I was going north when a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of me. I braked as quickly as possible, the 2014 chevy silverado that i was driving only slowly came to a stop. Unfortunately, i rearended another vehicle. Thankfully i had not gotten up to the speed limit (30mph) and was only going 20mph.my truck would not brake quickly. No screeching tires, no black marks on the road. The stop was so slow that i had time to turn the steering wheel and only damage part of my front end. The grill, bumper, and hood were smashed in. No airbags came out of the truck, and my onstar service sensor did not go off. After colliding with the vehicle my 2014 chevy shut off by itself. I had the brake still depressed & put the truck into park.

This was happening in cooler weather. I have a 2014 chevrolet silverado. When starting the vehicle, the ignition key would stick in the start position and then return to the run position. This has happened probably half a dozen times.i see that there is a recall on older models, but apparently some newer ones , such as mine should be included.

First incident the stabilitrack service light flashed so fast i could barely read it.. Second incident happened on september 20,2015 and it happened twice. The stabilitrack light came on again but this time the door locks locked and unlocked , lights went off and on , radio went off and on and it stalled the engine almost as if the vehicle shorted out. Luckily i was pulling into a parking lot because i had no control. I apllied the brake and put the vehicle in park and it restarted. About 45 minutes later it did the same exact thing as i was pulling into my driveway. It is at the dealership now.
I purchased a 2014 silverado crew cab ltz z71 on august 16. Almost immediately it began having issues with the safety systems that were extra modules on this vehicle.parking assist sensors do not work consistently, lane departure warning system fails to initialize or operate consistently and downhill grade breaking system fails to initialize or operate consistently, forward collision warning system fails to initialize and operate consistently.(i have photographs of the safety features failing).in addition, the heated/cooled seats (driver side) overheats with driver weighing 280 lbs - causing rear vent /exhaust covers to separate from the seat. Seat gets very hot- passengers in back of vehicle complain about extreme heat (again photographed failures)failures with safety system functionality are described by multiple owners of the same model truck (ltz) that i purchased.same problems are described throughout this thread http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/152662-any-new-2014-silverado-owners-having-issues-with-their-trucktook to dealership- they kept for two days. Unable to reproduce problems.bcm and infotainment center updates failed to resolve. Heated/cooled seat overheating was not resolved- however, i duplicated it immediately upon departing from the dealership.mileage is now 4300 miles with same problems.gm case [xxx] was opened on 9/9/13 and all issues remain unresolved after bcm update.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Drive train shifts hard & @ times does not shift correctly( while driving city streets) & engine stalls when i excelerate from a stoping point & also ticking noise from exhaust system ( in motion & stationary city streets).
The forward collision alert system is not safe. I have had this go off on me over 100 times in 25,000 miles and almost causing an accident a few times. The led on the dash will flash and the seat will vibrate causing you to react thinking you are getting ready to hit something. This occurs in 3 situations:1)approaching an underpass while the sun is shining into the windshield, which is daily for me during my commute. 2) in a lane on the highway closest to the barrier wall, it thinks you are going to hit it head on i guess. 3) on a 2 lane side road with approaching cars are the are passing by on your drivers side. I have not been able to detect if this is due to the sunshine or head lights. So this causes a major alert reaction to you each time, this is a big safety issue as a reaction to nothing but alerts can cause an accident in itself.
Note:the truck would not crank two time before i started taking it to the dealer on the following dates.1/21/14 truck would not crank, the sevice deptment could not find anything wrong3/17/14 truck would not crank, towed to dealer, found body control module not working properly3/24/14 truck would not crank, towed to dealer, found body control module not working properlythis is getting old!!
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact had not experienced a failure prior to having the vehicle repaired for a manufacturer recall concerning the 4 wheel drive function ability. Also, the engine control module was reprogrammed. Shortly after the repair by the dealer, the vehicle manually shifted into 4 wheel drive when in reverse or drive and would not disengage in inclement weather. In addition, the vehicle idled roughly, shuttered, and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for further inspection and the battery was replaced.

The reception for the radio is horrible in both fm and fm-hd.gm supposedly has a reprogram for fm only but not hd...
Why can,t the dealership find the promble
I started having problems with the electrical in the truck starting with the windows. I informed dealership and that the stabilitrak was going off saying that the steering was failing. The problem has continued to present and now the truck is shutting itself off while going down the road losing all steering and turning itself back on. My family was in the truck and we almost rolled into a parking structure, i lost all power and steering to truck had no control at all. The truck continues to have issues and this after i took it in to have it fixed. Dealer made problem worse.

I don't like the auto locks on all the doors. If you don't put the truck in park, the doors will not unlock, and if the kids pull the handle before i put in park, you have to go outside the truck and open the door. I have turned off all the locks and it still does it, and the dealership says that is just the way they are made now. If i was in an accident and the car was still in gear, my kids would be trapped in the truck, because even hitting the unlock buttons will not open the doors. This is very concerning, i can't even drop the kids off at school in the line because i have to put the truck in park in order for the doors to unlock and that is after i hit the unlock button to get them to unlock. This is very scary to my wife and i. What can be done? thanks.
While driving my 2014 chevy silverado, i have had 3 instances where the stability control light came on and i suddenly lost lost all steering and brakes.within a 2-3 seconds the cluster and radio went dead and then the engine stopped.i had no ability to control the vehicle.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated the logs showed 1 1/2 pages of vehicle communications errors including loss of communications to steering, loss of communications to brakes, etc. After 8 days of analysis, the dealer notified me that this was a known issue with gm and that there is an active pi number for the issue.however, there is no known resolution for the issue.because there is no known solution, they asked me to come pick up the vehicle and continue driving it and they will contact me when a solution is found.when i asked if they understood that i could lose control of the vehicle and potential kill myself, a family member of another driver they only told me that they had no other suggestions.i escalated to gm customer care and they assured me that because there are no open recalls on my vehicle for this issue, it was completely safe to drive and that i shouldn't worry.a search of the internet revealed many people who have had the exact same experience and who were told to continue driving the vehicle.one even stated that they hit a pedestrian after losing control of the truck.this issue is obviously a huge safety risk as the driver can lose complete control of the vehicle at any speed.
I was stopped at a red light when my vehicle was rear endedlocal police estimated other vehicle's speed to be 45-50mph upon impact.

Was driving to physical therapy. Pulled up to a stop light and "stabilitrack failure" poped up. Was pulling into the doctors office not 8 min l8r came up again but this time steering wheel locked up then un locked then locked up multiple times while i was trying to pull into a parking space. Thankfully i was going at an extremely low speed and i could control the vehicle between it locking and unlocking. When i left the doctors office i noticed my settings reset. Ex dashboard display showed the radio station instead of the fuel economy. I simply changed it and noticed the computer erased my previous fuel economy. I'm assuming theirs some malfunction between the computer and these systems. And from the looks of it my vehicle isn't the only vehicle with this issue. Now my check engine light is on and i'll be taking this back to the dealer and it will be fixed and never happen again or i won't purchase another gm vehicle.
Drove 15 miles to store. Shopped. Started home engine light came on. Tcl light staying on and truck shaking will barely run.
Bad shake at highway speeds, balancing tires didn't help, faulty steering components could be a safety issue.

