Page 12 of 13: complaints 311 to 340 of 341, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving the truck in downtown austin, I pulled in to the right to a restaurant, and proceeded to pull up and park in reverse. As I pulled up and aligned the truck I slightly turned the truck steering wheel to the left to straighten up as I did this the steering wheel jerked to the left even more with its own force, the display marked stabilitrak and engine power reduced , and then did this to me the entire time I was trying to straighten up the truck to try and back up to park. Not only that my wife who drives the truck daily said it did this to her several times before and its even completely died on her, with her having to put the truck back into park and restart the truck. Luckily it has not yet done this to us or more specifically to my wife because she drives the truck daily, to her on the interstate or major highway . This is a huge safety concern and have taken the truck to the dealer several times and its stayed there a few days each time. With them only repairing the recalls. And them not being able to reproduce what happened to my wife and I both. This is a major issue and the dealer cant find anything supposedly wrong with the truck. I have no idea what to do now, and am stuck with the truck with no answers what so eve!!!!!!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 65 MPH, the contact noticed flames underneath the vehicle. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and the fire department extinguished the fire. There were no injuries and a fire report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
While driving down the road randomly when I go to turn service stabilitrack pops up and when you try to turn it jerks the wheel back to zero. This has happened to me 3 times in the past month. I have had two dealerships look at it and could not find the issue. I have contacted gm and all they say is the dealer has to replicate it . And they will not foot the bill for me a loaner. This truck is not safe to drive and I feel like I should not be responsible seeing how just a little research will show many other people having the same issues I have. Of course gm tells me they are not aware of the issue which is a lie.
Engine light and traction light came on then displayed stabilizer malfunction the truck stop while driving down the road. Difficult to steer when engine stopped. Car has stopped several times. Dealer unable to find problem with truck. This problem has been occurring with the different lights displaying a malfunction and the truck stopping for the past 2 weeks
I purchased the vehicle june 2016 with 32k miles on the odometer. August 2016 at 35k miles while driving at 55mph, the entire electrical system shut down 4 times within 2 miles. As I turned into my driveway, the electrical system shut down again along with the ability to control the vehicle. The steering wheel jerked violently and the vehicle stopped just short of hitting my mailbox. All functions were dead at this point. I turned the key to the off position and back on and the vehicle started as if nothing happened. 3 days later on a family outing, after parking the vehicle in a parking space at a theme park, my wife had forgotten her theme park mug, so we walked back to get it. When I tried to unlock the vehicle using the remote key entry, the vehicle would not unlock. I used the key to manually unlock the vehicle and noticed the courtesy light was not on when I opened the door. I then tried to start the vehicle and it would not do anything. It had no power as if the battery was dead. After spending the day in the theme park with friends, we were going to get a ride home due to the vehicle not starting. I told them lets try to start it again and see if it will do anything. It started as if nothing happened. I took the vehicle to the dealer the following day and they said it was a negative battery cable. They kept the vehicle for a week and said the problem had been fixed. 2 weeks later, the vehicle started the same erratic process. The electrical components shut down and the steering wheel jerked violently at the same time. The service stabilitrak light came on and that was while driving in a public parking lot. If this happens on a highway or interstate, someone is going to get seriously or fatally injured. I also have video of the erratic behavior. A person has no control of a gm vehicle with this same issue and gm is placing lives at risk.
Electrical fire: my vehicle was having electrical issues. My radio would randomly change, turn on and off. The parking sensors would randomly go off even while driving forward, down the highway! I had a service appointment scheduled. However, prior to the appointment my vehicle burned up. The cause was found to be a control/computer board in the dash. The vehicle was parked at the time of the fire, it had been about 1 hour since driven last. I have several pictures, fire investigation report and insurance inspection report.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 75 MPH, the contact attempted to switch lanes and all power seized in the vehicle. The electronic stability control light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic body control module needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred numerous times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,764.
I was having what I thought was an electrical problem. In traffic after hitting my breaks many times I noticed my dash lights go dim, the radio would cut out once in a while and my gauge cluster would reset just like it looks when you first start the truck. This happened several times in approx.30 min. I was planning on taking it in the first chance I got but the next day I was driving in my residential neighborhood, a car was coming the opposite way when and I hit my breaks the steering wheel violently jerked out of my hand and caused the vehicle to drive up onto the sidewalk and almost into a retaining wall. Everything was dinging the ABS and other lights were on and the word stabilitac was displayed on the center dash. Thankfully no one was injured. I immediately called the dealership when I got home and took it in to have it looked at. The dealership had my truck for several days and offered no real explanation for what caused the problem other than it was a software problem. Now here we are a month later I'm driving down the interstate and take my exit for work. When I hit my breaks the lights go dim in the truck, the radio goes out, the ABS and other indicator lights come on, things are dinging and stabilitrac is displayed on the screen on the dash. When I started into my turn the wheel jerked violently many times in the opposite direction of my turn causing the vehicle to go onto the shoulder of the off ramp. It took every bit of strength to keep the vehicle on the road. I reluctantly continued on to work as it happened a few more times. One of them I was able to capture on video. The vehicle is currently at the same dealership that made the first assessment and repair. I don't feel safe operating this vehicle even after the repair as it has been proven it can and will happen again.. Someone is going to get killed or seriously injured if gm doesn't fix it.
