2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

EVENT #1: STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT ON CITY STREET TO TURN LEFT; LIGHT CHANGES; TUNED STEERING WHEEL RAPIDLY TO THE LEFT & ACCELERATED; CROSSING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT OUT OF MY HANDS 3 TIMES TILL I BRAKED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP & SAT STILL FOR 5 SECONDS; COULD THEN STEER & DRIVE NORMALLY. EVENT # 2: VERY NEXT DAY; BACKING SLOWLY OUT OF DRIVEWAY; STOPPED ON STREET; TURNED STEERING WHEEL SLOWLY TO LEFT TO PROCEED DOWN STREET; STEERING WHEEL JERKS VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT; AFTER BRAKING & SITTING FOR 5 SECONDS WITH THE ENGINE IDLING AGAIN, WAS ABLE TO PROCEED. EVENT # 3: 15 MINUTES AFTER EVENT #2; AGAIN BACKING SLOWLY TO THE LEFT TO TURN AROUND, & THEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO PROCEED FORWARD, STEERING WHEEL JERKS VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT OUT OF MY HANDS. AGAIN AFTER BRAKING TO A STOP & SITTING AT IDLE FOR 5 SECONDS WAS ABLE TO PROCEED. DURING ALL 3 EVENTS, THE SCREEN DISPLAYED "SERVICE STABILITRAK". THIS ISSUE "STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY OUT OF MY HANDS" & "STEERING LOCKS UP (VIDEO INCLUDED) WHEN TURNING" IS FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED ON GM FORUMS BY OWNERS. ONE OWNER APPEARS TO HAVE SOLVED IT BY FIXING A POOR ELECTRICAL GROUND UNDER THE DASH.

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND A SIGNAL LIGHT IS USED , CRUISE IS DISENGAGED OR IF THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED UP OR DOWN THEN CRUISE WILL BE DISENGAGED. THIS ACTION WILL ALSO CAUSE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO DIM WHEN THE SIGNAL IS USED OR WINDOWS ROLLED UP OR DOWN. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WILL CLEAR UP AND MAY GO ANOTHER HOUR BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND SOMETIMES FLASHES A WARNING IN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER,STABILITRAK DISABLED AND STEERING ASSIST DISABLED DRIVE WITH CAUTION. AGAIN IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IT WILL WORK JUST FINE FOR A WHILE. THIS DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR. THIS STARTED HAPPENING APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO WITH CRUISE BEING DISENGAGED AND THE DASH LIGHTS DIMMING WHILE USING THE SIGNAL LIGHTS OR THE WINDOW SWITCH. THE STABILITRAK AND STEERING WARNINGS STARTED 03/19/2017. ON 03/20/2017 I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MILES AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A LOW SPEED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIPPED FROM MY HANDS. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON APRIL 8TH WHILE PULLING A TRAILER WITH THE TOW HAUL MODE ENGAGED. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE AND KICKED THE VEHICLE INTO PASSING GEAR WHEN THE STABILITRAK AND STEERING WARNING BOTH CAME ON .

THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT TIGHTEN UP TO YOUR LAP OR SHOULDER AFTER BEING SNAPPED TO THE STATIONARY PIECE. THE BELT CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER REPORTING TO DEALERSHIP COOK CHEVROLET IN CRAIG COLORADO AND TAKING THERE FOR THEM TO REPAIR.THEY GAVE ME A 400 ESTIMATE AND DID NOT REPAIR I ASSUME THIS WOULD BE FOUND ON MOST OF THESE VEHICLES FROM POOR MATERIALS, I WILL REPAIR THIS ISSUE MYSELF SINCE I CANNOT TRUST CHEVROLETS WORKMANSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER, THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME FOGGY AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 05/17/17*LJ *AS

WAS DRIVING TO THE DENTIST. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND "STABILITRACK FAILURE" POPED UP. WAS PULLING INTO THE DOCTORS OFFICE NOT 8 MIN L8R CAME UP AGAIN BUT THIS TIME STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP THEN UN LOCKED THEN LOCKED UP MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING AT AN EXTREMELY LOW SPEED AND I COULD CONTROL THE VEHICLE BETWEEN IT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. WHEN I LEFT THE DOCTORS OFFICE I NOTICED MY SETTINGS RESET. EX DASHBOARD DISPLAY SHOWED THE RADIO STATION INSTEAD OF THE FUEL ECONOMY. I SIMPLY CHANGED IT AND NOTICED THE COMPUTER ERASED MY PREVIOUS FUEL ECONOMY. I'M ASSUMING THEIRS SOME MALFUNCTION BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THESE SYSTEMS. AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT MY VEHICLE ISN'T THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE.DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BUT I`M TO SCARE TO DRIVE IT I DON`T` FEEL SAFE WHEN IT`S STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING

1. DRIVER'S SEAT RECLINING MECHANISM JAMMED AND STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO HAVE SEAT BACK FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACED JUST AFTER WARRANTY. 2. SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION GENERALLY WORKS GOOD MOST OF THE TIME. ON OCCASIONS (ABOUT 50 SO FAR) WHEN BACKING OUT OF A SPACE AND SHIFTING GEAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT, THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT SHIFTS AND JUMPS INTO GEAR WITH A CLUNK. THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN YOU ARE BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC IN PARKING LOT, ONTO A STREET, OR MAKING A 3-POINT TURN AND THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT WHEN YOU ANTICIPATE IT SHOULD AND YOU ARE STUCK THERE FOR THE DELAY. THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH. TOOK TO DEALER UNDER WARRANTY, THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM. DATE AT BOTTOM IS A GUESS. HAVE TO CHECK DEALER RECORDS AT HOME.

THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND MOVING. THE VEHICLES STEERING CAPABILITIES MALFUNCTIONED AND COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING OCCURRED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE WERE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE EXPERIENCING STEERING FAILURE AS WELL. THERE IS VIDEO EVIDENCE ON YOUTUBE TO PROVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. SEE "2014 CHEVY SILVERADO STABILITRAK ISSUES PART 4" ON YOUTUBE TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY IS OCCURRING.

WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE STEERING LOCKED UP, JERKING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, AND REFERENCED A STABILITRAK SERVICE MESSAGE. VERY SCARY CAUSING A TOTAL LACK OF CONTROL WITH STEERING. FOUND MANY EXAMPLES ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS, EVEN VIDEO EVIDENCE. TOOK TO CHEVY AND THEY "COULD NOT REPLICATE" SO NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I TRADED THE TRUCK FOR A NEW FORD. ODDLY ENOUGH MY NEIGHBOR NOTICED MY NEW TRUCK AND WE GOT TO TALKING. HIS 2014 GMC 1500 SIERRA HAS HAD THE SAW EXACT ISSUE. I CONTACTED GM WITH MY CONCERN WITH NO HELP AT ALL. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE MAKE GM FIX BEFORE FAMILIES HAVE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP. LOSS OF STEERING POWER, ETC. AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES, THE ERROR POPPED UP STATING THAT THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM HAD KICKED IN AND THE VEHICLE STEERING JERKED ME INTO ANOTHER LANE ON INTERSTATE 485 AT ROUGHLY 70 MILES PER HOUR.. TWO DAYS LATER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, BUT AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND RE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, THE VEHICLE STARTED. TODAY AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SYSTEM STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND THAT THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM WAS NOW ENGAGED. HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT CHECKED OUT COMPLETELY FINE. IT IS MY FEELING THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL OR A GROUND SOMEWHERE. AFTER REVIEWING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE STEERING TO COMPLETELY TAKE OVER AT 70 MILES PER HOUR.