I pulled out of a parking lot on to a city street and pressed the gas pedal a little, planning to get up to about 25 mph because there was a red light a block away.the truck responded as if i had floored the pedal.i took my foot off of the pedal and the truck kept accelerating at full throttle.i hit the brakes thinking the cruise control had gone nuts, but hitting the brakes would not turn it off.it kept accelerating with the tach over 5000.i shifted to neutral and the engine speed dropped down to idle. The light turned green and i shifted back to drive and the engine immediately started accelerating again at full throttle.i put it back in neutral, moved over to the shoulder and turned the key off.then i started the engine again and the problem disappeared.i'm 72; if my wife had been driving by herself, she probably would have had a serious wreck.the truck is a 2014 silverado, bought 4 weeks ago, 6 cylinder work truck.

I bought a brand new2014 chevrolet silverado 1 week ago today. The vehicle was delivered 2 days ago.the chevroletdealerdid not inform me of the recall for possible engine fire. I checked my vin number onlineand it shows that my vehicle has been recalled about a month ago and it still has a warning for not being serviced as perchevrolet and nhtsa websites.basically, the chevrolet dealer sold me a new vehicle on recall against the companypolicy, document dcs3115 (notice to dealers),as posted on this website .the dealer did not inform meif there was any reprogramming done as required by the manufacturer.i called thegeneral sales manager who knows my vehicletoday and he did not know about the recall at all and stated he get back to me .according to gm customer care and aftersales on your website , all chevrolet and gm dealers were sent and urgentstop delivery orderon january 10, 2014 addressed to the dealer, general mangers, new vehicle sales managers and service managersto stop delivery of the chevrolet silverado and to reprogram them prior to sales.in the mean time i am stuck with this vehicle and do not know whether it was servicedor whether it is at risk of catching fire.this has shown lack of confidence in chevrolet and its local dealer incommunication, trust, and confidence. It has placed me and my family at risk. It has violated their responsibility of disclosure to the customer and has been negligent in its policies and protocol in the handling of recall as mandated by its customer policies gm customer care dsc3115 and us department of transportation nhtsamotor vehicle safety title 49, united states code chapter 301of may 2013, office of the chief counsel.please investigate .
Truck engine completely shut off while driving in normal traffic. Coasted to side of the road and restarted the truck. Check engine light was on solid. Took to a chevrolet dealer who refused to work on it but told me the 3 codes showing related to the camshaft. Drove the truck home and it felt like it was misfiring as it was jerking around the entire time. Chevrolet had it towed to another dealer who said, again, there is nothing wrong. Told them this is a clear safety issue and the dealers are just clearing the codes because they do not want to take on the warranty work. Awaiting resolution from general motors. They told me for now, i just need to drive it until it happens again.
I started hearing some ticking. And no big deal the next day the motor just vibrated and them stopped accelerating, started rattling. Freaked me out big time, i've only had the vehicle for about 2 months. I'm no mechanic, but this ain't normal. I fear the worst.
Drove home from dealer on highway, very noticeable pulsing vibration felt in gas pedal once i hit 65mph.vehicle also "shakes" at a constant rate at 50mph, and more violently at 82-85mph.drove up to 500 miles per dealers direction, problem still exists and has not gone away at all.

I own a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While traveling t a a low rate of speed/under 40 mph, there is a sudden loss of power. The vehicle hesitates numerous times and stalls.

Drove 15 miles to store. Shopped. Started home engine light came on. Tcl light staying on and truck shaking will barely run.
Truck got hot and engine power reduction light came on also check engine light. Message reset when turned off and restarted but check engine light still on and truck runs hot. Power reduction was while i was on highway and truck would not go above 1000 rpm
Purchased a new 1500 in may of 2014 and a few months later noticed the engine has a random miss both while driving as well as at idle. Will experience a significant jerk and will also hesitate to pick up speed shortly after experiencing the jerk. I have reported this problem to chevroleton numerous occasions, but only have 4 invoices (from 11/20/14-8/26/15) with the complaint listed. Each time chevrolet stated no problem found or present except for the most recent invoice dated aug. 26, 2015 in which after chevrolet service manager became involved because i complained about an unresolved issue, he did state that the problem was noticed by a "senior service technician" and since no code was present to diagnose or correct the problem, gm was contacted. Was told by the service manager that gm stated "they are aware of the concern but as yet have not formulated a repair." i am presently still experiencing the issue, but since gm has not "formulated a repair" for an issue that they are unsure of the cause and in which they feel "is not a safety issue" i am driving a vehicle that could stall at any given time. Be sure each complaint is documented via invoice number and make sure what you are told via phone and or in person is what is stated on the invoice.
2014 silverado shakes at various speeds.has been a problem since the date of purchase and have been told by the dealership that there was nothing they could do to fix it.there have been complaints of this happening on the vehicle dating back to oct. 2013, gm has been aware that the vehicle shakes and that has not been a recall issued.dealerships are still selling the truck knowing that there has been numerous problems reported.
Upon startup, my truck's check engine light illuminated.the car was restarted and the light did not clear.car was taken to dealer at 10,383 miles.they checked the codes and received a hard code p0420 bank 1, catalytic converter failure.the catalytic converter was replaced and the codes cleared out.mainly reporting this because the truck is four and a half months old and has 10,383 miles upon failure.catalytic converters should last longer.
After vehicle sits in hot sunlight for extended period of time, and ac is ran-- there is a loud "popping noise" from the center area of the dash.the sound is very similar to a rock or object hitting the windshield.this issue has continued and recently took vehicle in for other recall issue and had them check this.the service adviser first told me they duplicated the issue and would have to dismantled the dash for further diagnostics.the vehicle was in the shop for over a week, and they told me the issue seemed corrected.the completed service ticket indicates problem could not be duplicated or determined.the day i drove home from the shop the vehicle made this same noise three times.i will be taking vehicle to different gm dealer for follow up.
2014 chevrolet silverado.consumer writes in regards to malfunction of pedal adjustment.the consumer stated the cargo light button and pedal adjustment button did not work, only a day after purchasing the vehicle. The consumer and her husband then decided to take a drive. When her husband put the truck in reverse, and like he always did, he slowly took his foot off the brake, and let the truck idle backwards. However, when he did, the brake pedal immediately adjusted up for a very short person and the accelerator pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle shot out of the garage very fast. The consumer was informed both pedals adjusted together, but that wasn't the way it seemed. He immediately tried to hit the brake, but it was adjusted up so high, he couldn't get his foot on it, until they were almost through the carport and the vehicle struck one of the steel posts of the carport, doing several thousands dollars of damage. The next morning, the vehicle was towed to the dealer, for an inspection. The next day, the dealer called, stating they were unable to find a problem. Also, the navigation system would not save an address. Updated 03/27/14

Fire and death hazard . Strong unbearable toxic smell entering up into cab.
Gas mileage complaint . Stated mileage (hwy ) is 22 mpg , the first six monthes of driving did achieve this stated mileage ,occasionallyas much as 23 mpg .after 2 recall service visits and an oil change , the mileage abruptly dropped to 18 mpg i complained to chev. Service in cottage grove ,or several times over the course of 4 monthes they advised me to change fuel (service stations ,) put a fuel booster additive in the tank ,check tire pressure .they also stated that the fuel mnfrs.changing the fuel blend for the winter season may be the cause. No service codes in the computer . None of the suggested "fixes"have changed the mileage ,still at around 18 mpg .something caused this sudden drop in mpg .i have a couple of ideas , 1. One recall was a computer software upgrade ,wrong shift parameters installed ?2. At prescribed oil changes ,06/03/14 &12/18/14 , ( truck requires dexos 0-20 oil ) maybe wrong oil wasinstalled ? one invoice shows 5w-30 was installed .however dealership denies installing wrong oil .how can i have the oil analyzed to determine which is in the truck ?
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. While driving at approximately 20 mph, the vehicle and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure recurred several times.

