2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

WHEN TURNING MY TRUCK LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A CLUNKING/POPPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (MAYBE FROM THE FRONT END). CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PORTLAND,TX CONFIRMED THE NOISE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE NOISE. SO THE SERVICE MANAGER STOPPED WORK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE CHASING A "GHOST". SO I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND HE DID NOTHING TO HELP ME AND ADVICE ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING SO I AM NOT BUYING ANOTHER CHEVY IN MY LIFE, THANKS GM FOR PRODUCING ANOTHER SCREWED UP VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SEAT BEGAN TO SHIFT AND COME OUT OF ALIGNMENT INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT CUSHION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SHIM KIT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. SHORTLY AFTER HAVING THE REPAIRS PERFORMED, THE SEAT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AGAIN, BUT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 12/18/15*LJ, UPDATED 12, UPDATED 4/4/18 *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. UPON TRAVELING A LOW RATE OF SPEED OR UNDER 40 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE HESITATED NUMEROUS TIMES AND STALLED. THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SHORT, WHICH CAUSED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES AND LIGHTS TO FLICKER. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND BACK ON RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED FIXES BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS TO THIS DAY.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BRAND NEW IN MAY OF 2014. THE FIRST MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS JUNE 19 2014. THE STEERING WHEEL, IGNITION, AND CYLINDER REMAINED LOCKED AND I WAS RESTRAINED FROM STARTING VEHICLE I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IN WHICH THEY WERE NO ASSISTANCE.I WAS ABLE TO START CAR AFTER APROX 30MIN. THE SECOND MALFUNCTION WAS IN MARCH 2015. MY TRUCK TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, SPEED AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. ONSTAR AND HIGHWAY PATROL WERE CONTACTED AND HIGHWAY PATROL ASSISTED IN PUSHING VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE THIRD INCIDENT WAS JULY 30. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK INTO PARADISE CHEVROLET FOR AN OIL CHANGE. A GAS ATTENDEE NOTICED I WAS LEAKING OIL. THE OIL CAP HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED CAUSING OIL LEAKAGE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS AUGUST 11,2015. MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ONCE AGAIN WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY HUSBAND AND FIVE MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN IT, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING,SPEED AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART APROX.20MIN AFTER.HOWEVER, WHEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK MADE A NOTICEABLY SHAKEY MOTION. BOTH EVENTS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING WERE FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER PARADISE CHEVROLET OF VENTURA CA "UPGRADED SOFTWARE", WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. BOTH TIMES I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I WAS INFORMED AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY HAD UPGRADED SOFTWARE/ PREFORMED A "RECALL".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DIAMOND C 12CHS (NA) TRAILER EQUIPPED WITH VAIL SPORT ST LH99 TIRES, SIZE: ST205/75D15. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FRACTURE ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS COMING BACK FROM VEGAS, GOING UP A HILL THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF TRAFFIC I WAS PROBABLY DOING 35 TO 45 MPH AND SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD THUD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU GET REAR ENDED AND IT DID AGAIN A FEW TIMES AFTER THAT, WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY SAY THAT IT WAS NEW VEHICLE WITH A ALL NEW DRIVETRAIN AND IT HAD A 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS NORMAL.

THE SEAT OF MY TRUCK IS LOOSE. THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY THE DEALERS HAVE IN THEIR SYSTEM WHICH IS #PIT5223: FRONT DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEAT COVER / CUSHION LOOSE. ..... DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 3 TIMES FOLLOWING GUIDLINES FROM GM BUT IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. A FRIEND OF MINE PURCHASED A 2015 GMC SIERRA (WHICH IS THE SAME TRUCK) AND HE IS HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH 2000 MILES ON IT..... HE TO JUST PICKED HIS TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER AND ON THE WAY HOME THE SEAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THERE IS AN ONLINE FORUM THAT HAS MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING HERE HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/155228-SEAT-CLICKCLUNK-NOISE-UPDATE/ ---- OVERALL IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND STILL IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX. I STOPPED AT ANOTHER DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE ACTION..... ITS VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS TO BE SITTING IN A SEAT ROCKING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOUR MAKING A RIGHT HAND OR LEFT HAND TURN.... ITS LIKE YOUR SITTING 'UNSETTLED'.... SOMEONE IS GOING TO WIND UP LOSING THEIR FOOTING WHILE BRAKING OR MAKING A TURN AND KILL SOMEONE.

