2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

POWER STEERING GOES OFF AND WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS INTERMEDTIALY WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN STOP TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND IT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON AND WORK FOR A SHORT TIME.

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, THE PUMP STOPS CONTINUOUSLY, AS THE HANDLE SHUTS OFF AS FUEL WILL NOT FLOW INTO TANK. FUEL IS UNABLE TO FLOW INTO TANK, SO HANDLE SHUTS OFF. YOU HAVE TO FUEL AT ONLY A TRICKLE. YOU SPEND TWENTY MINUTES TO TRY AND FILL THE VEHICLE. IF THE SYSTEM IS FOR VAPOR CONTROL IT HAS FAILED BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN. YOU SPEND SEVEN TIMES MORE TIME,, STANDING AROUND PLAYING WITH THE FUELING HANDLE TO GET SOME FUEL INTO THE SYSTEM, THAN A SIMILAR VEHICLE NEXT TO YOU.

AC CONDENSER FAILURE CAUSING REFRIGERANT TO LEAK. AC SYSTEM DOES NOT BLOW COLD/DRY AIR TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD ADEQUATELY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. REFRIGERANT LEAK INTO GARAGE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BACK GLASS SHATTERED AS THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE GLASS HAS REAR DEFROST HEAT WIRES IN IT AND APPARENTLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS GLASS. OTHER REPORTS SAY THERE IS A SPALL IN THE GLASS AND IT IS HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY.

I'VE NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN BACKING UP AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THAT THE BRAKES ARE VERY WEAK. I'VE HAD TO APPLY VERY HARD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO STOP AND VERY NEARLY HIT A LIGHT POLE ONCE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN HUMID OR RAINY WEATHER. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED, PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED OUT FINE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH ANOTHER SILVERADO OWNER WHO NOTICED THE SAME ISSUE.

TWO TIMES TONIGHT WITH TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. CURRENT GENERATION CHEVY SILVERADO "LOW" BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREME DANGER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN BEING APPROACHED BY CURRENT (2014 & NEWER) SILVERADOS THE ONCOMING DRIVERS "DIMMED" THEIR LIGHTS RESULTING IN NO CHANGE TO THE BLINDING LIGHT APPROACHING ME. THE ONLY WAY I COULD TELL THAT THE DRIVERS "DIMMED" THEIR LIGHTS WAS THE CHANGE FROM 4 ONCOMING LIGHTS TO 2 ONCOMING LIGHTS, THE BLINDING INTENSITY REMAINED THE SAME. THIS MARKS THE UMPTEEN-THOUSANDTH TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY BLINDED BY CURRENT GENERATION SILVERADO "LOW" BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I MIGHT AS WELL DRIVE WITH MY EYES CLOSED BECAUSE I AM TOTALLY BLIND AFTER MEETING AN ONCOMING CURRENT GENERATION SILVERADO.

MY BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, AND WHEN I WOULD BE GOING AT A LOW SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULD GET VERY HARD AND STIFF. I WOULD HAVE TO APPLY ALL POSSIBLE WEIGHT I CAN IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT A VACUUM PUMP IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE SEEING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT SOMEBODY, OR BEEN UNABLE TO STOP WHEN BACKING INTO MY GARAGE. IF IT HAD BEEN MY WIFE DRIVING, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED WITH HOW HARD I WAS HAVING TO PRESS THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT IN MOTION, AND ALSO WHILE BACKING INTO MY GARAGE

I PURCHASE A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2017 FOR MY SON TO GO TO COLLEGE. THE TRUCK WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT WAS A "CERTIFIED USED VECHICLE". THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED AN ADDITIONAL 20,000 MILE OVER OEM WARRANTY WITH THE CERTIFIED STATUS. WE TOOK THE TRUCK HOME AND MY SON STARTED DRIVING THE TRUCK. ROUGHLY A MONTH LATER, WE BOTH NOTICE THE CLEAR COAT ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BEGAN TO PEEL IN A SMALL SPOT. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT IT'S 1ST SERVICE INTERVAL AND ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE SPOT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS WAS A VERY UNUSUAL SITUATION, AND UNFORTUNATELY SINCE THE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER AN ANOTHER MONTH HAD PASSED, WE NOTICED THE SPOT ON THE DOOR HAD GROWN LARGER, AND THERE WERE ADDITIONAL SPOTS POPPING UP ON VARIOUS SPOTS ON THE TRUCK. I PERSONALLY TOOK THE VECHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ONCE AGAIN THEY INDICATED THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND CHEVROLET CURRENTLY WASN'T EXPERIENCING AND ISSUES WITH THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT PROCESS. MY SON WENT TO COLLEGE THIS FALL, AND UPON HIS RETURN FROM COLLEGE I SAW THE SPOTS OF CLEAR COAT CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN SIZE AND NUMBER. I RECENTLY WENT ONLINE AND CLICKED SEVERAL CHEVROLET FORUMS REGARDING THE FALLIBILITY OF THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. THIS WASN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS THE DEALER INDICATED BUT ONE THAT INVOLVES MANY TRUCKS AND CARS THAT CHEVROLET PRODUCES DURING THE YEARS OF 2013-2015. CAN THERE BE SOMETHING DONE REGARDING THIS MATTER. I AM AWARE THAT THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE PER SAY; HOWEVER, WE HAVE A PROBLEM THAT CHEVROLET ISN'T WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WOULD NOT PRODUCE COLD AIR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. WALT MASSEY CHEVROLET BUICK (1221 OLD 63 SOUTH, LUCEDALE, MS) DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDENSER HAD A CRACK AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

CHEVY IS AWARDED ABOUT ISSUE WITH THE AIRCONDITIOING, AND EXPECTS A COSTUMER TO PAY 500 TO GET IT FIX
