2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHILE REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE JUMP FORWARD (AS BEING REAR ENDED) AT OTHER TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE PARKING VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD. VEHICLE ACTS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING THEN LUNGES FORWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED THAT PROBLEMS ARE A NORMAL AND ARE A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF VEHICLE OPERATING AS DESIGNED. DEALERSHIP THEN GAVE ME A LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS OF PAST ISSUES THAT WERE NOT PART OF MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. VEHICLE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH LESS THAN 800 MILES NOW HAS 1800. VEHICLE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

1.AVERAGE GAS MILEAGE BETWEEN 10 TO 12MPG ON FREEWAY WHICH IS NOWHERE NEAR WHAT WAS SHOWN ON THE STICKER. 2.RADIO NOT WORKING/LOCKS UP, CONSTANT SYSTEM ERRORS, AND DISPLAY SCREEN GOING BLACK OR GREEN AT RANDOM. 3.MYLINK SYSTEM NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, WON'T TAKE VOICE COMMANDS & SHOWS ERROR MESSAGES ON SCREEN. THE COMPUTER WILL COMPLETELY LOCK UP & BECOME UNRESPONSIVE UNTIL RESTART. 4.NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCREEN TURNS SOLID GREY & LOCKS UP AT RANDOM. 5.BACKUP CAMERA IS COMING ON & THE SCREEN THEN TURNS BLACK WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN DRIVE, SHOWS ERROR MESSAGES. 6.LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM NOT WORKING/DETECTING DRIVERS SIDE LINES ON ROAD WHEN CROSSED. 7.DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S FRONT SEATS FEEL LOOSE AT MOUNTING BRACKETS WHILE DRIVING (ROCKS BACK AND FORTH). 8.HEATED/COOLED SEATS NOT COOLING. 9.TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY, MISSES GEARS ON ACCELERATION; CONSTANT SLIPS & CLUNKS' FROM POWERTRAIN WHILE AT ROAD SPEED. 10.TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER WON'T DISENGAGE FROM ENGINE PROPERLY WHEN BRAKING & PUSHES THE TRUCK UNDER ENGINE POWER, TO A STOP AT RANDOM TIMES. THE ECM/TCM IS HAVING COMMUNICATION ERRORS OR PROBLEMS CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AT RANDOM UNPREDICTABLE INTERVALS TO DRIVERS. 11.ENGINE MISSES/STALLS WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS AT RANDOM: FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN MERGING INTO ONCOMING FREEWAY TRAFFIC OR TURNING OUT OF PARKING LOTS. AGAIN, THE ECM/TCM IS HAVING SOME SORT OF SOFTWARE COMMUNICATION ERROR WHICH IS CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AT RANDOM UNPREDICTABLE INTERVALS TO DRIVERS. FREEWAY MERGING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION NOT ONLY TO THE PASSENGERS OF THE UNRESPONSIVE VEHICLE BUT TO THE PASSENGERS/DRIVERS IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. -TRUCK JUST BOUGHT BACK BY GM AT OUR LOSS. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO IN JUNE AND AFTER DRIVING A FEW HUNDRED MILES, I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS NOT VERY COMFORTABLE ON LONG TRIPS. SOON AFTER A NOISE WAS COMING FROM UNDER SEAT. DEALER REPLACED SEAT TRACK BUT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND MY SEAT CUSHION CAME UNATTACHED. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOISE IS STILL APPARENT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEATS BEING UNCOMFORTABLE AND I CAN CONFIRM. WHY IS CHEVROLET PUTTING OUT THIS TYPE OF VEHICLES AND EXPECT PEOPLE TO BUY. IF YOU ARE READING THIS DO NOT BUY A CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCK. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!! *TR

