2014 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD THIS GO OFF ON ME OVER 100 TIMES IN 25,000 MILES AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES. THE LED ON THE DASH WILL FLASH AND THE SEAT WILL VIBRATE CAUSING YOU TO REACT THINKING YOU ARE GETTING READY TO HIT SOMETHING. THIS OCCURS IN 3 SITUATIONS: 1) APPROACHING AN UNDERPASS WHILE THE SUN IS SHINING INTO THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS DAILY FOR ME DURING MY COMMUTE. 2) IN A LANE ON THE HIGHWAY CLOSEST TO THE BARRIER WALL, IT THINKS YOU ARE GOING TO HIT IT HEAD ON I GUESS. 3) ON A 2 LANE SIDE ROAD WITH APPROACHING CARS ARE THE ARE PASSING BY ON YOUR DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT IF THIS IS DUE TO THE SUNSHINE OR HEAD LIGHTS. SO THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ALERT REACTION TO YOU EACH TIME, THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS A REACTION TO NOTHING BUT ALERTS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN ITSELF. *TR

DROVE 15 MILES TO STORE. SHOPPED. STARTED HOME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TCL LIGHT STAYING ON AND TRUCK SHAKING WILL BARELY RUN. *TR

I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW MY TRUCK IS RUSTING. IT HAS THE AMOUNT OF RUST THAT I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE ON A TRUCK AFTER 7 - 10 YEARS. THE TRUCK'S UNDERBODY INCLUDING THE FRAME IS RUSTING EVERYWHERE. FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHATEVER WAS SPRAYED ON THE FRAME IS JUST PEELING OFF IN CHUNKS. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP IN ANOKA, MAIN MOTORS LOOK AT THIS WHEN I GOT AN OIL CHANGE TODAY AND THEY AGREED THE RUST IS EXCESSIVE BUT GM HAS TOLD THEM TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BASED ON PI0281D. GM CLAIMS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST RUST RESISTANT TRUCK EVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND NO WARNINGS LAMPS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, HOWEVER NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

MY WIFE & SISTER WERE RUN OFF THE ROAD . THEY WENT UP A DITCH & HIT A COLVURT . THE SEATBELTS DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE & AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE . THIS WAS A LOANER TRUCK FROM DEALER . IT WAS A 2014 4 DOOR CHEVY SILVERADO FROM LUCAS CHEVY IN COLUMBIA TN. 38401 . I THINK THE WAS SOME SORT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS HAPPENING . PLEAS CALL FOR COMPLETE INFO ON THIS . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED AND SURGED WITH OUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO STANDARDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPDATED 10/7/14*CN

THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT MAKES FOR POOR CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS A BRAND NEW CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES AND THE DRIVETRAIN HAS BEEN BALANCED, THE TIRES REPLACED, FORCED BALANCED THE WHEELS, REPLACED THE TIRES AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. IT CAUSES LANE WANDER AND DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT NORMAL SPEED. *TR

I DON'T LIKE THE AUTO LOCKS ON ALL THE DOORS. IF YOU DON'T PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK, AND IF THE KIDS PULL THE HANDLE BEFORE I PUT IN PARK, YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE THE TRUCK AND OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TURNED OFF ALL THE LOCKS AND IT STILL DOES IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE MADE NOW. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR WAS STILL IN GEAR, MY KIDS WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE TRUCK, BECAUSE EVEN HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTONS WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, I CAN'T EVEN DROP THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL IN THE LINE BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK IN ORDER FOR THE DOORS TO UNLOCK AND THAT IS AFTER I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON TO GET THEM TO UNLOCK. THIS IS VERY SCARY TO MY WIFE AND I. WHAT CAN BE DONE? THANKS. *TR

ON FRIDAY MAY 23, 2014, I WAS BACKING AN EMPTY BOAT TRAILER DOWN MY PRIVATE BOAT LAUNCH WITH MY NEW 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 PICKUP. WHEN I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP, STARTED SPINNING WHEELS, AND SHOT DOWN THE RAMP HITTING THREE BULKHEAD PILINGS EIGHT FEET APART, FINALLY WEDGING THE TRUCK INTO THE LAST PILING AND STOPPING BEFORE GOING INTO THE WATER. THE INCIDENT LASTED LESS THAN FIVE SECONDS AND MY FOOT NEVER LEFT THE BRAKE AS WITNESSED BY A THIRD PARTY VERIFYING THE BRAKE LIGHTS NEVER WENT OFF. I FEEL OBLIGATED TO REPORT THIS TO BOTH CHEVROLET AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. HAD THIS OCCURRED IN A PUBLIC PARKING AREA, SERIOUS INJURIES AND DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES COULD HAVE RESULTED. AN INSURANCE CLAIM HAS BEEN MADE, AND AFTER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER FOR ANALYSIS FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS. *TR

