2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

INTENSITY AND COVERAGE OF HEADLIGHTS IS TERRIBLE. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE DIM AND THERE IS NO SIDE COVERAGE TO ALLOW SEEING THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I WENT INTO THE DITCH WHEN TRYING TO AVOID ONCOMING CARS AND NEARLY HIT A JOGGER.

@ AROUND 32,000 MILES I THREW A CODE, STABILITRACK SYSTEM ENGAGED AND IT HAD A SIGNIFICANT LOSE IN POWER. I CHECKED THE CODE AND IT WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 7. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL AND PLUG WIRE. NOW AT 34,000 MILES IT HAPPENS AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME TO CYLINDER 6. KNOWING WHAT TO LOOK FOR I CHECKED THE WIRE, WHICH WAS HANGING FREELY FROM THE PLUG, AND IT WAS CORRODED INSIDE THE BOOT AND I'M SURE THE COIL WAS AS WELL BUT I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BE REPAIRED.

WHILE IN MOTION (40 MPH) VEHICLE WILL START VIBRATING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN I SLOWED DOWN OR CAME TO A STOP. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES. DEALER MECHANIC DISCOVERED IT WAS A LOOSE SPARK PLUG CABLE. IT WAS RECONNECTED 3 TIMES. NO PERMANENT FIX. CURRENT VEHICLE MILES = 28,000.

THE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAZARD. THE LOW BEAM SETTING IS EXTREMELY DIM AND WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET OR AT DAWN/DUSK IT FEELS THAT YOU ARE TRAVELING WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS ON. THE HIGH BEAMS PROJECT WELL, BUT DISPERSE QUICKLY. I HAVE OWNED A 1987 GMC SIERRA, A 2000 CHEVROLET 1500, AND A 2002 GMC SIERRA ALL OF WHICH HAD PERFECT ILLUMINATION SYSTEMS. GM OUTFITTED THE 2014 WITH A SAFETY HAZARD. MOST OF MY DRIVING OCCURS IN THE ARCTIC, WHICH 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR IS PRACTICALLY DARK MOST OF THE DAY. I HAVE ALMOST HIT 3 MOOSE THIS MONTH BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD AHEAD UNDER HIGH BEAM OR LOW BEAM. I AM UPGRADING MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO THE COST OF $450.00 BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEE ON OUR REMOTE ROADS IN ALASKA. I LOVE THE TRUCK IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT, BUT THE STOCK HEADLIGHTS ARE GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THANKS.

WE OWN A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. UPON TRAVELING A LOW RATE OF SPEED OR UNDER 40 MPH, THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE HESITATES NUMEROUS TIMES AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AND THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE DIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE IS 35,024.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, BRAKE ASSIST, STIBILATRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKES WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT MOISTURE WAS PRESENT IN THE BRAKES SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND CHASSIS HARNESS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,316.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE EXTERIOR AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

WHEN THE BELOW MESSAGES ARE RECEIVED, STEERING THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, THE STEERING WHEEL THRASHES BACK AND FORTH (WHEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS - I.E. ATTEMPTING TO PARK) AND USUALLY ENTERS A "LOW POWER MODE" WHERE YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE, STEER OR ABOUT ANYTHING. IN ALL CASES, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. 9/6/15: WHILE MAKING A TURN, RECEIVED A "STABILITRAK OFF" AND "POWER STEERING ASSIST REDUCES DRIVE WITH CARE" 9/8/15; RECEIVED THE ABOVE TWO MESSAGES PLUS "SERVICE 4WD" - 9/10/15 DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR PER TSB 9/14/15: RECEIVED STABILITRAK AND PWR STEERING MESSAGES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE TRUCK -- DEALER STATED LOVE VOLTAGE CODES PRESENT, SO THEY CHARGED THE BATTER AND RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. 9/16/15: HAD THE STEERING WHEEL THRASHING WHEN BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, BUT NO MESSAGES 9/24/15: WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS SLOW) RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK (TWICE) AND PWR STEERING MESSAGES, SO I EXITED TO TAKE SIDE STREETS HOME. WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK AND PWR STEERING MESSAGE, THE LOW POWER MODE AND THRASHING STEERING. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS. CURRENTLY AT DEALER, THEY STATE THEY ARE REPLACING BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLES AND REROUTED A WIRE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RUBBING THE FRAME. NOTE: THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2015 MODELS FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) GM # 14743 -- SAME SYMPTOMS...

WHEN TURNING MY TRUCK LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A CLUNKING/POPPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (MAYBE FROM THE FRONT END). CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PORTLAND,TX CONFIRMED THE NOISE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE NOISE. SO THE SERVICE MANAGER STOPPED WORK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE CHASING A "GHOST". SO I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND HE DID NOTHING TO HELP ME AND ADVICE ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING SO I AM NOT BUYING ANOTHER CHEVY IN MY LIFE, THANKS GM FOR PRODUCING ANOTHER SCREWED UP VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SEAT BEGAN TO SHIFT AND COME OUT OF ALIGNMENT INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT CUSHION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SHIM KIT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. SHORTLY AFTER HAVING THE REPAIRS PERFORMED, THE SEAT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AGAIN, BUT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 12/18/15*LJ, UPDATED 12, UPDATED 4/4/18 *TR
