Problems with 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the stability traction control warning indicator flashed intermittently and various other warning indicators illuminated. in addition, the entertainment system flickered and the vehicle stalled several times due to a sudden loss of power. in addition, the electronic power steering seized each time the failure occurred. the dealer (ed bozarth chevrolet, 5501 drexel rd, las vegas, nv 89130, (702) 967-5500) was notified of the failures. the vehicle was kept at the dealer for weeks. the dealer indicated that the vehicle had a ground point g218 failure with a high negative resistance concerning the battery cable. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was not available.

While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning. the engine shuts down and all electrical is lost. luckily i haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection. after i get truck started there are numerous error codes in the display: open and close drivers side window, stabilatrak, steering wheel assist, stabilatrak reduce speed b/c of steering assist, 2 keys programmed. also while traveling at high rate of speed (70-80 mph) on highway the stabilatrak error would appear when i put turn signal on to change lanes but truck has not yet shut down under that condition. i have taken my truck to 2 different chevrolet dealers for this dangerous problem but they have not been able to find the problem. the last time the truck shut down on me was 9-19-2018 and the truck did not start right away and my 4-way flashers did not work while i was stranded in the intersection.

Product safety recall 17276 loss of steering assist -- my truck is not involved in this recall, but i am having the exact issues described in the recall, sudden loss and return of eps assist. this happens at low speeds when turning or backing, both forward and reverse motions. i am also having issues with the cruise control shutting off intermittently when activating the turn indicator to change lanes. i understand that this may be related to this recall, as the electrical software issues can cause other electrical systems to become temporarily disabled, such as the radio, stabilitrack, dic, chimes, door-lock cycling, air conditioning, or cruise control. also, when the turn indicator is activated and the cruise control shuts off, the dash lights also flicker. i have already had this truck in to the dealer once to fix this, and they refused to run the recall because my truck was not in the recall group. instead they charged me over $1,000 to replace a steering wheel position sensor, which i now doubt was the problem since the issues with loss of steering and disabling of cruise control have returned. i just want this fixed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that there was an internal failure pertaining to the electrical system. the theft deterent warning indicator kept randomly flashing and various warning indicators and gauges on the instrument panel shorted out. the contact stated that there was also a drastic loss of power, the vehicle failed to start, the key fob worked intermittently, and the vehicle stalled several times. initially, the dealer (lou fusz chevrolet, 5120 i-70 north outer rd, st peters, mo 63376, (636) 875-5400) only cleared the codes and the failures continued. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was not available. *bf.

Driving truck, slow speed, stabil track warning, power assisit warning, dash lights go out , mass electrical failure in all other dash systems. head lights blink with random. i traced issue to a bad ground connection in the dash. sound reduction material was pinched under ground stud connection causing high resistance connection. this is a dangerous issue it will effect control of the vehicle when it fails. it is a assembly issue on the production line and all vehicles need to be recalled for inspection of this issue.

Vehicle has loss of steering, stabilitrac and electrical and engine failure momentarily under 1000 rpm. not an everyday problem, but is becoming more frequent and had recall for steering control done

Vechicle shuts off while driving

While driving vehicle while turn itself off with no explanation. this has happened multiple times in the last few months. it has increased since i got the last recall done. this is extremely dangerous as it has shut off while i was turning across lanes and died in the middle of the intersection. the truck shuts completely off and has to be restated by turning the key.

Loss of electrical power to the vehicle while at slow speed. truck shows multiple warnings, i.e. stablitrak, reduce steering, window, etc. temporary loss of steering while driving; wheel tightens up and/or jerks hard. veh engine remains on during most occurrences but other times, engine shuts down completely. cause; 218 ground wire becomes loose and nut comes completely off post (see pics). solution: reinstall 218 ground wire to post.

My silverado frequently "shuts off" when i am making turns. this is extremely dangerous - the latest time i was pulling out into traffic and the engine and all electrical parts turn off. i was nearly hit by another vehicle. there was a recall for this exact issue and my local chevrolet dealer said they have "fixed it". i keep bringing the truck back to them, but they won't attempt to fix it again citing lemon laws because they can't get the truck to replicate the issue. i am beyond frustrated and at this point concerned about the safety of my children and myself as i drive.

