2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

PULLED THE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT REGISTER AS IT WAS IN PARK BUT RATHER SEEMED TO BE IN NEUTRAL. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MOVED THE GEAR SHIFTER TO ENSURE IT WAS INDEED IN PARK, IT WAS IN PARK. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND CONFIRMED THAT THE TRUCK WAS DISPLAYING P (PARK) ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

PICKED UP NEW SILVERADO WITH 150 OR SO MILES ON WEDNESDAY 4/16/14. DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TRUCK WOULDN'T START. EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND ELECTRONICS WORK BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER TO START. TOTALLY DEAD. DEALER HAD ME CALL CHEVY ROADSIDE AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED SOME FUSE BOX PARTS AND BROUGHT TRUCK BACK ON FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY 4/23. HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER AND DEALER CAME BACK AND PICKED THIS UP. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE TRUCK FOR A FULL WEEK WITH NO COMMITMENT TO WHEN IT WILL BE READY OR GUARANTEE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. CURRENTLY DEALER WORKING WITH CHEVY ENGINEERS TO TROUBLESHOOT PROBLEM. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE THIS DEALER HAS HEARD ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW ON FEBRUARY 13, 2014 WITH APPROXIMATELY 33 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON APRIL 23, 2014, I NOTICED THAT THE BLACK WAX COATING ON THE FRAME WAS PEELING OFF AND RUST WAS DEVELOPING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THIS REPAIRED THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. IN THE MEAN TIME I'VE BEEN INSPECTING OTHER 2014 SILVERADOS ON DEALERSHIP LOTS AND I NOTICED RUST DEVELOPING ON THOSE FRAMES IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AS WELL. AFTER CONSULTING WITH A DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THOUGH A BRAND NEW TRUCK SHOULD NOT BE RUSTING LIKE THIS AND I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS REGARDING THE LONG TERM QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AS A RESULT. *TR

SEVERE RUST OVER ENTIRE VEHICLE FRAME. BLACK PAINT FLAKING OFF EVERYWHERE AND SEVERE CORROSION WHERE WIRING HARNESSES GROUND TO FRAME. WAX COATING ALMOST DOES NOT EXIST. *JS

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2014 LTZ DOUBLE CAB REFLECTS THE CLIMATIC CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS BACK TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR DURING NIGHT DRIVING. THE REFLECTION IS A SEVERE DISTRACTION DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN NO ONE IS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND YOU WITH THEIR LIGHTS ON. GM IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE HAD THE DEALERSHIP (LOTSPEICH IN WARRENSBURG, MO 64093) IN CONTACT WITH GM. GM DIRECTION IS TO TURN DOWN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS, THAT WOULD BE OFF, TO REDUCE/ELIMINATE REFLECTION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING/DESIGN ISSUE CAUSING, WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE, A SAFETY CONCERN. TO KEEP THIS REFLECTION FROM DISTRACTING ME I TURN MY MIRROR DOWN, SHIFTING THE REFLECTION, PROBLEM IS I KNOW CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW COLLAPSED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON WINDING ROADS, THE STEERING DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN THE TURN IS FINISHED. THE STEERING "STICKS" AND THE WHEEL NEEDS TO BE PUSHED BACK TO CENTER. THE STEERING STICKS HARD AND IT TAKES CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO RETURN THE WHEEL TO CENTER, SOMETIMES RESULTING IN AN OVERCORRECTION, AND LOSS OF LANE POSITION. THE TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP CENTERED IN THE LANE WHEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND ON WINDING ROADS. GENTLE CURVES DO NOT PRODUCE THE PROBLEM, BUT THE WINDING INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS OF KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, AND NORTH CAROLINA DO. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 7000 MILES ON IT, AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. *TR

WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND SIDE LANE JUST WENT THROUGH A INTERSECTION. LESS THEN A MINUTE LATER THE TIRE BURST AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS FORCED TO THE RIGHT AND I HIT THE CURB, BENDING AND DENTING MY WHEEL. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR GO OVER ANYTHING. GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. HAD TO CALL A MECHANIC FRIEND TO COME AND HELP TAKE THE WHEEL AND TIRE OFF AND PUT MY SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE ON. WHEN THE TIRE CAME OFF THERE WAS NO NAILS OR SIGN OF IMPACT ON THE TIRE. ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRE THAT FACES THE MOTOR THERE IS A 3-5 INCH SKINNY JAGGED CRACK STRAIGHT LINE ON THE SIDE WALL PART. I ALWAYS KEEP PLENTY OF AIR IN MY TIRES THERE WAS NO TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS ON THE CAR BEFORE I LEFT. I HAVE A SCREEN SHOT OF MY TIRE PRESSURE AN HOUR BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED TO MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE IS DEFECTIVE BUT THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WITH WON'T DO ANYTHING. THEY STATE I MUST HAVE HAD LET THE TIRE PRESSURE GET LOW OR I MUST OF HIT SOMETHING. I HAVE PROOF MY PRESSURE WAS FINE AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. THE CRACK IS ON THE INNER PART OF THE WALL IF I WOULD HIT SOMETHING IT WOULD BEEN ON THE TREAD PART OR ON THE OUTER WALL. *TR
