2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

I'VE NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN BACKING UP AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THAT THE BRAKES ARE VERY WEAK. I'VE HAD TO APPLY VERY HARD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO STOP AND VERY NEARLY HIT A LIGHT POLE ONCE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN HUMID OR RAINY WEATHER. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED, PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED OUT FINE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH ANOTHER SILVERADO OWNER WHO NOTICED THE SAME ISSUE.

TWO TIMES TONIGHT WITH TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. CURRENT GENERATION CHEVY SILVERADO "LOW" BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREME DANGER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN BEING APPROACHED BY CURRENT (2014 & NEWER) SILVERADOS THE ONCOMING DRIVERS "DIMMED" THEIR LIGHTS RESULTING IN NO CHANGE TO THE BLINDING LIGHT APPROACHING ME. THE ONLY WAY I COULD TELL THAT THE DRIVERS "DIMMED" THEIR LIGHTS WAS THE CHANGE FROM 4 ONCOMING LIGHTS TO 2 ONCOMING LIGHTS, THE BLINDING INTENSITY REMAINED THE SAME. THIS MARKS THE UMPTEEN-THOUSANDTH TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY BLINDED BY CURRENT GENERATION SILVERADO "LOW" BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I MIGHT AS WELL DRIVE WITH MY EYES CLOSED BECAUSE I AM TOTALLY BLIND AFTER MEETING AN ONCOMING CURRENT GENERATION SILVERADO.

MY BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, AND WHEN I WOULD BE GOING AT A LOW SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULD GET VERY HARD AND STIFF. I WOULD HAVE TO APPLY ALL POSSIBLE WEIGHT I CAN IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT A VACUUM PUMP IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE SEEING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT SOMEBODY, OR BEEN UNABLE TO STOP WHEN BACKING INTO MY GARAGE. IF IT HAD BEEN MY WIFE DRIVING, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED WITH HOW HARD I WAS HAVING TO PRESS THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT IN MOTION, AND ALSO WHILE BACKING INTO MY GARAGE

I PURCHASE A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2017 FOR MY SON TO GO TO COLLEGE. THE TRUCK WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT WAS A "CERTIFIED USED VECHICLE". THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED AN ADDITIONAL 20,000 MILE OVER OEM WARRANTY WITH THE CERTIFIED STATUS. WE TOOK THE TRUCK HOME AND MY SON STARTED DRIVING THE TRUCK. ROUGHLY A MONTH LATER, WE BOTH NOTICE THE CLEAR COAT ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BEGAN TO PEEL IN A SMALL SPOT. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT IT'S 1ST SERVICE INTERVAL AND ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE SPOT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS WAS A VERY UNUSUAL SITUATION, AND UNFORTUNATELY SINCE THE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER AN ANOTHER MONTH HAD PASSED, WE NOTICED THE SPOT ON THE DOOR HAD GROWN LARGER, AND THERE WERE ADDITIONAL SPOTS POPPING UP ON VARIOUS SPOTS ON THE TRUCK. I PERSONALLY TOOK THE VECHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ONCE AGAIN THEY INDICATED THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND CHEVROLET CURRENTLY WASN'T EXPERIENCING AND ISSUES WITH THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT PROCESS. MY SON WENT TO COLLEGE THIS FALL, AND UPON HIS RETURN FROM COLLEGE I SAW THE SPOTS OF CLEAR COAT CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN SIZE AND NUMBER. I RECENTLY WENT ONLINE AND CLICKED SEVERAL CHEVROLET FORUMS REGARDING THE FALLIBILITY OF THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. THIS WASN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS THE DEALER INDICATED BUT ONE TH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WOULD NOT PRODUCE COLD AIR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. WALT MASSEY CHEVROLET BUICK (1221 OLD 63 SOUTH, LUCEDALE, MS) DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDENSER HAD A CRACK AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

CHEVY IS AWARDED ABOUT ISSUE WITH THE AIRCONDITIOING, AND EXPECTS A COSTUMER TO PAY 500 TO GET IT FIX

AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT A HIGHWAY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AND THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FOR SEVERAL FEET AT SLOW SPEEDS, USUALLY UNDER 10 MPH. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT OR TRYING TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT. VERY UNSAFE. I BACKED INTO A CONCRETE WALL, LUCKILY DID NOT DAMAGE MY TRUCK. AFTER RESEARCH, MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED IT IS A DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. POOR PERFORMANCE BY GM, NOT TO MENTION THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE OR BACKING OF THE BAD PARTS THEY ARE PUTTING IN VEHICLES. BRAKES NOT WORKING IN A VEHICLE DUE TO A FAULTY PART IS UNSAFE. I'M HAVJNG TROUBLE HAVING GM EVEN ADMITTING IT'S A PROBLEM, AND I HOPE I DON'T INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR SOMEBODY ELSE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. 71000 MILES

