2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF WHEN USING TURNING SIGNAL OR ROLLING UP WINDOWS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN BUSY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. SERVICE STABLI TRACK AND STEERING ASSIST REDUCED WILL COME UP ON DISPLAY. POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT WHEN TURNING. HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHEN TURNING SIGNALS ARE USED. TRUCK WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND WHILE DRIVING THEN EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON, COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHEN KNOB FOR HEADLIGHTS IS TURNED FROM AUTO TO ON POSITION THE DASH AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GETS DIM AND STABLI TRACK AND REDUCED STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE COMES ON. REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK USING FOB, SOMETIMES I WILL HAVE TO HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE DOOR WILL UNLOCK AFTER LOCK HAS BEEN MANUALLY PUSHED DOWN. PASSENGER SEAT BELT DING IS ALSO INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. MY TRUCK JUST NOW STARTED HAVING ALL OF THESE ISSUES AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. WE DROVE FROM TEXAS TO KENTUCKY AND BACK TO TEXAS AND THESE ISSUES ALL STARTED DURING THIS TRIP. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY, I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVROLET AND CURRENTLY OWN THIS TRUCK AND A TAHOE BUT THEY MAY BE MY LAST. ALL BULBS ARE GOOD, ALL FUSES AND RELAYS ARE GOOD. TRUCK NOW HAS 66000 MILES ON IT. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AROUND 59000 MILES. SEEMS TO BE A WIRING OR ECM (COMPUTER) ISSUE TO ME. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE BUT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR MY VIN NUMBER.

ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE. WHILE IT WAS THERE, THEY PERFORMED THE POWER STEERING SAFETY RECALL. AFTER GOING TO TOWN ON FEBRUARY 24TH I STARTED MY TRUCK TO RETURN HOME AND THE DIC SHOWED A MESSAGE WHICH SAID, 'SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE.' I NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2014 SILVERADO AND HAVE BEEN GETTING OFF AND ON GAS SMELL IN THE CAB. HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LIKE OK AT EVERY POSSIBILITY IT COULD BE AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING. HEAT IS ON AND IT IS WINTER TIME SOME TIMES WORSE WHEN YOU STOP AND THEN TURN RIGHT.

AT SLOW SPEED BRAKING SUCH AS ENTERING A PARKING SPOT BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE AND SLOW SPEED BRAKING AS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE BRAKES SEEM TO STOP WORKING AND THE PEDAL GETS HARD TO DEPRESS. STOPPING OCCURS WHEN GREAT FOOT PRESSURE IS APPLIED AND MAINTAINED. EVEN THEN IT WILL CREEP FORWARD OR BACKWARD A FEW INCHES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING ICON FLASHED AND A LOCK INDICATOR DISPLAYED. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHED AND VARIOUS UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS FLICKERED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING SEIZED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND EXCESSIVE FORCE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TEAM LAKE ROAD AUTO SALES (13988 CONNEAUT LAKE RD, CONNEAUT LAKE, PA 16316, (814) 382-9336) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS. A LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY SPECIFIC TECHNICAL GUIDELINES REGARDING DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. THE DEALER RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE OWNER AND THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND A SECOND LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED WITHOUT BEING REPAIRED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE REMEDY FAILED, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RECOURSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: PE18012 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES). THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED ANY BRAKE SYSTEM RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALLS AND TWO STEERING RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MULTIPLE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS ON A DOWNHILL GRADE FOR EXAMPLE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES SOMETIMES FAIL BY REQUIRING EXTREME FOOT PRESSURE TO STOP AND REQUIRING EXTRA BRAKING DISTANCE. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 20 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND IT IS SO SPORADIC AND UNEXPECTED THAT IT SCARES YOU TO DEATH WHEN IT DOES. IT ALSO HAPPENS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN THE TRUCK IS SLOWLY CREEPING DOWN A LIGHT GRADE.

ON JUNE 3, 2018 UPON CRANKING THE TRUCK, THE A/C BEGAN BLOWING EXTREMELY HOT AIR TO THE POINT IT LEFT A RED MARK ACROSS MY HAND AFTER FEELING FOR THE VENT WAITING FOR THE TEMPERATURE TO COOL DOWN. IT WAS 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND RAINING SO WINDOWS COULDN'T BE ROLLED DOWN. WINDSHIELD REMAINED FOGGY DUE TO HUMIDITY WITHIN THE TRUCK AND I HAD TO PULL OVER FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN ORDER TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD TO BE ABLE TO SEE. TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE TRUCK, ONE IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT WERE BEYOND OVER HEATED AND WELL ON THEIR WAY TO HEAT EXHAUSTION BY THE TIME WE REACHED THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO TEMPERATURES REACHING ABOVE 95 WITHIN THE CAB. TRUCK WAS SEEN AT DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED DUE TO VIBRATION FROM DRIVING, THE A/C DISCHARGE HOSE WAS CRACKED ALLOWING THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE TO BE BLOWN DIRECTLY INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. HOSE WAS REPLACED AD A BRACKET ADDED TO IMPROVE THE STABILITY OF THE HOSE AND REFRIGERANT ADDED. EIGHT MONTHS AND 4 DAYS LATER, A/C SUDDENLY BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. WAS ADVISED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE HIGH SIDE SERVICE PORT WAS NOW LEAKING AND NEEDED A VALVE REPLACEMENT AND REFRIGERANT ADDED AGAIN.

DURING A RECENT COLD SPELL I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO HOME WITH THE RE DEFROSTER ON. RANDOMLY I STARTED HEARING A WHISTLING SOUND, THEN WHEN I REACHED MY HOME I SAW THAT THE REAR WINDOW (TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE SLIDING WINDOW) HAD RANDOMLY SHATTERED LEAVING GLASS PIECES ON THE TONNEAU COVER AND HAD FALLEN IN ON MY DAUGHTERS CAR SEAT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR OTHER EVENT THAT PRECIPITATED THE SHATTERING, BUT AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR THE HOLE HAS SPREAD AND MORE GLASS CONTINUES TO FALL OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A GROWLING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT.
