2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. WITHIN SECONDS THE ENGINE RESTARTS. THE MOST COMMON OCCURRENCE IS WHEN TRAVELING ON BUMPY ROADS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, THE SAME WILL HAPPEN, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL DISCONNECT, AND CANNOT BE RESET UNTIL AROUND 30 MINUTES. AGAIN, THE ENGINE WILL DIE AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THIS IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STARTED RATTLING, AND THE ENGINE AND TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,210.

NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. I WANT TO REPORT THE ACTIONS OF A TRUCKER WHILE ON A TRIP TO NY TO VISIT RELATIVES. WE WERE DRIVING ON 95N IN THE PASSING LANE. A TRACTOR/TRAILER CAME ROLLING UPON US, BLOWING THE HORN FOR US TO GET IN THE SLOW LANE. WE MOVED TO THE SLOW LANE, THE TRUCK PASSED, GIVING MY HUSBAND THE FINGER AS HE DROVE BY, THEN ATTEMPTED TO RUN US OFF THE ROAD. HE SWERVED HIS VEHICLE TOWARDS OURS, CAUSING US TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE, BUT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS DRIVING EXTREMELY RECKLESS AND ATTEMPTING TO RUN US OFF THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A PETERBILT, PENNSYLVANIA LICENSE TAG # PT821A1. THE NAME ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS "LEE'S EXCAVATING" AND THERE WAS A REBEL FLAG COVERING THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GRAVEL GUARD AROUND THE FUEL TANK WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE BY POURING WATER ON THE FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,030.

SHIFTED TRUCK INTO REVERSE WHILE PLOWING MY DRIVEWAY, TRUCK MADE A LARGE SNAP SOUND IN FRONT END AND WOULDN'T MOVE - OIL WAS DISPERSED ALL OVER THE GROUND. IN THE END - FRONT YOKE BROKE, CAUSING DRIVE SHAFT TO HIT OIL FILTER AND BUSTING IT OFF. TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO NO COST BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS. HAD I BEEN MOVING THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A TRUCK TO FLIP END FOR END. *TR

ON OCTOBER 21, 2014 THE ENTIRE FUSE PANEL MELTED DOWN AND CAUGHT FIRE. THE TRUCK HAD STOPPED RUNNING. THE HOOD WAS ABLE TO BE RAISED AND THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. GM HAS TAKEN NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS AGREED TO PAY THE REPAIR BILL. THE CLAIM 048186-GB HAS BEEN SENT TO GM FOR REPAYMENT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BY GM. THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE #14515 WHICH I BELIEVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. TO THIS DAY THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE REPAIR SHOP WAITING ON PARTS. *TR

THE ABS ENGAGES AT SLOW SPEEDS INCLUDING DRY CONDITIONS, LEADING TO TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. *TR

THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM BROKE, THE YOKE OR UNIVERSAL JOINT GAVE OUT AT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE DEALER AND GENERAL MOTORS ARE SAYING IT HAD TO BE DUE TO WORKING THE TRUCK TO HARD, OR BEYOND THE ABILITIES OF THE TRUCK. NO ONE TOOK ANY STEPS TO SEE IF ANY OF THESE PARTS HAD A DEFECT, THE QUESTION OF A POSSIBLE DEFECTED PART WAS RAISED, AND QUICKLY DISMISSED!!!!!! THIS MY WARNING TO ANY ONE WHO IS THINKING OF BUYING A GM TRUCK. DO YOU REALLY HAVE ANY WARRANTY COVERAGE? *TR