THE TRUCK HAS 41000 MILES ON IT THERE IS A POP WHEN TURNING IT SEEMS TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE STEERING GEAR AS OTHER 2014 SILVERADOS BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS TRUCK. I FEAR THE TIEROD WILL BREAK AND CAUSE A CRASH

I'VE HAD TO GET A NEW PAINT JOB BECAUSE CLEAR COAT WAS COMING OFF. EGNITION SWITCH LOCKED UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. BUT TELL ME I CAN'T LET IT GET BELOW A HALF TANK OF GAS. BACK AXLES LOCK UP. AND SEAT BELTS LOCK WHEN GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR. AND THE AIR CONDENSER COUGHT ON FIRE. NOW WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT AROUND $6000 IN REPAIRS

I HAVE A 2014 SILVERADO WITH 60K MILES. ON SUNDAY, I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AFTER A SHORT ERRAND AND I LOST MOST OF THE BRAKING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE BACKWARDS AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE ISSUE WENT AWAY, MIND YOU DURING ALL OF THIS THE ABS LIGHT NEVER CAME ON EITHER. SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND A BULLETIN IN SOME RARE SITUATIONS, A CUSTOMER MAY COMMENT ON A HARD BRAKE PEDAL OR THAT INCREASED EFFORT IS NEEDED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHILE PERFORMING NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS, FLUID MAY BE FOUND IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR THE BOOSTER VACUUM LINE. IF ENGINE OIL IS FOUND, IT IS IMPORTANT THE FOLLOWING PARTS ARE REPLACED. IF NOT, THE CONDITION WILL RETURN. 1. VACUUM PUMP 2. VACUUM LINE BETWEEN THE BOOSTER AND THE PUMP 3. BRAKE BOOSTER 4. MASTER CYLINDER AFTER FINDING THIS AND READING ALL THE ACCOUNTS I FEEL LIKE GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A SPECIAL COVERAGE. THIS IS 100% SAFETY CONCERN

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN CONSUMING HIGH AMOUNTS OF OIL SINCE I NOTICED IT AT 79 K MILES CHEVROLET SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PISTON RINGS AND THAT GMC KNOWS ABOUT IT. VEHICLE CONSUMES OIL WHILE IN MOTION, HIGHWAY OR CITY BOTH.

RADIATOR LEAK WHICH LEAD TO NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER SEVERAL MEMOS FROM GM INDICATE RADIATORS CRACKING LEADING TO REPLACEMENT WHICH IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHEN PUMPING THE BREAK GOING IN REVERSE OR FORWARD SLOW I LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER AND PEDAL DOES NOT PUSH DOWN AT ALL.

VEHICLE VIBRATION AT 45 TO 65 MPG

I WAS PULLING INTO WORK AND BRAKE PEDDLE GOT STIFF THEN NO BRAKES I WAS BAKING INTO PARKING SPOT AND CONCRETE WALL STOPPED THE TRUCK I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID VACUUM PUMP AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS OUT FOR IT BUT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST $1000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT 68,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THIS HAPPENS AT 15 MPH IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME IT COULD HAVE KILLED THEM

THE AC WENT OUT ON MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THE ARE TRYING TO DETERMAIN WHICH VIN NUMBERS THEY SHOULD RECALL. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF AC GOING OUT IN THESE UNITS DO TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. NOT EVERYONE HAS $1200-$2000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE OUT OF POCKET FOR A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IN WHICH WE ALREADY PAID 40K FOR.

SLIDING, HEATED REAR WINDOW RIGHT PANEL SHATTERED WHILE IDLING TO WARM UP THE TRUCK. NOTHING HIT IT, I WAS NOT DRIVING, THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY, INSIDE GARAGE.

TRUCK DASH WILL FLICKER AND CAUSE STABLETRAK TO DISABLE, AND THEN STEERING ASSIST SAYS LIMITED. RADIO WILL CHANGE STATIONS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND IS UNABLE TO BE TURNED. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S WHEN WE'RE IN MOTION, HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO PARK, GOING ON A BACK ROAD, AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE IN PARK, WE CAN HEAR OCCASIONAL CLICKING COMING FROM INSIDE THE DASH. IT'S BEEN OCCURRING SINCE OCTOBER, BUT WAS REALLY BAD ON DECEMBER 22ND. HAVE A VIDEO OF ONE OF THE OCCURRENCES, BUT NOT SURE HOW TO UPLOAD IT.