Vehicle wont start, battery is fine, and electrical system went haywire, says to service each system seperately when trying to start. all passenger doors stopped locking and unlocking with key fobs and with door buttons as well. completely stranded without a vehicle. the vehicle was stationary, fortunantly.

While driving down the highway with ac on, when i attempt to use additional electronics (radio, blinker to change lanes, cruise control, brakes (brake lights), the electronics flicker, stability all resets, cruise control will shut off and the entire electronic system almost shuts off.

At low speeds such as in parking lots, especially after reversing or turning the vehicle will occasionally experience the following issue: display will say that stabilitrack is on, advise that power steering is reduced. the air conditioning, radio and other electric systems will then shut off. power steering is cut off along with brake pressure. on multiple occasions the engine has also shut off requiring the vehicle to be put into park or neutral to restart the engine. if this occurred on the highway it would certainly cause a major incident.

I was driving on the interstate at about 50mph when a stabilitrak message came up. after it came up the vehicle completely shut down for a couple seconds. i lost all steering and braking during this time as if the ignition was turned off. this happened a couple of times. when i got to my destination the vehicle completely shut down before i could put it into park and turn the ignition off. it is extremely concerning that the vehicle was doing this while driving at highway speeds.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving approximately 20 mph, the power steering assist warning indicator illuminated, the instrument panel became dark, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. the steering wheel returned to normal on its own after a few minutes. the failures were experienced several times. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: 8-45-0947295. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the failure mileage was 49,000.

Steering assist stabilizer reduced error on dashboard and vehicle shuts down.

Truck shut off at low speed & want turn all most reck mash button on steering wheel and it cuts off motor & steering & stereo & ac i'm kind of scary about driving it

Numerous occasions this vehicle will have issues when turning? on 5 different occasions this vehicle while in motion on a highway will suddenly turn off completely on its own and then suddenly turn back on after i release the steering wheel. this has happened while driving 75mph on hwy i-35 while i was changing lanes.

When turning into parking lot today at low speed, electrical system went crazy, screen flashed power steering failure, stabilitrac failure, doors locked and unlocked and engine died. restarted and was fine driving forward and repeated failures again when turning to park in parking space. it is fortunate this was in a parking lot and not on interstate or other main road or while turning at a traffic light. there was a recall in fall of 2017 for power steering that was repaired at dealership upon notification. when i contacted the dealership, the service department supervisor advised it sounded as if there was a poor connection of a battery cable. the battery was replaced just a few months ago. it seems to me that if a it's a battery cable connection issue, then gm has another safety problem they need to address since i've read numerous other complaints with the exact same issues, and in my opinion, there must be a manufacturer defect if battery cables just come loose for no apparent reason. this needs to be fixed before someone is very seriously injured or killed as a result of this dangerous condition. gm seems to be aware of the other reported issues and has taken no measures to correct it. maybe all of us who own their vehicles should file a class action lawsuit and they might get off their [xxx] and do something! i certainly won't hesitate to file a civil complaint for product liability if a family member is hurt as a result of their continued negligence. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*cc

While conducting low speed manuveurs radio and dash flashes off, then engine shuts off while vehicle is still in drive causing loss of steering assist and brake assistance. dash and radio turn back on and warning messages stating stabilitrak disabled, steering assistance reduced, 2 keys programmed, open and close drivers window, and park assist disabled are displayed. dealership thinks this could be due to corrosion in the power distribution box and recommended replacement.

While driving down the road and turning the steering wheel, the steering wheel snatches away from your hand. when doing so, the locks unlock and lock, then the stabilitrack light comes on. this has happened several times and twice the vehicle completely shut off. luckily my wife was turning into the driveway when it did because it shut off and the steering wheel locked. she is scared to death to drive this vehicle and i owe way too much money to trade it in. i've taken it to my dealership here and they tried reprogramming it due to a recall but that did not fix it. when i called to ask for assistance, they replied that it would be a minimum of 1 1/2 hour labor to diagnose it and that it $110 an hour. i've noticed while looking on the internet that this is a common problem with the year model truck. this is a major safety factor and needs to be addressed asap before something happens to one of my family members. people on the internet state that it is a grounding problem and the manufacturer knows about the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving 10 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to fairway chevrolet truck mega store (3100 e sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89104, (702) 948-7865) where it was diagnosed that the battery wire failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the failure was due to a software malfunction in the electrical system. the failure mileage was 77,000.

