NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY. AFTER USING A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT EXCEEDED THE DISTANCE AT WHICH I WAS TRYING TO STOP WITHIN. THANKFULLY A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR AND THERE WAS NO HARM TO ANYONE.

BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES AFTER A SERIES OF BRAKE APPLICATIONS AT LOW SPEED. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY FIRM AND PULSATES, STOPPING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. PEDAL FEEL RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE BUT THE ISSUE RETURNS AFTER A SERIES OF BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATIONS IN A SHORT TIME SPAN. FIRST NOTICED IN A PARKING LOT AS PULLING INTO A SPACE, BUT PROBLEM REPEATED ON CITY STREETS AS PULLING UP TO STOP LIGHTS OR IN CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

MY TRUCK HAS LOST POWER 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AS A RESULT, BUT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. FIRST OCCURRENCE, I WAS IN MOTION BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. SECOND OCCURRENCE, I WAS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND TURNING RIGHT WHEN I LOST ALL POWER AND DRIFTED INTO TRAFFIC. THIRD OCCURRENCE, I WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND ENDED UP ON MY NEIGHBORS FRONT LAWN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THEY MADE 3 ATTEMPTS AT FIXING, I PAID EACH TIME, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A SUDDEN CHIME SOUNDED. NEXT, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED WITH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND AN UNKNOWN DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING POWER ASSIST IS LOST AND BRAKING IS DIFFICULT. VEHICLE TAKES LONGER TO STOP.

TAKATA RECALL - 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO NOW, I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! WHEN TURNING ON A LOW SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND SEEMS TO BOUNCE BACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS. IT USE TO HAPPEN MAYBE 1-2 TIMES EVERY MONTH WHILE PARKING IN MY DRIVE WAY. USE TO BE ALWAYS IN MY DRIVEWAY ONLY. AND NOW THAT THANKSGIVING PASSED AND I WAS DOING SOME SHOPPING WITH MY KIDS; FROM 11/22/18-NOW 11/25/18, IT HAS LOCKED ON ME ABOUT 15 TIMES! ONCE TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN LIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET, IT LOCKED AND WOULDN'T TURN WAS GOING STRAIGHT WITH MY KIDS INSIDE AND MY WIFE DRIVING! ANOTHER TIME PARKING AT STORE PARKING LOTS WITH CARS IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME! AND JUST NOW 7:26 P.M. IT LOCKED 5 TIMES WHILE PARKING! I TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BACK IN AUGUST I BELIEVE AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS NOTHING IS WRONG. I CAN NOT KEEP DRIVING THIS OR HAVING MY WIFE DRIVE MY KIDS AND RISK LOOSING THEM! YOU NEED TO FIX THIS NOW! PLEASE! I BELIEVE THERE IS A RECALL GOING ARROUND; I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER IS 17V414000 A LOT OF WHAT IT SAYS SOUNDS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO MY TRUCK.

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT BECOME VERY STIFF. IN THE DIC, 'SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST ' APEARS. HARD TO STOP WHEN MOVING AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING SLOW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE.

ANY TIME, WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE BRAKES TURN ROCK HARD WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO, THE BRAKES WOULD ONLY TURN HARD WHEN I WAS GOING 20MPH OR SLOWER. NOW IT'S EVERYTIME I TRY TO BRAKE WHILE DRIVING. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM STATIONARY. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD IN ME TO STOP MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE BRAKES. MY HUSBAND, WHO IS A MECHANIC, LOOKED AT MY BRAKE PADS AND THEY ARE FINE. I KEEP HAVING THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST BADGE POP UP ON MY DASH WHEN I HAVE TROUBLE BRAKING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS TO FIX THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER, OR WHATEVER MAYBE CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS NOW EVERYTIME I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROAD, MY DRIVEWAY, OR TURNING. I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING MY TRUCK UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED, DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. I HAVE HORSES SO I USE MY TRUCK ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR NEEDS. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

DROVE 35 MILES. STOPPED OK. BACKED UP ABOUT 5 MPH. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ONLY PUSH DOWN ABOUT ONE QUARTER INCH WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. PRESSED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND GOT SLIGHT BRAKING. WE HAD IT REPAIRED AT A SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A VACUUM PUMP AND A SENSOR THAT HAD GONE BAD.