WHEN IN REVERSE AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, BRAKE PEDAL IS SO HARD TO PUSH AND WILL NOT STOP VEHICLE. ONLY HAPPENS IN REVERSE. DOESN'T MATTER IF ON INCLINE OR ON FLAT. BRAKE PEDAL CANNOT BE PUSHED AND VEHICLE STILL MOVING IN REVERSE POSITION.

THE RELAY IN THE ENGINE SHUT THE POWER DOWN TO THE ENGINE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED IN -32 DEGREE WINDCHILL, WHICH STRANDED ME FOR AN HOUR. IN TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND DOING RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS AS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER I HAD STOPPED AND STARTED AFTER MANY TRIES. THE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS IS BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAVE A PROBLEM IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND IT TURN INTO A TRAGEDY FOR A FAMILY.

AT 41,000 MILES THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR AND HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE ON AND I HIT THE BRAKES OR TURN SIGNALS THE DOME LIGHT FLASHES.

AT LOW SPEEDS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD WITH MAYBE A 1/4" OF TRAVEL. THE TRUCK BARELY STOPPED HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE TO ASSIST THE VEHICAL TO STOP. MADE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. TURNED THE VEHICAL OFF. GOT OUT CHECKED THE BRAKES VISUALLY. EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. I STARTED THE VEHICAL UP AND WITH CAUTION TRIED MOVING THE VEHICAL AND EVERY THING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THREE WEEKS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING PARKING ALONG THE CURB IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.

NOTICED COOLANT STEAM WEEPING OUT OF THE FRONT GRILL. ORIGIN OF LEAK IS RADIATOR. THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE FROM GM FOR THIS ISSUE, 15829. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER AS WELL AS GM THAT MY VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. MY TRUCK YEAR/MAKE/MODEL IS CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN AS A VIABLE CANDIDATE FOR THIS ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND TURNING AND SAYS STEERING LOSS PLEASE DRIVE SAFE AND IT'S DANGEROUS I COULD CRASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT 15-20 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO THE TRAFFIC. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RE STARTED AND PUT IN INTO REVERSE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACT LOCATED AT ( DEACON JONES LOCATED: 1615 SUNSET AVE, CLINTON, NC 28328) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT AN UNKNOWN PART FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (BELL AND BELL BUICK GMC TRUCKS, 2491 HWY 9 E, LITTLE RIVER, SC 29566, (888) 538-9417) WHO PROVIDED THE MANUFACTURER REMEDY FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION CONCERNING THE EPS SOFTWARE UPDATE (REPROGRAMMING). THE DEALER LATER STATED THAT THE EPS MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN INDICATING THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A STEERING RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V719000 (STEERING), BUT THEY HAD NOT ADDRESSED THE RECALL FOR THE 2014 MODELS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES: SURGES FORWARD AND SHIFTING TOO SOON LOUD CLUNKS WHEN IT SHIFTS UP AND DOWN LOWER GEARS VIBRATION WHEN COASTING TO A STOP DIFFICULTY/HESITATION ON SHIFTING PROPERLY ON ACCELERATION LOUD CLUNKING AT DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR AND VISE VERSA AND ALSO A CLUNK SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A COMPLETE STOP. THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO HARD THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE IS TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET CLAIMING THAT A PLATE ON THE 2ND GEAR HAS TO MUCH OF A GAP. IT'S A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, GM SERVICE BULLETIN: #PIP5175B AND REFERS TO MEXICAN SOURCED TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE BUILT WITH THE STATOR SUPPORT BOLTS NOT BEING PROPERLY TORQUED, LEADING TO VARIOUS CONCERNS, THE FIRST OF WHICH TO SHOW UP IS USUALLY THE 1-2 SHIFT FLARE/SLIP. THE KICK IS HARD ENOUGH WHEN IT SHIFTS THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR GETTING REAR ENDED FROM 3RD TO 2ND. ALSO YOU THINK YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL DROP OUT IT GOES INTO GEAR SO HARD.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY ON A CITY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE LEFT OUT OF MY HAND, AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WENT DEAD (LOST ALL POWER, LIGHTS, ETC.). BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN FULLY INTO MY DRIVEWAY. AS A RESULT, THE BED OF THE TRUCK WAS STICKING OUT INTO A MAJOR ROAD AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY CARS COMING AROUND THE CURVE BY MY DRIVEWAY. IT WAS DARK AND RAINY. I CALLED SOMEONE FOR HELP AND WE PUSHED THE TRUCK OUT OF THE ROADWAY AS BEST AS POSSIBLE, CONSIDERING THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL LOCKED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. ALL POWER WAS GONE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD THINK TO MOVE THE TRUCK WAS TO JUMP START IT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER JUMPSTARTING THE TRUCK, THE DASH INFO SYSTEM DISPLAYED, "ACTION REQUIRED: OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW." THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED AFTER CHEVY DEALERSHIP PERFORMED RECALL 17276 "TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING (EPS) SERVICE (DURING LOW SPEED STEERING MANEUVERS). THERE IS A TSB OUT ALLUDING TO THIS ISSUE: #PIT5405C: STEERING JERKS OR KICKS BACK / REDUCED POWER STEERING ASSIST / ENGINE STALL, ETC. (JAN 27, 2017) . WHY IS THERE NO RECALL??? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY!