While driving my 2014 chevy silverado at any speed it will automatically shut off while turning completely disabling the engine, this also happens at any speed sometimes the vehicle will start and sometimes vehicle won't for several minutes i wish gm would recall this vehicle that i have only owned for 2 months before someone gets killed i bought it from phil long ford in colorado springs, i have taken it to the dealer and they can't seem to find any issues wrong with the vehicle they've had my truck for several days and i don't see them finding any answers

Vehicle loses power steering during turns at low speeds and will also turn vehicle off. if vehicle does not turn off, vehicle will display "redused power steering assist" and a stabilitrak warning. if vehicle turns off, vehicle will not turn on right away and dashboard display will not turn on when key is in the on position. after attempts to turn vehicle on, the smell of burning wires is smelled in the cab with no obvious electrical fire.

While turning my truck all electronics want to flash my locks will lock /unlock,my lights will flicker or flash, park assist unavailable will pop up on dashboard and my truck will shut off while im trying to turn

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while attempting to drive the vehicle, the power steering assist, trailer brake, and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. when the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, it operated normally. the vehicle was driven to an unknown dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall. no further assistance was provided. the approximate failure mileage was 74,186.

My 2014 chevrolet silverado is at a gm dealership for the 4th time due to complete electrical and engine shutdown while driving. the issue started during low speed sharp turns but now is happening while driving the vehicle straight. complete loss of use occurs and the vehicle will not come back on for 10 minutes after the occurrence. power steering recall has not resolved it, ground wire tightening has not resolved and main battery cable replacement has not resolved. dealership response is they don't know what the issue is caused from. i am very concerned this complete loss of power while driving will cause a severe collision and no recall or resolution has been created by gm.

My truck on a few different occasions has had the stability of arming come on out of nowhere and go off. when i back my truck in my drive way a couple times when i am going backwards and turning i have had the truck almost die due to the draw from the powerstering pump as i turn the steering wheel. i have had the engine die once while backing it in the driveway leaving me stranded in the street for a minute while the truck seemed to re-boot. when i am in park at night if the truck is running in park with the lights on and i turn the steering wheel back and forth the light will really dim and pulse as the steering wheel goes back and forth. with these issues i hope that this doesn't happen at an intersection or somewhere with more traffic and cause an accident that i have no control over.

The service theft deterrent system warning came up on my dashboard and the vehicle wouldn't start. removing the key and opening the door reset it. this happened friday, march 30th. on sunday april 1st, a similar event occurred, except this time, after getting the car started i drove about 1/4 mile and the vehicle lost all brake/steering support and then the engine cut off, leaving me to try bringing the vehicle to a stop myself (which thankfully i did). i took the vehicle to the dealership first thing on monday, april 2nd, and they ran tests and found a service bulletin saying to replace the negative battery cable and the junction box. being a service bulletin only though, it is not covered by the powertrain warranty and would cost $675. being that this is a safety issue since it cuts all power while someone is driving, i feel this to be unfair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving various speeds, the vehicle intermittently lost power and shook violently. in addition, the anti-theft, traction control, and window indicators illuminated. the contact veered to the shoulder of the road and turned off the vehicle. the vehicle failed to restart. the contact disconnected the battery and had the vehicle towed to ross downing buick gmc (1301 s morrison blvd, hammond, la 70403, (985) 269-0701). the dealer diagnosed that the distribution block was corroded and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the heated seat sensor and collision avoidance system ceased to function. seth wadley chevrolet buick of ada (1301 n broadway ave, ada, ok) was contacted and referred the contact to the gmc manufacturer. the contact stated the heated seats were repaired on two occasions. the manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was offered and the contact was referred to nhtsa. the vehicle failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The stabilitytrack will flash on and make the steering wheel very difficult to steer or while turning the steering wheel will jerk out of my hand and not let me maneuver the way i want to. at the same time the truck will briefly lose all power disabling everything. this has happened in parking lots as well as everyday city and highway driving and at all speeds from as slow as 5mph to as fast as 70mph. there has 2 times after this happens that i turn the truck off to try to restart it, the truck will be completely dead. not even the hazard lights will come on. there are other times where i will lose all power to my radio and driver info center and it stays black until i restart the truck a few times. i have taken it to the dealership now 4 separate times now and every time they say its something new. i have paid a little over $800 so far and it is still happening. i am now waiting to hear back from gm/chevy to see what they can do, but looking at what i have already dealt with it i am not optimistic. i have read other complaints about this and i am afraid that its only a matter of time that i will not be able to recover my steering and i will get in an accident with my family in the truck.

