2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS APPEARED TO BE DIM AND THE DRIVER COULD NOT VIEW THE ROAD AHEAD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

WAITED 12 YEARS TO AFFORD A NEW TRUCK AND WERE STUCK WITH THIS LEMON. 14 ACTIVE RECALLS PAID OVER $1K FOR REPAIR WORK NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY HAD THE VEHICLE ONE YEAR (2015) HAD TO HAVE THE SEATS REPAIRED. AIR BAG ISSUES AND THE DEALER SAID IT WASN'T COVERED EITHER. AS OF TODAY I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $3K ON THIS TRUCK FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULDN'T THINK A NEW TRUCK WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR. THE REAR END WENT OUT AT CHRISTMAS (2016) REALLY. COME ON CHEVY YOU'VE GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THIS. OFFER IS SOMETHING FOR OUR TROUBLES. WILL NOT BUY OR RECOMMEND A CHEVY PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE AND THE DASH FLASHED. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE RESTARTED IN ORDER TO CORRECT MALFUNCTION. ON ALL OCCASIONS CAR WAS BEING BACKED UP FROM A PARKING GARAGE.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY DOING 55 MPH. I SAY THE LIGHT TURN RED AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. THERE WERE NO BRAKES AS THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO ROLL TO A STOP WITHOUT CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT. I WAS TOWED TO MY DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT AND SEEMS TOO DANGEROUS FOR SUCH A NEW VEHICLE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT (I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME AT A DRY, MUTLI-TURN LANE LIGHT) NOV 15, 2016. AFTER COLLISION REPAIRS TO THE VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WOULD NOT RECLINE. DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT, IT RECLINED BUT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP AND REQUIRED METAL SEAT BACK FRAME REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE FAILURE. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T OR WOULDN'T IDENTIFY THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT RESULTED FROM THE ACCIDENT. INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGE AS THE DIRECT HIT TO THE TRUCK WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, OPPOSITE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND AS I HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT FAILURE OF THIS TYPE AND HAVE OWNED OTHER NEW CHEVY TRUCKS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS COULD BE A FAULTY PRODUCTION RUN OF THE SEAT BACK FRAME. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT DID NOT EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER HIDDEN CRITICAL FAILURE ITEMS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT OR COULD POSSIBLY BE AN INSTALLED FACTORY FAILURE. I DON'T HAVE PHOTOS BUT I DO HAVE THE OLD SEAT BACK FRAME IN MY POSSESSION IF NEEDED.

THE TRUCK HAS A RAW FUEL SMELL UNDER HOOD AND DRAWN IN THE CABIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. ATTACHED IS LEN LYALL CHEVROLET'S DIAGNOSIS OF LEAKING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 40,866 MILES. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT BY THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THERE IS ONE (TSB #15-NA-002) AND TWO RECALL/ CAMPAIGNS (#14858 AND #13331) FOR THIS KNOWN FAILURE. THIS IS A SAFETY, HEALTH AND EMISSIONS CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE, HIGH/ FAILING EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS, AND RESPIRATORY HEALTH PROBLEMS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SYSTEM FAILURE SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER, I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT IN FOR CORROSION AT THREE MONTHS, 8+ RECALLS. NOW IT WON'T SHIFT CORRECTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN (STOPLIGHT) AND THEN TAKING OFF AGAIN. IT IDLES ROUGH ALL THE TIME AND EVEN DIES AT TAKE-OFFS UNLESS I CAN FINAGLE THE GAS PEDAL JUST RIGHT. I TOOK IT IN TO A GREAT DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT IDLES ROUGH, HOWEVER, THEY SAID GM SAID THAT IS NORMAL. THE CORROSION STARTED AT MONTH 3, AND PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I TOOK IT BACK IN FOR THE CORRSION AND GM TOLD THE DEALSHIP I AM ON MY OWN TO PAY FOR THE (SAME LOCATION) CORRSION REPAIR, AS THE WARRANTY WAS UP (36,500 MILES).

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY STABILTRAK LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT TOLD ME THE UO126 AND CO544 SETTING FOUND POWER STEERING MODULE NOT COMMUNICATING AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MODULE FOR THE SHORT IN THE WIRE. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL DEALERS I WAS TOLD THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER CHEVY'S SUCH AS MY 08 COBALT WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THE POWER STEERING TURNING OFF. *TR