THE MYLINK AND RADIO KEEPS GOING OUT EEAN AFTER BEING REPLACED. THE DASHBOARD FUNCIONS ACT ERRATICALLY WITH BLINKING AND THEN RESETS THE STATISTICS. WHEN THE HORN IS KONKED THE MYLINK AND RADIO GO DEAD. THE DANGEROUS PART ID THE DASH FUNCTIONS ACTING ERRATICALLY. HOPE IT DOES NOT STALL ON MY ON THE HIGHWAY INFRONT OF A SEMIT TRUCK OR SOMETHING.

POWER STEERING FAILS DURING A TURN ALONG WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AND ALL ELECTRICAL POWER BEING SHUT DOWN. STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. A GOOGLE SEARCH YIELDS MANY, MANY SIMILAR REPORTS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? IT IS DEC 2017 AND MANY OF THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES ARE STILL NOT FIXED BY GM.

NOTICED AN ISSUE AT ABOUT 70000 MILES WHERE TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER 10 MPH THERE IS A SOUND CLUNK IN THE STEERING. IT IS EASILY REPUTABLE AND HAPPENS OFTEN REGARDLESS OF DIRECTION, REVERSE OR FORWARD DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A FAILURE OF THE STEERING RACK, AND IT NEEDS REPLACED. $1800 FOR THE PART AND $3 HOURS OF INSTALL BRINGS THE REPAIR TO $2400 FOR A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK. I NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION. DEALER STATES THAT THE RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRIVING IT UNTIL REPAIRED. I ASKED WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF IT FAILED COMPLETELY AND IF THIS WAS RELATED TO ANY OTHER RECALLS. THEY SAID COMPLETE STEERING LOSS AND THEY WOULD NOT SPECULATE ON RECALLS ASSOCIATED TO THIS FAILURE

AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE EXPRESSWAY WAY THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME STEARING WHEEL GOT HARD. IN OTHER ACCASIONS WHEN I WAS TURNING IN AN BUSY INTERSECTION TRUCK TURNED OFF COMPLETY AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT A MINUTE TO BE ABLE TO TURN VEHICLE BACK ON TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND TO CHECK BATTERY AND ALTENATOR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE IT HAS DONE IT TO ME LIKE 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2WEEKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE CONTACT STRUCK A CURB. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXERT FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILLIAM L MORRIS CHEVROLET (1024 W VENTURA ST, FILLMORE, CA 93015) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO WEEKS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,622.

AC UNIT HAS GONE OUT TWICE NOW WITHIN 70K MILES AND I DRIVE A LOT IN TEXAS HEAT DRESSED PROFESSIONALLY AND HAVE 3 CHILDREN. I HAVE OWNED SILVERADOS SINCE I WAS 18 AND AM NOW 46 AND HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD AN AC PROBLEM. AFTER READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS I OVER LAST FEW YEARS I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AS A RECALL ISSUE ALREADY

PAINT IS PEELING REALLY EASY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSANGER SIDE AND A LITTLE BIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. PAINT PEELS REALLY EASY. FOR ONLY 34,000 MILES THIS IS NOT NORMAL. DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO

FAILED REAR SEAT LATCH - SEAT STICKS IN UPWARD POSITION; SAFE VEHICLE OCCUPANCY NOT POSSIBLE.

