DURING A TURN TO A SIDE STREET THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. ALL STEERING AND BRAKES WERE INOPERABLE. THERE WAS AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT AND A MESSAGE ABOUT THERE BEING 2 IDENTICAL KEYS FOR THE TRUCK THEN ANTI THEFT FLASHED. WHILE STOPPED IN THE INTERSECTION BLOCKING TRAFFIC, A MESSAGE DIRECTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS WINDOW THEN BACK UP. WHEN THAT WAS DONE, ELECTRICAL CAME BACK ON AND STEERING WAS RESTORED. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND IS NOW UNSAFE FOR USE. THE CONTROL FOR BEING ON OR OFF IS UNRELIABLE AND THEREFORE UNSAFE TO USE AS A TRANSPORT. 42000 MILES ON THE 2014 HIGH COUNTRY SILVERADO. NO STEERING. NO BRAKES...THAT MAKES IT UNSAFE. WOULD YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AND ASK THEM TO DRIVE SAFELY? HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY GIVING TOTAL CONTROL TO VOLATILE SOFTWARE? HOW ABOUT AT 75 MPH AND IT FAILS? JUST KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN WOULD HAVE ENSURED I CONSIDERED ANOTHER PURCHASE. I BELIEVE THAT INFORMATION ALONE WILL JUSTIFY SOMEONE ELSE'S MARKETING DATA.

WHEN COMING DOWN THE STREET TO TURN IN MY DRIVEWAY THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARED ON MY DASH AT ABOUT 25 MPH. IT WAS TOUGH TO TURN IN BUT IT APPEARED TO BE WORKING SOME. TURNED OFF WHEN STOPPED AND RESTARTED, AND HAD NO STEERING ABILITY OTHER THAN SLIGHT TURN. CALLED DEALER WHO BROUGHT IT IN AND SAID THAT RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS UNDERWAY AND THAT THEY WOULD SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX IT. THEY CALLED ME NEXT DAY TO TELL ME I NEEDED AN ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $1,900 WITH TAXES, PLUS I WOULD REQUIRE AN ALIGNMENT. I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS THAT MIGHT HELP FIX THIS ISSUE. DEALER OFFERED A SLIGHT DISCOUNT FOR LOYALTY AND TOLD ME TO CALL CHEVROLET FOR FURTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AS I BALKED AT THE COST FOR A RELATIVELY NEW TRUCK. (PURCHASED JANUARY 2015 I DID AND THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER ALMOST 1 WEEK AGO. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

ON 7.3.2019, I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN A LOUD NOISE OCCURRED. I GOT OUT AND MY TRUCK WAS SITTING ON THE GROUND AS MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS BROKE OFF AND RESTING ON THE GROUND. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CONTROL ARM HAD FAILED CAUSING MY TIRE TO BREAK OFF. AUGUST 8TH, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN BUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THANKFULLY THIS HAPPENED AT MY HOME WHEN PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED SEEING AS THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATRASTOPHE HAD I BEEN ON TRAVELING AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND IS QUITE RIDICULOUS SEEING AS THE TRUCK IS NOT THAT OLD. I AM HOPING THAT CHEVY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE INJURED. I CAN ALSO PROVIDE PICTURES OF BOTH INCIDENTS

DURING A PANIC STOP AT SLOW TO MID SPEED SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HIT THE BRAKES ONLY TO HAVE A HARD PEDAL AND NOT STOPPING QUICK ENOUGH. FELT LIKE A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE. THE HARD PEDAL AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WILL BE HEADING TO THE DEALER ASAP. I AM OUT OF NORMAL WARRANTY AND ONLY HAVE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY LEFT. SHOULDN'T MATTER DUE TO SAFETY RELATION OF PROBLEM. ## VIN PASSED ## , ##

TAKATA RECALL A/C CONDENSER HAS A LEAK. QUITE A PAIN WHEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THESE CHEVY TRUCKS.
