2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE VACUUM PUMP FAILED RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKING ASSISTANCE. MUSHY AND HARD PEDDLE. VERY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS. MINE WENT OUT WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAUSING EXCESSIVE SPEED ON THE OFF RAMP AND INABILITY TO SAFELY BRAKE. APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR MY YEAR VEHICLE. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER I WAS TOLD M VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL.

REAR-END HAS TO BE REBUILD. MAKING WHINING NOISE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. DEALER SAYS IT IS COMMON WITH VEHICLE. WHY IS CHEVROLET ALLOWING THIS.

WHENEVER PULLING INTO PARKING LOT SLOWLY OR REVERSE PARKING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, HAVE TO PUT IN PARK TO RESTART VEHICLE. USUALLY WHILE TURNING VEHICLE HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.

WHILE TRUCK IS TRAVELING DOWN ROAD TRUCK LOOSES POWER SHUTS OFF, DASH GOES BLANK, LOSES POWER STEERING. VERY DANGEROUS.

THIS PROBLEM WAS A RECALL AND WAS REPAIRED BEFORE AT NO COST. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I TOOK A 100 MILE ROUND TRIP DAY TRIP...ON THE WAY BACK I GOT A STEERING WARNING THAT FLASHED 2 TIMES ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE GOING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN WHEN TURNING INTO MY SUBDIVISION THE TRUCK STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME IN A HOME DEPOT PARKING LOT. I FEEL THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND I HAUL A 36 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER OCCASIONALLY. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED...THE FIRST TIME IT WAS A FREE RECALL REPAIR...PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO PROCEED. I PLAN TO TRADE THE TRUCK IN ASAP DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY HUSBAND AND I ARE UP IN AGE AND NO LONGER ABLE TO TRAVEL.

TRUCK BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGH AND WOULD JERK DURING TAKING OFF AND STOPPING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REPORTED FUEL BUILDUP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PISTONS WERE BROKEN AS WELL. MY TRUCK HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT AND GM REFUSES TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE MISFIRE FROM FUEL BUILDUP BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS GREATER THAN 5 YEARS OLD.

WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE WE LOST ALL PULLING POWER. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT LET US MOVE THE VEHICLE BUT PULLING POWER WAS SLIPPING, THEN WE LOST PULL AGAIN AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. THERE WERE NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. I HAVE JUST OVER 110,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND THE REPAIR SHOP TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THIS VEHICLE.

I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED SMOKING FROM THE REAR OF THE CREW CAB, IT WENT OUT BUT LEFT BROWN SNOW AROUND IT BUT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE RIGHT REAR GLASS EXPLODED AND LUCKILY MY OLDEST DAUGHTER IS FORWARD FACING IN HER CHILD SEAT AND THE GLASS WENT OVER OR BEHIND HER CHAIR. IF MY YOUNGEST WAS THERE SHE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY TAKEN GLASS TO THE FACE AND BEEN TOO YOUNG TO NOT PUT IT IN HER MOUTH IF IT DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY HURT HER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REMOTE START WAS USED AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLES REAR DEFROSTERS WERE ENGAGED DURING THE REMOTE START.THE SMOKE STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I SHUT IT OFF TO GET IT TO GO AWAY AND REMOVED THEM STAINED SNOW FROM THE AREA. THE GLASS EXPLODED ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO OTHER WARNING SIGN. I SAW ONLINE THAT CANADA ALREADY HAS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS FIRE/SAFETY HAZARD AND I?M NOT SURE THE OUT OF POCKET REPLACEMENT WINDOW I GET WILL MAKE THE TRUCK ANY SAFER FOR ME AND MY KIDS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING, A SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL HAPPENS. IT BECOMES REALLY HARD TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THEN A FEW DIFFERENT MESSAGES POP UP "STABILITRAK" AND "PARKING ASSIST IS OF" AND SOMETIMES THE TRUCK COMPLETELY TURNS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AND NO MATTER WHERE I AM I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE TRUCK BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 7 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

BRAKE POWER FAILURE, WHERE AS THE BRAKE BECAME STIFF AND IT WAS HARD TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WAS MOVING LESS THEN 10MPH AND HAD A UTILITY TRAILER ON THE HITCH. THE TRUCK WAS ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE FOR A TOTAL OF THREE FAILURES UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. MOVING UNDER 10 MPH ON SURFACE STREETS AND HAVING A CAMPER TRAILER ON THE HITCH OF THE TRUCK.
