2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

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

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 RECALL AS MANDATED BY ITS CUSTOMER POLICIES GM CUSTOMER CARE DSC3115 AND US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NHTSA MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY TITLE 49, UNITED STATES CODE CHAPTER 301 OF MAY 2013, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF COUNSEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE . *TR

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
