2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I BELIEVE MY TRUCK HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING AND NOW ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

2014 1500 LTZ ALMOST KILLED MYSELF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLICKER AND THAT'S THE FIRST WARNING SIGN TO WATCH FOR. STEERING ASSIST SHUTS DOWN AND TRUCK STALLS IF TURN CONTINUES AT LOW SPEED. SHUT DOWN HAS HAPPENED VARIOUS TIMES NOW PUTTING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU. VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 75MPH

TWICE IN THE LAST THREE DAYS THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK HAVE FAILED AT LOW SPEED WHILE PARKING. AFTER ONLY 3-4 TIMES OF LIGHTLY PUMPING THE BRAKES THEY COMPLETELY GO HARD AND THE PEDDLE WILL NOT MOVE. NO MATTER WHAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IN REVERSE THE MOST. BRAKE PADS, FLUIDS, ETC ARE ALL PERFECT. PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AT ALL WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED. ONLY OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT'S PROBABLY THE VACUUM FAILING... HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON TRUCKS WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON AVERAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDS CHEVROLET OF GLENDALE (5418 GRAND AVE, GLENDALE, AZ 85301) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE WILL HAVE ISSUES WHEN TURNING? ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WILL SUDDENLY TURN OFF COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN AND THEN SUDDENLY TURN BACK ON AFTER I RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 75MPH ON HWY I-35 WHILE I WAS CHANGING LANES.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY WENT OUT AS PER ILLUMINATION ON THE DASH. THE RADIO, A/C, AND INSIDE LIGHTS WENT OFF TOO. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL 17V-414 STATES. AFTER CALLING GM, I FOUND OUT THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 11/2017 BY THE PRIOR OWNER( I PURCHASED TRUCK IN APRIL 2018). DESPITE THE RECALL BEING DONE, THE TRUCK IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. GM STATED THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN CLOSED AND THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR THE PART NOT THE LABOR! THERE IS NO PART-IT'S A SOFTWARE UODATE/REBOOT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THIS EFFECTS THE STEERING OF THE TRUCK. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE A WRECK. OBVIOUSLY, THE INITIAL REPAIR DID NOT TAKE. IT IS UNFATHOMABLE THAT I AM TO BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A RECALL THAT WAS NOT PROPERLY DONE THE FIRST TIME.