PURCHASED MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AT THE END OF JUNE 2014 AND BY JULY 2014 WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK MY TRUCK EXPERIENCE A SEVERE VIBRATION THAT SHOOKED MY ENTIRE INTERIOR AND ESPECIALLY MY CENTER CONSOLE. TOOK MY TRUCK TO TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY MY TRUCK DRIVES AND HANDLES NORMALLY. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS, I DECIDED TO WRITE MY OWN COMPLAINT. CHEVY CORPORATION NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE ANY TRAGIC INCIDENT HAPPE NS LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL THAT INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED AND NOW THEY ARE PAYING MEGA BUCKS. ALSO REQUESTING OTHER OWNERS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO OTHER TRUCK BUYERS WILL STAY AWAY FROM CHEVROLET AUTOMOBILES ENTIRELY. MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL PROBABLY A FOREIGN BECAUSE I AM HAVING TO MANY PROBLEMS AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. THANKS ALOT CHEVY, FROM SOON TO BE EX-CHEVROLET OWNER. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND TRAVELING BETWEEN 70-75. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO FEEL ROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THEM. THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING AIR OR GAS AND WOULD DIE. AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP IT SHIFTED ROUGHLY, WOULD ONLY GO 55, WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE CODE WAS FOR A MISS FIRE ON PLUG 6. THEY CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PLUG OR WIRES HAD BECOME LOOSE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A VALVE SPRING AND LATER DECIDED IT WAS A BENT PUSH ROD AND HAVE DISASSEMBLED THE HEAD TO INSPECT FURTHER. THEY ARE CONTACTING THE ENGINEERING DEPT. AT GM TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS OUR SECOND TRUCK THIS YEAR. OUR FIRST WAS A 2014 SILVERADO 1500 2X4, PURCHASED IN MAY W/ 4000 MILES, ROLLED DOWN A HILL ON JULY 26TH AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHILE UNOCCUPIED, LOCKED AND IN PARK. GM WAS "UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG", AND CLOSED OUR CASE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THIS IS OUR REPLACEMENT TRUCK. WE TOOK A LOSS BUT UPGRADED TO THE 4X4 BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN COVERED IN THE RECALL OF JUNE 27, 2014 "IN EFFECTED VEHICLES, AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL SHORT MAY CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WITH OUT THE DRIVER'S INPUT." WE HAVEN'T EVEN MADE OUR FIRST PAYMENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 27TH 2014 AND HAD A BAD VIBRATION ON THE DRIVE HOME. IT HAS A WOBBLE SENSATION AT 35-45 MPH FELT STRONGEST AT 43 MPH THAT FEELS LIKE IT HAS A BENT WHEEL BUT IT DOESNT. WHEN YOU GET TO 65-70 MPH THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION FROM THE TRUCK FELT STRONGEST AT 68 MPH AND IT ONLY OCCURS ON SMOOTH LEVEL ROADS AND EVEN CHANGING LANES DOES NOT CHANGE THE VIBRATION AT ALL SO IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS OTHER THEN BEING FLAT AND SMOOTH. THE DEALER HAS MADE FIVE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT ALREADY AND CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO TRY TO FIX IT ANYMORE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT ONE OUT OF FIVE GM TRUCKS (CHEVY & GMC) HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE REPORTING THIS YET. DO NOT BUY OR LET ANYONE YOU KNOW BUY A CHEVY & GMC TRUCK IN THE 2014 OR 2015 YEARS, 1 IN 5 ARE LEMONS THE VIBRATIONS ARE SO BAD THAT IT WILL MAKE YOU CAR SICK AFTER A FEW MILES AND CAN AGGRAVATE EXISTING CONDITIONS SUCH AS PEOPLE WITH BACK ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM ALSO GREATLY REDUCES THE TRADE-IN OR RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL MAKE SELLING IT YOURSELF VERY PROBLEMATIC IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF YOU LOOK ON YOUTUBE YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO POST SOME VIDEOS TO SHOW THIS VIBRATION PROBLEM. *TR

UPON DELIVERY OF NEW 2014 CREW CAB SILVERADO, WITH 21 MILES, FRAME RUST WAS OCCURRING AND COATING WAS PEELING OFF. GM IS AWARE OF ISSUE AND HAS A TSB, #PI0564D, BUT DEALERSHIPS ARE RELUCTANT OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST WITH HEAVY ROAD SALTING AND BEFORE THE TRUCK HAS EVEN SEEN WET PAVEMENT, THE FRAME IS RUSTING DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECTS DURING THE ASSEMBLY. I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GET SATISFACTORY REPAIR WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. GM CAN NOT CLAIM, LIKE THEY WANT TO, THAT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES CAUSING RUST ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS FRAME RUST IS OCCURRING AT THE FACTORY DUE TO ASSEMBLY LINE DEFECTS PROBABLY RELATED TO NOT WASHING/TREATING THE FRAMES PRIOR TO COATING THEM. *TR

VEHICLE VIBRATION AND WHISTLING NOISE AT 60-55 MPH DECELERATING. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP--THEY HAVE ORDERED A DRIVE SHAFT TO REPLACE THE IMPERFECT SHAFT THEY STATE IS ON THE TRUCK. SERIOUSLY, HAVE HAD THE TRUCK A WEEK NOW--GM WILL BE NOTIFIED AND WHOEVER ELSE I CAN FIND THAT HAS A HAND IN THIS. NOT PAYING FOR THIS TRUCK, CHECKING WITH ATTORNEY. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION THAT IS FELT THRU OUT THE STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR PAN AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT CAUSES THE MIDDLE CONSOLE TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE WILL CAUSE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE AT A LATER DATE. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO LET ME TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE AT MY FULL EXPENSE, AND STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS ACTING AS DESIGNED. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR
