2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THIS IS THE WORST PAINT JOB I HAVE EVER HAD ON A VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM PASO ROBLES CHEVROLET ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2014. BY SUMMER OF 2018, THE PAINT HAD STARTED PEELING OFF THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF CHEVROLETS. CHEVROLET AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO HELP. THIS YEAR I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO GET THE DOORS PAINTED WHICH COST ME $2,500. WHILE AT THE BODY SHOP, THEY DISCOVERED THREE MORE PLACES THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING OFF. I PUT IN ANOTHER CASE WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED SEVERAL TIMES BUT FAILED TO ADEQUATELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH EXTENDED THE BRAKING DISTANCE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LYNN SMITH CHEVROLET LOCATED AT (925 N BURLESON BLVD, BURLESON, TX 76028) WHERE THE VEHICLE RECEIVED UNKNOWN REPAIRS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BRAKES ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE WAX COATING TO PREVENT RUST ON THE TRUCK'S FRAME IS FALLING OFF. THE FRAME HAS A MAJOR RUST PROBLEM; THE TRUCK HAVING A LOW MILEAGE OF 25,801 AT THE TIME I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY CASE #9-559725037 AND #9-5593674272. THE TRUCK WAS EXAMINED AT BALISE CHEVROLET OF SPRINGFIELD MA. PHONE #413-734-6498, FAX #413-734-4421 WHERE THEY TOOK PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM. BALISE ADVISED ME IT WOULD COST $1200.00 TO FIX THIS RUST PROBLEM. BALISE ASSIGNED A REPAIR ORDER #667705 AND CONTACTED GM. GM ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COSTS, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM TO GM IN THE MANUFACTURING OF CHEVY PICK-UP TRUCKS FROM 2014 TO 2018. I DISCOVERED THE FRAME RUST ONLY BY CHANCE WHEN MY TRUCK WAS ON A LIFT FOR A FLAT TIRE REPAIR WHILE AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I LOOKED INTO THE INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR CHEVY TRUCK FRAME RUST, (NHTSA #S P10564D AND P10564H, TSB # 14002A, NHTSA ID # 10067212) AND A MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION # SB-144002A. IT IS MY BELIEF THE RUST FRAME PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM/CHEVY BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT KNOWN TO THE COMPANY. GM/CHEVY SHOULD HAVE SENT OUT A RECALL ON THIS HIDDEN DEFECT, LONG BEFORE I DISCOVERED IT BY CHANCE AND MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. PLEASE NOTE THE LOW MILEAGE OF MY TRUCK IS UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE AIR CONDITION WAS ACTIVATED, HOT AIR WAS FELT COMING FROM THE VENTS. RICK HENDRICK CHEVROLET CHARLESTON LOCATED AT (1500 SAVANNAH HIGHWAY, CHARLESTON SC 29407, (843)300-1232) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THEY LIVED IN THE STATED OF SOUTH CAROLINA, THEREFORE, THE A/C UNIT WAS NECESSARY FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHO OPENED A CASE REGARDING THE MATTER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

OIL COOLING LINES AND TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES DEVELOPED LEAKAGE AT THE HOSE/METAL INTERFACE CLOSEST TO THE RADIATOR. THIS WAS NOTICED AT AROUND 70,900 MILES. BOTH WERE REPLACED AT 75,000 MILES. CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF EITHER ONE COULD HAVE CREATED MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET, AND WHENEVER I WOULD SIGNAL LEFT TO MERGE INTO THE OTHER LANE, THE CRUISE WOULD DISENGAGE. I COULD RESET IT AS USUAL IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, BUT IT HAD DONE THIS BEFORE, SO I TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE ALMOST EVERY TIME. THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, AS WELL AS MYLINK WINDOW IN CENTER CONSOLE AREA. IT WOULD ALSO GO NUTS IF I ROLLED UP THE WINDOW AND HOLD A SECOND PAST THE TIME WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY UP. I HAD MULTIPLE LIGHTS WITHIN DASH LIGHT UP, THEN GO OFF (REALLY SCARY). HAPPENED TOO FAST TO TELL WHAT LIGHTS LIT UP. ADDITIONALLY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS SLOWLY TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY OF MY FRIEND'S HOUSE. HE EVEN COMMENTED IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TURN, SO IT WASN'T JUST MY IMAGINATION. THIS EPISODE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE HAD DIED (BUT IT HAD NOT DONE SO). I HAVE READ WHERE THIS WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS OF CHEVY TRUCKS, BUT FOUND NO RECALL INFORMATION ON MY VIN. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IF MY ELECTRONICS AND/OR MY STEERING GO OUT WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WRECK, GM WILL HAVE MAJOR LEGAL ISSUES ON THEIR HANDS. I HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG CHEVY OWNER AND ALWAYS KEEP MY VEHICLES IN TIP-TOP SHAPE. THEREFORE, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S ISSUE THAT NEEDS RESOLVED BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER AS WELL AS MY DASH RADIO THAT FLASHED OFF AND CAME RIGHT BACK ON. WHILE THESE OTHER TWO THINGS WERE GOING ON A MESSAGE ON THE DASH APPEARED AS "SERVICE STABILITRAK". ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SPEED AS MENTIONED BEFORE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND SUDDENLY THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED AND THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" MESSAGE APPEARED ALONG WITH THE "DEACTIVED POWER STEERING", AS WELL AS THE SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING. ALSO IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN I SIGNAL WHILE GOING OVER 70MPH, THIS IS USUALLY THE THING THAT COMMENCES ALL OF THE MESSAGES AND FLICKERING OF LIGHTS ALONG WITH WHAT I MENTIONED ABOVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AT VAUGHN CHEVROLET BUICK CADILLAC LOCATED AT (214 TEXAS ST, NATCHITOCHES, LA 71457). THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITH BOTH FEET TO AVOID A CRASH. THE VEHICLE SLID TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED SERVICE BRAKING ASSIST SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 166,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHILE COMING UP TO TRAFFIC AND COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME ROCK HARD AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP IN TIME. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING INTO THE REAR OF THE OTHER OTHER VEHICLES, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THEM AND SIDE SWIPED A GUARDRAIL. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS BODY DAMAGED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT HAS BEEN DROPPED OFF AT CONCORD CHEVROLET IN CONCORD, CALIFORNIA. I ALSO FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AS WELL AS GENERAL MOTORS.

CODE P06DD CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK 10 MILES AWAY. WE RESET AND TRUCK WAS DRIVING FINE. ON 10 DEGREE DAY, TRUCK DISPLAYED LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ONE MILE AWAY FROM WORK. CHECKED OIL AND TOPPED OFF, TRIED TO START VEHICLE, HEARD A NOISE AND TRUCK STARTED TICKING NOISE. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND STILL TICKING. FORUMS STATED IT COULD BE THAT OR THE OIL PUMP. LOOKING AT PUTTING IN A NEW OIL PUMP BUT WONDERING IF THIS IS PART OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL.
