A well-documented and increasingly widespread problem related to excessive rust on the frames of many vehicles in this particular model year range. The cause of the problem appears to stem from a poorly applied or degrading wax coating, which, over time, peels off, leaving the frame exposed to corrosion, particularly in harsh weather conditions such as heavy snow and road salt exposure. The result is catastrophic—my Silverado’s frame and crossmembers are now severely compromised, and the integrity of the vehicle is in question.

While driving on the interstate my truck starting slowing down fast and the engine RPM's went up. I pulled to the side and restarted the truck i would start driving then the truck would do the exact same thing. While all this was happening there was a burning smell in the truck. I brought the truck to an automotive mechanic and the found the transmission was bad. It is a very common problem with 2014 silverado 1500 trucks with the 6 speed transmission.

The brake vacuum pump on the 2014-2018 chevy silverado has intermittent failures causing reduced brakes, which is a major safety issue. Gm has this listed under a "special coverage warrenty" instead of a recall and wont fix this because the warrenty ended 6/24 or 150k miles(mine onpy has 125k). Luckily I didn't have any traffic infront of me and the street light had just turned red and the cross traffic hadn't started to move yet. When I contacted gm about this I talked to 3 different representatives 2 were the initial points of contact, the first stated I would be reimbursed due to this being a safety issue, the second said the first was talking about a "general warrenty"...? The third was a supposed " supervisor who was obviously reading from a script and chose his words very carefully when telling me that because the speciap coverage warrenty was up GM wasn't going to do anything about this which is a leagal way of saying their are ok with this known issue on their trucks out in the world. Probably because it'll be cheaper to have their lawyers fight a lawsuit than to pay for the parts and labor to have this known safety issue fixed.

I was driving into a parking doing less than 10 mph trying to angle park my truck. Suddenly my truck accelerated violently hitting another vehicle in the parking lot in the right rear and turning it around. Was hitting the brakes to no avail. Truck continued to accelerate and I aimed for a sign support pole while depressing the brakes as hard as I could. Truck hit the pole and the air bag deployed. Front of my truck was caved in and the truck was ruled unrepairable by my insurance company. I could have been badly injured or killed but thankfully sign support pole stopped me. Have a police report but was unable to scan it to my PC so I said there was no report.
