2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED BECAUSE OF A LEAKING CONDENSER WITH ONLY 51,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. I WROTE TO CHEVY AND THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE FEES I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR. THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, THIS SYSTEM FAILING WHEN JUST OUTSIDE WARRANTY IS NOT RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LANDERS MCLARTY CHEVROLET IN HUNTSVILLE, AL, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS A POPPING SOUND THAT IS HEARD..IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING SLOW, PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT, OR MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN.

WHILE AT A CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE A RECALL (17276 LOSS OF POWER STEERING) DONE ON MY TRUCK I ASKED THEM TO CHECK ON A GRINDING/WHINING NOISE FROM THE AREA OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ON THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IN FACT IT WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP, THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED OR I COULD EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THEY FURTHER EXPLAINED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT EXPIRED A YEAR AGO AND WOULD NOW COST ME SOME $440. AM WONDERING IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I'VE READ OF IT HAPPENING TO OTHERS ON CERTAIN INTERNET BLOG SITES. TO MY WAY OF THINKING THE BRAKES (AND I SUPPOSE LOSS OF ABS/TRACTION CONTROL) ARE AT LEAST AS IMPORTANT AS THE STEERING THAT WAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM TO ISSUE A RECALL. BTW THE TRUCK HAD 27,971 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, HARDLY 'WARN OUT'.

THIS BRAKE ISSUE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HASN'T MADE THIS A RECALL YET. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY BRAKES HAVE STIFFENED UP AND STOPPED WORKING. ONE TIME WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE DITCH TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ANOTHER TIME WAS IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND I NEARLY HIT A PARKED TRUCK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. GM, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THE AC UNIT BEGAN BLOWING WARM AIR. I AM NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MYSELF AND MY INFANT SON WHILE BEING EXPOSED TO POTENTIALLY LETHAL TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE CAR. EVERY TIME I REMOVE MY SON FROM HIS CAR SEAT HE IS SWEATING. IN ADDITION, IF IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE MY WINDOWS BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF SINCE THE DEFROSTER IS LINKED TO A PROPERLY WORKING AC UNIT. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN ALL SIMILAR VEHICLES AND HAS REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE HAZARD OR MITIGATE THE HEAT EXPOSURE TO MY CHILD.

FAILURE OF STEERING, STABILITRAC, STEREO. WHEN YOU TRY TO STEER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, THE HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER, THE RADIO WOULD MAKE A SHORTING SOUND, AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAC WOULD DISPLAY. AN ONLINE SEARCH FOUND SEVERAL THREADS ON THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF KILLING SOMEONE. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (PIT5405A) RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, YET THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL? THE MOST COMMON SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE SOME RUBBER INSULATION PINCHED UNDER A GROUND LUG UNDER THE DASH SO IT'S NOT MAINTENANCE RELATED. YET, THEY ARE CHARGING OWNERS TO FIX IT?
