2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

A/C ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR, CANNOT DEFOG WINDOWS AT CERTAIN TIMES AND INCREASES THE LIKELY HOOD OF MY NEWBORN GETTING OVER HEATED. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID IT IS THE NHTSA THAT WILL NOT DO THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT DANGEROUS. WELL WE WILL SEE HOW DANGEROUS IT IS WHEN WE CANT SEE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DEFOG WINDOW OR WHAT THE HOSPITAL BILL WILL BE WHEN MY NEWBORN OVERHEATS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR AND BRACKET FOR THE HOSE. A 2014 SHOULD NOT NEED A $1600.00 REPAIR. THAT IS 3 MONTHS PAYMENTS FOR A A/C.

PAINT IS PEELING. STARTED OUT WITH A SMALL PIECE OF PAINT PEELING ON THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS EVENING I FOUND A MUCH LARGER PLACE MISSING PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2014+ MODEL YEARS. IS ANYTHING BEING RESEARCHED OR DONE ABOUT THIS SO THAT GM IS WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE? I EXPECT MORE FROM A $40K+ VEHICLE.

WHILE TURNING MY TRUCK ALL ELECTRONICS WANT TO FLASH MY LOCKS WILL LOCK /UNLOCK,MY LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OR FLASH, PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE WILL POP UP ON DASHBOARD AND MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IM TRYING TO TURN

MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER TWICE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS. ONCE BY MYSELF AND THE SECOND WITH MY FOUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER FIRST INCIDENT PAID 300 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEN IT HAPPEND AGAIN THE SECOND TIME IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY FOUR YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2017 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING MINE ISN'T UNDER THAT RECALL AND REFUSING TO FIX IT. BOTH TIMES IT HAS HAPPEND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT AND THE TRUCK POWER SHUTS DOWN AND LOCKS UP ANYTHING CONNECTED TO THE TRUCK. ( FOR EXAMPLE MY PHONE WAS CHARGING AND IT LOCKED UP MY PHONE AFTER IT DID THIS) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT GET THE CHEVY(GENERAL MOTORS) DEALERSHIP TO HELP ME. THEY ARE CLAIMING NOT TO HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL IN 2017 AT ALL. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT HAS DONE THIS TO ME NOW 2 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. BOTH TIMES IN VERY BUSY AREAS WHERE MY TRUCK STALLS AND LOOSES POWER STEERING.

MY COMPLAINT IS HARD BRAKES. WHILE MOVING SLOW I EXPERIENCE HARD BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO STOP ROLLING. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY HAZZARD AND CONCERN. THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE DRIVEING AND COMEING TO A STOP BRAKE PETAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD . ALMOST RAN INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME .SPOKE WITH LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE VACUUM PUMP WAS THE PROBLEM AND MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR UNLESS I PAID FOR IT . MY TRUCK HAS 80000 MILES ON IT BUT WE USE IT TO TRAVEL .THIS SOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE .

HEATED SEATS WORKING TO MFG SPECS PER DEALER BUT NO HEAT CAN BE FELT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HEAR THIS COMPLAINT FROM MANY AND THAT IT IS A POOR DESIGN ON THE PART OF THE MFG. I LOOKED ON SOCIAL MEDIA & MESSAGE BOARDS TO FIND THIS ISSUE IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. CHEVY SAYS THERE IS NO ISSUE BECAUSE SEATS ARE WORKING TO SPECS, WON'T GIVE ANY INFO FOR WHO ELSE TO CONTACT AT CHEVY TO ADDRESS THIS WIDESPREAD COMMON COMPLAINT. CHEVY REP SAYS THEY WILL NEED TO BE COMPELLED BY FEDERAL GOV TO ISSUE ANY RECALL AND WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY ADDRESS IT EVEN IF IT IS DETERMINED TO BE A POOR DESIGN. CONSUMERS PAID FOR HEATED SEATS THAT DUE TO A POOR DESIGN, DO NOT GET HOT, AND CHEVROLET IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. BASED UPON SOCIAL MEDIA & MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE, THE COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE SPECIFIC TO THE HEATED & AIR CONDITIONED LEATHER BUCKET SEATS IN THE 2014 & 2015 SILVERADO AND LIKELY GMC SIERRA AS WELL. CHEVY APPARENTLY KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND POSSIBLY REDESIGNED THE SEATS FOR THE 16 AND NEWER MODELS AS THERE ARE FEW COMPLAINTS THAT I COULD FIND FOR THOSE MODEL YEARS. IT SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO 2 MODEL YEARS AND ONE TYPE OF SEAT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE CONTACTS AT CHEVROLET TO COMPEL THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS THE FEATURE THEY PAID FOR, HEATED SEATS THAT ACTUALLY GET WARM. MINE STAY COOL TO THE TOUCH ON MY 30 MILE, 45 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK DESPITE BEING TOLD THAT THEY ARE WORKING TO MFG SPEC. I HAVE HEATED SEATS IN BOTH MY CAMARO & IMPALA THAT HEAT UP NICELY IN JUST A FEW SECONDS AND THAT IS WHAT I EXPECT IN MY NEWER, TWICE AS EXPENSIVE, SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY. PLEASE COMPEL THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL OR MONETARY SETTLEMENT TO REIMBURSE FOR A FEATURE THAT DOES NOT PERFORM THE TASK ADVERTISED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 70 MPH. THE FAILURE BEGAN IN OCTOBER OF 2014.
