TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DEALERS INCLUDING OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF BOWIE (16610 GOVERNOR BRIDGE RD, BOWIE, MD 20716, (301) 262-7600), JACK WINEGARDNER CHEVROLET (11001 INDIAN HEAD HWY, FORT WASHINGTON, MD 20744), AND OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF ROCKVILLE (807 ROCKVILLE PIKE, ROCKVILLE, MD 20852, (301) 637-6496), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED AND DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V614000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) PERTAINING TO THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED AND POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION OF THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE. THE THREE DEALERS HAD NOT TEST DRIVEN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAIRWAY CHEVROLET TRUCK MEGA STORE (3100 E SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89104, (702) 948-7865) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WIRE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ON A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ONE DRIVER. IT WILL RANDOMLY LOSS POWER GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, FREQUENTLY NOW, LOSSES POWER STEERING AND WILL VIOLENTLY JERK MAKING IT UNCONTROLLABLY. HAD THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE SHOP FOR THE RECALL BUT ARE STILL HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THE DEALER IS WANTING TO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND ANY REPAIRS, STATING THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING LOT TODAY AT LOW SPEED, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT CRAZY, SCREEN FLASHED POWER STEERING FAILURE, STABILITRAC FAILURE, DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AND ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED AND WAS FINE DRIVING FORWARD AND REPEATED FAILURES AGAIN WHEN TURNING TO PARK IN PARKING SPACE. IT IS FORTUNATE THIS WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON INTERSTATE OR OTHER MAIN ROAD OR WHILE TURNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL IN FALL OF 2017 FOR POWER STEERING THAT WAS REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP UPON NOTIFICATION. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR ADVISED IT SOUNDED AS IF THERE WAS A POOR CONNECTION OF A BATTERY CABLE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF A IT'S A BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION ISSUE, THEN GM HAS ANOTHER SAFETY PROBLEM THEY NEED TO ADDRESS SINCE I'VE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, AND IN MY OPINION, THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IF BATTERY CABLES JUST COME LOOSE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. GM SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THE OTHER REPORTED ISSUES AND HAS TAKEN NO MEASURES TO CORRECT IT. MAYBE ALL OF US WHO OWN THEIR VEHICLES SHOULD FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THEY MIGHT GET OFF THEIR [XXX] AND DO SOMETHING! I CERTAINLY WON'T HESITATE TO FILE A CIVIL COMPLAINT FOR PRODUCT LIABILITY IF A FAMILY MEMBER IS HURT AS A RESULT OF THEIR CONTINUED NEGLIGENCE.

AIR CONDITIONING LINE RUBS AND BREAKS, TECH. BULLETIN HAS DEALERSHIP INSTALL BRACKET AT YOUR COST OF COURSE. PROBLEM IS IT BREAKS AGAIN, AND YOU GET TO SPEND ANOTHER 400 BUCKS SO YOU CAN USE THE AIR-CONDITIONING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW. THAT COMES AT THE CONSUMERS' EXPENSE.

WHILE CONDUCTING LOW SPEED MANUVEURS RADIO AND DASH FLASHES OFF, THEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS STILL IN DRIVE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST AND BRAKE ASSISTANCE. DASH AND RADIO TURN BACK ON AND WARNING MESSAGES STATING STABILITRAK DISABLED, STEERING ASSISTANCE REDUCED, 2 KEYS PROGRAMMED, OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVERS WINDOW, AND PARK ASSIST DISABLED ARE DISPLAYED. DEALERSHIP THINKS THIS COULD BE DUE TO CORROSION IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AT ANY SPEED IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING COMPLETELY DISABLING THE ENGINE, THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START AND SOMETIMES VEHICLE WON'T FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I WISH GM WOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE ONLY OWNED FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED I BOUGHT IT FROM PHIL LONG FORD IN COLORADO SPRINGS, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY ISSUES WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THEY'VE HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND I DON'T SEE THEM FINDING ANY ANSWERS

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL SNATCHES AWAY FROM YOUR HAND. WHEN DOING SO, THE LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK, THEN THE STABILITRACK LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND TWICE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. LUCKILY MY WIFE WAS TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT DID BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. SHE IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I OWE WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO TRADE IT IN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALERSHIP HERE AND THEY TRIED REPROGRAMMING IT DUE TO A RECALL BUT THAT DID NOT FIX IT. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE, THEY REPLIED THAT IT WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 1 1/2 HOUR LABOR TO DIAGNOSE IT AND THAT IT $110 AN HOUR. I'VE NOTICED WHILE LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE YEAR MODEL TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET STATE THAT IT IS A GROUNDING PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

STEER ASSIST AND STABILITRAK ERRORR MESSAGES. SAYS TO SERVICE. MY A/C UNIT IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS. IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL #17276 BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER OUR VIN DID NOT PULL IT UP. THE VEHICLE PULLS AND STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT. A/C UNIT BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN AND THE RPMS SHOOT UP. HAVE TO BREAK AND DECREASE SPEED FOR PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE RESETTING CRUISE CONTROL.

I HIT A POLE. HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD, MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS. NEARLY CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF OF THE ROAD. BECAUSE THEY DEPLOYED I SUFFERED BRUISING. THEY DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I HAD THE MINOR ACCIDENT, BUT ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTERWARDS.
