2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

WHILE TRANSPORTING MY 27FT CAMPER TO CAMPGROUND, MULTIPLE TIME DURING TRANSPORTATION THE BREAKS HAD TO BE PUSHED CLEAR TO THE FLOOR AND WERE NOT ACTIVATING BREAK SYSTEM! VERY SCARY!! ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER RETURNING HOME AND NO CAMPER ATTACHED WHILE ON VERY WINDING AND STEEP ROUTE!!

SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN 2014 I HAVE REPLACED BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEAD LAMPS A MULTITUDE OF TIMES. TOO MANY TO COUNT. SOMETIMES THEY LAST A COUPLE MONTHS, SOMETIMES LONGER. THIS IS ABSURD.

I HAVE SEVERAL DTC CODES U029D U029E P0420 P220B ON THREE OCCASIONS. THESE CODE ARE TRIGGERING A LIMITED SPEED AND POSSIBLE POWER REDUCTION. THE DEALER SHIP STATES THAT GMC PROTOCOL IS TO REPLACE ONE SENSOR AT A TIME AND LET THE CUSTOMER GO SO THEY CAN BREAKDOWN AGAIN. THE PART THAT IS FAILING I AM TOLD IS THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER, BUT GMC CAN NOT SUPPLY THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE HIGH DEMAND. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY DESIGN THAT MAY WORK DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT SHORTY FAILS AFTER. I DID REPORT EXHAUST SMELL IN THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING . I WAS GIVEN A REPORT AND A LARGE REPAIR BILL ONLY TO BREAKDOWN IN 126 MILES.

AIR COMPRESSOR MALFUNCTION. DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AT AROUND FIVE MILES AN HOUR AND HEARD A STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SOUND STOPPED (LIKE A POP). DROVE ABOUT 200 FEET AND THE CABIN BEGAN TO FILL WITH SMOKE. DROVE THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT. ALL THE GAUGES WHERE NORMAL. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE BAND BUT SAID THAT IT WAS THE AIR COMPRESSOR (MOTOR). HE SAID THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN A TRUCK THIS NEW. HE RECOMMENDED CHECKING FOR ANY RECALLS. PRIOR TO THIS THERE WHERE NO ISSUES.

AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN BACKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL GET HARD AND THEN LOOSEND UP. MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL GET HARD AGAIN AND THEN LOOSENDS UP. IT BECOMES A STRUGGLE TO TURN GET HARD AND THEN LOOSENDS UP. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT 30000 MILES AND CONTINUES. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY UNSAFE IF THAT STEERING DOES NOT LOOSEN UP AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT COULD MEAN DEATH AND INJURIES TO OTHER PARTIES. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN TO US OVER 15 TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW OF THE LOT, IM THE ONLY OWNER.

I BOUGHT MY 2014 CHEVY K2500 DURMAX DIESEL 4X4 I BOUGHT IT UNDER THE IMPRESSION I WAS TOLD IT WOULD GET REALLY GOOD GAS MILEAGE AND ITS HORRIBLE THE SALESMAN SAID THE NEW REQUIREMENTS THAT GM DONE TO THE EXHAUST AND FUEL THE GOV. REQUIRED WAS TO HELP ON POLLUTION AND FUEL MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO THE FUEL ECONOMY IS HORRIBLE.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP NAME APART INTERNALLY CRACKING CASE SPRAYING FUEL ON HOT ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD, ALSO SENDING METAL PIECES THROUGH FUEL SYSTEM TO INJECTORS MAKING THEM USELESS AND NEEDING REPLACED. THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP IS LOCATED ON TOP OF BLOCK IN FRONT OF TURBO WHICH GETS EXTREMELY HOT, LUCKILY DIDN'T CATCH FIRE

THE TCM MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER BEING REPLACED THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T PERFORM AS IT DID BEFORE THE REPAIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE WITH ALL CHEVROLET TRUCKS FROM VARIOUS YEARS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE BLOGS FROM OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS THAT SHOW THE EXTENT OF THE ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $ 1000.00 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS THAT HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER; ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN HILL TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND YOUR TRANSMISSION DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTS; IT SEEMS AS THOUGH GM WANTS OWNERS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SOME MAY NOT AND THIS COULD LEAD TO UNSAFE TRUCKS BEING ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU.

WHILE TURNING LOW SPEED(USUALLY LEFT) POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2015. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER ON (3) OCCASIONS(SUBURBAN AUTO GROUP IN SANDY OREGON. TAG NUMBER ON FIRST VISIT IS #2288, 2ND VISIT #3639, 3RD VISIT #4698. THEY HAVE RECALLED 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS I AM EXPERIENCING. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU LOOK AT THE SILVERADO 2500 WITH THE SAME SCRUTINY. THE DEALER WANTS ME TO START REPLACING PARTS AT MY COST TO REPAIR A VEHICLE I BELIEVE TO BE DEFECTIVE.

TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT A LOW SPEED (I.E. BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN INTO A GARAGE).