Shortly after starting truck and departing to local store i noticed a strong fuel odor. After driving approximately 3-4 miles my gas tank went from 3/4 full to nearly empty, around the same time passerby's started flagging me down stating that my truck was leaking fuel and smoking from underneath. I immediately pulled over to closest parking lot to realize the truck was massively leaking fuel from different areas and was indeed smoking as if it was about to catch fire. I turned the truck off and moved away. The fuel leak stopped and the smoke eventually dissipated. It was been towed back to dealer by chevrolet road side and is currently being checked for the problem.

The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated while entering their vehicle after a rainstorm, they noticed water leaking into the interior of the rear section of the vehicle.a puddle of water was on the floor.

The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
My silverado doesn't have child door locks, and even when the doors are locked, if you pull the handle twice it opens the door. My two year old opened the door on the highway and scared us so bad we nearly wrecked. Now his car seat is in the middle but this is a very unsafe design.
Truck was took to gm shop for vibration in power train replaced rear propeller shaft. I drove truck 60 miles home same vibration took back to shop. Took inst. Tec. And transmission tec. For ride both said yes you have a vibration and a hard up and down shift at 20 to 30 mph. Nothing done at this time called shop foreman and he said would get field engineer involved not heard from them since. Filed a complaint with gm case # 71-1359113487 have not herd from them. Vibration has got worse it will vibrate at any constant speed from 0 to 60 along with a rumbling sound plus the hard down and up shift. 7117 miles on truck now i feel it is getting unsafe to drive. For if it locks up going down the road at 60 mph in heavy traffic what is going to happen am i going to keep it under control.
I was merging onto the highway and just about got up to speed and felt a vibration that within a few seconds got really intense then heard a pop and then several bangs. I thought a tire blew, so as i looked up in my rear view mirror to see if i was clear to get over to the shoulder, i saw my driveshaft cartwheeling about 8 ft. In the air as people behind me were scrambling to avoid from hitting it. Luckily the driveshaft didn't lift the back of the truck into the air, and more importantly it didn't go through someones windshield behind me! it turns out that the knuckle on the rear of the shaft had snapped, violently vibrated and the shaft dropped, ripped apart about a foot behind the transmission and came out from under the truck. The u-joint was still in the differential and a foot of driveshaft was still in the transmission. I had brought my truck to 2 different dealerships for a vibration and clunking noise in the rear when it was new, (1900 miles) both dealers told me "they couldn't duplicate customers concern"...i'm a mechanic, i've worked at dealerships, this is what they tell people when they don't want the headache of dealing with an issue. After looking driveshaft vibrations up on these specific trucks, i came to realize that it is a common problem with 2014 and 2015 gm full size trucks. This incident could have turned out much worse than it did...if you own one of these trucks and notice a vibration at all, get it into the dealer and get it fixed immediately, don't take the chance of hurting your family or someone else!
Since i purchased this vehicle is has had a vibration from 5-20, 40-50, and 68-78. It has been in the service department 4 times for this problem alone with no resolution. General motors understands their is an issue with this model truck but does not have a solution. The vibration is felt in the seat, the gas pedal, the steering wheel and the rest of the truck. Tires were indexed, rotated, and balanced, along with the drive line specifications inspected and were found within normal limits even thought vibration persists. Other issues i have had were the exhaust squeaking noises when transferring from v8/v4 mode, in which the entire exhaust system was replaced, water leaking from the sunroof and windshield, frame coating peeling off causing the frame to rust, the seat frame shifting, moving and clicking when turning the vehicle, hd radio loses signal intermittently, radio and hvac knobs were not lit, headlights were misaligned from the factory, and 4 other recalls such as, overheated exhaust components, unwanted transfer case shift to neutral, peek in odometer display incorrect, and transmission oil cooler connections possibly being bad. This vehicle currently has 6500 miles and has been in the service department a total of 30 days so far.
Here's my story for those that will listen. I purchased the vehicle brand new and a few days later i mentioned to the salesman that it drove unusual and he replied that it could be from sitting on the lot...so i waited for the first scheduled maintenance and let them know that there was something not right with the shifting of the vehicle.i noted that it was loud clunking at downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear and also a clunk shift when the vehicle approaches a complete stop.the downshift is so hard that it is felt in the brake pedal.this is the part to me that raises the safety concern. The response was that they checked it and that everything was normal.i was informed that it should get smoother as it break in.they went on to say if i bring the vehicle in for the same issue and nothing is found that i would have to pay a diagnostic fee.so now at approx. 20,000 miles and i contacted general motors.they agreed for more diagnostic and now there is a technical service bulletin that states that it is a normal characteristic of the vehicle.now the vehicle has feels like it got worse and drives terrible and unsafe.meanwhile there are complaints about this same problem on the internet and nobody has done anything about it.it's funny that 2016 silverado is the same truck but without the problem.gm needs to make good on their productions mistake and support there product.silverado drivers experiencing the same condition should complain to make manufacturers responsible.please investigate!!!!!!!!!!!!

On friday may 23, 2014, i was backing an empty boat trailer down my private boat launch with my new 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500 pickup.when i put the transmission into reverse with my foot on the brake the engine suddenly revved up, started spinning wheels, and shot down the ramp hitting three bulkhead pilings eight feet apart, finally wedging the truck into the last piling and stopping before going into the water.the incident lasted less than five seconds and my foot never left the brake as witnessed by a third party verifying the brake lights never went off. I feel obligated to report this to both chevrolet and the national highway traffic safety administration. Had this occurred in a public parking area, serious injuries and damage to other vehicles could have resulted.an insurance claim has been made, and after repairs have been completed, the vehicle will be taken to my chevrolet dealer for analysis for possible defects.

I started hearing some ticking. And no big deal the next day the motor just vibrated and them stopped accelerating, started rattling. Freaked me out big time, i've only had the vehicle for about 2 months. I'm no mechanic, but this ain't normal. I fear the worst.
Backed my truck down a boat ramp. Put my truck in park while applying parking brake truck rolled back into water. When pulled out i noticed my truck was back in park. I believe truck jumped out of gear.
The above stated vehicle was sold to me in dec. 2014, and i was allowed to leave with the vehicle without knowing the vehicle was under recall. (sale and delivery on an unremedied recalled vehicle). The recall for this vehicle had been issued june 26, 2014. When i asked the salesman about this recall, he stated to me he had ckecked with his salesmanager and that there was no recall on this vehicle. After checking with the nthsa database and found the recall, i had it fixed on may 5, 2015. I asked the salesman why my vehicle had not been fixed during the 6 months prior to the sell to me, his reply was that the vehicle had been sold in july of 2014 and that the buyer had the vehicle for 7 days and returned it for lack of funds. That means they sold this vehicle twice while the recall was unremedied.
I began to notice severe vibration in the drive train at 55 mph, similar to a washboard effect.in addition, the vehicle down shifted very hard when stopping.i reported this problem to the dealer on this date and they said it was normal operation.in december, of 2014, i tried passing a vehicle and experienced a loud thump in the rear end of the vehicle, i thought the drive shaft was going to fall out.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they could not replicate the issue.i have taken the vehicle to two different dealerships a total of 3 times to address this issue.they both claim this is normal.now the vibration has gotten worse, it can occur at 40-45, 50-55, and 60 to 65. I have owned gm trucks before and the only time i had an issue like this was when the drive shaft on a 1994 safari van was out of balance had to be re balanced.i have noted several other complaints from other 2014 -15 vehicle owners.this type of operation has to be damaging the gears and transmission.i have called the gm area rep and got an attitude from him.however, i do have another appointment with the selling dealer, (3rd with him, 4th over all) this week.and was told to call the gm rep when i arrive.
I started having problems with the electrical in the truck starting with the windows. I informed dealership and that the stabilitrak was going off saying that the steering was failing. The problem has continued to present and now the truck is shutting itself off while going down the road losing all steering and turning itself back on. My family was in the truck and we almost rolled into a parking structure, i lost all power and steering to truck had no control at all. The truck continues to have issues and this after i took it in to have it fixed. Dealer made problem worse.
Vehicle vibrates at 72-80 mph. Have taken it to the dealer 4 times with no positive results. They rf balanced all tires twice, replaced one tire, and on the last visit drove it 95 miles and did nothing.currently dealing with gm customer care rep and dealership.if they cannot find a fix, i will request they buy the vehicle back.

