2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I WAS TRAVELING UP AN INCLINE WHEN VEHICLE STARTED JUMPING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS STABILITY OR SKID CONTROL AND WHEN TURNING ON TURN SIGNAL THE WIPERS CAME ON. DID NOT FEEL SAFE BUT DROVE TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP WITH VEHICLE JUMPING AND MISSING OUT, ABOUT 4 BLOCKS. DIAGNOSES WAS FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR AT 4577 MILES ON VEHICLE. AFTER PICKING UP VEHICLE WHEN REPAIR WAS DONE IT MISSED OUT AGAIN BUT NO ENGINE LIGHT. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOPE THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE ONGOING ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE ALERTED IT WAS LOW ON AIR. STOPPED AND CHECKED AIR PRESSURE BUT IT WAS OK. I RETURNED HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE WAS FLAT. SWAPPED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE AIR PRESSURE DISPLAY ON THE TRUCK IS REVERSED. THE INDICATOR FOR THE FRONT TIRE IS SHOWING THE REAR TIRE. THE REAR TIRE IS SHOWING THE PRESSURE FOR THE FRONT TIRE. THEY ARE FIXING IT NOW, NOT SURE OF THE TROUBLE YET. *TR

PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT MY TRUCK HAD 6 RECALLS. ALMOST ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN FOR ?SOFTWARE? ISSUES. THE LATEST PROBLEM IS WHAT I AM WRITING TO YOU ABOUT AND I BELIEVE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IF IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF HANDLING IT, IT COULD EASILY BE FATAL TO ONE OR MORE INDIVIDUALS. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IS AS FOLLOWS: THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS EVE I DROVE TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET TO PICK UP SOME LAST MINUTE STUFF AND AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I PULLED OUT ONTO A BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO TURN LEFT. PART WAY INTO THE TURN I HEARD A ?CLUNK? IN THE FRONT ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND IMMEDIATELY THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WRENCHED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I WAS FORCED TO BRAKE SHARPLY. I WAS, OBVIOUSLY TAKEN BY SURPRISE BY THE INCIDENT AND GRABBED THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND WRESTLED THE 6,000 LB TRUCK AROUND THE TURN, RUNNING OVER THE CURB ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM A REASONABLY FIT 6?4? 225 LB MALE AND I MUST TELL YOU THAT IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO TO TURN THE WHEEL AND PREVENT ME FROM RUNNING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY DEALERSHIP WAS 4 MILES FROM ME AND I WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE MY WAY THERE WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES. I GOT THE TRUCK THERE AND TOLD THE SERVICE PEOPLE WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID HAVE A SEAT IN THE WAITING ROOM AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. 25 MINUTES LATER A REP CAME OUT AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. ANOTHER SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE. YESTERDAY, JAN 5 THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THIS TIME I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. ONCE AGAIN I WAS CLOSE TO MY DEALER AND WAS ABLE TO DROP THE TRUCK OFF IN THEIR LOT. THEY ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY SO I CALLED THEM TODAY AND I AM WAITING FOR THEM TO ?FIX? IT AGAIN. I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT. UPDATED 03/04/15*LJ UPDATED 10/8/2015*JS

BOUGHT A NEW 2014 CHEVY PICKUP WITH FOUR (4) MILES ON IT AND IT HAS A VIBRATION THAT THE DEALER CAN NOT REPAIR (3) TIMES IT NOW HAS 736 MILES MOSTLY PUT ON BY THE DEALER. THE MORE I DRIVE IT THE WORSE IT GETS, GM & CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION HAVE BEEN NO HELP! *JS

WAS TOWING A TRAILER, STOPPED AND FILLED UP WITH GAS. AS LEAVING THE GAS STATION, DASH LIGHTS DIMMED AND BRIGHTENED ON THEIR OWN, THEN WASHER PUMP STARTED SQUIRTING FLUID WITHOUT WIPER BLADES MOVING. WASHER PUMP CONTINUED SQUIRTING TILL THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AND BURNED THE PUMP. AFTERWARDS, ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, EXCEPT FOR THE DASH LIGHTS. ALSO, LOST ALL PARKING, HEAD LAMPS, TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE 2014 SILVERADO 1500, EXCEPT FOR HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP, WHICH WAS STUCK ON BRIGHT, AS IF BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. UPON READING OWNERS MANUAL, THERE IS A REFERENCE TO LOOSING LIGHTS UNDER "ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD". ALL ELECTRONICS BEING USED WAS FACTORY INSTALLED, OTHER THAN THE TRAILER THAT WAS BEING PULLED. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED A BODY CONTROL MODULE. ONE WEEK AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE DASH LIGHTS HAVE DIMMED AND BRIGHTENED ON THEIR OWN AGAIN, THEREFORE, I AM AFRAID TO HOOK MY TRAILER BACK UP IN FEAR OF LOOSING ALL MY LIGHTS AGAIN, OR WORSE, DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, WASHER PUMP STARTS SQUIRTING FLUID AND GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER TALKING TO GM DIRECTLY, THEY CANNOT PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY THEY WOULD REFERENCE THE "LOOSING LIGHTS UNDER ELECTRICAL OVERLOAD" IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BECAUSE OF A KNOWN DEFECT OR ISSUE THAT WOULD HINDER THEIR PROFITS. *JS

THE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS ON THE 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71 DOUBLE CAB 1500 TRUCKS DO NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION. THEY DO EXTEND UP SOME BUT NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN EXTENDED UP, THEY ALSO DO NOT EXTEND UP HIGH ENOUGH FOR EVEN A 5' 8" PERSONS HEAD. THE REST STILL ALLOWS THE PASSENGERS HEAD TO HIT THE REAR WINDOW. WHEN ONE RESTS THEIR HEAD BACK THE REST EASILY GOES DOWN AND DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE. REAR IMPACTS WOULD DEFINITELY RESULT IN A HEAD INJURY. OTHERS ON VARIOUS CHEVROLET ONLINE FORUMS HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT LET ADULTS RIDE IN THE REAR DOUBLE CAB AREA OF THE TRUCK. I CAN SEND YOU A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM IF YOU LIKE. EMAIL: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SMOKE WAS ALSO EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR SEALS HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 950.

I OWN A 2014 CHEVY Z71 THAT HAD A SHERROD LIFT PACKAGE INSTALLED AT THERE FACTORY AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER FOR EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND THE SECOND TIME IT WAS IN THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT ALL 4 BRAKE LINES WERE ABOUT TO BURST DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR AND INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LIFT. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE ALOT OF THESE TRUCKS ON THE MARKET AND HAD I DROVE IT ANOTHER WEEK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR ME OR SOMEONE I HIT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO ADDRESSED DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE. THE DEALER DEADLINED MY VEHICLE DUE TO A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR AND CONTACTED SHERROD. AS OF YET I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SHERROD ABOUT THE REPAIR. ITS THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. IF THE ONE I OWNED WAS DONE INCORRECTLY BUT TO SPECS ACCORDING TO SHERROD THAN IN 7000 MILES IF MINE WERE WITHIN DAYS OF BURSTING THAN SO ARE THERES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE LINES IF SOMEONE NEEDS THEM. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE OR LIVES WILL AND ARE AT STEAK. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT LANDERS CHEVROLET, BENTON, AR 72015, ON 10/30/14. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE OIL. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2014, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE STREET AT A RATE OF 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATES THAT THE BACK TIRES ARE WORN WHICH INDICATES ABUSE. GM WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE CONTACTED THEM, THE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE STATED THAT THE TIRES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM THEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEIR GM REP. STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE TIRES. WE CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVE CALLED US BACK, THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY BASED ON THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
