2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

The power steering went out without warning. The power steering system failed without warning during operation. There was a recall for this in 2017 but my VIN number is not included in this recall.

Steering assistance failed during slow speed turn into side street. Vehicle stalled with no power to steer or brake. Engine turned off allowing vehicle to dead stick accross two lanes of traffic for opposite direction. Vehicle came to rest in parking lot nearby. Had there been vehicles in those lanes an accident would have occurred. Dash board monitor gives signals that "stability track" off and check engine have issues. In August of 2017 received recall letter from GM citing problem with EPS (electric power steering). Took vehicle to Serpentini Chevy on August 13th 2017 and they reprogramed EPS Module. Milage at this time was 20,085. They did not charge for repair. In 2017 my vehicle had no symptoms of recall. Now in 2022 this EPS problem is happening with milage 54,000 twice almost causing MVA.

For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have never even used the trailer brake. Whe. The warning started i took the truck tk get checked they replaced everything but the wire harness and still every other day i get the warning. Thankfully it has not caused an accident yet but the warning is non stop once it starts.I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.

Dash lights flicker, head lights flicker, loses electrical power randomly, loses power steering at low speeds and electrical power.

I was driving as I usually do , this time I was in my car I had just financed and bought 3 weeks before. There was no signs or warning lights before this incident. I was driving when suddenly it wouldn’t go in to gear or any gear at all and realized my transmission was failing . I then drove it and tried to get to safe spot trying to avoid any crashes delays or other accidents. I was glad to be close by to a safe spot and not going at a fast speed on freeway or Main Street when this occurred and avoided an accident. My truck was then towed into the dealership mechanics and was waiting for a report and turns out the truck needs a transmission replacement. During the Transmission tear down and inspect they Found clutch assembly gear 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse plates all damaged. Plates missing teeth and burnt. Excessive metal inside torque converter, and valve body. Clutch drum damaged and burnt. I am now just researching recalls for 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and realized that there is a recall for power train on transmission. Stated “The subject vehicles may have a transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in the fitting.” And the Recall consequence is “If the line is not securely seated and transmission oil leaks from the fitting, the oil could contact a hot surface and cause a vehicle fire.” By reading my experience with my trucks transmission failing and having multiple parts inside “burnt” Has me wondering if my truck was part of this recall and how worse it could have been if it would have caught in fire. My dealership failed to mention any problems and stated they “take every vehicle through a mechanical inspection and smog Saftey.” I can’t believe only 3 weeks of having this truck and no warning signs and to just completely just shut off and have the transmission destroyed/burnt is a horrible experience.

For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have driven this vehicle since it's original purchase and have never even used the trailer brake. (Even though it's been titled twice - I purchased it from the company I work for.) Thankfully it has not caused any accidents. Just an annoyance. But I have been reading online that some owners have been unable to operate their vehicles due to this issue. This is not a daily driver vehicle but today was the most recent episode with the warning. I drove maybe a couple of miles total and it chimed and notified me approximately 20 times in this short distance. I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.

Trailer brake system keep coming on it is starting to become unbearable and I can barely drive my truck, it comes on at least 20 times while I’m driving on a day so over 100 times in a week