I backed my truck out of the garage and parked in the driveway. I put in park and had my keys in my hand. I went to walk back inside the house when i turned around and saw my truck rolling down the driveway. I stopped it and pulled back up in the driveway and put in park again just for it roll back down the driveway. After i couple times of repeating this the transmission finally engaged into park.
Drive train shifts hard & @ times does not shift correctly( while driving city streets) & engine stalls when i excelerate from a stoping point & also ticking noise from exhaust system ( in motion & stationary city streets).
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact had not experienced a failure prior to having the vehicle repaired for a manufacturer recall concerning the 4 wheel drive function ability. Also, the engine control module was reprogrammed. Shortly after the repair by the dealer, the vehicle manually shifted into 4 wheel drive when in reverse or drive and would not disengage in inclement weather. In addition, the vehicle idled roughly, shuttered, and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for further inspection and the battery was replaced. The dealer stated that there was a faulty ground connection under the dash panel. The ground surface was cleaned and the wiring was re-grounded. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
I was driving down the road at about 45 mph when my vehicle suddenly jumped out of gear into neutral.after about 20 seconds it went back into gear.
Transmission clunks on downshift(seems like 3rd to 2nd shift) loud enough that people think i ran over or hit something. Dealer says its normal and they all do it!
While driving down the highway a stabilization control light came on briefly, then went away.approximately 5 miles later after exiting the highway, and going down a side street, the truck died and the steering wheel locked when i slowed and started to make a right hand turn into a parking lot. This has since occurred once more under similar conditions while slowing, braking and turning at low speeds and not under throttle.
The vehicle is shaking on the highway at normal highway speeds. It makes for poor control of the vehicle. It is a brand new chevrolet silverado high country. It has been serviced 3 times and the drivetrain has been balanced, the tires replaced, forced balanced the wheels, replaced the tires and still the problem persists. It causes lane wander and does not feel safe at normal speed.

The above stated vehicle was sold to me, and i was allowed to leave with this vehicle before a recall that had been issued june 26 2014 had been remedied. ( sale and delivery of an unremedied recalled vehicle).upon reporting to the salesman about the recall, he and his salesmanager stated to me that there was no recall on the vehicle. I checked with the nthsa found the recall and had it fixed may 5, 2015. After asking the salesman why my vehicle had not been fixed during the 6 months prior to the sale of the vehicle to me, his answer was that the vehicle had previously sold in july of 2014. The buyer had the truck for 7 days and could not aquire financing and the vehicle was returned. Hence this one vehicle has been sold and allowed to leave their lot twice without the recall being fixed. The dealer is norman frede chevrolet in houston tx.

I purchased the 2014 chevy silverado crew cab lt texas edition from reliable chevrolet in richardson,tx.immediately after purchasing without a test drive it noticed that there was a vibration, steering problem, and scratches on the bed.. Because it was a demo of was told by the new car salesman that they hadmade sure the vehicle was inspected and that the scratches were superficial and it's a demo so that's how it is. I spoke with the business manager and they put a spay in bed liner to fix the scratches and did a balance on the tire. I picked the truck up and the steering and vibration problems were still there. It went back into the shopagain and they couldn't duplicate any problems. The steering is almost impossible to keep in a straight line it swerves as if the truck had a few drinks. I told them it don't feel safe driving it and i'm afraid i'm going to hit someone. I will not drive in the middle lanes. I have to drive on either far left or right lanes to allow for swerving.i complained to gm.. Got excited because they sent me to another dealership and same thing happened.. Went for a test drive.. They felt something wrong but mechanics can't"duplicate" the problem. They said they test drove it again but in don't see how when the roads were iced over. I called gm again and i'm at a new dealership they test drove it with me and headed a new popping noise when the wheels is turned and felt steering and suspension issue. They kept the truck but once again not able to duplicate. I've had a few loaners and none of them drive like mine. The truck has also had problems with ac and whiny noise in engine.i'm was supposed to pick up the truck today but i complained and they were going to test drive it again. They don't factor in the time and inconvenience of having to take off work plus gas and miles in trying to get this fixed. Not happy with this truck.
Severe vibrations at speeds between 58-70 mph.vibrations pulsate.vibrations travel through floor boards steering wheel and gas pedal. Truck was taken to dealership.tires were rotated and balanced drive shaft was determined to be the problem. New drive shaft was ordered.drive shaft installed yesterday.the vibrations is worse.taken back to dealership today.trip number three truck has only 1400 miles on it. Informed gm. They sent me back to the dealership with no solution.

I'm really disappointed in how my truck is rusting.it has the amount of rust that i would expect to see on a truck after 7 - 10 years.the truck's underbody including the frame is rusting everywhere.for a truck that has only 6,000 miles on it this is ridiculous.whatever was sprayed on the frame is just peeling off in chunks.i had the dealership in anoka, main motors look at this when i got an oil change today and they agreed the rust is excessive but gm has told them to do nothing about it based on pi0281d.gm claims this is supposed to be the most rust resistant truck ever.
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado.

Was in a turn lane following a vehicle going slightly uphill rolling up to an intersection to make a left.the vehicle in front of me made their turn and while i was still rolling i checked oncoming traffic.there was a vehicle coming in the other direction, but i too had time to make the turn in front of the oncoming vehicle.i stepped on the accelerator and it did nothing for what seemed like a half of a second before finally accelerating.it was as if it was the old days when we had a badly tuned carburetor and the engine bogged before finally taking off.only, the truck doesn't bog, it just doesn't respond as quickly as it should all the time.i had the vehicle in "drive" so perhaps it was running in v4 and/or in the middle of a transmission shift or downshift.regardless, an accelerator that does not respond the same way every time but varies depending on driving conditions is in my opinion dangerous.

