LOSS OF BRAKING AT LOW SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP DUE TO FAULTY VACUUM PUMP. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND GM HAS EVEN REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PART NUMBER WITH A NEW UPDATED UNIT BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE OLD FAULTY ONES. IF THIS WASN'T A FAULTY PART THEN WHY REPLACE IT WITH AN "UPDATED" ONE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED OR KILLED.

WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND CAR HAD TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES SO IT WOULDN'T HIT ME. THEN IT WAS SLUGGISH AND SLIPPING ON MY 30 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 81. ON THE WAY HOME IT STARTED TO GET WORSE AND MAKING AN AWFUL HUMMING SOUND OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GMC AND CHEVY 1500 TRUCKS FROM 2014 TO 2017. I CHECK THE FLUIDS EVERY WEEK AND THERE ARE ALWAYS GOOD. IT JUST SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IF EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

EPS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MESSAGE POPS UP WHEN GOING FROM COLD TO HOT TEMPERATURES OR WHEN RAINING AND STARTS TO WARM UP OUTSIDE SOMETIMES IT WILL LOCK UP UNDER LOW SPEED TURNS IN PARKING LOTS HAVE HAD GM DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT DO THE RECALL THEY SAY ITS SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S CAUSING IT AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING GEAR BOX ESTIMATE OF $3,000 OUT OF WARRANTY AND RECALL REPAIR. HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FROM 35,000 MILES TO CURRENTLY 115,000 GM WILL NOT REPLACE GEAR BOX UNDER RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY THE RECALL IS ONLY AN UPDATE AND IT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOESN'T SO THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. IN THE PICTURE PROVIDED YOU CAN SEE A BOLT FROM MANUFACTURER OF VEHICLE RUBBING ON THE EPS SENSOR WHICH I JUST NOTICED TODAY AND APPEARS TO BE LIKE THAT ON OTHER 14 MODELS I HAVE LOOKED AT AFTER DISCOVERING THE ISSUE.

THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER HAS A SMALL LEAK CAUSING THE REFRIGERANT TO LEAK OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL GM SILVERADOS 2014-2017 AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THEY ARE ALL LEAKING IN THE SAME PLACE DUE TO A FAULTY WELD FROM THE FACTORY. THIS IS A $1200 REPAIR.

MY SILVERADO FREQUENTLY "SHUTS OFF" WHEN I AM MAKING TURNS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - THE LATEST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS TURN OFF. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SAID THEY HAVE "FIXED IT". I KEEP BRINGING THE TRUCK BACK TO THEM, BUT THEY WON'T ATTEMPT TO FIX IT AGAIN CITING LEMON LAWS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE TRUCK TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND AT THIS POINT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF AS I DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (SUTLIFF CHEVROLET, 1251 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE CRACKS IN THE RADIATOR AND THE THERMOSTAT THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHILE AT SLOW SPEED. TRUCK SHOWS MULTIPLE WARNINGS, I.E. STABLITRAK, REDUCE STEERING, WINDOW, ETC. TEMPORARY LOSS OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING; WHEEL TIGHTENS UP AND/OR JERKS HARD. VEH ENGINE REMAINS ON DURING MOST OCCURRENCES BUT OTHER TIMES, ENGINE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. CAUSE; 218 GROUND WIRE BECOMES LOOSE AND NUT COMES COMPLETELY OFF POST (SEE PICS). SOLUTION: REINSTALL 218 GROUND WIRE TO POST.

AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN PARKING LOTS, ESPECIALLY AFTER REVERSING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING ISSUE: DISPLAY WILL SAY THAT STABILITRACK IS ON, ADVISE THAT POWER STEERING IS REDUCED. THE AIR CONDITIONING, RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRIC SYSTEMS WILL THEN SHUT OFF. POWER STEERING IS CUT OFF ALONG WITH BRAKE PRESSURE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS ALSO SHUT OFF REQUIRING THE VEHICLE TO BE PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD CERTAINLY CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT.
