Problems with 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The vehicle ignition turned off while driving (vehicle in motion) causing the power steering to fail. this has happened three times in the past 3 weeks. gm does not list this model as part of its recall and when i contacted gm they recommended taking it to a dealer and having it repaired at my expense. *tr

The drivers side front tire alerted it was low on air. stopped and checked air pressure but it was ok. i returned home and the next morning the drivers side rear tire was flat. swapped the tire with the spare and took it to the dealer. the air pressure display on the truck is reversed. the indicator for the front tire is showing the rear tire. the rear tire is showing the pressure for the front tire. they are fixing it now, not sure of the trouble yet. *tr

I own a 2014 chevy z71 that had a sherrod lift package installed at there factory and i have brought it into the dealer for excessive tire wear and the second time it was in the dealer discovered that all 4 brake lines were about to burst due to excessive wear and incorrect installation of the lift. my concern is there are alot of these trucks on the market and had i drove it another week it would have been fatal for me or someone i hit due to brake failure. i feel this issue needs to addressed due to the severity of the issue. the dealer deadlined my vehicle due to a major safety factor and contacted sherrod. as of yet i have not heard from sherrod about the repair. its the thousands of other drivers of these vehicles i am concerned about. if the one i owned was done incorrectly but to specs according to sherrod than in 7000 miles if mine were within days of bursting than so are theres. i have pictures of the lines if someone needs them. something has to be done or lives will and are at steak. *tr

Was towing a trailer, stopped and filled up with gas. as leaving the gas station, dash lights dimmed and brightened on their own, then washer pump started squirting fluid without wiper blades moving. washer pump continued squirting till the reservoir was empty and burned the pump. afterwards, all interior lights stopped working, except for the dash lights. also, lost all parking, head lamps, turn signal and brake lights on the 2014 silverado 1500, except for high mount stop lamp, which was stuck on bright, as if brake pedal was depressed. upon reading owners manual, there is a reference to loosing lights under "electrical overload". all electronics being used was factory installed, other than the trailer that was being pulled. upon taking it to the dealership for repair, they could not determine what caused the issue. they replaced a body control module. one week after getting the truck back from the dealership, the dash lights have dimmed and brightened on their own again, therefore, i am afraid to hook my trailer back up in fear of loosing all my lights again, or worse, driving and all of the sudden, washer pump starts squirting fluid and getting into an accident. after talking to gm directly, they cannot provide an answer to what happened or why they would reference the "loosing lights under electrical overload" in the owners manual, because of a known defect or issue that would hinder their profits. *js

I purchased this 2014 silverado pick up new. at about 20000 miles it began not starting, stopping while driving. when this happens the steering wheel is jerked out of my hands/ most of the recorded information is erased, the intrusion alarm icon is lit and must be cancelled. this has not happened at highway speed yet. i have been to several gm dealers. complained to gm directly several times. i have many emails from me to gm and from gm to me. my local dealer has now refused to work on my vehicle. they put a computer on it and if there is no fault code they say "iif there isn't a code we wouldn't know where to start" (a direct quote) the vehicle now has 80000 miles and i have had to deal with this problem for some 60000 miles my wife and i both have cancer and must travel 233 miles one way for chemo and treatment every 28 days and i need a reliable vehicle. this truck was purchased to meet that need but has failed to live up to the hype from gm and the customer support is not satisfactory i need some help now.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while the contact's son was driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle lost power and vibrated. in addition, the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to jim browne chevrolet (located 11300 n florida ave, tampa, fl 33612) where the transfer case shift control module and the instrument panel cluster were reprogrammed; however, the failure recurred. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that a remedy part was not available for the repair. the approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