Found that the rear head restraints in the crew cab would not raise high enough to protect an adult size person's head from hitting the glass or getting a severe neck injury in a rear end collision. This is a design flaw for a vehicle marketed as a people mover. I have issued complaints to chevy via web and letter. Older truck (2005) didn't have this flaw in safety as the head restraints could be raised significantly higher. This vehicle should be recalled and a fix mandatory.
When turning the seat pops and moves in the direction you are turning. The dealer could not duplicate. I addressed it again 7-8 months later and the dealer stated there is no fix. They said it only happens when the seat is in the top adjustment position, this is incorrect, it happens at all adjustments as i have tried them all. Needless to say, this will get your attention enough to think something is happening and you just cannot get used to it almost a year later. It scared my wife and daughter enough to where they will not drive it any longer.
The vehicle has a shake and vibration in the seats, steering and suspension at interstate speeds of 65 mph and above on smooth roads it has had the shake and vibration since the day i bought it new.
Driver seat lower cushion rocks left and right as well as front to back.took vehicle in to dealer on 9/3/14 and was fixed on 9/5/14.the seat felt sturdy upon pick up from dealer.have driven approx 30 miles since picking up on 9/5/14.seat is now doing same movements as before.i have filed a claim with gm customer care and they state there is not a fix for the seats at this time.i feel this is a safety hazard and potential critical failure during a crash.
I purchased a 2014 silverado crew cab ltz z71 on august 16.

Front brakes wore out on both outboard pads. Inboard pads are almost new.truck has 32,000mi. I bought it new. Dealer said calipers were not sliding.i checked the brakes myself and found that not true. I replaced the pads and rotors myself and took pictures and saved all parts. There must bea reason, and i can't be the only one.
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the trailer's electric service brake warning light illuminated. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,900.
I was going north when a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of me. I braked as quickly as possible, the 2014 chevy silverado that i was driving only slowly came to a stop. Unfortunately, i rearended another vehicle. Thankfully i had not gotten up to the speed limit (30mph) and was only going 20mph.my truck would not brake quickly. No screeching tires, no black marks on the road. The stop was so slow that i had time to turn the steering wheel and only damage part of my front end. The grill, bumper, and hood were smashed in. No airbags came out of the truck, and my onstar service sensor did not go off.
While driving my 2014 chevy silverado, i have had 3 instances where the stability control light came on and i suddenly lost lost all steering and brakes.within a 2-3 seconds the cluster and radio went dead and then the engine stopped.i had no ability to control the vehicle.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated the logs showed 1 1/2 pages of vehicle communications errors including loss of communications to steering, loss of communications to brakes, etc. After 8 days of analysis, the dealer notified me that this was a known issue with gm and that there is an active pi number for the issue.however, there is no known resolution for the issue.because there is no known solution, they asked me to come pick up the vehicle and continue driving it and they will contact me when a solution is found.when i asked if they understood that i could lose control of the vehicle and potential kill myself, a family member of another driver they only told me that they had no other suggestions.i escalated to gm customer care and they assured me that because there are no open recalls on my vehicle for this issue, it was completely safe to drive and that i shouldn't worry.a search of the internet revealed many people who have had the exact same experience and who were told to continue driving the vehicle.one even stated that they hit a pedestrian after losing control of the truck.this issue is obviously a huge safety risk as the driver can lose complete control of the vehicle at any speed.

