2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH OUR TRANSMISSION GOING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. LOSES POWER AS IF IT WERE PUT INTO NEUTRAL. ALSO OUR AIR CONDITIONING IS HORRIBLE.

WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS WITH NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AT OTHER TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS SIDE TO SIDE WILDLY WITH NO DRIVER INPUT . I AM AWARE OF THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT A DEALERSHIP TWICE BUT THE ISSUE KEEPS COMING BACK. MY TRUCK HAS 42000 MILES AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, PLEASE HELP AS I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, THANKS.

MY 2014 SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY HAS A 8 CYLINDER 6.2 ENGINE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP OFTEN THERE IS STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RUNS HIGH AND THERE IS THE SMELL OF COOLANT LEAKING. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHEVY DEALER THIS IS CAUSED BY UNDER SPRAY? IT HAPPENS ON DRY DAYS, RAINY DAYS AND LAVING A CAR WASH BAY. I'VE BEEN ADVISED IT IS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE RADIATOR AND GM KNOWS THEY'VE HAD PROBLEMS.

WHILE TRAVELLING AT 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO TURN INTO A STORE PARKING LOT. THE TRUCK SLOWED SOME, THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO DEPRESS WITH THE TRUCK STILL ROLLING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OF COURSE) COST OF $1400. GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SHOWED ME A "BULLETIN" THEY RECEIVED TELLING THEM PROBABLE CAUSES AND PART NUMBERS. I CALLED GM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE JUST WEREN'T ENOUGH REPORTED PROBLEMS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL YET. IF YOU GOOGLE THE BRAKE PROBLEM THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME WITH NARROWLY MISSED ACCIDENTS. I HAD NO TYPE OF WARNING THAT THERE MIGHT A PROBLEM. GM SAID "SORRY, CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS IN CASE A SAFETY RECALL COMES DOWN." I TOLD GM I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A NUMBER OF TRAGIC ACCIDENTS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. OH, AND THE $1400 REPAIR BILL GETS ME THE SAME CRAPPY PARTS THAT FAILED!

AT SLOW SPEEDS (MOSTLY WHEN TURNING) POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. I'VE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND JUST AS MANY WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. OTHER SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, GENERALLY ON A LONGER TRIP, WARNINGS ABOUT STABILTRACK NEEDING SERVICE COME ON, MY LANE DEPARTURE SENSOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH FROM VIBRATE TO AUDIBLE BEEP, DIMMING MY HEADLIGHTS OR TURNING MY TURN SIGNAL ON WILL CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD THE RECALL FOR SOFTWARE FIX FOR POWER STEERING ISSUES APPLIED IN SEPTEMBER 2017 WHERE PREVIOUSLY I EXPERIENCED NONE OF THESE ISSUES. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN AFTER THE RECALL SOFTWARE FIX WAS APPLIED. THE DEALER SAYS IT'S DUE TO A FILM THAT BUILDS UP ON THE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION AND CAUSES IT TO NOT HAVE A GOOD CONNECTION WITH THE BATTERY. APPARENTLY THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT ISN'T A RECALL SO DEALERS ARE CHARGING AROUND $700 TO FIX THIS. HAVING YOUR TRUCK TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND ONE THAT IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE RECALL FOR HAVING YOUR POWER STEERING GO OUT WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS.

MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS THE CHEVY SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRUCK BEGINS VIBRATING AT 70-80 MILES PER HOUR. BEGINS TO REDUCE THE SHAKING BETWEEN 80-83 AND THEN SHAKES EVEN WORSE AT 85+MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD IT CAUSES WATER TO SHAKE OUT OF A CUP IN THE CUP HOLDER. NOT ONLY DOES THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE, BUT THE ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE, AND THE FRONT SEATS. THE VIBRATION DIDN'T BEGIN UNTIL I HIT 60,000 MILES AND SEEMS TO WORSEN WITH THE HIGHER MILEAGE. I NOW FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, BECAUSE I SKIDDED THE IN THE RAIN DUE THE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I ONLY HAVE VIDEOS SHOWING THE VIBRATION. TOTAL BUMMER. I HAD MY TIRES CHECKED AND BALANCED (WHICH HAVE BEEN ON THE TRUCK FOR 1 YEAR +, PRIOR TO THE VIBRATION STARTING) MY TRUCK HAS LIFETIME ALIGNMENT ON IT, AND THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE EITHER.

AIR COMPRESSOR OUT IN 2014 SILVERADO. KNOWN DEFECT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT

INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 27TH, 2018. AT 65 MPH (INTERSTATE) GOING ON A DOWNHILL GRADE OF APPROXIMATELY 6%, TOWING AN APPROXIMATE 2500 LB TRAILER WITH WET ROADS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN APPLIED BRAKES LIGHTLY, THE TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTED (HIGHER RPM), APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN, UPSHIFTED AGAIN, DID A THIRD TIME, UPSHIFTED AGAIN (NOW AT 4000 RPM). HAD TO TAP THE GAS TO GET THE TRUCK TO DOWNSHIFT. TRANSMISSION WAS SET IN DRIVE, NOT MANUAL MODE. THIS IS A REPEATABLE CONDITION; IT DOES NOT MATTER IF TRAILER MODE ON THE TRANSMISSION IS SELECTED OR NOT. LESS DOWNGRADES (APPROXIMATELY 3% OR LESS) DO NOT SEEM TO CAUSE THE ISSUE. TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING SEEMS TO HAVE AN ERROR. THIS IS HIGHLY UNDESIRABLE AND COULD LEAD EASILY TO AN ACCIDENT.

TRUCK SHAKES/VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABOVE 65 MPH VERY BADLY SLIGHT VIBRATION AT LOWER SPEEDS ALSO KNOW AS THE CHEVY SHAKE