VEHICLE SHAKES AT 62 MPH VERY BAD

FRAME RUST HAS DEVELOPED ON RAILS UNDER BED. THE PROTECTIVE WAX COATING IS FALLING OFF, ONE SECTION IS ABOUT THREE INCHES. RUST HAS DEVELOPED IN THE TUBES OF THE FRAME AND ON AREAS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND ABOUT 12,000 MILES. THE RUST HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING, SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO START A DECENT IN THE ROAD, ONCE VEHICLE REACHED LEVEL GROUND, I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND VEHICLE WOULD ONLY REV UP, WOULD NOT GOT FORWARD, WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS CLOSE TO 5 MPH, THEN VEHICLE STARTED MOVING AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUSHED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE. TRIED TO RECORD THE OCCURRENCE, BUT WITH THE CONSTANT TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKES IT HARD TO RECORD FOR PROOF.

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ON INTERSTATE I NOTICE A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT STEERING AND WHEELS ONCE THE TRUCK GOES OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS DOING IT JUST AFTER 1000 MILES.. WHEN THE ROTATED TIRES WHEN TRUCK WAS SERVICED . THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE

SINCE ABOUT 15000-18000 MILES THIS TRUCK VIBRATES AT MOST SPEEDS, MOST NOTICEABLE AT 65 MPH AND OVER. IT IS AT THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME ALL THEY DID WAS BALANCE THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. THE DEALER IS STILL SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS ON THIS. THE LOANER 2015 I HAVE IS WORSE AND VIBRATES AT ALL SPEEDS.....

TODAY, AT 1:00 PM , A SUNNY DAY @ 80 DEGREES, I ENTERED THE TRUCK AND SHUT THE DOOR. AS I DID SO, THE REAR DOOR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER BULGING OUTWARD AS WITNESSED BY MY NEIGHBOR. THE MINUTE I SHUT THE DOOR THE WINDOW BULGED OUTWARD AND SHATTERED! I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF IT WAS COVERED, AS IT ONLY HAD A THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK SO I GUESS NOT. COST OF A NEW WINDOW IS 82 BUCKS ON EBAY! ALL THE WARRANTIES I BOUGHT WITH THE CAR DO NOT COVER THE SIDE OR BACK WINDOWS. I WONDER IF THEY SHOULD COVER THIS ISSUE, BUT I HIGHLY SUGGEST ALL NEW TRUCK OWNERS OF CHEVY SILVERADOS KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN A CRACK AFTER BUYING A VISOR. NOTE: I JUST GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER AND THEY WANT THE WINDOW PEEVES FOR AN INVESTIGATION. I SWEPT THEM UP AND PUT THEM IN THE TRASH! OOPS! I WILL BRING THEM UP ANYWAY AND TAKE IT FROM THERE. *TR

MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER HIT A DEER ON THE RIGHT FRONT BUMPER OF HIS 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ GOING 55 MPH ON OCTOBER 30, 2014. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVERS AIR BAG. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IN ADDITION TO THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING, THERE WAS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER. MY FATHER TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO JAMES WOOD MOTORS DECATUR, 2111 S HWY 287, DECATUR, TX 76234, TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THEY TALKED HIM INTO TRADING HIS 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ WRECKED VEHICLE FOR A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ. [XXX] TOLD MY FATHER THAT THEY WOULD BE SALVAGING THE VEHICLE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THEY ENCOURAGED HIM TO TRADE IN HIS WRECKED VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TRADE IN VALUE WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE CRASH. KEEP IN MIND THAT MY FATHER HAD A LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM WITH TRADING IN VEHICLES FOR NEWER ONES AND THEY KNEW THAT MY FATHER WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH THE TRADE-IN VALUE OF HIS VEHICLE. THEY NEVER DISCUSSED WITH MY FATHER THE FACT THAT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TODAY, I RAN A CAR FAX CHECK ON MY FATHER'S CRASHED VEHICLE AND THE REPORT SHOWS: NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED, NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE REPORTED, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT REPORTED. ALSO, THE CAR FAX REPORT SHOWS A NEW OWNER FROM GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS, THAT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 3-36-2015. I THINK IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT JAMES WOOD MOTORS DECATUR TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY FATHER BECAUSE OF HIS AGE, ENCOURAGED HIM TO TRADE IN HIS WRECKED VEHICLE AND THEN