UPON STARTUP, MY TRUCK'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND THE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AT 10,383 MILES. THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND RECEIVED A HARD CODE P0420 BANK 1, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND THE CODES CLEARED OUT. MAINLY REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS OLD AND HAS 10,383 MILES UPON FAILURE. CATALYTIC CONVERTERS SHOULD LAST LONGER. *TR

WAS IN A TURN LANE FOLLOWING A VEHICLE GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL ROLLING UP TO AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MADE THEIR TURN AND WHILE I WAS STILL ROLLING I CHECKED ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A VEHICLE COMING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT I TOO HAD TIME TO MAKE THE TURN IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DID NOTHING FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE A HALF OF A SECOND BEFORE FINALLY ACCELERATING. IT WAS AS IF IT WAS THE OLD DAYS WHEN WE HAD A BADLY TUNED CARBURETOR AND THE ENGINE BOGGED BEFORE FINALLY TAKING OFF. ONLY, THE TRUCK DOESN'T BOG, IT JUST DOESN'T RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD ALL THE TIME. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN "DRIVE" SO PERHAPS IT WAS RUNNING IN V4 AND/OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRANSMISSION SHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT. REGARDLESS, AN ACCELERATOR THAT DOES NOT RESPOND THE SAME WAY EVERY TIME BUT VARIES DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS IS IN MY OPINION DANGEROUS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING NO PARTICULAR SPEED THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAUGE BEGAN TO INCREASE UP TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN DEGREES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MALFUNCTION OF PEDAL ADJUSTMENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CARGO LIGHT BUTTON AND PEDAL ADJUSTMENT BUTTON DID NOT WORK, ONLY A DAY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER AND HER HUSBAND THEN DECIDED TO TAKE A DRIVE. WHEN HER HUSBAND PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, AND LIKE HE ALWAYS DID, HE SLOWLY TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND LET THE TRUCK IDLE BACKWARDS. HOWEVER, WHEN HE DID, THE BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY ADJUSTED UP FOR A VERY SHORT PERSON AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND THE VEHICLE SHOT OUT OF THE GARAGE VERY FAST. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BOTH PEDALS ADJUSTED TOGETHER, BUT THAT WASN'T THE WAY IT SEEMED. HE IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKE, BUT IT WAS ADJUSTED UP SO HIGH, HE COULDN'T GET HIS FOOT ON IT, UNTIL THEY WERE ALMOST THROUGH THE CARPORT AND THE VEHICLE STRUCK ONE OF THE STEEL POSTS OF THE CARPORT, DOING SEVERAL THOUSANDS DOLLARS OF DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, FOR AN INSPECTION. THE NEXT DAY, THE DEALER CALLED, STATING THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WOULD NOT SAVE AN ADDRESS. UPDATED 03/27/14

