2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

AT VERY LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDDLE BECOMES VERY HARD AND WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT AND ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND STARTED AGAIN THE BRAKES WILL PERFORM LIKE NORMAL. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHILE PARKING OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO STARLING CHEVROLET (1001 E IRLO BRONSON MEMORIAL HWY, ST CLOUD, FL 34760) WHERE THE BRAKE ASSIST VAUUM PUMP WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5195285314. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE TRUCK, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY STIFF (HARD). I HAD TO APPLY BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK. THIS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH. CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT OTHER SILVERADO AND SIERRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM . THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! IN BOTH CASES I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND IN THE PROCESS OF PARKING THE TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AT HOME DEPOT.

BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS. WAS BACKING UP AND NOTICED BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH. PULLED FORWARD AND THE SAME THING. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AFTER DRIVING AROUND PARKING LOT. CAR HAD TO BE LESS THAN 3MPH FOR PROBLEM TO OCCUR.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED 3 MO AGO, FROM A DEALER WITH ~101,000 MI ON IT. IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AFFECTING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS. INITIALLY, THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED THE STABILITRACK AND POWER STEERING DASH WARNINGS ALARMING, WITH A SLIGHT CHANGE IN RESPONSIVENESS OF THE STEERING. IT HAS PROGRESSED TO COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER (DASH, AC, RADIO, EVERYTHING GOES OUT, LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED STEERIN, AND 2/3 TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE REQUIRING BEING RESTARTED MANUALLY (ENGINE HAD ALSO SHUT DOWN). TYPICALLY AFTER THE ELECTRICAL FLICKER EITHER THE STABILITRACK, THE POWER STEERING OR BOTH MESSAGES WITH ALARM. THIS HAS GENERALLY HAPPENED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 MPH AND 5 MPH, BUT IT NEXT ORIGINATES AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED. 2 OF THE 3 TIMES ALSO INCLUDED STOPPING WITH A GENTLE TURN, AS APPROACHING A STOP, FROM WHICH I WOULD THEN TURN. ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL FLICKERS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CAPTURE A PICTURE AS THIS IS OCCURRING WHILE DRIVING, AND THE WARNING INDICATOR TURNS OFF AFTER 3-5 SECONDS.

LOOSING BRAKES STARTS WHEN MOVING BACKWARDS I HAVE TO PUT BOTH FEET ON PEDAL TO STOP, THEN DOES SAME THING WHEN MOVING FORWARD. DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN. STARTED AT ABOUT 29000 MILES HAVE ABOUT 29500 ON IT NOW HAVEN'T DRIVEN IN A FEW MONTHS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND JUST RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE FAULTY VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM. BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MINE FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT APPARENTLY IT'S ONLY COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER IF IT'S UNDER 72K MILES. EITHER IT'S A MANUFACTURER FAULT OR IT'S NOT. MY BEING OVER 72K MAKES IT 'MY PROBLEM' I SUPPOSE. SAD THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.

TAKATA RECALL - TRIED PARKING TODAY AND BACKED INTO MY PARKING GARAGE WALL AT WORK - NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE BUT SCARED ME QUITE A LOT TO ALL THE SUDDEN LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY BRAKES - PEDAL BECAME STIFF - WOULD BARELY MOVE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED IT AND THEN BRAKES STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. ALL THE FORUMS I AM READING IS RELATED TO VACUUM PUMP. THIS IS A JOKE THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. THESE GENIUSES ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT APPARENTLY. TRUCK IS 2014 SILVERADO 1500 LTZ Z71 WITH ONLY 29,000 MILES ON IT. SURE AS HELL IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD.

SUSPENSION MAKES NOISES WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMP. DRIVER SEAT FEELS LIKE IT MOVES/SHIFTS SLIGHTLY WHEN MAKING A TURN. NO BRAKE PEDAL OR 'ROCK' HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS, IN TRAFFIC, OR WHEN IN REVERSE.