SINCE DAY ONE I NOTICED THAT THE VOICE COMMANDS WERE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING PROPER VOICE COMMANDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2/20/14 THEY SAID IT WAS MY PHONE.IT TAKES ME A GOOD SOLID 3-5 MINUTES TO GET A PHONE CALL OUT BECAUSE OF THE VOICE RECOGNITION DOESN'T WORK . I WOULD ALSO NOTICE THAT ON PANDORA IT WOULD SAY ACQUIRING NET WORK SERVICE. THEN FROM THAT, ONTO IT SAYING NETWORK ERROR.THAT HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT EVERY TIME I TRY TO USE IT I HAVE TO TURN BLUE TOOTH OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN CONNECT IT ALL OVER AGAIN. SOMETIMES I CAN HEAR PEOPLE AND THEY CANT HERE ME. ON 4/08/14 AGAIN I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER FOR THE BLUETOOTH PROBLEM. MY FRONT HEADLAMPS GET MOISTURE IN THEM WHEN I WASH MY TRUCK ON. 3/13/14 THEY REPLACED MY LEFT HEADLAMP, STILL THE MOISTURE HAPPENS.WHEN TURNING ON THE TRUCK FROM PARK AND ENGAGING ON DRIVE A LOUD CLUNK AND A TOUGH MOVEMENT MAKES THE TRUCK FEEL LIKE ITS SWINGING FROM N TO S. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2/20/14 AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. JANUARY OF 2014 - APRIL 2014 THERE WERE 20 TIMES THAT MY TRUCK WENT INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES FOR RECALLS THATS 24 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS FOR A NEW TRUCK I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT ON 4/20/2014 AND 50 PARTS WERE PUT INTO THE TRUCK TO REPAIR IT. IT TOOK THE DEALER SELMAN 3 MONTHS BEFORE I HAD TO CALL AND ASK WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE CLUELESS. ON TOP OF ALL THAT I HAD TO DENIED THE TRUCK 8 TIMES BECAUSE OF WRONG PARTS THAT WERE PUT ON. THEY CHANGED MY WHOLE FRONT END . THE LIGHTS

WHEN TRUCK REACHES SPEED OF 70 MPH OR HIGHER THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING. IT FEELS LIKE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL HAS PROBLEMS. DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES AND SAID IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT AND STEERING COLUMN WAS REPAIRED TWICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TURNED. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TWO SETS OF NEW TIRES AND BOTH SETS FAILED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. UPDATED 7/29/15*CN UPDATED 10/06/2017*CN

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND SIGNIFICANT, IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS. AT NO TIME DID THE AIRBAGS WITHIN THE VEHICLE DEPLOY, WHICH FURTHER CONTRIBUTED TO THE INJURY OF THE DRIVER. *TR

THE VEHICLE IGNITION TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING (VEHICLE IN MOTION) CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. GM DOES NOT LIST THIS MODEL AS PART OF ITS RECALL AND WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO A DEALER AND HAVING IT REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