Vehicle vibrates at highway speed. gm acknowledges that this/there is an engineering issue with this vehicle and that there is no recommended fix. having said that, they advise the vehicle is performing "as designed." because the vehicle is poorly designed and poorly engineered, then poor performance is expected. the dealership will not attempt repairs, so i'm stuck with the vehicle s is. the problem is, and you know this, there are many, many complaints of this issue, and neither you nor the manufacturer will do anything about it. worse, they (chevrolet) continues to sell these trucks knowing there are problems. worse yet, this information is not being disclose to new buyers under the veil of "performing as designed." lastly, note that since there are no attempts to repair there may not be a trigger for the lemon law filing ("... at least three attempts..). remember, the ignition switch was a non- issue to you and gm until somebody died. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving approximately 30 mph, the stability trac, steering assist was reduced, service power steering, service four wheel drive, and service brake assist warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. in addition, the air conditioning stopped working and the engine revved. the contact also stated that the power steering seized. the dealer reset the computer, but the failures persisted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 2,969.

my 2014 chevy silverado 1500, ltz, z71 started to have numerous issues since this past april. the truck has been in the unethical landers mcclarty chevrolet in huntsville, alabama seven times with only the smallest of the issues being fixed. 1st issue was the driver side seat moved when turning left or right. the dealer's service department informed me there was no fix and that the seat was within manufactures specs. the seat moved to the point that the ventilated seat cooler plug disconnected. the service dept eventually "fixed" the seat and reconnected the plug. lastly the issue i cannot get resolved through gm corporate, dealer service department or the regional gm manager. my truck "shakes" from speeds of 65 mph and greater. the service dept first told me i needed an alignment and have the tire rotated and balanced. the shake still continued, so i complained again to the service dept. this time i was told that two tires where "bad" do to road force and replaced them. the truck still shakes like a stripper so i emailed the ceo of gm on 11 july and assigned an executive liaison to work the issue. since then my truck has been in the service department twice. each time i was called a liar indirectly by the service department manager "[xxx]" and the district manager "[xxx]" after they test drove the truck and couldn't replicate the complaint. i had the service dept foreman "[xxx]" ride along with me as i drove the truck and pointed out the "very" noticeable shake at high way speeds. after numerous phone calls to the service dept, gm corporate, i found out that the service dept can utilize a vibration analyzer on the truck. this has not taken place or even considered. i continue to drive the truck with the shaking becoming worse with each mile. just like the ignition switch problem, gm down plays the issue and lets the problem compound. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

While driving in 4wd 'auto', off pavement in waterfront area, i did not think 4wd was engaging. when i shifted to 4h, the seat immediately clam shelled in and down on me. i reset seat, and noticed mirrors also had moved. a few minutes latter i tried the same maneuver while moving <5 mph, with the same results. i drove the 20+ miles back home in 4auto, but ready for a surprise shift into 4wd, with the accompanying, dangerous seat position change. it occurred 1 more time, while driving slowly approaching my driveway. i tried to duplicated it a few more times during a 2 week period; no occurrences. the sales people told me to use 4auto as my regualr mode. i decided to try 2h. now when i go from 2h to 4auto, the seat moves backward in short jolts. going to 4h or 4l, as directed in the manual, a clam shell effect occurs. i have done it with others in my truck, so they can witness the seat try to devour me. the last time it happened, i left it in the driveway with the seat & mirrors in their final position, so others could get in and see if they thought they could drive in that position. i have not set the set memory, and was very careful to not touch anything but the 4wd control while changing drive modes. as an aside, i noticed others owners had complaints about the seats. my 'safety alert' seat, 'heated and cooled (perforated)', 'front full feature', 'leather appointed buckets' developed a small tear in the lower, middle portion of the seat. i wanted it replaced, and of course, the friendly dealership staff tried to say this was 'normal wear and tear'. this was at less than 500 miles, 350 of which the dealership put on while driving it from another dealer. this truck is used for pleasure only, not work, no tool pouches or in pockets... if it wasn't such a bad example of how customers are treated by some dealerships, it would be laughable. current millage: 1,711 mi. *tr

