2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

ON MARCH 1, 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO. WHEN I MADE A TURN MY POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. MY VEHICLL HAS 51,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAD PREVIOUSLY FIXED A RECALL ISSUE RELATED TO POWER STEERING, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD COST $2500 AND WAS NOT COVERED. GM AGREED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND OFFERED $1000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR.

THE STABILITYTRACK WILL FLASH ON AND MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER OR WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF MY HAND AND NOT LET ME MANEUVER THE WAY I WANT TO. AT THE SAME TIME THE TRUCK WILL BRIEFLY LOSE ALL POWER DISABLING EVERYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AS WELL AS EVERYDAY CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING AND AT ALL SPEEDS FROM AS SLOW AS 5MPH TO AS FAST AS 70MPH. THERE HAS 2 TIMES AFTER THIS HAPPENS THAT I TURN THE TRUCK OFF TO TRY TO RESTART IT, THE TRUCK WILL BE COMPLETELY DEAD. NOT EVEN THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL COME ON. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHERE I WILL LOSE ALL POWER TO MY RADIO AND DRIVER INFO CENTER AND IT STAYS BLACK UNTIL I RESTART THE TRUCK A FEW TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NOW 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW AND EVERY TIME THEY SAY ITS SOMETHING NEW. I HAVE PAID A LITTLE OVER $800 SO FAR AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I AM NOW WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM GM/CHEVY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, BUT LOOKING AT WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH IT I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND I AM AFRAID THAT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER MY STEERING AND I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK.

IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR IN A PARKING LOT IF YOU ARE ON AND OFF THE BREAKS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE BREAK PETAL WILL GET HARD AND THE BREAKS GO OUT. IVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO CHEVROLET CORPORATE AND THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFTEY CONCERN AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT

VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR CAUSING A COOLANT LEAK, AND ENGINE OIL TO ENTER THE COOLING SYSTEM. GENERAL MOTORS AS ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE #15829 APPLYING TO THIS YEAR AND MODEL SILVERADO, BUT ONLY CERTAIN VIN'S APPLY FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THIS ISSUE.

DEALER NOW WANT'S $1,300.00 TO REPAIR WHAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A KNOWN DEFECT ADDRESSED ONLY PARTIALLY BY SPECIAL COVERAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V414000 (STEERING) IN AUGUST OF 2017. DURING THE SERVICE, THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED PER THE RECALL REMEDY. THE VEHICLE LATER BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE POWER STEERING FAILURES WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALER (FURMAN CHEVROLET OF BRANDON, 9751 ADAMO DR. TAMPA, FL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FAILURES WERE DUE TO A FAULTY STEERING WHEEL SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE BACK OF A SHOPPING PLAZA WHEN MY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A STALLING SOUND FOLLOWED BY MY BELTS SQUEALING. MY GAUGES LOOKED FINE AND THEN I LOOKED AT MY SIDE MIRROR TO SEE SMOKE TRAILING MY VEHICLE. I STOP AND OPEN MY HOOD TO SEE THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FILLED WITH SMOKE. I COULDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE AT THAT POINT TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME MY A.C. COMPRESSOR SEIZED UP DUE TO LACK OF OIL IN THE COMPRESSOR AND MY ENGINE BELT WAS DESTROYED (WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE). I DID NOTICE EVERY TIME I TURNED THE FAN ON IN MY VEHICLE THE A.C. LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS COME ON BY ITSELF ENGAGING THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE A.C. SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 39450 MILES ON IT AND THIS INCIDENT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST $1000 FOR THE REPAIR.

"TAKATA RECALL" DRIVING ON N LOOP 820. VEHICLE DRIVING AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO SWERVE, AND I AVOIDED THE CAR. ROADS WERE MODERATELY WET--I WAS TRAVELLING AROUND 40 MPH DUE TO POSSIBLE ICE ON OVERPASS. I WAS IN EXTREME LEFT LANE, BEGAN TO SLIDE AND TURNED INTO THE DIRECTION I SKIDDED AND MADE CONTACT WITH CENTER MEDIAN OF HIGHWAY. NEXT EXIT WAS CAMPUS DRIVE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SENSOR WAS ILLUMINATED. I CALLED 911 AND POLICE VEHICLE ARRIVED AN HOUR LATER. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE MOST EXTREME LEFT HAND LANE BLOCKING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE SENSOR REMAINED ON, BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WAS TOWED TO BRUCE LOWRIE CHEVROLET.

RADIATOR RECALL 15829 REF#N15170099 HAD TO HAVE MY RADIATOR REPLACED DUE TO A MFG DEFECT . GM ADVISED ME THAT MY VIN# NOT IN THE RECALL

I HAD MY 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AT THE TIME THAT I LOST CONTROL ON MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. I WAS TURNING AND THE WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN ON ITS OWN AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL. THE INTERNAL COMPUTER KEPT SWITCHING ON AND OFF AS IF IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND BEING AT FAULT OF AN ACCIDENT, NOT TO MENTION THE DANGER MY DAUGHTER WAS IN. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT I HIT A SIDEWALK DAMAGING THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE ON MY BUMPER. I WILL NEVER AGAIN MAKE ANOTHER CHEVROLET PURCHASE, AND PUT MY DAUGHTERS LIFE IN DANGER.
