2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

Lifter failure happened while traveling home from Florida to SC. I was towing a vehicle and barely made it home. Having to drive at low speeds on the interstate put me at risk for accident. Now that I’m home I’m losing money because I have been unable to work due to not being able to drive the truck. The dealership quoted me $4700 to fix when there is a known class action lawsuit for this exact problem. GM should just replace these motors. This is very dangerous. There were no prior warning signs it just started ticking after stopping for fuel.

The transmission and transfer case malfunctioned and then failed. It was out in 4wd low to grab a trailer out of our field and I pulled back onto the driveway, put the truck back into neutral, and lost all gears. The truck wouldn’t shift or move at all. Purchased a transfer case motor and installed, but the truck would barely move so I hauled it to a shop for further inspection. Upon inspection of the vehicle I was told that the transmission needs replacing. When the truck initially stopped shifting out of neutral it rolled down the hill and I had to run after it before it hit my fiancé and dog. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than myself and the certified technicians at the shop I towed it to. There were no warning lamps or messages or anything else until after the new transfer case motor was installed at the shop. Then the “service 4wd” warning came on. The truck will now shift itself into neutral when it is driven.

The torque converter has failed and less then 200,000 miles. It has caused damage to valves in the transmission. It is only on the 6L80 transmissions from GM. I have had Coleman Taylor which is a transmission shop in Tennessee look at it. They have informed me that it is the most common issue they see with that particular transmission before the failure should occur. I have spoken to multiple people with Chevrolet Silverado trucks with varying years from 2014- 2018 having to have transmissions rebuilt or replaced as soon as 70,000 miles all the way up to 150,000 for the same failure. The safety concern for myself and others on the road is the transmission can suddenly lock up due to the transmission failing. I have spoken with express Chevrolet in Covington TN the service department informed myself that there was no active recall but they feel that there should be. There was no warning that this was going to happen. The truck and transmission are sitting at my home currently and available for inspection at your earliest convenience
