2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

SINCE ABOUT 15000-18000 MILES THIS TRUCK VIBRATES AT MOST SPEEDS, MOST NOTICEABLE AT 65 MPH AND OVER. IT IS AT THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME ALL THEY DID WAS BALANCE THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. THE DEALER IS STILL SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS ON THIS. THE LOANER 2015 I HAVE IS WORSE AND VIBRATES AT ALL SPEEDS.....

TODAY, AT 1:00 PM , A SUNNY DAY @ 80 DEGREES, I ENTERED THE TRUCK AND SHUT THE DOOR. AS I DID SO, THE REAR DOOR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER BULGING OUTWARD AS WITNESSED BY MY NEIGHBOR. THE MINUTE I SHUT THE DOOR THE WINDOW BULGED OUTWARD AND SHATTERED! I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF IT WAS COVERED, AS IT ONLY HAD A THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK SO I GUESS NOT. COST OF A NEW WINDOW IS 82 BUCKS ON EBAY! ALL THE WARRANTIES I BOUGHT WITH THE CAR DO NOT COVER THE SIDE OR BACK WINDOWS. I WONDER IF THEY SHOULD COVER THIS ISSUE, BUT I HIGHLY SUGGEST ALL NEW TRUCK OWNERS OF CHEVY SILVERADOS KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN A CRACK AFTER BUYING A VISOR. NOTE: I JUST GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER AND THEY WANT THE WINDOW PEEVES FOR AN INVESTIGATION. I SWEPT THEM UP AND PUT THEM IN THE TRASH! OOPS! I WILL BRING THEM UP ANYWAY AND TAKE IT FROM THERE. *TR

MY 84 YEAR OLD FATHER HIT A DEER ON THE RIGHT FRONT BUMPER OF HIS 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ GOING 55 MPH ON OCTOBER 30, 2014. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVERS AIR BAG. THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IN ADDITION TO THE DRIVERS AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING, THERE WAS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER. MY FATHER TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO JAMES WOOD MOTORS DECATUR, 2111 S HWY 287, DECATUR, TX 76234, TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THEY TALKED HIM INTO TRADING HIS 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ WRECKED VEHICLE FOR A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ. [XXX] TOLD MY FATHER THAT THEY WOULD BE SALVAGING THE VEHICLE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THEY ENCOURAGED HIM TO TRADE IN HIS WRECKED VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TRADE IN VALUE WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE CRASH. KEEP IN MIND THAT MY FATHER HAD A LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM WITH TRADING IN VEHICLES FOR NEWER ONES AND THEY KNEW THAT MY FATHER WAS VERY CONCERNED WITH THE TRADE-IN VALUE OF HIS VEHICLE. THEY NEVER DISCUSSED WITH MY FATHER THE FACT THAT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. TODAY, I RAN A CAR FAX CHECK ON MY FATHER'S CRASHED VEHICLE AND THE REPORT SHOWS: NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED, NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE REPORTED, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT REPORTED. ALSO, THE CAR FAX REPORT SHOWS A NEW OWNER FROM GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS, THAT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 3-36-2015. I THINK IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT JAMES WOOD MOTORS DECATUR TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY FATHER BECAUSE OF HIS AGE, ENCOURAGED HIM TO TRADE IN HIS WRECKED VEHICLE AND THEN THEY TURNED AROUND AND SOLD THE VEHICLE TO SOMEONE WITHOUT REPORTING ANY OF THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE FACT THAT THE DRIVERS AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SINCE DAY ONE I NOTICED THAT THE VOICE COMMANDS WERE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING PROPER VOICE COMMANDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2/20/14 THEY SAID IT WAS MY PHONE.IT TAKES ME A GOOD SOLID 3-5 MINUTES TO GET A PHONE CALL OUT BECAUSE OF THE VOICE RECOGNITION DOESN'T WORK . I WOULD ALSO NOTICE THAT ON PANDORA IT WOULD SAY ACQUIRING NET WORK SERVICE. THEN FROM THAT, ONTO IT SAYING NETWORK ERROR.THAT HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT EVERY TIME I TRY TO USE IT I HAVE TO TURN BLUE TOOTH OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN CONNECT IT ALL OVER AGAIN. SOMETIMES I CAN HEAR PEOPLE AND THEY CANT HERE ME. ON 4/08/14 AGAIN I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER FOR THE BLUETOOTH PROBLEM. MY FRONT HEADLAMPS GET MOISTURE IN THEM WHEN I WASH MY TRUCK ON. 3/13/14 THEY REPLACED MY LEFT HEADLAMP, STILL THE MOISTURE HAPPENS.WHEN TURNING ON THE TRUCK FROM PARK AND ENGAGING ON DRIVE A LOUD CLUNK AND A TOUGH MOVEMENT MAKES THE TRUCK FEEL LIKE ITS SWINGING FROM N TO S. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2/20/14 AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. JANUARY OF 2014 - APRIL 2014 THERE WERE 20 TIMES THAT MY TRUCK WENT INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES FOR RECALLS THATS 24 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS FOR A NEW TRUCK I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT ON 4/20/2014 AND 50 PARTS WERE PUT INTO THE TRUCK TO REPAIR IT. IT TOOK THE DEALER SELMAN 3 MONTHS BEFORE I HAD TO CALL AND ASK WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE CLUELESS. ON TOP OF ALL THAT I HAD TO DENIED THE TRUCK 8 TIMES BECAUSE OF WRONG PARTS THAT WERE PUT ON. THEY CHANGED MY WHOLE FRONT END . THE LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN THEY WANT, IT SOUND LIKE LOSE PARTS IN SIDE THE DASH.THE TRUCK SHAKES ON FREEWAY GOING 40-60MPH I HAVE THAT ON VIDEO. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK. I FEEL THAT I AM BEING DISCRIMINATED AT SELMAN SINCE THEY TREAT ME DIFFERENT. I WANT SOMEONE TO HELP ME LOOK INTO THIS TRUCK IT IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND WANTED A BUY BACK BUT THEY SAID NO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THAT OPTION. *TR