I STARTED MY TRUCK AND WHILE IN A PARKED POSITION THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS A MESSAGE REGARDING POWER-STEERING HAS BEEN REDUCED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CAUTION. I GOOGLED IT AND NOTICE THAT MY PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND RE-CALLED. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID SINCE MY VIN # HAS NO OPEN RECALLS, THEY COULDN'T ASSIST AND THAT I HAVE THE OPTION TO TAKE IT TO A SERVICE SHOP AND PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT WITH ALL THE INFORMATION ONLINE I COULDN'T GET ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER.

DRIVING FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA ON AUGUST 4, 2018. THE LAST 200-300 MILES THE BRAKES WORKED FINE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. WHEN I WOULD GET IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC - STOP AT A LIGHT, GOING THROUGH A DRIVE-THRU, GAS STATION STOP, ETC. - THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BE VERY HARD TO PUSH, HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO STOP VEHICLE AND IT WOULD STILL SLIGHTLY ROLL. HAD TO CONTACT CHEVY DEALER IN KISSIMEE, FLORIDA TO CHECK OUT PROBLEM AND THEY DIAGNOSED BRAKE BOOSTER AND VACUUM PUMP FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

COMPLETE A/C FAILURE IN 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LTZ Z71 WHILE ON VACATION. STOPPED TO GET GAS AND A/C WOULD NOT COOL UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. 475 MILES LATER AT 95 DEGREES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. DEFECTIVE CONDENSER HAD TO BE REPLACED, (AT MY EXPENSE), WITH NEW "REDESIGNED" GM PART AT A COST OF $1,309.94. FOUND NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THROUGH MY DEALER AND THE INTERNET. GM HAS OFFERED NO RELIEF FOR THIS DEFECT. IN FACT THEY HAVE TRIED TO MISLEAD ME BY STATING THAT THE DEALER USED A REFURBISHED PART WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN MAKING A SUDDEN, MOMENTARY GRINDING OR ZIPPER SOUND, USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I ACCELERATE HARD. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME, ONLY SPORADICALLY BUT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND AT LOWER RATES OF SPEED NOW. WHEN IT BEGAN, I WAS USUALLY DOING AROUND 70 MPH, BUT HAS STARTED TO DO IT AROUND 55 MPH AND THEN TODAY IT DID IT AT AROUND 40 MPH. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TWICE, BUT THEY COULDN'T WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE TRUCK NEVER MADE THE NOISE WHILE THE MECHANIC WAS WITH ME.

AIR BAG ERROR LIGHTS ERROR

AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS, THE POWER BRAKES BECOME INOPERATIVE WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO. I WAS PUZZLED. IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL NOW. IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS LESS THAN 36000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FRAME. METAL IS FLAKING OFF THE FLAME IN LARGE PIECES AND SUPPORT ELEMENTS HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE LOOKS BRAND NEW. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT SINCE NONE OF THE CORROSION OR RUST WAS NOT "THROUGH" MEANING THEY COULD STICK THEIR FINGER THROUGH A HOLE, IT WAS NOT COVERED. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE FRAME AT MY COST. THIS IS SEVERE RUST. IT IS NOT SIMPLE SURFACE RUST EXPECTED ON VEHICLE. IT IS FLAKING OFF AND WOULD TAKE SIGNIFICANT LABOR TO GRIND/BRUSH AND REPAIR. THE FRAME AS IT IS NOW IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CRINGE EVERY TIME I HIT A POTHOLE. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OCCUPANTS AND FELLOW DRIVERS IF THE FRAME WERE TO COLLAPSE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO POOR CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERE RUST. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS ASKING HOW FLAKING RUST ON THE MAIN FRAME AND SUPPORT MEMBERS WAS NOT AN ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "MINOR" RUST.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FLICKERING. WHEN STEERING, HEADLIGHTS DIM. WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS DIM. POWER STEERING RANDOMLY CUTS OUT IN PARKING LOTS. TRAILER BRAKE SERVICE WARNING CAME UP ON INSTRUMENT SCREEN. I READ GROUND G218 IS CAUSING A SHORT AND I REMOVED THE INSULATION UNDER THE NUT THAT COULD CAUSE HIGH RESISTANCE AND IT FIXED EVERYTHING FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS BUT THE LIGHTS AND STEERING PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. DEALER THOUGHT MAYBE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM BUT I DID NOT HAVE THEM REPLACE, INSTEAD FOUND G218 ISSUES ONLINE. NO OPEN RECALLS. SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS. NO CODES. NO ISSUE WITH BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR.