Vehicle shuts down while driving it has done this 4 times to which i lose ability to control steering and i have to brake and try to reach side of street as soon possible i have taken it to dealer every time and they do not give me a cause of why this is happening nor do they fix it. i have been charged each time i have taken this vehicle in to verify why is this happening. i had a lettter sent to me by a law firm law office of ronald j bolz, pllc. address 30928 ford road garden city michigan, 48135 phone number 1-888-453-6667 fax number 1-888-334-8333 web address www.lemonauto.com email address rbolz@lemon auto.com. manufacture denied any claim. i have done my research on this vehicle and there are many issues and complaints on this vehicle and this issue mentioned above. i am afraid to use vehicle to where i lose control and cause and accident. see documentation on dates of occurence

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the steering icon flashed and a lock indicator displayed. also, the brake light flashed and various unknown warning indicators flickered on the instrument panel. the contact stated that the steering seized when the steering wheel was turned to the left. in addition, the brakes failed to function properly and excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. team lake road auto sales (13988 conneaut lake rd, conneaut lake, pa 16316, (814) 382-9336) was notified of the failures and kept the vehicle for over three weeks. a loaner vehicle was provided. the contact had not received any specific technical guidelines regarding diagnosis and repairs. the dealer released the vehicle back to the owner and the failures recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and a second loaner vehicle was provided; however, the vehicle was returned without being repaired. the dealer indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced before it was purchased per nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). the contact informed the dealer several times that the remedy failed, but did not receive any recourse. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: pe18012 (service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). the manufacturer had not issued any brake system recalls for this year, make, and model vehicle and the vin was not included in the four electrical system recalls and two steering recalls. the manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. the failure mileage was not available.

At slow speeds (mostly when turning) power steering will go out. i've had 3 instances where the truck completely shut off and just as many where it felt like it was about to shut off. other symptoms have been while driving on highway, generally on a longer trip, warnings about stabiltrack needing service come on, my lane departure sensor will automatically switch from vibrate to audible beep, dimming my headlights or turning my turn signal on will cancel cruise control. i had the recall for software fix for power steering issues applied in september 2017 where previously i experienced none of these issues. all of these issues have been after the recall software fix was applied. the dealer says it's due to a film that builds up on the battery cable connection and causes it to not have a good connection with the battery. apparently there is a bulletin out for this issue but it isn't a recall so dealers are charging around $700 to fix this. having your truck turn off while driving is a clear safety issue and one that is much worse than the recall for having your power steering go out when turning at slow speeds.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. the failure occurred on multiple occasions. the battery was replaced, but the failure continued. the vehicle was towed to landers mclarty chevrolet in huntsville, al, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 42,000.

2014 model year chevrolet silverado 1500 and gmc sierra 1500 vehicles, equipped with e85 flex fuel capability (fhs), the flexible fuel sensor may become inoperative during normal operation due to an electrical failure caused by road salt and other environmental contaminants. with a faulty flex fuel sensor, the service engine soon light will illuminate and remote start will be inoperative.