WHILE RETURNING FROM A TRIP PULLING MY CAMPER TRAILER ON JULY 15, 2014, THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED (NO BRAKES TO CAMPER), WITH MESSAGE "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM". DEALER REPLACED THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. TRAILER BRAKES WORKED FINE UNTIL MARCH 27, 2015 WHEN TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN WHILE PULLING MY CAMPER AND HAD MESSAGE "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM". BOTH TIMES AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM IS RESTORED BUT WILL FAIL AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 45MPH THE VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 6 CYLINDERS TO 4 CYLINDERS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4 CYLINDER MODE AND IT HAD TO ACCELERATE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT STARTED TO VIOLENTLY VIBRATE (SORRY BUT THAT??S THE BEST DESCRIPTION I CAN GIVE) ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM CHEVROLET SO FAR HAS CHANGED THE TIRES, REALIGNED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, REPLACED THE EXHAUST CLAMPS, ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM. NONE OF THESE HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. *TR

I WAS CLEANING THE INSIDE OUT AND NOTICED A HOLE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IN THE BOTTOM AREA AND THE LEATHER WAS THIN WHERE IT WAS TORN AND I WENT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE MOST OF THE DAY TO TAKE IT OFF TO SEE IF IT WAS TORN OR A PUNCTURE SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD MY TRUCK TO THIS LIST FOR DEFECTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WOULD QUIT PULLING, AS IF IN NEUTRAL. HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ON MAY 10,2015. NO WARNING BEFORE LOSING POWER TO WHEELS AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH.ENGINE WAS RUNNING NORMAL BEFORE AND AFTER LOSING POWER TO THE WHEELS. I THINK THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM IF YOU WERE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND LOSS ALL POWER TO THE DRIVE. I NOW FEEL UNSAFE DURING THE VEHICLE OR TAKING IT ON TRIPS. I THINK YOU SHOULD PUT A REDALL ON THIS VEHICLE S DRIVE TRAIN, COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY TRUCK LOST IT'S POWER STEERING. AN ALERT POPPED UP TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION SERVICE POWER STEERING. IT TOOK ALL THE STRENGTH I HAD TO KEEP MY TRUCK ON THE ROAD AS THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AS I WAS APPROACHING A CURVE IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO WARNING JUST INSTANT LOSS OF STEERING. I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WITH ME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOW. I HAVE READ ONLINE IN MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH QUITE A GREAT FREQUENCY IN 2014 SILVERADOS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN 4WD 'AUTO', OFF PAVEMENT IN WATERFRONT AREA, I DID NOT THINK 4WD WAS ENGAGING. WHEN I SHIFTED TO 4H, THE SEAT IMMEDIATELY CLAM SHELLED IN AND DOWN ON ME. I RESET SEAT, AND NOTICED MIRRORS ALSO HAD MOVED. A FEW MINUTES LATTER I TRIED THE SAME MANEUVER WHILE MOVING <5 MPH, WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I DROVE THE 20+ MILES BACK HOME IN 4AUTO, BUT READY FOR A SURPRISE SHIFT INTO 4WD, WITH THE ACCOMPANYING, DANGEROUS SEAT POSITION CHANGE. IT OCCURRED 1 MORE TIME, WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY APPROACHING MY DRIVEWAY. I TRIED TO DUPLICATED IT A FEW MORE TIMES DURING A 2 WEEK PERIOD; NO OCCURRENCES. THE SALES PEOPLE TOLD ME TO USE 4AUTO AS MY REGUALR MODE. I DECIDED TO TRY 2H. NOW WHEN I GO FROM 2H TO 4AUTO, THE SEAT MOVES BACKWARD IN SHORT JOLTS. GOING TO 4H OR 4L, AS DIRECTED IN THE MANUAL, A CLAM SHELL EFFECT OCCURS. I HAVE DONE IT WITH OTHERS IN MY TRUCK, SO THEY CAN WITNESS THE SEAT TRY TO DEVOUR ME. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I LEFT IT IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE SEAT & MIRRORS IN THEIR FINAL POSITION, SO OTHERS COULD GET IN AND SEE IF THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD DRIVE IN THAT POSITION. I HAVE NOT SET THE SET MEMORY, AND WAS VERY CAREFUL TO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING BUT THE 4WD CONTROL WHILE CHANGING DRIVE MODES. AS AN ASIDE, I NOTICED OTHERS OWNERS HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SEATS. MY 'SAFETY ALERT' SEAT, 'HEATED AND COOLED (PERFORATED)', 'FRONT FULL FEATURE', 'LEATHER APPOINTED BUCKETS' DEVELOPED A SMALL TEAR IN THE LOWER, MIDDLE PORTION OF THE SEAT. I WANTED IT REPLACED, AND OF COURSE,

