2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES TO WHICH I LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL STEERING AND I HAVE TO BRAKE AND TRY TO REACH SIDE OF STREET AS SOON POSSIBLE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER EVERY TIME AND THEY DO NOT GIVE ME A CAUSE OF WHY THIS IS HAPPENING NOR DO THEY FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN CHARGED EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN TO VERIFY WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. I HAD A LETTTER SENT TO ME BY A LAW FIRM LAW OFFICE OF RONALD J BOLZ, PLLC. ADDRESS 30928 FORD ROAD GARDEN CITY MICHIGAN, 48135 PHONE NUMBER 1-888-453-6667 FAX NUMBER 1-888-334-8333 WEB ADDRESS WWW.LEMONAUTO.COM EMAIL ADDRESS RBOLZ@LEMON AUTO.COM. MANUFACTURE DENIED ANY CLAIM. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ON THIS VEHICLE AND THERE ARE MANY ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE MENTIONED ABOVE. I AM AFRAID TO USE VEHICLE TO WHERE I LOSE CONTROL AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. SEE DOCUMENTATION ON DATES OF OCCURENCE

STARTED VEHICLE PULLED OUT OF GARAGE AND POWER WENT OUT AND VEHICLE STOPPED EVERYTHING SHUT OFF. WOULDN'T START. NO POWER AT ALL. THEN WAITED ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND TRUCK STARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS RESET, CLOCK TIME. AND IT DISPLAYED SOME ERROR ON DASHBOARD ABOUT ROLLING DOWN WINDOW AND IT WILL CLEAR SYSTEM . BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE I DROVE 7 MILES TO PICK MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL AND GOT OUT OF TRUCK GOT MY SON AND WHEN WE GOT BACK INTO TRUCK PUT KEY IN AND TURNED IT NOTHING TRUCK WOULDN'T START. NOTHING AT ALL. WAITED A MINUTE TRIED AGAIN TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP. EXCEPT MY WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN DRIVER FRONT WINDOW. EVERY OTHER WINDOW WORKS. THIS TRUCK IS BARELY 4 YEARS OLD.

THIS HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO STOP.BRAKE VACUUM PUMP LEAKS AND FILLS BRAKE BOOSTER WITH ENGINE OIL REDUCING VACUUM RESIVORE MAKING BRAKE PEDEL VERY HARD.WIL NOT STOP! I HAVE ALL PARTS AND VACUUM BOOSTER STILL FULL OF ENGINE OIL.

TRUCK SHIFTS BAD, ALMOST LIKE THE GEARS ARE SLIPPING USUALLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AROUND 3RD-4TH GEAR. THE TRUCK ALSO VIBRATES AT 35 MPH UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING.

STABILITRAK LIGHT KICKS ON AND OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND SHUDDERS WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS, HEADLIGHTS AND DASHLIGHTS BLINK LIKE THE TRUCKS ABOUT TO LOSE POWER. SEARCHING ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A DEVICE BULLETIN THAT FIXES THESE ISSUES, BUT I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK. PIT5405A IS THE BULLETIN NUMBER.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP HAS DETERIORATED CAUSING INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT AND LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES AT SLOWER SPEEDS. VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED ON JANUARY 18, 2019, BUT WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL DESPITE NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, RADIO HEAD UNIT FLICKERS, ERROR MESSAGES (SERVICE STABLITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, REDUCED STEERING ASSIST) DOORS OCCASIONALLY WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THEN TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF ALL TOGETHER. STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS. SOMEBODY WILL END UP DEAD IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED, AND RECALLED. VERY COMMON THROUGH MY RESEARCH IN 2014 SILVERADOS/SIERRA'S.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I STARTED TO PUSH MY BRAKE PEDAL AND I NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP WITHOUT CRASHING I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. I CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAVE FLUID IN MY BRAKES BOOSTER AND IT WAS FULL. I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY ABS LIGHT AND STABLE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. WE GOT THE TRUCK TO MY BUDDY SHOP AND HE WHEN ONLINE TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT VACUUM PUMP AND SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. I CALLED CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ASK THEM WHAT WE COULD DO. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE TRUCK IN AND I COULD PAY FULL PRICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIXED AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A RIDE TO PICK UP A RENTAL CAR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE.

FOR THE 3RD TIME IS LESS THAN 3 WEEKS, I'VE HAD POWER BRAKING COMPLETELY FAIL AT LOW SPEEDS WHICH HAS NEARLY LED TO RUNNING INTO AN OBJECT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE (USUALLY ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE, MY HOME, OR SOMETHING ELSE NEARBY WHEN PARKING). I JUST NOTICED ON SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED, AND NOW I'M HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PAY BETWEEN $600-1200 FOR REPAIRS ON MY 2014 VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 42K MILES.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I'D SAY ABOUT 4, WHEN REVERSING SLOWLY IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WENT OUT. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN IN ORDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO COMPLETELY COME TO A STOP.
