2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500, LTZ, Z71 STARTED TO HAVE NUMEROUS ISSUES SINCE THIS PAST APRIL. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE UNETHICAL LANDERS MCCLARTY CHEVROLET IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA SEVEN TIMES WITH ONLY THE SMALLEST OF THE ISSUES BEING FIXED. 1ST ISSUE WAS THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT MOVED WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO FIX AND THAT THE SEAT WAS WITHIN MANUFACTURES SPECS. THE SEAT MOVED TO THE POINT THAT THE VENTILATED SEAT COOLER PLUG DISCONNECTED. THE SERVICE DEPT EVENTUALLY "FIXED" THE SEAT AND RECONNECTED THE PLUG. LASTLY THE ISSUE I CANNOT GET RESOLVED THROUGH GM CORPORATE, DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT OR THE REGIONAL GM MANAGER. MY TRUCK "SHAKES" FROM SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND GREATER. THE SERVICE DEPT FIRST TOLD ME I NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT AND HAVE THE TIRE ROTATED AND BALANCED. THE SHAKE STILL CONTINUED, SO I COMPLAINED AGAIN TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT TWO TIRES WHERE "BAD" DO TO ROAD FORCE AND REPLACED THEM. THE TRUCK STILL SHAKES LIKE A STRIPPER SO I EMAILED THE CEO OF GM ON 11 JULY AND ASSIGNED AN EXECUTIVE LIAISON TO WORK THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE. EACH TIME I WAS CALLED A LIAR INDIRECTLY BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER "[XXX]" AND THE DISTRICT MANAGER "[XXX]" AFTER THEY TEST DROVE THE TRUCK AND COULDN'T REPLICATE THE COMPLAINT. I HAD THE SERVICE DEPT FOREMAN "[XXX]" RIDE ALONG WITH ME AS I DROVE THE TRUCK AND POINTED OUT THE "VERY" NOTICEABLE SHAKE AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO THE SERVICE DEPT, GM CORPORATE, I FOUND OUT THAT THE SERVICE DEPT CAN UTILIZE A VIBRATION ANALYZER ON THE TRUCK. THIS HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE OR EVEN CONSIDERED. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH THE SHAKING BECOMING WORSE WITH EACH MILE. JUST LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, GM DOWN PLAYS THE ISSUE AND LETS THE PROBLEM COMPOUND. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH WHEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH LIKE A FOULED OUT PLUG, SO I WAS CLOSE TO MY HOME BUT BEFORE I GOT THERE THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING EVEN ROUGHER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT HAVE IT TOWED VIA CHEVYS 2 YEAR ROAD ASSISTANCE, SO I CALLED AND AFTER WAITING AND CALLING BACK 5 TIMES I CALLED MY OWN TOW SERVICE AND GOT IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY SAID A CODE FOR ENGINE MISFIRE CYLINDER # 5 AND REPLACED BAD WIRE WITH A NEW ONE. ON MY TICKET IT SAYS BULLETIN PIP5159. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME USUALLY THESE PLUG WIRES HAD BEEN FAILING ON TRUCKS WITH LESS MILES THEN MINE. SO I ASKED IF THE OTHER WIRES COULD FAIL AND HE SAID YES-SO BE AWARE AND READY FOR MORE TO FAIL. *TR

THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE NEW, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT TWILIGHT AS THE DAY IS ENDING. THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS GO OUT. NOTHING WILL GET THEM BACK WITH THE AUTO SWITCH ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, RESTART AND THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED DURING DAYLIGHT THAT I KNOW OF AND HAS NOT HAPPENED AFTER FULL DARK. *JS

2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRIVER SEAT CONTROLS MOVED TO A DIFFERENT POSITION AND OUTSIDE MIRRORS COLLAPSED WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. ALSO, THE DOORS WERE NOT AS TIGHT AS ADVERTISED, AS WATER AND SALT ENTERED THE VEHICLE. *JB

AT LESS THAN 2,000 MILES, THE FRAME AND REAR AXLE IS RUSTING THROUGH THE "PROTECTIVE" WAX COATING. WHERE MY DEALER PLACED JACK POINTS WHEN JACKING UP THE VEHICLE DURING PRE-SALE INSPECTION, THERE ARE DISTINCT RUST MARKS IN THE SHAPE OF THE JACK POINT. THE AXLE HAS RUST SPOTS INCREASING IN SIZE EVERY WEEK. THE FRAME HAS RUST SPOTS INCREASING IN SIZE AND APPARENT SEVERITY EVERY WEEK. THE WAX COATING IS OFTEN FOUND IN FLAKES UNDER MY TRUCK IN MY GARAGE IN THE MORNING. I HAD A 2011 SILVERADO THAT, AT 22K, HAD ZERO FRAME RUST AND IT WAS EXPOSED NUMEROUS TIMES TO CHICAGO AND MINNEAPOLIS WINTERS, INCLUDING THE HEAVY ROAD SALT. THIS NEW TRUCK HAS NEVER LEFT GEORGIA SINCE ITS PURCHASE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THIS VEHICLE OVER TIME IF THE FRAME WILL RUST AS MUCH AS IT HAS IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE AT 50K MI.? *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 MPH +, THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE VERY BADLY TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN NOT DRIVE SO FAST. IT COMES AND GOES AND WHEN IT COMES BACK SOMETIMES EVEN AT REDUCED SPEEDS OF 65MPH THE VEHICLE STILL VIBRATES VERY BAD. I HAVE INFORMED GM OF MY ISSUE AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING. REALLY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD THAT IT CAN NUMB YOUR BODY BY THE END OF YOUR DRIVE OR DISTRACT YOU ENOUGH TO CRASH. I DRIVE UP TO 9 HOURS WITH MY VEHICLE FOR WORK AND IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO SEE IF I CAN GET HELP TO STOP THIS ISSUE FROM HAPPENING. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, GM IS IGNORING THEM AS WELL. *TR
