2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
