2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

My truck has developed a radiator leak after 39930 miles. I see from reading on the Internet this is a very common problem with this year of truck. Chevrolet even has a recall to replace the radiator but says my truck is not included. The recall notice is #15829. This ends up being a very expensive repair. I have been quoted $1428.00 by a Chevrolet dealer to replace radiator.

I CHOSE A USED 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 180K MILES. I MET MY SALESPERSON, BERNARD, ON SITE AT PUGMIRE FORD, IN CARROLLTON, GA. WHEN I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, THE TRUCK HAD OFF ROAD TIRES, SO I REQUESTED THAT PUGMIRE PUT REGULAR TIRES ON THE TRUCK BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION. THEY AGREED AND THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED A FEW DAYS LATER. SOON AFTER DELIVERY, I NOTICED A SOFT NOISE SEEMINGLY COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I INFORMED MY SALESPERSON BERNARD OF THE ISSUE. HE ASKED ME TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK FOR REVIEW. I DID & BERNARD TOLD ME 'IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT WILL GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DRIVECYCLES'. I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM SO I HAD THE OBD CHECKED, THAT INDICATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD FAILED. I SENT THE DOCUMENT TO BERNARD, THEN I ASKED IF THE VEHICLE HAD A RECENT EMISSIONS INSPECTION, HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE APOLOGIZED, BUT STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT, I REMINDED BERNARD 1. IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT PASS EMISSIONS 2. THAT MY BANK HAD NOT YET MAILED THE CHECK. WITH THAT MIND, PUGMIRE FORD FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SO I AGREED TO AUTHORIZE MY BANK TO SEND THE CHECK. PUGMIRE HAD ARRANGED FOR THE TRUCK TO BE FIXED AT G&S AUTO AND THEY PAID FOR THE WORK. BUT AFTER REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RETURNED. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO G&S TO ASK WHY. THAT'S WHEN THEY DETERMINED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD FAILED DUE TO INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THEY RECOMMENDED ANOTHER SHOP FOR A 2ND OPINION. THAT SHOP IS CALLED ALL PRO AUTOMOTIVE. ALL PRO CONFIRMED THE DAMAGE AND PROVIDED A QUOTE FOR THE REPAIRS. PUGMIRE FORD VOIDED ALL CLAIMS OF THE VEHICLE BEING AN AN 'AS-IS' PURCHASE WHEN THEY PAID TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. THEY TOOK OWNERSHIP OF IT, AND OPTED OUT AFTER THEY RECEIVED THE CHECK FROM MY BANK.

VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. ALSO POWER STEERING WILL COME ON AND OFF DURING TURNS. HAPPENS OFTEN. THEN A MESSEGE POPS UP ON DASH TO LOWER THAN PUT UP DRIVE SIDE WINDOW. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

VEHICLE STARTS TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVEN ABOVE 70MPH. IF BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO REDUCE SPEEDS FROM 75-70 THE SHAKING SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES, BUT DECREASES TO THE NORMAL SHAKING ONCE THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED.

1) TRANSMISSION WHEN OUT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 ML PER HOUR, TRUCK ONLY HAD 107,000 MILES HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION MORE LIKE A REBUILD TRANSMISSION FROM THE DEALER. 2) MY AIR CONDITIONER WHEN OUT 9 MONTHS LATER AFTER REPLACING TRANSMISSION, THERE WAS A LEAK ON THE A/C CONDENSER, DEALER REPLACE THE CONDENSER TWO YEARS LATER AIR CONDITIONER WHEN OUT A GAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM A/C CONDENSER LEAKING THE CONDENSER THAT DEALER REPLACE. THIS'S NOT COMENT AND I THINK GM NEEDS STEP IN TO THE PLATE AND LOOKED IN TO THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER LEAKING REFRIGERAN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON P06DD. INITIALLY IT WAS A OIL INJECTOR THAT NEEDED REPLACING WITHIN THE FIRST 4 YEARS OF PURCHASE OF A NEW TRUCK. WHEN THE CODE COMES ON LATER IT'S THE OIL PUMP. OIL PUMP HAS A PRESSURE SWITCH ON IT THAT SAYS PUMP OIL AT 10 PPM, IF IT GOES AT 7 PPM IT WILL CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.THE OIL PRESSURE GOING INTO THE ENGINE AT 7 PPM IS NOT S SERIOUS ISSUE AND SHOULDN'T CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.I LIVE IN A STATE COUNTY WHERE YOU CAN'T REGISTER YOUR 1500 TRUCK FOR A NEW VEHICLE REGISTRATION WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.THE DEALER WANTS TO BILL ME 10 HOURS OF LABOR BECAUSE OF WHERE THE OIL PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE.THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $1,000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT FO THE OIL PUMP AND THE CONNECTED SENSOR.I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL EFFORT HAPPEN WHICH WILL NOT MAKE THE SENSOR ENACT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR SMALL IRREVERENT DISCRETION WITH THE PRESSURE SWITCH.

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND I COULDN'T GO OVER 40MPH. THE TRUCK WOULD JUMP AND BOUNCE AND MAKE LOUD SCREECHING NOISES. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL THE TRANSMISSION. I ASKED A FAMILY FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED IT. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM. THE MOTOR WAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES CHANGING FROM V8-V4 ALSO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY PEOPLE THAT I NEED TO GET A TUNER TO DELETE THE COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT CHANGES THE AMOUNT OF CYLINDERS FIRING. I HAVE ALSO SEEN/HEARD TRUCKS THAT GO WITHOUT THE DELETE TOO LONG. ALSO, MY POWER STEERING WILL FAIL AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE TURNING. GM FAILS TO SEE THAT MY TRUCK HAS THIS ISSUE. SAYING IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY VIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,507.

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT VEHICLE STEERING FELT JERKY AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. ALSO NOTICED A CLUNK WHEN TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. EVERYTHING WENT BLANK ON THE RADIO AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HAD TO RESTART THE TRUCK 2 TIMES TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPOT.

BRAKING IS HARD. VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING AND PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND IT WAS VERY HARD