On approximately july 19, 2014, the hill descent mode failed on my 2014 silverado 1500 as i was driving down a mountain in the state of washington. The truck took off when this failed and i had to manually use my brakes in order to avoid crashing into any vehicles ahead. I took the vehicle in to the dealer who, and i quote 'they couldn't duplicate the concern and there were no codes stored in the system'. Only four miles were put on the truck while it was in their shop. How can you possibly test this failure if you didn't drive it in the mountains? next major issue was the onstar antenna began to leak into the cab, soaking the headliner, the floor and leaking into the dash where all the electrical components are. Dealer 'didn't have the part to fix this' and it continues to leak to this day. And finally, having noticed all the posts about rust underneath this truck, i too, discovered that the 'wax' coating had deteriorated and major rust issues had developed. I have owned chevrolet trucks for nearly 20 years and i have never, ever found them to be the piece of junk this vehicle is. The hill descent mode is a serious and potentially deadly problem. These issues have been reported to the ceo of gm in a detailed letter with pictures to prove everything that is wrong with this truck. Caution*****before you shell out fifty grand for this truck, read each and every post on this website in order to make an informed decision.
2014 chevrolet silverado.consumer writes in regards to malfunction of pedal adjustment.the consumer stated the cargo light button and pedal adjustment button did not work, only a day after purchasing the vehicle. The consumer and her husband then decided to take a drive. When her husband put the truck in reverse, and like he always did, he slowly took his foot off the brake, and let the truck idle backwards. However, when he did, the brake pedal immediately adjusted up for a very short person and the accelerator pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle shot out of the garage very fast. The consumer was informed both pedals adjusted together, but that wasn't the way it seemed. He immediately tried to hit the brake, but it was adjusted up so high, he couldn't get his foot on it, until they were almost through the carport and the vehicle struck one of the steel posts of the carport, doing several thousands dollars of damage. The next morning, the vehicle was towed to the dealer, for an inspection. The next day, the dealer called, stating they were unable to find a problem. Also, the navigation system would not save an address. Updated 03/27/14
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the steering wheel seized. In addition, the vehicle stalled. After several attempts, the vehicle was able to restart and the steering warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the anti- theft module and the steer-assist needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000. Updated 04/08/16*lj
At highway speeds (above 50 mph)after driving for 20 minutes to 1/2 hr,a slight turn to the left (at speed) causes the steering to stick/bind. It may be a loss of power steering assist.this happens intermittently.this prevents the wheel from returning to center from the left turn.the resistance can be overcome by increasing to force applied to either return the wheel to center or to increase the left turn.update 9/15/15*cw
I purchased my 2014 chevrolet silverado on 7/11/14. On the way home i called the dealer to tell them that it had a bad vibration when driving at highway speeds. The first repairwas attempted on 7/25/14 with 1207 miles. I have had the truck back at least 8 times for a repair. The dealer has replace tires. They have balanced the tires at least 6 times that i know about. They have replaced the drive shaft. The have replace the ring gear and pinion. Replaced the entire differential ( they swapped it from another new truck) they have repositioned the motor mounts. Now they are wantingto replace the rear differential again. I have been patient with them trying to let them fix the concern. They have a general motors service engineer involved and he has several parts ordered for it. The dealership had talked to their factory rep and at one time they talked about gm buying the truck back and getting me another truck. I don't feel the truck i have is safe. It has had the wheels off more times than i would have rotated my tires in 150000 miles.
Have new 2014 chevy silverado 1500 4x4 5.3 engine. In january i went to get in my truck to go to work and there was a service power steering warning. I then noticed i had no power steering.(4000 mile) they towed my truck to dealership and they said they rebooted the computer and it was ok now. This past weekend march 28th 2015, it did the same thing at the boat ramp in a high school fishing tournament. Went to get truck to load boat and could not move it.(6500 mile) after about an hr. It was ok. I am concerned of this truck loosing power steering while driving it the mountains. I have googled this issue and some people have reported that they have lost power steering while driving. Having 2 high school students in my truck is a great concern.
I brought my truck in for a vibration problem to the dealership that i purchased it from. The truck was muddy and the dealership told me that it was from all the mud on the truck. But they did not even wash the truck and test drive it. Then i brought it into a different dealership to have it check for the same thing. They forced balance my truck and they found something so they rotated my drive shaft 180 degrees and said it was fixed. About 30 days later it started again and brought it back to be checked. They forced balance it again and found a bad tire so they replaced the one tire while the other three tire had about 12,000 miles on them. So it happened again so brought it again for the 4th time for the same problem. They again forced balanced the truck and could not pin point the problem so the service manger took a 2015 silverado 1500 and took off the tires and rims and put it on my truck. Not didn't fix it so they put all new shocks and strouts on it and told me it was fixed and they wanted to bring the truck to my home and i declined and i wanted to test drive the truck. I drove the truck with the service manager and found that it didn't change anything.so i asked him that i wanted an appointment with the district manager of gm. So when i meet with him in the service managers office with the service manager. The first thing out of the district managers was i am here to help you and the showed his true self. Within the first 9 minutes he asked me how i would fix the problem and then he told me to hire an attorney. Because that was the only way you are going to get the truck bought make from gm. After i left the office after 9 minutes i tried to make an appointment at the dealership i bought the truck and i had an appointment the following day. The same day the dealership informed that night that they couldn't see or work on my truck i called gm customer service.
While driving down the highway a stabilization control light came on briefly, then went away.approximately 5 miles later after exiting the highway, and going down a side street, the truck died and the steering wheel locked when i slowed and started to make a right hand turn into a parking lot. This has since occurred once more under similar conditions while slowing, braking and turning at low speeds and not under throttle.
The vehicle has a shake and vibration in the seats, steering and suspension at interstate speeds of 65 mph and above on smooth roads it has had the shake and vibration since the day i bought it new.
Loud clunking noise when turning the steering wheel all the way to the left.
Between the road speeds of 45-65 mph the vehicle vibrates the front end shakes the vehicle does it in any road condition and weather the vehicle has been to the dealer twice and tires balanced and rotated 3 time to no avail
I started having problems with the electrical in the truck starting with the windows. I informed dealership and that the stabilitrak was going off saying that the steering was failing. The problem has continued to present and now the truck is shutting itself off while going down the road losing all steering and turning itself back on. My family was in the truck and we almost rolled into a parking structure, i lost all power and steering to truck had no control at all. The truck continues to have issues and this after i took it in to have it fixed. Dealer made problem worse.
Bad shake at highway speeds, balancing tires didn't help, faulty steering components could be a safety issue.
Electric power steering failed while driving. Truck towed to a dealer. After replacing the electric power steering motor, electrical loom and the battery, was informed that the steering rack failed - possibly due to water penetration into the rack and pinion drive. Suspect a faulty or badly designed seal which may be the cause for thie failures on the 2014 silverado trucks
While driving my 2014 chevy silverado, i have had 3 instances where the stability control light came on and i suddenly lost lost all steering and brakes.within a 2-3 seconds the cluster and radio went dead and then the engine stopped.i had no ability to control the vehicle.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated the logs showed 1 1/2 pages of vehicle communications errors including loss of communications to steering, loss of communications to brakes, etc. After 8 days of analysis, the dealer notified me that this was a known issue with gm and that there is an active pi number for the issue.however, there is no known resolution for the issue.because there is no known solution, they asked me to come pick up the vehicle and continue driving it and they will contact me when a solution is found.when i asked if they understood that i could lose control of the vehicle and potential kill myself, a family member of another driver they only told me that they had no other suggestions.i escalated to gm customer care and they assured me that because there are no open recalls on my vehicle for this issue, it was completely safe to drive and that i shouldn't worry.a search of the internet revealed many people who have had the exact same experience and who were told to continue driving the vehicle.one even stated that they hit a pedestrian after losing control of the truck.this issue is obviously a huge safety risk as the driver can lose complete control of the vehicle at any speed.
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the steering wheel was tight and extremely difficult to turn left and right. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the power assist motor. The second repair was the electronic torque control sensor; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was not included in manufacturer recall number: 14515 for the chassis control module. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.
I purchased the 2014 chevy silverado crew cab lt texas edition from reliable chevrolet in richardson,tx.immediately after purchasing without a test drive it noticed that there was a vibration, steering problem, and scratches on the bed.. Because it was a demo of was told by the new car salesman that they hadmade sure the vehicle was inspected and that the scratches were superficial and it's a demo so that's how it is. I spoke with the business manager and they put a spay in bed liner to fix the scratches and did a balance on the tire. I picked the truck up and the steering and vibration problems were still there. It went back into the shopagain and they couldn't duplicate any problems. The steering is almost impossible to keep in a straight line it swerves as if the truck had a few drinks. I told them it don't feel safe driving it and i'm afraid i'm going to hit someone. I will not drive in the middle lanes. I have to drive on either far left or right lanes to allow for swerving.i complained to gm.. Got excited because they sent me to another dealership and same thing happened.. Went for a test drive.. They felt something wrong but mechanics can't"duplicate" the problem. They said they test drove it again but in don't see how when the roads were iced over. I called gm again and i'm at a new dealership they test drove it with me and headed a new popping noise when the wheels is turned and felt steering and suspension issue. They kept the truck but once again not able to duplicate. I've had a few loaners and none of them drive like mine. The truck has also had problems with ac and whiny noise in engine.i'm was supposed to pick up the truck today but i complained and they were going to test drive it again. They don't factor in the time and inconvenience of having to take off work plus gas and miles in trying to get this fixed. Not happy with this truck.
The vehicle has an established, measureable and documented vibration problem that randomly increases & decreases in applitude & frequency at all speeds.gm is unable to resolve after 12 dealer attempts to address, including multiple sets of tires, rear differential, drive shafts and shock absorbers all failing to resolve the issue.gm stated vibration is inherent to the design and no further action needed or will be taken ever for vibration, regardless of circumstance.such a vibration is a significant safety defect because it is essentially like cutting wires to warning tell-tales by removing a driver's ability to discern tire/suspension/powertrain/steering problems that can only be identified by feeling a vibration (such as a loose wheel or damaged suspsension components) prior to a catastrophic event, especially at high speeds. Not only for the vehicle occupants, but also for any road user when it results in the driver loosing control of the vehicle.gm's own attempts to fix the vehicle with the list of parts above irrefutably supports the inability for a driver to identify the source of a vibration. If experienced technicians and subsequent corporate engineers cannot recognize the vibration as being different from wheels, suspension, powertrain; then a normal driver will have no such warnings available should a potentially catastrophic safety issue be present.further, since gm refuses to address any further vibration issues with this vehcile, it is like have a airbag warning tell-tale continuously illuminated whether or not a problem exists & gm stating to just live with it. In other words, if i get a loose wheel, i guess gm figures i will know it when it falls off.in addition, to safety defect described above, the vibration is an extreme source of driver distraction & driver rage as attempts are made to produce and/or reduce the vibration while driving.
Since i purchased this vehicle is has had a vibration from 5-20, 40-50, and 68-78. It has been in the service department 4 times for this problem alone with no resolution. General motors understands their is an issue with this model truck but does not have a solution. The vibration is felt in the seat, the gas pedal, the steering wheel and the rest of the truck. Tires were indexed, rotated, and balanced, along with the drive line specifications inspected and were found within normal limits even thought vibration persists. Other issues i have had were the exhaust squeaking noises when transferring from v8/v4 mode, in which the entire exhaust system was replaced, water leaking from the sunroof and windshield, frame coating peeling off causing the frame to rust, the seat frame shifting, moving and clicking when turning the vehicle, hd radio loses signal intermittently, radio and hvac knobs were not lit, headlights were misaligned from the factory, and 4 other recalls such as, overheated exhaust components, unwanted transfer case shift to neutral, peek in odometer display incorrect, and transmission oil cooler connections possibly being bad. This vehicle currently has 6500 miles and has been in the service department a total of 30 days so far.
Driving home on the highway going 65 mph i tried to turn following the road and the steering would not move, i forced it to turn while slowing down and almost ran into a ditch.
Just bought the truck, first day or two drove slow no issues. Once i got comfortable driving around 65-70 mpg i start to get a vibration and shaking to the point it feelsnot safe at all. I looked up on the internet and tons of people are having this problem. Truck is brand new truck.

