2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

PURCHASE $52,000 TRUCK 2/14. NINE RECALLS ON NEBULOUS MATTERS. AT 46,000 MILES AND 3 1/2 YEARS, A C BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR. CONDENSER IS LEAKING. G M CONDENSER NOT AVAILABLE - NATIONAL BACK ORDER. DEALER OFFERED AFTER MARKET CONDENSER FOR $863. HAVE LEARNED THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER INVOLVED 18,000 CONDENSERS. THIS MANY G M 2014 SILVERADO OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GIVE OWNERS SOME RELIEF ON THIS FAULTY TRUCK PART. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ABOUT THIS. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT THIS MATTER. LEAKING SO MUCH COOLANT MIGHT BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE.

GM MANUFACTURER IS TAKING TOO LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR COME UP WITH A REMEDY FOR GM RECALL #: N172085440. THE DATE ISSUED WAS JUNE, 29TH 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT 5 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED, THE BRAKES FAILED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER EXCEPT FOR THE ESC INDICATOR AND A WARNING CHIME SOUNDED. THE FAILURES RECURRED AS THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT AND THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO SPUN INDEPENDENTLY TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JESSUP AUTO PLAZA IN CATHEDRAL CITY, CA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE FOR POTENTIAL REPURCHASE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: N172085440. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,800.

I HAVEN'T BEEN INFORMED OF RECALL # N172085440. DEALER HASN'T CONTACTED ME. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD CONTACT ME TO REFLASH THE EPS(ELECTRIC POWER STEERING)MODULE SOFTWARE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A TURN WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, HOT AIR EMITTED FROM THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN SUN VALLEY, CA WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD ONLY OFFER A ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR COUPON. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

A/C CONDENSER DEVELOPED A CRACK AND HAS FAILED / ALL FREON HAS LEAKED OUT, HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH GM AND NOTHING BUT JUST TELLING US 2 TO 3 MONTHS OUT FOR THE PART / IT'S 99 DEGREES WITH 70% TODAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA PLUS THIS IS THE 9TH WEEK I HAVE NOTHING. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TRIED TO STEP IN AND HELP BECAUSE GM WOULD NOT AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN ANSWER THE DEALERSHIPS CALLS. I'M ONE PISSED OFF CONSUMER WITH NO OTHER PLACE TO TURN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO MY BRAKES BECAME HARD TO USE. I HAD TO PUSH HARD WITH BOTH GET TO GET THEM TO WORK. THEN I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY AND THEY WHERE FINE UNTIL I TRIED TO PARK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I FOUND ON A FORUM THAT THIS IS A VACCUME PUMP ISSUE THAT IS COMMON IN THIS YEAR.

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN MAY 2017. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, I KEPT GETTING A "SERVICE STABILITRAC" MESSAGE. ABOUT 2 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST MESSAGE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. IT WENT COMPLETELY DARK. THE STEERING WHEEL RIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I NEARLY CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WITH ALL MY STRENGTH I TURNED THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION. AFTER I COASTED TO A STOP, I TURNED THE KEY OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY. ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LOSING POWER, STABILITRAC MESSAGES, DIMINISHED STEERING, LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY AND LOST ALL POWER, MY DOOR LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN LIKE THREE TIMES, AC SURGES, RADIO WENT ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS ISAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2014 1500 SILVERADOS. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ISSUE. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE. TODAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH IN TRAFFIC AND MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AGAIN, TOTAL BLACKOUT OF ALL ELECTRONICS, NO STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT THANKFULLY ALL SYSTEMS TURNED BACK ON IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND I MADE IT HOME. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS LOCATED THE SOURCE. IT IS A FAULT AT THE "G218" GROUND POINT WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT LEFT DASH SPEAKER. (SEE YOUTUBE VIDEO, SEARCH 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 STABILITRAC PROBLEM). SERIOUSLY, HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING.

SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN THE POWER STEERING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK OR TURN AROUND IN DRIVEWAY.. ON TIMES,ONLY WARNINGS WOULD FLASH UP ON THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ABOUT LOSE OF SYSTEMS AND THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD CYCLE. OCCASIONALLY, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD SHUT OFF THE CRUSE CONTROL.

I PURCHASED THE TRUCK MAY 2015. THE AC CONDENSER WENT OUT APRIL 2017. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PART HAS SOME TYPE OF HOLD ON IT. READING FORUMS CHEVROLET KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT IS IN NO HURRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO READ THAT THIS ISSUE IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR AGAIN. THERE IS NO REASON A 2 YEAR OLD TRUCK SHOULD BE HAVING AC ISSUES. IT IS VERY COMMON IN THE SPECIFIC YEAR. GM NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND MAKE IT RIGHT.
