2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON CITY STREET, GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING, VOLTAGE WILL GO DOWN AND RESULT IN THE TRUCK CUTTING OUT (RADIO) LIGHTS FLICKER (HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS) AND SERVICE STABITRAK WILL COME ON DASH THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. WITH FINAL RESULT OF HAVING SURGES OF POWER STEERING WITH VOLTAGE DROPS. RESULTING IN ALMOST A HEAD ON COLLISION. PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF FOR A MINUTE THEN IT WILL BE FINE. TOOK TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THEY 'VISUALLY CHECKED' ALL ENGINE GROUNDS, BATTERY TERMINALS, STARTER WIRE, ALTERNATOR WIRE, AND POWER STEERING WIRES. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT GOOD. IT DID THROW 13 DTC'S RELATED TO LOW VOLTAGE. HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM IN 7,000 MILES AND NOW IT IS STARTING AGAIN. I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE FAULTY ISSUE, AND SO IS MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. BUT, THEY WANNA 'TRY' ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS AT MY EXPENSE, WHICH I THINK IS WRONG. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE SAME YEAR OF TRUCK WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED ON APRIL 14, 2020 FOR AN OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, ETC. AND THE WORK WAS ALSO PERFORMED FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM PRIOR TO THIS DATE - NO INCREASED PRESSURE, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. AFTER THIS DATE I NOTICED MY BRAKES SKIPPING WHILE IN REVERSE ON AN INCLINE. I LIVE AT THE TOP OF A HILL AND MY DRIVEWAY IS ALSO A HILL, SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. HOWEVER, I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A SLIGHTLY INCLINED PARKING SPOT AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT AND PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL NOT STOPPING. I MANAGED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND GET THE CAR INTO DRIVE TO AVOID HITTING A CAR BEHIND ME IN THE PARKING LOT. LATER THAT SAME DAY I WHEN REVERSING OUT OF ANOTHER SLIGHTLY INCLINED PARKING SPOT HAD TO FULLY USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL DUE TO SO MUCH PRESSURE. I TOOK MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT THAT DAY, BUT THAT I COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND BRING IT BACK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I REFUSED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK OFF THEIR LOT AND AM APPALLED THAT IT WOULD EVEN BE SUGGESTED AFTER HEARING THAT THE BRAKES MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY AT LUNCH TIME AFTER I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE BRAKE PUMP AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. I WAS AGAIN TOLD I COULD COME GET MY TRUCK AND DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PART CAME IN (BECAUSE I TOLD THEM I WASN'T PAYING FOR THEIR LOANER CAR I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING THAT THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE ME FOR). I TOLD THE MAN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HE'S CRAZY IF HE THINKS I'M GOING TO COME GET A TRUCK WHERE THE BRAKES MAY NOT WORK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE VEHICLE DAMAGE IF NOT ADDRESSED. *TR

THE STEERING ASSIST COMES ON IN THE INFO SCREEN, TRUCK POWER STEERING GOES OUT, AND CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT 60MPH, AND ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS ARE USE AT A LOW SPEEDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 'STEERING REDUCED, DRIVE WITH CARE' WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED IN AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE REPAIR FAILED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY MORITZ CHEVROLET (9101 CAMP BOWIE W BLVD, FORT WORTH, TX 76116, (800) 249-9475). THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000. *BF VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAMES WOOD CHEVROLET (DENTON, TX) WHERE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY A VOLTAGE RESISTOR FROM BATTERY CABLES. DEALER STATED THAT BATTERY CABLES WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *DL

THE VACUUM PUMP HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE, PRODUCING NO VACUUM PRESSURE TO THE BREAK ASSIST. THE RECALL SUGGESTING THE RECALIBRATION OF THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL HAD BEEN COMPLETED MONTHS PRIOR. THIS RESULTED IN SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, VIBRATION IN THE BREAK AND A HARD BRAKE PEDAL. ONCE IT COMPLETELY FAILED, THE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND STOPPING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. INITIALLY, THE PEDAL VIBRATION WAS NOTICED AT SLOWER SPEEDS. WHEN THE PUMP FAILED, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN OFF RAMP COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN. IT TOOK ALMOST STANDING ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 72,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE I WOULD NOTICE THAT THE DASH LIGHT WILL FLICKER AND THE TOUCHSCREEN AS WELL. AS I GOT TO 78 MPH THE ELECTRONICS BLACKOUT, STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN UP FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON.AS I DECIDED TO DECELERATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE TO GET OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT I HIT MY RIGHT SIGNAL LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONICS FLICKED OFF AND ON AGAIN AND MAINTENANCE STABILITIRAK SHOWED UP. WHEN I GOT TO A STOP I CUT THE TRUCK OFF AN BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. 30 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE DASH LIGHTS WAS FLICKERING AGAIN. I KEPT THE TRUCK STEADY AT 73 UNTIL I GOT HOME. UPON BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. WHEN I CRANKED THE TRUCK A MESSAGE READ ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND UP. *TR

AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT WILL BE FINE FOR 6-8 MONTHS THEN IT WILL ACT UP. IT STARTS WHEN I BRAKE THE LIGHTS WILL DIM. THE STABILTACK LIGHT WILL FLASH OFF AND ON. WHILE STILL IN MOTION. THE TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER AND THE BRAKES AND STEERING WILL LOCK UP. USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TURNING SLOW. IT'S HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS, PARKING LOTS AND A PARKING GARAGE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. I HAVE NO CONTROL AT THIS POINT. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE TRUCK NOT CRANKING BUT AFTER IT SITS FOR A WHILE IT WILL CRANK LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG WITH IT. INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKS COME OFF AND ON. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PPL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING IS THAT IT IS THE G218 GROUND ISSUE. I'VE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I'VE TOOK IT THEY CHARGE ME A FORTUNE AND TELL ME TO PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT. I HOPE THIS GET INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT'S A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL BE HURT. I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

EVERYTHING TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON FWY AT 80 MILES. MY DOORS UNLOCKED TRUCK TURNED OFF. TURNED BACK ON. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER EVERYTHING TURNED OFF.

VEHICLE STEERING IS INTERRUPTED WHILE IN MOTION AND TURNING. ( ~10 MPH CITY STREETS) VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AT LOW SPEED OR AFTER IDLEING AND VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK.(CITY STREETS 0-7MPH) WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SPEED/CRUSE CONTROL DISENGAGES (SHUTS OFF) WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. (MULTIPLE HWY SPEED RANGES' 50-75 MPH) NOTE'-DATE BELOW IS THE LATEST OF THESE REPEATED ISSUES. THE THREE EVENTS DESCRIBED HAVE REPEATED OCCASIONALLY RECURRED SINCE OWNERSHIP. NOW STEERING INTERRUPTION AND VEHICLE LOSING POWER AFTER IDLEING MORE FREQUENT. SPEED/CRUSE CONTROL DISENGAGEMENT WHEN SIGNAL LIGHT IS ACTIVATED IS ALSO RECURRING.

LOSS OF STEERING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEED. DASH SAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND LOSES POWER EVEN AT 65 MPH. *TR