Vehicle has bad vibration ,i took it to dealer and they told me that it was normal but its not .i have call gm 3 times and email but they do nothing.
2014 chevrolet silverado.consumer writes in regards to serious issue with lights on the climate control knobs.the consumer stated at night, the lights on the climate control knobs would reflect in the rear window and bounce back into the inside mirror making it impossible to see anything in the inside rear view mirror.
My silverado doesn't have child door locks, and even when the doors are locked, if you pull the handle twice it opens the door. My two year old opened the door on the highway and scared us so bad we nearly wrecked. Now his car seat is in the middle but this is a very unsafe design.
On friday may 23, 2014, i was backing an empty boat trailer down my private boat launch with my new 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500 pickup.when i put the transmission into reverse with my foot on the brake the engine suddenly revved up, started spinning wheels, and shot down the ramp hitting three bulkhead pilings eight feet apart, finally wedging the truck into the last piling and stopping before going into the water.the incident lasted less than five seconds and my foot never left the brake as witnessed by a third party verifying the brake lights never went off. I feel obligated to report this to both chevrolet and the national highway traffic safety administration. Had this occurred in a public parking area, serious injuries and damage to other vehicles could have resulted.an insurance claim has been made, and after repairs have been completed, the vehicle will be taken to my chevrolet dealer for analysis for possible defects.
I was stopped at a red light when my vehicle was rear endedlocal police estimated other vehicle's speed to be 45-50mph upon impact.
On approximately july 19, 2014, the hill descent mode failed on my 2014 silverado 1500 as i was driving down a mountain in the state of washington. The truck took off when this failed and i had to manually use my brakes in order to avoid crashing into any vehicles ahead. I took the vehicle in to the dealer who, and i quote 'they couldn't duplicate the concern and there were no codes stored in the system'. Only four miles were put on the truck while it was in their shop. How can you possibly test this failure if you didn't drive it in the mountains? next major issue was the onstar antenna began to leak into the cab, soaking the headliner, the floor and leaking into the dash where all the electrical components are. Dealer 'didn't have the part to fix this' and it continues to leak to this day. And finally, having noticed all the posts about rust underneath this truck, i too, discovered that the 'wax' coating had deteriorated and major rust issues had developed. I have owned chevrolet trucks for nearly 20 years and i have never, ever found them to be the piece of junk this vehicle is. The hill descent mode is a serious and potentially deadly problem.

I'm really disappointed in how my truck is rusting.it has the amount of rust that i would expect to see on a truck after 7 - 10 years.the truck's underbody including the frame is rusting everywhere.for a truck that has only 6,000 miles on it this is ridiculous.whatever was sprayed on the frame is just peeling off in chunks.i had the dealership in anoka, main motors look at this when i got an oil change today and they agreed the rust is excessive but gm has told them to do nothing about it based on pi0281d.gm claims this is supposed to be the most rust resistant truck ever.
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the rear frame was corroded. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,400.
Large amount of rust and corrosion on frame. Only 9000 miles.

While moving from a stop the truck sometimes lags in acceleration which may cause the operator to depress the accelerator further than required to enter traffic. This condition also may cause a short acceleration delay when pulling into traffic that can be unexpected by the operator.i have been surprised many times by this operator disconnect accelerating from a stationary position. After driving my new truck 900 miles i investigated the accelerator pedal assembly bracket to find that the entire bracket is not properly fastened structurally to the fire wall by design.i inspected my truck on 12/23/14 and found this problem, the accelerator pedal bracket flex on my truck looks to be ~3/4" to 1" before the electronic linkage engages. The pedal tip-in engagement has to flex the mounting bracket before the electronic acceleration switch engages.i can't believe the gm engineering and design team's would approve of such a flimsy mounting bracket for this important part of basic motor vehicle operation. I feel over time and usage that this bracket may completely fail as currently designed.i could shim and install additional hardware to correct this safety issue, but i feel this design issue should be addressed with gm before someone has a crash or worst.

The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Frame on my brand new 2014 silverado has major rust issues,chevy dealers say oh it's normal. It's not normal for a very expensive truck to rust while sitting on a lot. I'm not sure it will be safe in a few years at the rate it's rusting.this is a big issue on several places on the net.

Purchased silverado new oct 2014. Driving dry clean highway, approx. 35 mph, rear right tire completely exploded.did not hit anything or anyone, just blew.tire was a bridgestone h/l 684 ii that came on truck at time of purchase from chevrolet dealership.of course tires are not covered under warranty.
Fire and death hazard . Strong unbearable toxic smell entering up into cab.
Driving on the freeway at 70 mph and the kid in the back of the crewcab pickup opened the rear door. The truck locks the doors when it is put into drive. But when he pulled on the door latch it opened up. I thought the doors are not supposed to open while the vehicle is moving.when i tested this at home, with the truck running and in drive, any of the doors will open up on the 2nd pull on the latch. The 1st pull unlocks the door and on the 2nd pull it opens the door.i have had many other trucks and they never did this. Seems like a safety issue to me. Can youtell me if the nhtsa has any safety rules on this?i called the dealer and talked with the service advisor and he confirmed that other 2014 silverados do this to, so he had no fix for it. There is a child lock out switch for the read doors, but that would have to be manually set every time you put it in drive and would not lock either of the front two doors.please let me know if there is a safety rule for this.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Paint / wax by factory has totally pealed off frame of the truck. Rust everywhere 38000 miles.
Was driving to physical therapy. Pulled up to a stop light and "stabilitrack failure" poped up. Was pulling into the doctors office not 8 min l8r came up again but this time steering wheel locked up then un locked then locked up multiple times while i was trying to pull into a parking space. Thankfully i was going at an extremely low speed and i could control the vehicle between it locking and unlocking. When i left the doctors office i noticed my settings reset. Ex dashboard display showed the radio station instead of the fuel economy. I simply changed it and noticed the computer erased my previous fuel economy. I'm assuming theirs some malfunction between the computer and these systems. And from the looks of it my vehicle isn't the only vehicle with this issue. Now my check engine light is on and i'll be taking this back to the dealer and it will be fixed and never happen again or i won't purchase another gm vehicle.
I still get recall letters but the dealer (autonation west hwy 50 orlando tells me it is completebut the cards says incomplete that i get from gm.my onstar also tells me to get it fixed..what must i do to feel safe ?this is my 3rd silverado but what a problem !!!!!
Vehicle hvac pressurizes cab causing headaches and ear pain.
Undercoating on truck frame is peeling off and rust is prevalent.
I started hearing some ticking. And no big deal the next day the motor just vibrated and them stopped accelerating, started rattling. Freaked me out big time, i've only had the vehicle for about 2 months. I'm no mechanic, but this ain't normal. I fear the worst.
I pulled out of a parking lot on to a city street and pressed the gas pedal a little, planning to get up to about 25 mph because there was a red light a block away.the truck responded as if i had floored the pedal.i took my foot off of the pedal and the truck kept accelerating at full throttle.i hit the brakes thinking the cruise control had gone nuts, but hitting the brakes would not turn it off.it kept accelerating with the tach over 5000.i shifted to neutral and the engine speed dropped down to idle. The light turned green and i shifted back to drive and the engine immediately started accelerating again at full throttle.i put it back in neutral, moved over to the shoulder and turned the key off.then i started the engine again and the problem disappeared.i'm 72; if my wife had been driving by herself, she probably would have had a serious wreck.the truck is a 2014 silverado, bought 4 weeks ago, 6 cylinder work truck.
I was going north when a vehicle suddenly stopped in front of me. I braked as quickly as possible, the 2014 chevy silverado that i was driving only slowly came to a stop. Unfortunately, i rearended another vehicle. Thankfully i had not gotten up to the speed limit (30mph) and was only going 20mph.my truck would not brake quickly. No screeching tires, no black marks on the road. The stop was so slow that i had time to turn the steering wheel and only damage part of my front end. The grill, bumper, and hood were smashed in. No airbags came out of the truck, and my onstar service sensor did not go off. After colliding with the vehicle my 2014 chevy shut off by itself. I had the brake still depressed & put the truck into park.

