2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FLICKERING. WHEN STEERING, HEADLIGHTS DIM. WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS, HEADLIGHTS DIM. POWER STEERING RANDOMLY CUTS OUT IN PARKING LOTS. TRAILER BRAKE SERVICE WARNING CAME UP ON INSTRUMENT SCREEN. I READ GROUND G218 IS CAUSING A SHORT AND I REMOVED THE INSULATION UNDER THE NUT THAT COULD CAUSE HIGH RESISTANCE AND IT FIXED EVERYTHING FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS BUT THE LIGHTS AND STEERING PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. DEALER THOUGHT MAYBE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM BUT I DID NOT HAVE THEM REPLACE, INSTEAD FOUND G218 ISSUES ONLINE. NO OPEN RECALLS. SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS. NO CODES. NO ISSUE WITH BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR.

MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS LESS THAN 36000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FRAME. METAL IS FLAKING OFF THE FLAME IN LARGE PIECES AND SUPPORT ELEMENTS HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE LOOKS BRAND NEW. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THAT SINCE NONE OF THE CORROSION OR RUST WAS NOT "THROUGH" MEANING THEY COULD STICK THEIR FINGER THROUGH A HOLE, IT WAS NOT COVERED. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE FRAME AT MY COST. THIS IS SEVERE RUST. IT IS NOT SIMPLE SURFACE RUST EXPECTED ON VEHICLE. IT IS FLAKING OFF AND WOULD TAKE SIGNIFICANT LABOR TO GRIND/BRUSH AND REPAIR. THE FRAME AS IT IS NOW IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CRINGE EVERY TIME I HIT A POTHOLE. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OCCUPANTS AND FELLOW DRIVERS IF THE FRAME WERE TO COLLAPSE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO POOR CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERE RUST. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS ASKING HOW FLAKING RUST ON THE MAIN FRAME AND SUPPORT MEMBERS WAS NOT AN ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "MINOR" RUST.

AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS, THE POWER BRAKES BECOME INOPERATIVE WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO. I WAS PUZZLED. IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL NOW. IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I BOUGHT MY 2014 SILVERADO NEW . AFTER 10,000 MILES I COULD HEAR SOMETHING IN THE DRIVETRAIN BETWEEN 2ND AND 3 RD GEAR MAKE A MOANING SOUND . BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING . THIS WENT ON UNTIL 141,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT . HAD IT REBUILT FOR $ 3,700.00 AND WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSED THE PROBLEM . NOW I'M AT 181,000 AND WE ARE HOPING IT'S THE TCM INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION BUT IF NOT WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS WILL COST . I THINK GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTERS AS I HAVE READ MORE CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOME KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT . I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT GM VEHICLES BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TWICE .

AT START UP THE RADIO AND INFO SCREEN ON DASH BETWEEN THE RPM AND SPEEDOMETER WAS RESET AS IF THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED. THE POWER STEERING DIED OUT LATER ON A TURN ONTO MY BLOCK AND WAS ON AND OFF AS IT JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS WHILE PARALLEL PARKING. START UP THE NEXT DAY AND THE RESET WAS BACK WITH THE WHEEL FREE TO TURN FOR NOW. I HAVEN'T MOVED THE TRUCK FOR FEAR OF THE STEERING GOING OUT AGAIN. TRUCK HAS 44,450 MILES.

RECALL # 17276 FOR LOW VOLTAGE STEERING. OUR VEHICLE HAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED QUICKLY, THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY STIFF, THE HEADLIGHTS DIM, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING WHEN MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL # 17276 FOR LOW VOLTAGE STEERING. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING SYSTEM. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES NOW FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS OPENED A CASE WITH GM, AND GM HAS RECOMMENDED MANY THINGS, ALL AT MY COST THAT HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE SAFETY PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT GM IS USING ME AS A CRASH TEST DUMMY. I SENT AN E MAIL REQUEST TO GM DOCUMENTING THIS ISSUE. GM REPLIED THAT THEY WILL ONLY WORK BY TELEPHONE THEY ASK TO RECORD THE CALL BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE CUSTOMER TO DO THE SAME. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO READ OR REPLY TO MY DOCUMENTED REQUEST FOR HELP. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY DETAILS OR QUESTIONS, I DESPERATELY NEED HELP ON THIS. THANK YOU, *TR

VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHEN TURNING, RADIO SCREEN FLASHES ON/OFF, STABILITRAK ERROR DISPLAYS ON SCREEN, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION. THIS SPECIFIC VIN# WAS INVOLVED IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE LAST YEAR AND WAS REPAIRED BUT IS STILL FUNCTIONING AS PER MANUFACTURER AGREEMENT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD AS IS. TOOK IT BACK TO AUTONATION GULF FWY TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE NEG BATT TERMINAL, I GOT THAT FIXED STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. GM NOR CHEVY WANT TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY . I DON'T SEE PAYING FOR ALL THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET IF I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AUG 28, 2018 AND WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT IT HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED. ALSO, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO A PARKING LOT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4792950260. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. *DT*JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ USED AT A DEALERSHIP HERE IN ATLANTA, GA. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE AND I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN SLOWLY TURNING LEFT THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF, AND THEN CAUSED THE TRUCK TO STALL IN INCOMING TRAFFIC. AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN CHAMBLEE, GA. THEY RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN THESE TRUCKS FOR THIS ALREADY AND SAID THAT THEY HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN THREE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY THIS MORNING AT 6:30AM ON 10/30/18. I HAVE DROPPED OFF MY TRUCK AGAIN AT THE SAME DEALER, BUT I FEAR THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME, "UNABLE TO RE-CREATE" RESULT AS LAST TIME. ON THE RECALL WEBSITES I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT SEEMS THE RECALL NUMBER IS: 17V414000. PLEASE ADVISE, AS I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY AND WOULD FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK WITH HIM INSIDE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED. THE DRIVER IS UNCLEAR IF THE BREAKS WORKED OR NOT, BUT HE ENDED UP STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL ACCIDENTALLY. HE HIT A TREE HEAD ON AND TOTALED THE TRUCK. HE NOTICED THE AUDIO SYSTEM LOST THE SIGNAL FROM HIS IPHONE AND BEGAN PLAYING THE LOCAL RADIO STATION AT THE SAME TIME. THE IPHONE WAS CONNECTED VIA AN AUXILIARY CORD. THE DRIVER IS FAMILIAR WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND IS QUITE SURE THE STEERING LOCKED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE MOVED EVEN WITH CONSIDERABLE EFFORT. THE DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE AND IS LUCKY TO HAVE ONLY MINOR INJURIES. PRIOR TO THIS, RECALL #17276 WAS COMPLETED ON THE TRUCK, BUT AFTER THAT IT DID HAVE AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT WHERE ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WENT HAYWIRE, BLINKING & BEEPING & TURNING ON & OFF, THEN EVERYTHING WENT DEAD, INCLUDING THE STEERING. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY & FOUND NO OTHER PROBLEMS. WE KEPT THE BATTERY THEY REPLACED, HAD IT TESTED & IT WAS FOUND TO BE FINE. THE DEALERSHIP REFUNDED THE COST OF THE NEW BATTERY, BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