I NOTICED THAT THE HEATER DOESN'T WORK IN THE TRUCK WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. TODAY IT IS 23 DEGREES AND IT DIDN'T WORK. SEEMS THE LOWER THE SPEED OF THE FAN THE WARMER THE AIR IS. IT ACTUALLY WARMED UP IN THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE FAN SPEED WAS OFF. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT ON TO A CITY STREET AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE, PLANNING TO GET UP TO ABOUT 25 MPH BECAUSE THERE WAS A RED LIGHT A BLOCK AWAY. THE TRUCK RESPONDED AS IF I HAD FLOORED THE PEDAL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL AND THE TRUCK KEPT ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE. I HIT THE BRAKES THINKING THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD GONE NUTS, BUT HITTING THE BRAKES WOULD NOT TURN IT OFF. IT KEPT ACCELERATING WITH THE TACH OVER 5000. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO IDLE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN AT FULL THROTTLE. I PUT IT BACK IN NEUTRAL, MOVED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. THEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. I'M 72; IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING BY HERSELF, SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS WRECK. THE TRUCK IS A 2014 SILVERADO, BOUGHT 4 WEEKS AGO, 6 CYLINDER WORK TRUCK. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1 WEEK AGO TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED 2 DAYS AGO. THE CHEVROLET DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE RECALL FOR POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER ONLINE AND IT SHOWS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT STILL HAS A WARNING FOR NOT BEING SERVICED AS PER CHEVROLET AND NHTSA WEBSITES. BASICALLY, THE CHEVROLET DEALER SOLD ME A NEW VEHICLE ON RECALL AGAINST THE COMPANY POLICY, DOCUMENT DCS3115 (NOTICE TO DEALERS), AS POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE . THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME IF THERE WAS ANY REPROGRAMMING DONE AS REQUIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER WHO KNOWS MY VEHICLE TODAY AND HE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL AT ALL AND STATED HE GET BACK TO ME . ACCORDING TO GM CUSTOMER CARE AND AFTERSALES ON YOUR WEBSITE , ALL CHEVROLET AND GM DEALERS WERE SENT AND URGENT STOP DELIVERY ORDER ON JANUARY 10, 2014 ADDRESSED TO THE DEALER, GENERAL MANGERS, NEW VEHICLE SALES MANAGERS AND SERVICE MANAGERS TO STOP DELIVERY OF THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND TO REPROGRAM THEM PRIOR TO SALES. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHETHER IT WAS SERVICED OR WHETHER IT IS AT RISK OF CATCHING FIRE. THIS HAS SHOWN LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN CHEVROLET AND ITS LOCAL DEALER IN COMMUNICATION, TRUST, AND CONFIDENCE. IT HAS PLACED ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. IT HAS VIOLATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OF DISCLOSURE TO THE CUSTOMER AND HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN ITS POLICIES AND PROTOCOL IN THE HANDLING OF RE

VEHICLE HAS VIBRATION, MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE VIBRATION COMES UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE GAS PEDAL. THE WHEELS/TIRES ARE SUSPECT, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A SLIPPED BELT AND SUBSEQUENT TIRE FAILURE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER WHO STATES "VIBRATION IS NORMAL". *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE KID IN THE BACK OF THE CREWCAB PICKUP OPENED THE REAR DOOR. THE TRUCK LOCKS THE DOORS WHEN IT IS PUT INTO DRIVE. BUT WHEN HE PULLED ON THE DOOR LATCH IT OPENED UP. I THOUGHT THE DOORS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. WHEN I TESTED THIS AT HOME, WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING AND IN DRIVE, ANY OF THE DOORS WILL OPEN UP ON THE 2ND PULL ON THE LATCH. THE 1ST PULL UNLOCKS THE DOOR AND ON THE 2ND PULL IT OPENS THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD MANY OTHER TRUCKS AND THEY NEVER DID THIS. SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. CAN YOUTELL ME IF THE NHTSA HAS ANY SAFETY RULES ON THIS? I CALLED THE DEALER AND TALKED WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND HE CONFIRMED THAT OTHER 2014 SILVERADOS DO THIS TO, SO HE HAD NO FIX FOR IT. THERE IS A CHILD LOCK OUT SWITCH FOR THE READ DOORS, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE MANUALLY SET EVERY TIME YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE AND WOULD NOT LOCK EITHER OF THE FRONT TWO DOORS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A SAFETY RULE FOR THIS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOUND THAT THE REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS IN THE CREW CAB WOULD NOT RAISE HIGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT AN ADULT SIZE PERSON'S HEAD FROM HITTING THE GLASS OR GETTING A SEVERE NECK INJURY IN A REAR END COLLISION. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW FOR A VEHICLE MARKETED AS A PEOPLE MOVER. I HAVE ISSUED COMPLAINTS TO CHEVY VIA WEB AND LETTER. OLDER TRUCK (2005) DIDN'T HAVE THIS FLAW IN SAFETY AS THE HEAD RESTRAINTS COULD BE RAISED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A FIX MANDATORY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY BECAME FOGGY. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE DEFROSTER BUT IT ONLY CLEARED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,600.

I PURCHASED A 2014 SILVERADO CREW CAB LTZ Z71 ON AUGUST 16. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IT BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT WERE EXTRA MODULES ON THIS VEHICLE.