1.average gas mileage between 10 to 12mpg on freeway which is nowhere near what was shown on the sticker. 2.radio not working/locks up, constant system errors, and display screen going black or green at random. 3.mylink system not working correctly, won't take voice commands & shows error messages on screen. the computer will completely lock up & become unresponsive until restart. 4.navigation system screen turns solid grey & locks up at random. 5.backup camera is coming on & the screen then turns black while at freeway speeds in drive, shows error messages. 6.lane departure system not working/detecting drivers side lines on road when crossed. 7.driver and passenger's front seats feel loose at mounting brackets while driving (rocks back and forth). 8.heated/cooled seats not cooling. 9.transmission not shifting correctly, misses gears on acceleration; constant slips & clunks' from powertrain while at road speed. 10.transmission/torque converter won't disengage from engine properly when braking & pushes the truck under engine power, to a stop at random times. the ecm/tcm is having communication errors or problems causing hazardous conditions to present themselves at random unpredictable intervals to drivers. 11.engine misses/stalls when making sharp turns at random: fails to accelerate when merging into oncoming freeway traffic or turning out of parking lots. again, the ecm/tcm is having some sort of software communication error which is causing hazardous conditions to present themselves at random unpredictable intervals to drivers. freeway merging with oncoming traffic or out of a parking lot into oncoming traffic without the ability to accelerate the vehicle is an extremely hazardous condition not only to the passengers of the unresponsive vehicle but to the passengers/drivers in the oncoming traffic. -truck just bought back by gm at our loss. *tr

I purchased the 2014 silverado 1500 while it was raining. test drive was fine, but the sales person already had the vehicle running with the defroster and wipers on. drove home (2 miles) and parked. turned on the fan knob ( standard with a/c model) and the a/c turned on, this occurred nearly every time i turned it on and asked the dealer service center about it. i was told i am probably hitting it with my knuckles. i since tried only while pinching the knob to avoid this and the a/c still nearly turns on every time. also when the truck sits a while the first start is a hard one but after running and warmed up it will be fine to start. not sure if the truck battery needs a charge after sitting on the lot, i could also smell a rubber burning odor outside and through the vents, thought it was because it was new but then i seen there was a recall 3 days prior. when i tried anchoring my sons child seat i found no seat anchors in the center rear seat and only the ends. i worry about his seat near the door if there is a side crash. lastly, why isn't there rear sensors at a minimum a mandatory on trucks yet. cameras can still be offered as a option but sensors should be mandatory! *tr

Since day one i noticed that the voice commands were not acknowledging proper voice commands. i took it to the dealer 2/20/14 they said it was my phone.it takes me a good solid 3-5 minutes to get a phone call out because of the voice recognition doesn't work . i would also notice that on pandora it would say acquiring net work service. then from that, onto it saying network error.that happens no matter what every time i try to use it i have to turn blue tooth off and turn it back on and then connect it all over again. sometimes i can hear people and they cant here me. on 4/08/14 again i took it in the dealer for the bluetooth problem. my front headlamps get moisture in them when i wash my truck on. 3/13/14 they replaced my left headlamp, still the moisture happens.when turning on the truck from park and engaging on drive a loud clunk and a tough movement makes the truck feel like its swinging from n to s. again i took it to the dealer 2/20/14 and they said nothing was wrong. january of 2014 - april 2014 there were 20 times that my truck went into the service department 4 times for recalls thats 24 times in 4 months for a new truck i got in an accident on 4/20/2014 and 50 parts were put into the truck to repair it. it took the dealer selman 3 months before i had to call and ask what was going on with my truck everyone seems to be clueless. on top of all that i had to denied the truck 8 times because of wrong parts that were put on. they changed my whole front end . the lights turn on when they want, it sound like lose parts in side the dash.the truck shakes on freeway going 40-60mph i have that on video. i feel unsafe driving the truck. i feel that i am being discriminated at selman since they treat me different. i want someone to help me look into this truck it is unsafe for my family and wanted a buy back but they said no i should be able to get that option. *tr
