2014 Chevrolet Silverado

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED IN A STRONG MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES AND TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS FROM THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT REACHED OVER TO TURN THE HEAT OFF AND THE VEHICLE WENT OFF THE ROAD, DOWN A HILL, AND INTO A DITCH. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ON UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A CABLE THAT WAS CONNECTED TO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE TELEPHONE POLE SPLIT IN HALF. THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE CONTACT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS BACK, KNEE, AND HIP THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,956.

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. *TR

GAS MILEAGE COMPLAINT . STATED MILEAGE (HWY ) IS 22 MPG , THE FIRST SIX MONTHES OF DRIVING DID ACHIEVE THIS STATED MILEAGE ,OCCASIONALLY AS 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 WAS INSTALLED ? 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 ? *JS