WHEN TRUCK REACHES SPEED OF 70 MPH OR HIGHER THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING. IT FEELS LIKE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL HAS PROBLEMS. DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES AND SAID IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT AND STEERING COLUMN WAS REPAIRED TWICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING FAILED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TURNED. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TWO SETS OF NEW TIRES AND BOTH SETS FAILED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. UPDATED 7/29/15*CN UPDATED 10/06/2017*CN

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND SIGNIFICANT, IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS. AT NO TIME DID THE AIRBAGS WITHIN THE VEHICLE DEPLOY, WHICH FURTHER CONTRIBUTED TO THE INJURY OF THE DRIVER. *TR

THE VEHICLE IGNITION TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING (VEHICLE IN MOTION) CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. GM DOES NOT LIST THIS MODEL AS PART OF ITS RECALL AND WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO A DEALER AND HAVING IT REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

WHILE RETURNING FROM A TRIP PULLING MY CAMPER TRAILER ON JULY 15, 2014, THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED (NO BRAKES TO CAMPER), WITH MESSAGE "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM". DEALER REPLACED THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. TRAILER BRAKES WORKED FINE UNTIL MARCH 27, 2015 WHEN TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN WHILE PULLING MY CAMPER AND HAD MESSAGE "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM". BOTH TIMES AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM IS RESTORED BUT WILL FAIL AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 45MPH THE VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 6 CYLINDERS TO 4 CYLINDERS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN 4 CYLINDER MODE AND IT HAD TO ACCELERATE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT STARTED TO VIOLENTLY VIBRATE (SORRY BUT THAT??S THE BEST DESCRIPTION I CAN GIVE) ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM CHEVROLET SO FAR HAS CHANGED THE TIRES, REALIGNED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, REPLACED THE EXHAUST CLAMPS, ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM. NONE OF THESE HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. *TR
