THE ENGINE BRAKING COMES ACROSS THE DASH AT BETWEEN SPEEDS 50 AND 55 WHEN FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY PRESSING ON THE BRAKES 3 TIMES. AFTER THAT EVERYTIME I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ALL THE WAY TO FIRST GEAR.SO DON'T PUSH ON YOUR BRAKE PEDAL MORE THAN 3 TIMES OR YOU WILL BE IN FIRST GEAR. ALSO I WANT INCLUDE THAT THIS IS A WORK TRUCK 2 IN THE STANDARD CAB

2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH UNDER 96,000 MILES. FREEWAY DRIVING IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED, WHICH THEN CAUSED TRANSMISSION FAILURE

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. I GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK TO LEAVE AND I WENT TO PUT ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT AND IT BROKE OFF THE CABLE SHEARED. THERE WAS NO FORCE OR WARNING, IT JUST CAME OFF. THIS WAS A SEATBELT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN A RECALL BY GM FOR THE SAME THING.

2014 SILVERADO 1500 QUALITY ISSUES MY 2014 SILVERADO 1500 NEEDS A NEW $1,840 RADIATOR/OIL COOLER. THE TRUCK HAS 48,000 MILES PURCHASED NEW 5+ YEARS AGO, SO IT EXCEEDS THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. AT MY LAST 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE, THE OIL WAS FOUND TO BE 2 QUARTS LOW WITH OIL IN THE COOLANT. GM HAS REFUSED (TWICE) TO ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE I DID NOT USE A GM AUTO SERVICE FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES WITH DURABLEND BY AN INDEPENDENT QUICK OIL CHANGE SERVICE, A MILEAGE THAT EXCEEDS THE GM 7,500 MILEAGE RECOMMENDATION. I EXPLAINED TO GM CEO MARY BARA THAT I WAS UPSET WITH THIS DECISION - A TRUCK WITH 48,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT GM IS NOT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS QUALITY PROBLEMS. I FURTHER ADVISED THAT I WOULD SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED - BUT LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS. NOW THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CHARGING ME $147 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M NOT ENGAGING THEM TO DO THE REPAIR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS CHRONIC QUALITY PROBLEMS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER CHECKING INTERNET -ALSO A FRIEND HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH YUKON. OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE I OWN.

MY TRUCK TENDS TO MIMIC THE 19V761 RECALL OF 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS WITH THE 5.3L ENGINE AND 3.08 REAR AXLE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS THE 4.3L ON OCCASION, MY TRUCK WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT UNINTENTIONALLY DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING USED OUT OF MY CONTROL. I'M PARTICULARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE EVERY 2-3 SECONDS WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE DEFECT ALSO HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHILE TRAVELING ABOVE 35 MPH AND DOWNHILL. MOST RECENTLY DURING A SNOW STORM IN 4WD. THE 'EPISODE' USUALLY LASTS UNTIL I RESTART THE VEHICLE. IF IT RESOLVES BEFORE I RESTART IT DOES SO VICIOUSLY, AND STEERING WHEEL CORRECTS ITSELF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I'VE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S NOT A RECALL FOR VIN NUMBER.

WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEED ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM AND FLICKER. ALSO SITTING AT IDLE VEHICLE WILL HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, LIGHTS WILL DIM TO ALMOST GOING OUT COMPLETELY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN MAKING A TURN AND THIS HAPPENS VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY THAT STABIL TRAC HAS BEEN DISENGAGED. DOOR LOCKS ALSO UNLOCKED AND LOCKED WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. ALSO WHEN TRAVELING AND USING CRUISE CONTROL WHEN TURNING ON THE TURN SIGNALS CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISENGAGE AND STABIL TRAC NOTIFICATION WILL COME ON IN DISPLAY. DEALER REPLACED BATTERY APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO STATING IT WAS BAD AND THESE ISSUES MIMICKED A BAD BATTERY. ALL PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO TURN RIGHT AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED AUTOMATICALLY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED AT THIS TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AND THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS OF UNKNOWN RECALLS AND THE LOSS OF STEERING FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,300.

FLEX FUEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION, CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AND INABILITY TO REMOTE START CAR. VERIFIED WITH LOCAL THIRD-PARTY SHOP THAT NOTHING ELSE WOULD BE CAUSING THIS. DID NOT TAKE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS HAVE HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH INCORRECTLY FIXING A VOLUNTARY RECALL SO WE UTILIZED THE THIRD PARTY SHOP INSTEAD. LOCATED A GM SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN (#14289) FROM 2014 THAT INCLUDED OUR MAKE/MODEL REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, BUT THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BUT CHEVROLET CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED AND CANNOT LOOK UP THE SPECIFIC COVERAGE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT A YEAR, MAINLY IN THE WINTERTIME.

WHEN I AM TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEED IT BINDS SLOWING THE VEHICLE LIKE THE STABILATRACK KICKS IN AND WON'T GO ANY FASTER.

MY TRUCK SHUTS IT'S SELF OFF AS YOUR DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. I WAS DOING 50 ON THE HIGHWAY TODAY WHEN IT SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. I PULLED OF THE ROAD PUT IT IN PARK TURNED THE KEY OFF. AND IT RESTARTED. THE TRUCK HAS ALSO HAD MANY OTHER ISUES WHEN I TOOK THE DEALER FOR THE BREAK RECALL THERE WERE 5 COADS ALL WERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES.THE STEERING ASSIST COMES ON WHEN DRIVING ALONG MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