While making a left turn into my driveway on a city street going approximately 10 mph, my steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left out of my hand, and the entire vehicle went dead (lost all power, lights, etc.). because the steering wheel locked, i was unable to turn fully into my driveway. as a result, the bed of the truck was sticking out into a major road and i was almost hit by cars coming around the curve by my driveway. it was dark and rainy. i called someone for help and we pushed the truck out of the roadway as best as possible, considering that the steering wheel was still locked. the truck would not restart. all power was gone. the only way i could think to move the truck was to jump start it with another vehicle. after jumpstarting the truck, the dash info system displayed, "action required: open then close driver window." this is the 2nd time this happened after chevy dealership performed recall 17276 "temporary loss of electrical power steering (eps) service (during low speed steering maneuvers). there is a tsb out alluding to this issue: #pit5405c: steering jerks or kicks back / reduced power steering assist / engine stall, etc. (jan 27, 2017) . why is there no recall??? this is a major safety issue and could have been deadly!

The mylink and radio keeps going out eean after being replaced. the dashboard funcions act erratically with blinking and then resets the statistics. when the horn is konked the mylink and radio go dead. the dangerous part id the dash functions acting erratically. hope it does not stall on my on the highway infront of a semit truck or something.

The radio randomly changes stations on its own and the touch screen doesnot work at random times. the front driver's and passenger's side windows go up and down automatically and cannot be stopped; when the window switch is depressed up or down, the window will make one complete cycle of opening and closing before stopping in the directed position. both these actions occur randomly and unsuspectingly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving 45 mph, the air conditioner failed to blow cold air. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to bruce walters ford-lincoln kia (302 south mayo, pikeville, ky 41501, (606) 444-2200) where it was diagnosed that the condenser failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

While on the highway a stabilitrack warning appeared on the dash stating it might affect power steering assist. this came on several times. then with the cruise control on and signaling a lane change the cruise was cancelled. this also occurred several times. it also appeared that the dash lights flickered ,but i wasn't sure because of the sunlight . later that evening i was making a turn on a city street when the dash lights went completely out and i had no power steering. this lasted about 2 seconds before everything came back on. after that episode it hasn't happened since. after reading other similar complaints i am concerned it could happen again and could result in a crash. it seems that when the cruise was cancelled when signaling the lane change, that if i pushed up or down on the turn signal lever at the end of the lever it would cancel the cruise control. i tried pushing down on the lever closer to the steering column and that didn't cancel out the cruise control. i don't know if it was just a coincidence or it just wasn't malfunctioning at the time.

I filed a previous complaint, #11044339, but forgot to add something. i took my vehicle to the dealer on sept. 22,2017 for the power steering recall ,#17276. i don't know if this is related to the problem , but thought it might be some good information to divulge.

Truck dash will flicker and cause stabletrak to disable, and then steering assist says limited. radio will change stations when this happens, and the steering wheel will lock up and is unable to be turned. has happened several times while we're on the highway. it's when we're in motion, has happened while trying to park, going on a back road, and on the highway. while in park, we can hear occasional clicking coming from inside the dash. it's been occurring since october, but was really bad on december 22nd. have a video of one of the occurrences, but not sure how to upload it.

I have been noticing some serious electrical issues in the last few weeks with my 2014 silverado 1500. it started with the "anti-theft detterent" system acting up and not allowing me to start the car. after flipping the key a few times, it went away. then the problem progressed to when turning the key it was if the battery was dead. everything would go black (lights, info center, dic, etc). after a few minutes of sitting, i could turn the key and it would start up no problems. then it all just went away for about 2 weeks. then just a few days ago, i was turning into a shopping center and the truck just died. the dash, the lights, the engine, everything. i nearly took out the entrance sign of the parking lot. hanging with my back end in traffic i quickly popped it neutral, restarted the truck, and pulled in. i couldn't recreate the problem. i drove to autozone and had them check the battery and alternator. everything was fine. about an hour later, in the drive thru at chick fil a, i placed the car in park, received my food, and as soon as i shifted out of park the truck died again, along with the dash and everything else. restarted and drove home. i spent about 30 mins driving around the block and sitting in the driveway trying to recreate the problem. i have yet to recreate.
