2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE TURN AC AND RADIO GO OUT, RPMS DIE DOWN, STABLITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF TRUCK STALLS LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS STARTED AUG. 10TH AND HAPPENS DAILY

I GOT A STABILITRAK FAILURE CHIME AND MESSAGE WITH A REDUCED STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE AND I LOST MY POWER ASSIST FOR A SECOND THEN IT CAME BACK. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT WAS JUST MYSELF IN THE TRUCK GOING SLOW AND PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. I'D HATE TO THINK OF MY WIFE BEHIND THE WHEEL GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH MY GRAND KIDS INSIDE.

PEELING/FLAKING PAINT PASSENGER REAR DOOR ON THE POST NEAREST THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK IS WHITE. 2014 50K MILES GARAGE KEPT. WILL SEARCH THE VEHICLE FOR MORE PAINT ISSUES.

STARTED MAKING A TURN AND THE TRUCK INSTANTLY SHUT OFF LEADING TO POWER STEERING LOSS CAUSING ME TO END UP IN THE OPPOSING LANE ALMOST HITTING TWO CHILDREN AND THEIR FATHER ON BIKES. FATHER DIDN'T HAVE MUCH PATIENCE WITH ME TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK... FIX THIS ISSUE OR ELSE IT WILL BECOME A HUGE LIABILITY. BUY BACK ALL OF THESE TRUCKS AND CRUSH THEM.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, AT A SLOW TURN THE TRUCK STOPPED DEAD. NO POWER, BARELY WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING PARKED VEHICLES. TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN IT ALREADY WAS, ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE OF MY SUDDEN STOP. I WAS THEN TRAPPED IN MY PICKUP. WINDOWS AND DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. NO RESPONSE FROM TURNING THE KEY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ITS HAPPENED AND BOTH WERE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS MY ERROR. I LOOKED IT UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE SAID NO RECALL ON SUCH A 'COMMON' AND UNSAFE PROBLEM, ANOTHER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL OPEN. I WAS TOLD BY GM HEADQUARTERS NO RECALL. TOLD BY SERVICE MGR AT THE DEALERSHIP, TOLD ME THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED. ONLY AFTER I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL ME IT'LL COST ME $364. I ASKED ABOUT WHAT HE TOLD ME ONLY 3 DAYS EARLIER OF THE RECALL, HE THEN DENIED IT. WITH THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND THE NUMBERS OF PERSONS WHO COMPLAINED, I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE AT CHEVY'S EXPENSE. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK ON VACATION THE END OF THE MONTH. IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN, I'VE INSTRUCTED OUR TWO CHILDREN TO SECURE A GOOD LAWYER AND OPEN A WRONGFUL DEATH/INJURY SUIT. I WILL HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE INFORMATION I REVIEWED THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTS ALONG WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND THE REPAIRS BY THIS 'CERTIFIED' DEALERSHIP AT THEIR READY.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS LEAK CAUSING REDUCED POWER AND EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER CAB. ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED THIS CAN CAUSE NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS.

LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING WHEN PARKING, TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN MAKING TURNS ATSTOP SIGNS OR AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE WHEN MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY ROADS, IN PARKING LOTS, AND ON AND OFF HIGHWAYS, YOU HAVE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN BACK ON. STEERING ASSIST AND STABILITRAK HAS BEEN BECOMING DISABLED ON A REGULAR BASIS ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS WHILE MAKING TURNS ON CITY STREETS, IN PARKING LOTS, AND ON AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. SERVICE STABILITRAK AND STEERING ASSIST MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED DURING THESE TIME HOWEVER DO NOT LEAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO TO BE SCANNED. GM DEALER STATES THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE I WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING COMES ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW. TODAY WHILE DRIVING WHEN I PUT MY BLINKER ON THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING WENT ON MY LIGHTS DIMMED AND TRUCK WAS SHUTTING OFF BUT THEN CAME BACK ON. WHEN TURNING THE STABILITY CONTROL CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IF I WASN'T GOING DOWN A LOW TRAFFIC STREET I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE AC ON WHEN GETTING ON MY BRAKES THE HEADLIGHTS DIM STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND THE STABILITY CONTROL WILL COME ON AND TRIES TO KILL THE MOTOR. THIS FOR THE MOST TIME HAPPENS WHEN GETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

SOMETIMES WHEN I HOLD DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAPPENES AND MY STEERING WHEEL GETS VERY HARD MY AC TURNS OFF MY WHOLE DASHBOARD TURNS OFF AND SO DOES MY RADIO THEN AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS IT TURNS BACK ON. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I'M ROLLING UP THE WINDOWS MY HEADLIGHTS DIM. I THINK SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED ONCE AND IT WAS NOT THE VOLTAGE IT NEEDED I REPLACED IT WITH THE BATTERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS WELL FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND THE ISSUE REOCCURRED. WHEN I AM REVERSING MY STEERING WHEEL GETS VERY HARD AS I'M PRESSING ON THE PEDAL WHILE I'M PARKING IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT IT DOES DO IT FREQUENTLY.