MY BRAKE PEDAL JUST GOT HARD. IT TOOK WAS ALL I COULD DO TO STOP MY TRUCK,THANK GOODNESS I WAS IN A 35 MPH ZONE AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS ON VAC AND WENT TO LOCAL DEALER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. MY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED & IT COST ME $504.00 TO REPAIR

WHEN APPLYING BRAKE WITH MOTOR AT IDLE OR CLOSE TO IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GET HARD. I CHECKED VACUUM FROM THE SEPARATE VACUUM PUMP AND ONLY HAD 9 IN HG. IT WILL BUILD AND STORE SOME VACUUM BUT WILL ALSO FADE AS IT IDLES. I REPLACED THE PUMP AND I NOW HAVE 26 IN HG AND WHEN PARKING OR DOING SHORT MANEUVERS ALL IS GOOD. I HAVE REPLACED THE PUMP AT A PRICE OF $135 AND DID THE WORK MYSELF.

THE RADIO RANDOMLY CHANGES STATIONS ON ITS OWN AND THE TOUCH SCREEN DOESNOT WORK AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AND CANNOT BE STOPPED; WHEN THE WINDOW SWITCH IS DEPRESSED UP OR DOWN, THE WINDOW WILL MAKE ONE COMPLETE CYCLE OF OPENING AND CLOSING BEFORE STOPPING IN THE DIRECTED POSITION. BOTH THESE ACTIONS OCCUR RANDOMLY AND UNSUSPECTINGLY.

WHEN TURNING THERE IS A LOUD POPPING NOISE THIN THE STEERING. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER IT WAS $1900 TO FIX AND CHEVY WOULD NOT HELP ME. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

THE TIRES TO MY 2014 SILVERADO WAS ALWAYS SLIPPING ON HILLS SO I FINALLY WENT TO THE TIRE STORE AND WAS TOLD MY BELTS WEAR COMING OFF. METAL EVERYWHERE, I HAVE 52,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TIRES ARE GONE ALREADY, THEY HAD TO BE VERY CHEAP TIRES.

I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ROCK HARD. THE TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO STOP AND TOOK A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FORCE ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP.

MANY TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD WHEN DEPRESSED AND STOPPING IS VERY SLOW. MOST TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED WHEN APPROACHING STOP LIGHTS OR PARKING. ONE TIME WAS AT OVER 65MPH. HAVE BEEN TO 2 DEALERS AND NEITHER CAN GET THE ISSUE TO REPEAT OR GET A CODE TO DIAGNOSE. PROBLEM HAPPENED FIRST AT 40K MILES AND CONTINUES NOW AT 60K MILES.

I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, #11044339, BUT FORGOT TO ADD SOMETHING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEPT. 22,2017 FOR THE POWER STEERING RECALL ,#17276. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE PROBLEM , BUT THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE SOME GOOD INFORMATION TO DIVULGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF STEERING. ONCE THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE POWER STEERING WOULD QUICKLY RETURN TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHEVROLET IN BRAINTREE MA. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V246000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,600.

ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING PAINT PEELING OFF ON THE LOWER HALF OF THE DOORS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF ALL DOORS AND ALSO ON THE SIDES OF THE BOX. MY TRUCK IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 59,000 MILES NOW. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID I SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET DIRECTLY. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER CHEVROLET TRUCKS THE SAME YEAR AND EVEN NEWER TRUCKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MUD FLAPS INSTALLED SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW( THE DEALER BLAMED IT ON ROCK CHIPS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK). I HAD TO START COMPLAINING SOMEWHERE RIGHT!!

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY A STABILITRACK WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH STATING IT MIGHT AFFECT POWER STEERING ASSIST. THIS CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES. THEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND SIGNALING A LANE CHANGE THE CRUISE WAS CANCELLED. THIS ALSO OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. IT ALSO APPEARED THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED ,BUT I WASN'T SURE BECAUSE OF THE SUNLIGHT . LATER THAT EVENING I WAS MAKING A TURN ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS BEFORE EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. AFTER THAT EPISODE IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. AFTER READING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE CRUISE WAS CANCELLED WHEN SIGNALING THE LANE CHANGE, THAT IF I PUSHED UP OR DOWN ON THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER AT THE END OF THE LEVER IT WOULD CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. I TRIED PUSHING DOWN ON THE LEVER CLOSER TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT DIDN'T CANCEL OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE OR IT JUST WASN'T MALFUNCTIONING AT THE TIME.

"TAKATA RECALL" GETTING A SHIMMY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RECENTLY ALIGNED AND ALL TIRES BALANCED. STILL HAVING ISSUES THAT NOBODY KNOWS WHY.
