From day 1 had rust issues on frame. I found out rhere was a tsb on this .I took it to get fixed ,but I am not happy with the way it was done.rust is still on frame where bumpers attach and other areas of frame not accessible.they did not recall this issue.they did not extend the warranty.there are many complaints online about this issue.they are aware if a problem and hope many owners don't realize it.I told a friend of mine about frame issue as he has one to .they extended his warranty and are going to take the box off truck to repair it.I wasn't offered that as a matter of fact I argued with them about not taking bumpers off to repair it.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.
Paint and frame coating defective.
The frame has massive amounts of rust. Front to back even reaching up into the cab at the rear seat mounts. Only 22,000 miles. Never seen this much aggressive rust on such a new vehicle. Fear it could effect the vehicle systems, brakes or frame integrity, seat mounts. Bought the vehicle used in june 2016 (private party) and did not realize the extent of the issue. On brief visual inspection looked like normal michigan rust. It's so new and the body is perfect didn't think I had to look into rust issues. Checked car fax for recalls and accidents.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 80 MPH, the vehicle vibrated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000.
Frame rust has developed on rails under bed. The protective wax coating is falling off, one section is about three inches. Rust has developed in the tubes of the frame and on areas connected to the frame. I have had the truck for about a year and about 12,000 miles. The rust has been progressively getting worse.
My 84 year old father hit a deer on the right front bumper of his 2014 chevy silverado ltz going 55 MPH on october 30, 2014. All of the air bags deployed except for the drivers air bag. The drivers air bag did not deploy. In addition to the drivers air bag not deploying, there was structural damage to the right front passenger side bumper. My father took his vehicle to james wood motors decatur, 2111 s hwy 287, decatur, tx 76234, to get an estimate on repairing the vehicle. They talked him into trading his 2014 chevy silverado ltz wrecked vehicle for a 2015 chevy silverado ltz. [xxx] told my father that they would be salvaging the vehicle, or something like that, and they encouraged him to trade in his wrecked vehicle because the trade in value would be affected by the crash. Keep in mind that my father had a long relationship with them with trading in vehicles for newer ones and they knew that my father was very concerned with the trade-in value of his vehicle. They never discussed with my father the fact that the drivers air bag did not deploy. Today, I ran a car fax check on my father's crashed vehicle and the report shows: no accidents reported, no structural damage reported, no air bag deployment reported. Also, the car fax report shows a new owner from grand prairie, texas, that purchased the vehicle on 3-36-2015. I think it's outrageous that james wood motors decatur took advantage of my father because of his age, encouraged him to trade in his wrecked vehicle and then they turned around and sold the vehicle to someone without reporting any of the damage to the vehicle and the fact that the drivers air bag did not deploy. Someone needs to look into this. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While traveling with the vehicle cruise control set at 45mph the vehicle dropped from 6 cylinders to 4 cylinders. When the vehicle was in 4 cylinder mode and it had to accelerate the entire passenger compartment started to violently vibrate (sorry but that??s the best description I can give) almost lost control of the vehicle. This is a recurring problem chevrolet so far has changed the tires, realigned the catalytic converter, replaced the exhaust clamps, attempted to replace the entire exhaust system. None of these have yet to resolve the problem. This occurs at all speeds with or without cruise control engaged.
Upon delivery of new 2014 crew cab silverado, with 21 miles, frame rust was occurring and coating was peeling off. Gm is aware of issue and has a tsb, #pi0564d, but dealerships are reluctant or unwilling to address the issue. I live in the north east with heavy road salting and before the truck has even seen wet pavement, the frame is rusting due to manufacturer defects during the assembly. I am currently unable to get satisfactory repair with the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Gm can not claim, like they want to, that environmental issues causing rust are not covered by the warranty. This frame rust is occurring at the factory due to assembly line defects probably related to not washing/treating the frames prior to coating them.
This vehicle has a vibration that is felt thru out the steering wheel, floor pan and accelerator pedal. It causes the middle console to shake/vibrate. This has been an ongoing issue that I believe will cause catastrophic failure in the vehicle at a later date. The dealership offered to let me trade it in on another vehicle at my full expense, and states that my vehicle is acting as designed. Gm refuses to address the problem.
When the truck reaches a speed over 35 MPH the steering wheel, the seat, and the entire truck has a vibration. I live in east tennessee. I purchased the truck in georgia. It is about a three hour drive from where I purchased the truck to my home. On the drive home I noticed the vibration right away. I thought it may be a tire balance issue so I continued the trip home. The next day I talked with the local dealer and was informed I need 500 miles on the truck before they will work a vibration issue. When I took the truck for service a few days later I was informed that several trucks have this same issue and gm does not know what to do about the issue. The dealer balanced the tires and told me that is all they can do about the vibration. Through searching the internet and talking with other dealers I have found that may parts have been replaced with no help. Drive shafts,axle shafts, wheels and tires have been replaced and rear ends have been rebuilt. Nothing seems to help. Most dealers have worked this issue on several trucks. If this vibration is coming from any part of the drive train or suspension and the part has a catastrophic failure it can cause serious injury or possibly death.

The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. Consumer writes in regards to driver seat controls moved to a different position and outside mirrors collapsed while driving. *smd the consumer stated the incident happened twice. Also, the doors were not as tight as advertised, as water and salt entered the vehicle.
At less than 2,000 miles, the frame and rear axle is rusting through the "protective" wax coating. Where my dealer placed jack points when jacking up the vehicle during pre-sale inspection, there are distinct rust marks in the shape of the jack point. The axle has rust spots increasing in size every week. The frame has rust spots increasing in size and apparent severity every week. The wax coating is often found in flakes under my truck in my garage in the morning. I had a 2011 silverado that, at 22k, had zero frame rust and it was exposed numerous times to chicago and minneapolis winters, including the heavy road salt. This new truck has never left georgia since its purchase. I am concerned about the structural integrity of this vehicle over time if the frame will rust as much as it has in less than 2,000 miles. What will it look like at 50k mi.?
Frame rails are showing rust. Also rear axle is rusting.
I bought this truck brand new on february 13, 2014 with approximately 33 miles on the odometer. On april 23, 2014, I noticed that the black wax coating on the frame was peeling off and rust was developing in several locations. I am currently in the process of trying to get this repaired through the dealership that I purchased the truck from. In the mean time I've been inspecting other 2014 silverados on dealership lots and I noticed rust developing on those frames in various locations as well. After consulting with a dealership service department, I have found out that there is a service bulletin out regarding this problem. In my opinion though a brand new truck should not be rusting like this and I have serious concerns regarding the long term quality and safety of this vehicle as a result.
Severe rust over entire vehicle frame. Black paint flaking off everywhere and severe corrosion where wiring harnesses ground to frame. Wax coating almost does not exist.
The rear window of my 2014 ltz double cab reflects the climatic control panel lights back to the rear view mirror during night driving. The reflection is a severe distraction during night time driving, especially when no one is immediately behind you with their lights on. Gm is aware of problem and is doing nothing about it. I've had the dealership (lotspeich in warrensburg, mo 64093) in contact with gm. Gm direction is to turn down the instrument panel lights, that would be off, to reduce/eliminate reflection. This is a manufacturing/design issue causing, what I believe to be, a safety concern. To keep this reflection from distracting me I turn my mirror down, shifting the reflection, problem is I know can't see out of the rear view mirror.