AT START UP THE RADIO AND INFO SCREEN ON DASH BETWEEN THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER WAS RESET AS IF THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED. THE POWER STEERING DIED OUT LATER ON A TURN ONTO MY BLOCK AND WAS ON AND OFF AS IT JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS WHILE PARALLEL PARKING. START UP THE NEXT DAY AND THE RESET WAS BACK WITH THE WHEEL FREE TO TURN FOR NOW. I HAVEN'T MOVED THE TRUCK FOR FEAR OF THE STEERING GOING OUT AGAIN. TRUCK HAS 44,450 MILES.

I BOUGHT MY 2014 SILVERADO NEW . AFTER 10,000 MILES I COULD HEAR SOMETHING IN THE DRIVETRAIN BETWEEN 2ND AND 3 RD GEAR MAKE A MOANING SOUND . BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING . THIS WENT ON UNTIL 141,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT . HAD IT REBUILT FOR $ 3,700.00 AND WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSED THE PROBLEM . NOW I'M AT 181,000 AND WE ARE HOPING IT'S THE TCM INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION BUT IF NOT WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS WILL COST . I THINK GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTERS AS I HAVE READ MORE CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOME KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT . I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT GM VEHICLES BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TWICE .

RECALL # 17276 FOR LOW VOLTAGE STEERING. OUR VEHICLE HAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED QUICKLY, THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY STIFF, THE HEADLIGHTS DIM, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING WHEN MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL # 17276 FOR LOW VOLTAGE STEERING. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES NOW FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS OPENED A CASE WITH GM, AND GM HAS RECOMMENDED MANY THINGS, ALL AT MY COST THAT HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT GM IS USING ME AS A CRASH TEST DUMMY. I SENT AN E MAIL REQUEST TO GM DOCUMENTING THIS ISSUE. GM REPLIED THAT THEY WILL ONLY WORK BY TELEPHONE THEY ASK TO RECORD THE CALL BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE CUSTOMER TO DO THE SAME. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO READ OR REPLY TO MY DOCUMENTED REQUEST FOR HELP. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY DETAILS OR QUESTIONS, I DESPERATELY NEED HELP ON THIS. THANK YOU, *TR

VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHEN TURNING, RADIO SCREEN FLASHES ON/OFF, STABILITRAK ERROR DISPLAYS ON SCREEN, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS SPECIFIC VIN# WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE LAST YEAR AND WAS REPAIRED BUT IS STILL FUNCTIONING AS PER MANUFACTURER AGREEMENT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD AS IS. TOOK IT BACK TO AUTONATION GULF FWY TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE NEG BATT TERMINAL, I GOT THAT FIXED STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. GM NOR CHEVY WANT TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY . I DON'T SEE PAYING FOR ALL THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET IF I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AUG 28, 2018 AND WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT IT HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED. ALSO, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO A PARKING LOT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4792950260. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. *DT*JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ USED AT A DEALERSHIP HERE IN ATLANTA, GA. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE AND I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN SLOWLY TURNING LEFT THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF, AND THEN CAUSED THE TRUCK TO STALL IN INCOMING TRAFFIC. AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN CHAMBLEE, GA. THEY RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN THESE TRUCKS FOR THIS ALREADY AND SAID THAT THEY HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN THREE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY THIS MORNING AT 6:30AM ON 10/30/18. I HAVE DROPPED OFF MY TRUCK AGAIN AT THE SAME DEALER, BUT I FEAR THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME, "UNABLE TO RE-CREATE" RESULT AS LAST TIME. ON THE RECALL WEBSITES I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT SEEMS THE RECALL NUMBER IS: 17V414000. PLEASE ADVISE, AS I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY AND WOULD FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH HIM INSIDE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

BOUGHT MY 2014 SILVERADO AND AROUND 20,000 MILES IT SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKES GOT HARD AND DIDN'T WANTED TO STOP. TURNED IT OFF AND AFTER A LITTLE BIT TURN IT ON AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING GOOD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT WORKET GOOD FOR A LONG TIME AND DID IT AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME AT THE DEALER THAT WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED (HAD OVER 36K) SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM NEITHER. LAST WEEK DID IT AGAIN NOW IT HAS 60K MILES READING HERE AND THERE NOTICE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF TRUCKS AROUND THE SAME YEAR AND ALL POINT TO THE VACUUM PUMP. IT DOES THIS WHEN IS SLOW RUNNING AND AFTER A GOOD TIME RUNNING LIKE ON A TRIP OR SO. IM AFRAID OF INSTALLING THE PUMP AND STILL THE SAME. CAUSE ONLY DOES IT IN RARE OCASIONS