After having the battery replaced, the vehicle started giving "stabiltrak service required" "reduced power to steering" warnings. At these times and intermittently afterwards, these would appear and the steering would then respond as if the engine were not running while underway. This happened in several parking lots requiring close maneuvering as well as on the florida turnpike, endangering my family, myself and others. The local dealership claimed and replaced the entire positive engine lead, stating that was the cause. The same issue has arisen again and now I am being informed there are now multiple low voltage codes due to this short. Researching online forums, this has been an issue among many who own this truck. It would appear this could be a life threatening situation that needs to be addressed. This began happening on approx. June 20th and continued until "repaired" june
I have had this issues happen numerous times. The first I was backing up into a parking spot and my service stabilitrak warning came on, and my steering wheel started jerking left and right on its own. 2nd time I was pulling into my parents drive way and warning came on while turning causing truck to jerk and I almost hit the corner of the house. A 3rd time happened again reversing but this time my headlights dimmed and I had multiple service warnings pop up. A 4th time I was again about to reverse. I was able to straighten up and while in reverse and foot on brake, I would turn steering wheel and it would jerk back to center on its own. I took video of that accurance. While driving on the highway yesterday night. I noticed my headlights kept going dim then bright. While in cruise control going 75mph I moved left to pass a vehicle, when I turned right signal on to come back to lane my cruise disengaged. This happend 5 times. Before one of the occurrences while in cruise I tapped the brake to slow down, and my volt gauge dropped to 10 or so and the headlights almlst shut off and all lights in cab flikered on and off. It almost felt like the truck was about to turn off but didn't. Last issue, a few times I have tried to start the truck and the anti theft deterant comes on and I have to try numeros times to get truck to start.
**stabilitrak** while driving home on the interstate I noticed that when I pressed the brake the radio blinked off. Then when I activated the turn signals the radio blinked off. After exiting the highway the dash lights would flicker as well. While attempting to make a left hand turn into my development the truck shut off, wheel whipped hard and locked while making that left hand turn. This forced the truck into the grass coming within feet of a tree. Service stabilitrak warning appeared on dash. Truck was able to be restarted, backed out of grass and parked in driveway at home.
Problem started with the radio display blinking off when I pressed brake pedal or activated turn signals. Thought this was strange, but did not think of it as a safety concern. I then got stuck in a little rush hour traffic on the highway, I noticed while holding the brake on for extended periods of time the transmission would down shift extremely hard and just acting strange all together. Traffic was moving approx 30 MPH when the radio blinked off the doors locked, unlocked then locked again. A message flashed on the dash something stabilitrak then started shifting extremely hard again. I was on the interstate and no where safely to pull over. I was traveling with my [xxx] old child and had some serious safety concerns at this point. No more than a mile later, while in the same stop and go traffic and apply the brakes, the radio blinked off and the truck shut down completely while traveling around 30-35 MPH in traffic with a tractor trailer behind me. I was able to shift the truck to neutral to start the truck and continue to the next exit. When slowing down the truck started to sputter out almost to a stall and quickly flashing a stabilitrak message and the dash blinking off, until I released my foot off the brake. I called to have a family member come pick my child up as I had serious safety concerns of my child being in the vehicle. I continued to my appointment which involved accessing the turnpike through toll booths. While slowing down to enter the toll plaza the truck did the same thing radio blinked off, dash displays blinked off, sputtering the steering wheel at this point ripped out of my hand almost causing a collision, stabilitrak message appearing. Once I got to my destination the truck sat for approx 2 hours. My return trip was normal and did not have any issues. This truck is a death trap with this problem occurring.
Vehicle is presently at the dealership for the fifth time. While driving with cruise, when changing lanes after turn signal is used the cruise shuts down. On several occasions while in the middle of a turn the dash lights flash, locks flip up n down, steering wheel jerks back n forth then vehicle dies. The incident that is reason for being in the shop now is, while in a parking lot, steering locked n unlocked, door locks again flipped up n down, vehicle died with no power. Could not unlock the vehicle, no power what so ever, key would no turn. Eventually I heard a psst noise and the power came back. The previous times taken to the dealer, I'm always told, cannot duplicate. This is a danger to me,my family. After being a faithful gm fan for over 40+ years they have lost this guy to another make of vehicle, especially after reading so many of the same complaints, as I, without resolve. They have lost my trust.
We own a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. Upon traveling a low rate of speed or under 40 MPH, there is a sudden loss of power. The vehicle hesitates numerous times and stalled. The vehicle shuts off and there is a loss of power and engine dies. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than twice, but they were unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The approximate failure mileage is 35,024.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