RANDOM WINDSHIELD CRACKING, ITS 15 F HERE COLD YES.... DROVE TRUCK TO GAS STATION, GOT BACK IN TRUCK, USED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER AND WATCHED IN AWE AS THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM WIPER BLADES AREA. HORZ. CRACK AROUND 4 FEET LONG, IMMED. TOOK TO MUNCIE CHEVY DEALER, SAID NOT GM PROBLEM....................... THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE...................... *JS

DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WHEN I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD AND SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE BACK HOME. THE TRUCK WOULDN'T GO PAST SECOND GEAR. I EVEN TRIED PUTTING IT ON MANUAL AND SHIFTING MYSELF. EVEN THOUGH THE LEVER WAS ON M, THE M ITSELF DID NOT LIGHT UP AND THE + - BUTTONS DID NOT WORK. THANKFULLY I MADE IT HOME WITH THE HAZARDS ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE THE FIRST TIME. NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE SPEED SENSORS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND RATTLE UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED INTO SIX CYLINDER MODE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS NOT BALANCED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY AFTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

"CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I PULLED OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO POWER. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND THE POWER WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PULLED UP TO THE STOP SIGN WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON MAKING A RIGHT TURN, I NOTICED THE RPMS WERE UNUSUALLY HIGH AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING HIGHER THAN MAYBE 2ND GEAR. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT AGAIN AND CALLED CHEVROLET TOW SERVICES AND THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK AS NEW WITH 450 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. GM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS/THERE IS AN ENGINEERING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THERE IS NO RECOMMENDED FIX. HAVING SAID THAT, THEY ADVISE THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING "AS DESIGNED." BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS POORLY DESIGNED AND POORLY ENGINEERED, THEN POOR PERFORMANCE IS EXPECTED. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS, SO I'M STUCK WITH THE VEHICLE S IS. THE PROBLEM IS, AND YOU KNOW THIS, THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE, AND NEITHER YOU NOR THE MANUFACTURER WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WORSE, THEY (CHEVROLET) CONTINUES TO SELL THESE TRUCKS KNOWING THERE ARE PROBLEMS. WORSE YET, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT BEING DISCLOSE TO NEW BUYERS UNDER THE VEIL OF "PERFORMING AS DESIGNED." LASTLY, NOTE THAT SINCE THERE ARE NO ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THERE MAY NOT BE A TRIGGER FOR THE LEMON LAW FILING ("... AT LEAST THREE ATTEMPTS..). REMEMBER, THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS A NON- ISSUE TO YOU AND GM UNTIL SOMEBODY DIED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN A RURAL AREA, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAD LAMPS DID NOT PROVIDE CLEAR VISIBILITY FROM A DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

I WAS TRAVELING UP AN INCLINE WHEN VEHICLE STARTED JUMPING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS STABILITY OR SKID CONTROL AND WHEN TURNING ON TURN SIGNAL THE WIPERS CAME ON. DID NOT FEEL SAFE BUT DROVE TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP WITH VEHICLE JUMPING AND MISSING OUT, ABOUT 4 BLOCKS. DIAGNOSES WAS FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR AT 4577 MILES ON VEHICLE. AFTER PICKING UP VEHICLE WHEN REPAIR WAS DONE IT MISSED OUT AGAIN BUT NO ENGINE LIGHT. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOPE THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE ONGOING ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE ALERTED IT WAS LOW ON AIR. STOPPED AND CHECKED AIR PRESSURE BUT IT WAS OK. I RETURNED HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE WAS FLAT. SWAPPED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE AIR PRESSURE DISPLAY ON THE TRUCK IS REVERSED. THE INDICATOR FOR THE FRONT TIRE IS SHOWING THE REAR TIRE. THE REAR TIRE IS SHOWING THE PRESSURE FOR THE FRONT TIRE. THEY ARE FIXING IT NOW, NOT SURE OF THE TROUBLE YET. *TR

PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT MY TRUCK HAD 6 RECALLS. ALMOST ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN FOR ?SOFTWARE? ISSUES. THE LATEST PROBLEM IS WHAT I AM WRITING TO YOU ABOUT AND I BELIEVE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IF IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF HANDLING IT, IT COULD EASILY BE FATAL TO ONE OR MORE INDIVIDUALS. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IS AS FOLLOWS: THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS EVE I DROVE TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET TO PICK UP SOME LAST MINUTE STUFF AND AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I PULLED OUT ONTO A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO TURN LEFT. PART WAY INTO THE TURN I HEARD A ?CLUNK? IN THE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND IMMEDIATELY THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WRENCHED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I WAS FORCED TO BRAKE SHARPLY. I WAS, OBVIOUSLY TAKEN BY SURPRISE BY THE INCIDENT AND GRABBED THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND WRESTLED THE 6,000 LB TRUCK AROUND THE TURN, RUNNING OVER THE CURB ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM A REASONABLY FIT 6?4? 225 LB MALE AND I MUST TELL YOU THAT IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO TO TURN THE WHEEL AND PREVENT ME FROM RUNNING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY DEALERSHIP WAS 4 MILES FROM ME AND I WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE MY WAY THERE WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES. I GOT THE TRUCK THERE AND TOLD THE SERVICE PEOPLE WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID HAVE A SEAT IN THE WAITING ROOM AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. 25 MINUTES LATER A REP CAME OUT AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. ANOTHER SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE. YESTERDAY, JAN 5 THE SAME PROBL

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 CHEVY PICKUP WITH FOUR (4) MILES ON IT AND IT HAS A VIBRATION THAT THE DEALER CAN NOT REPAIR (3) TIMES IT NOW HAS 736 MILES MOSTLY PUT ON BY THE DEALER. THE MORE I DRIVE IT THE WORSE IT GETS, GM & CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION HAVE BEEN NO HELP! *JS

WAS TOWING A TRAILER, STOPPED AND FILLED UP WITH GAS. AS LEAVING THE GAS STATION, DASH LIGHTS DIMMED AND BRIGHTENED ON THEIR OWN, THEN WASHER PUMP STARTED SQUIRTING FLUID WITHOUT WIPER BLADES MOVING. WASHER PUMP CONTINUED SQUIRTING TILL THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AND BURNED THE PUMP. AFTERWARDS, ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, EXCEPT FOR THE DASH LIGHTS. ALSO, LOST ALL PARKING, HEAD LAMPS, TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE 2014 SILVERADO 1500, EXCEPT FOR HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP, WHICH WAS STUCK ON BRIGHT, AS IF BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. UPON READING OWNERS MANUAL, THERE IS A REFERENCE TO LOOSING LIGHTS UNDER "ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD". ALL ELECTRONICS BEING USED WAS FACTORY INSTALLED, OTHER THAN THE TRAILER THAT WAS BEING PULLED. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED A BODY CONTROL MODULE. ONE WEEK AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE DIMMED AND BRIGHTENED ON THEIR OWN AGAIN, THEREFORE, I AM AFRAID TO HOOK MY TRAILER BACK UP IN FEAR OF LOOSING ALL MY LIGHTS AGAIN, OR WORSE, DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, WASHER PUMP STARTS SQUIRTING FLUID AND GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER TALKING TO GM DIRECTLY, THEY CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY THEY WOULD REFERENCE THE "LOOSING LIGHTS UNDER ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD" IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BECAUSE OF A KNOWN DEFECT OR ISSUE THAT WOULD HINDER THEIR PROFITS. *JS