While moving from a stop the truck sometimes lags in acceleration which may cause the operator to depress the accelerator further than required to enter traffic. This condition also may cause a short acceleration delay when pulling into traffic that can be unexpected by the operator.i have been surprised many times by this operator disconnect accelerating from a stationary position. After driving my new truck 900 miles i investigated the accelerator pedal assembly bracket to find that the entire bracket is not properly fastened structurally to the fire wall by design.i inspected my truck on 12/23/14 and found this problem, the accelerator pedal bracket flex on my truck looks to be ~3/4" to 1" before the electronic linkage engages. The pedal tip-in engagement has to flex the mounting bracket before the electronic acceleration switch engages.i can't believe the gm engineering and design team's would approve of such a flimsy mounting bracket for this important part of basic motor vehicle operation. I feel over time and usage that this bracket may completely fail as currently designed.i could shim and install additional hardware to correct this safety issue, but i feel this design issue should be addressed with gm before someone has a crash or worst.
2014 chevrolet silverado.consumer writes in regards to malfunction of pedal adjustment.the consumer stated the cargo light button and pedal adjustment button did not work, only a day after purchasing the vehicle. The consumer and her husband then decided to take a drive. When her husband put the truck in reverse, and like he always did, he slowly took his foot off the brake, and let the truck idle backwards. However, when he did, the brake pedal immediately adjusted up for a very short person and the accelerator pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle shot out of the garage very fast. The consumer was informed both pedals adjusted together, but that wasn't the way it seemed. He immediately tried to hit the brake, but it was adjusted up so high, he couldn't get his foot on it, until they were almost through the carport and the vehicle struck one of the steel posts of the carport, doing several thousands dollars of damage. The next morning, the vehicle was towed to the dealer, for an inspection. The next day, the dealer called, stating they were unable to find a problem. Also, the navigation system would not save an address. Updated 03/27/14
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact shifted the vehicle into park and the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 700.
The forward collision alert system is not safe. I have had this go off on me over 100 times in 25,000 miles and almost causing an accident a few times. The led on the dash will flash and the seat will vibrate causing you to react thinking you are getting ready to hit something. This occurs in 3 situations:1)approaching an underpass while the sun is shining into the windshield, which is daily for me during my commute. 2) in a lane on the highway closest to the barrier wall, it thinks you are going to hit it head on i guess. 3) on a 2 lane side road with approaching cars are the are passing by on your drivers side. I have not been able to detect if this is due to the sunshine or head lights. So this causes a major alert reaction to you each time, this is a big safety issue as a reaction to nothing but alerts can cause an accident in itself.
Drove home from dealer on highway, very noticeable pulsing vibration felt in gas pedal once i hit 65mph.vehicle also "shakes" at a constant rate at 50mph, and more violently at 82-85mph.drove up to 500 miles per dealers direction, problem still exists and has not gone away at all.
2014 chevrolet silverado.consumer writes in regards to serious issue with lights on the climate control knobs.the consumer stated at night, the lights on the climate control knobs would reflect in the rear window and bounce back into the inside mirror making it impossible to see anything in the inside rear view mirror.
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the windshield suddenly became foggy. The contact activated the defroster but it only cleared the driver's side of the windshield. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection however, they were unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,600.
I noticed that the heater doesn't work in the truck when it is cold outside.today it is 23 degrees and it didn't work. Seems the lower the speed of the fan the warmer the air is. It actually warmed up in the truck while driving when the fan speed was off.
Vehicle has vibration, more noticeable at higher speeds. The vibration comes up through the steering wheel and also can be felt through the gas pedal. The wheels/tires are suspect, and i am concerned about a slipped belt and subsequent tire failure. This has been reported to the dealer who states "vibration is normal".
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. While driving at approximately 35 mph, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the front wheels. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that it could be the tires. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6.
The contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. While driving at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle shook violently without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the driveshaft failed and the tires needed to be replaced. In addition, the drive line needed to be aligned. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 600.
I purchased my 2014 chevrolet silverado on 7/11/14. On the way home i called the dealer to tell them that it had a bad vibration when driving at highway speeds. The first repairwas attempted on 7/25/14 with 1207 miles. I have had the truck back at least 8 times for a repair. The dealer has replace tires. They have balanced the tires at least 6 times that i know about. They have replaced the drive shaft. The have replace the ring gear and pinion. Replaced the entire differential ( they swapped it from another new truck) they have repositioned the motor mounts. Now they are wantingto replace the rear differential again. I have been patient with them trying to let them fix the concern. They have a general motors service engineer involved and he has several parts ordered for it. The dealership had talked to their factory rep and at one time they talked about gm buying the truck back and getting me another truck. I don't feel the truck i have is safe. It has had the wheels off more times than i would have rotated my tires in 150000 miles.

Vibration at hwy speeds, tires rebalanced rotated and balanced at three different places including dealer twice. All places say tires r bad but will not help in replacing them unless i buy other tires. They only have 15,000 miles on them. I feel goodyear should replace these tires.
The vehicle has an established, measureable and documented vibration problem that randomly increases & decreases in applitude & frequency at all speeds.gm is unable to resolve after 12 dealer attempts to address, including multiple sets of tires, rear differential, drive shafts and shock absorbers all failing to resolve the issue.gm stated vibration is inherent to the design and no further action needed or will be taken ever for vibration, regardless of circumstance.such a vibration is a significant safety defect because it is essentially like cutting wires to warning tell-tales by removing a driver's ability to discern tire/suspension/powertrain/steering problems that can only be identified by feeling a vibration (such as a loose wheel or damaged suspsension components) prior to a catastrophic event, especially at high speeds. Not only for the vehicle occupants, but also for any road user when it results in the driver loosing control of the vehicle.gm's own attempts to fix the vehicle with the list of parts above irrefutably supports the inability for a driver to identify the source of a vibration. If experienced technicians and subsequent corporate engineers cannot recognize the vibration as being different from wheels, suspension, powertrain; then a normal driver will have no such warnings available should a potentially catastrophic safety issue be present.further, since gm refuses to address any further vibration issues with this vehcile, it is like have a airbag warning tell-tale continuously illuminated whether or not a problem exists & gm stating to just live with it. In other words, if i get a loose wheel, i guess gm figures i will know it when it falls off.in addition, to safety defect described above, the vibration is an extreme source of driver distraction & driver rage as attempts are made to produce and/or reduce the vibration while driving.
Between the road speeds of 45-65 mph the vehicle vibrates the front end shakes the vehicle does it in any road condition and weather the vehicle has been to the dealer twice and tires balanced and rotated 3 time to no avail