THE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS ON THE 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71 DOUBLE CAB 1500 TRUCKS DO NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION. THEY DO EXTEND UP SOME BUT NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN EXTENDED UP, THEY ALSO DO NOT EXTEND UP HIGH ENOUGH FOR EVEN A 5' 8" PERSONS HEAD. THE REST STILL ALLOWS THE PASSENGERS HEAD TO HIT THE REAR WINDOW. WHEN ONE RESTS THEIR HEAD BACK THE REST EASILY GOES DOWN AND DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE. REAR IMPACTS WOULD DEFINITELY RESULT IN A HEAD INJURY. OTHERS ON VARIOUS CHEVROLET ONLINE FORUMS HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT LET ADULTS RIDE IN THE REAR DOUBLE CAB AREA OF THE TRUCK. I CAN SEND YOU A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM IF YOU LIKE. EMAIL: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SMOKE WAS ALSO EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR SEALS HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 950.

I OWN A 2014 CHEVY Z71 THAT HAD A SHERROD LIFT PACKAGE INSTALLED AT THERE FACTORY AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER FOR EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND THE SECOND TIME IT WAS IN THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT ALL 4 BRAKE LINES WERE ABOUT TO BURST DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR AND INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LIFT. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE ALOT OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE MARKET AND HAD I DROVE IT ANOTHER WEEK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR ME OR SOMEONE I HIT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO ADDRESSED DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE. THE DEALER DEADLINED MY VEHICLE DUE TO A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR AND CONTACTED SHERROD. AS OF YET I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SHERROD ABOUT THE REPAIR. ITS THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. IF THE ONE I OWNED WAS DONE INCORRECTLY BUT TO SPECS ACCORDING TO SHERROD THAN IN 7000 MILES IF MINE WERE WITHIN DAYS OF BURSTING THAN SO ARE THERES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE LINES IF SOMEONE NEEDS THEM. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE OR LIVES WILL AND ARE AT STEAK. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT LANDERS CHEVROLET, BENTON, AR 72015, ON 10/30/14. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE OIL. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2014, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE STREET AT A RATE OF 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATES THAT THE BACK TIRES ARE WORN WHICH INDICATES ABUSE. GM WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE CONTACTED THEM, THE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE STATED THAT THE TIRES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM THEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEIR GM REP. STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE TIRES. WE CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVE CALLED US BACK, THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY BASED ON THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

DEALERSHIP THEN GAVE ME A LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS OF PAST ISSUES THAT WERE NOT PART OF MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. VEHICLE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH LESS THAN 800 MILES NOW HAS 1800.

PURCHASED MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AT THE END OF JUNE 2014 AND BY JULY 2014 WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK MY TRUCK EXPERIENCE A SEVERE VIBRATION THAT SHOOKED MY ENTIRE INTERIOR AND ESPECIALLY MY CENTER CONSOLE. TOOK MY TRUCK TO TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY MY TRUCK DRIVES AND HANDLES NORMALLY. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS, I DECIDED TO WRITE MY OWN COMPLAINT. CHEVY CORPORATION NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE ANY TRAGIC INCIDENT HAPPE NS LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL THAT INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED AND NOW THEY ARE PAYING MEGA BUCKS. ALSO REQUESTING OTHER OWNERS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO OTHER TRUCK BUYERS WILL STAY AWAY FROM CHEVROLET AUTOMOBILES ENTIRELY. MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL PROBABLY A FOREIGN BECAUSE I AM HAVING TO MANY PROBLEMS AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. THANKS ALOT CHEVY, FROM SOON TO BE EX-CHEVROLET OWNER. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO IN JUNE AND AFTER DRIVING A FEW HUNDRED MILES, I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS NOT VERY COMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. SOON AFTER A NOISE WAS COMING FROM UNDER SEAT. DEALER REPLACED SEAT TRACK BUT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND MY SEAT CUSHION CAME UNATTACHED. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOISE IS STILL APPARENT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEATS BEING UNCOMFORTABLE AND I CAN CONFIRM. WHY IS CHEVROLET PUTTING OUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLES AND EXPECT PEOPLE TO BUY. IF YOU ARE READING THIS DO NOT BUY A CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCK. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!! *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND TRAVELING BETWEEN 70-75. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO FEEL ROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THEM. THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING AIR OR GAS AND WOULD DIE. AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP IT SHIFTED ROUGHLY, WOULD ONLY GO 55, WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE CODE WAS FOR A MISS FIRE ON PLUG 6. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PLUG OR WIRES HAD BECOME LOOSE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A VALVE SPRING AND LATER DECIDED IT WAS A BENT PUSH ROD AND HAVE DISASSEMBLED THE HEAD TO INSPECT FURTHER. THEY ARE CONTACTING THE ENGINEERING DEPT. AT GM TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS OUR SECOND TRUCK THIS YEAR. OUR FIRST WAS A 2014 SILVERADO 1500 2X4, PURCHASED IN MAY W/ 4000 MILES, ROLLED DOWN A HILL ON JULY 26TH AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHILE UNOCCUPIED, LOCKED AND IN PARK. GM WAS "UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG", AND CLOSED OUR CASE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THIS IS OUR REPLACEMENT TRUCK. WE TOOK A LOSS BUT UPGRADED TO THE 4X4 BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN COVERED IN THE RECALL OF JUNE 27, 2014 "IN EFFECTED VEHICLES, AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL SHORT MAY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WITH OUT THE DRIVER'S INPUT." WE HAVEN'T EVEN MADE OUR FIRST PAYMENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 27TH 2014 AND HAD A BAD VIBRATION ON THE DRIVE HOME. IT HAS A WOBBLE SENSATION AT 35-45 MPH FELT STRONGEST AT 43 MPH THAT FEELS LIKE IT HAS A BENT WHEEL BUT IT DOESNT. WHEN YOU GET TO 65-70 MPH THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION FROM THE TRUCK FELT STRONGEST AT 68 MPH AND IT ONLY OCCURS ON SMOOTH LEVEL ROADS AND EVEN CHANGING LANES DOES NOT CHANGE THE VIBRATION AT ALL SO IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS OTHER THEN BEING FLAT AND SMOOTH. THE DEALER HAS MADE FIVE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT ALREADY AND CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX IT ANYMORE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT ONE OUT OF FIVE GM TRUCKS (CHEVY & GMC) HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THIS YET. DO NOT BUY OR LET ANYONE YOU KNOW BUY A CHEVY & GMC TRUCK IN THE 2014 OR 2015 YEARS, 1 IN 5 ARE LEMONS THE VIBRATIONS ARE SO BAD THAT IT WILL MAKE YOU CAR SICK AFTER A FEW MILES AND CAN AGGRAVATE EXISTING CONDITIONS SUCH AS PEOPLE WITH BACK ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM ALSO GREATLY REDUCES THE TRADE-IN OR RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL MAKE SELLING IT YOURSELF VERY PROBLEMATIC IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU LOOK ON YOUTUBE YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO POST SOME VIDEOS TO SHOW THIS VIBRATION PROBLEM. *TR

UPON DELIVERY OF NEW 2014 CREW CAB SILVERADO, WITH 21 MILES, FRAME RUST WAS OCCURRING AND COATING WAS PEELING OFF. GM IS AWARE OF ISSUE AND HAS A TSB, #PI0564D, BUT DEALERSHIPS ARE RELUCTANT OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST WITH HEAVY ROAD SALTING AND BEFORE THE TRUCK HAS EVEN SEEN WET PAVEMENT, THE FRAME IS RUSTING DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECTS DURING THE ASSEMBLY. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GET SATISFACTORY REPAIR WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. GM CAN NOT CLAIM, LIKE THEY WANT TO, THAT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES CAUSING RUST ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS FRAME RUST IS OCCURRING AT THE FACTORY DUE TO ASSEMBLY LINE DEFECTS PROBABLY RELATED TO NOT WASHING/TREATING THE FRAMES PRIOR TO COATING THEM. *TR
