Page 3 of 13: complaints 41 to 70 of 341, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Steering assist warning light comes on and vehicle shut down losing ability to steer or brake , vehicle wouldn’t start,tried to start the next day and vehicle started.Before warning light all lights flickered when applying brakes and other warning lights lit up!
Temporary loss of electric power steering assist, happens mostly at low speeds. also complete loss of power and engine Turing at low speeds. luckily was driving less than 10 MPH but had zero control of the truck and brakes did not work and ran into and curb that stopped me. The vehicle was taken into the Chevy Dealership in Covina 3 times and they said there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. There was no warnings at all, just total loss of control
Using a signal for lane changes causes cruise control to disengage, suspension messages and air bag failure messages as well as tire failure icon would all come on and when leaving the exit ramp and decelerating the engine would die and system would lock up without ability to steer. So dangerous. Then next trip all is good but the engine failing while driving has happened a half dozen times. The last incident was another engine failure during an exit from the interstate in November.
Slow Crank, and Theft Deterrent System comes on while driving and you loose power to the vehicle and stalls outs while in motion, bad negative battery cables are to blame from all our research on this vehicle from multiple online videos it is common for this year, make, model. It happened to us while driving on a highway luck was on our side and no one was around us.
Trucks electrical system will flash and blink and shut down the truck this has happened to me while driving at night on the highway it is very dangerous. Also research I have done shows there is a bunch of people having this problem and they have found that a ground has factory insulation in between the ground and the nut
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the “Service Trailer Brake System" message was constantly displayed. The contact indicated that while the message was displayed, the speedometer and instrument cluster gauges were inoperable. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified, and a service appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000.
The rear window defogger caught fire. It caught fire while parked next to a gas pump after using the auto start. If it had happened while driving down the road it could've caused a bad accident. It shattered the window as well so I've had to tape the back window which is limiting my view when driving. The dealership I bought it from knows about the issue. GM has already recalled 160,000 trucks for the same reason in Canada but never issued a recall for any US trucks. Nobody has inspected the component yet as I have not had the money to replace it but it is in the same state/condition it was in after the fire. There were no warning lights or symptoms. The rear window defogger comes on every time the remote start is used. I've used the remote start plenty of times before, luckily I was close to the truck when it happened to catch fire this time or the truck may have caught fire and burned completely. I want to point out the fact that GM has already issued a recall for the exact same problem I had but only for Canada trucks. They said they were investigating to see if there were any in the US that were sold but clearly there were.
TCM Failed. Caused vehicle to no longer shift through drive gears while operating. After stopped no longer able to start vehicle. Appears to be common as a result replacement parts re not available.
The power steering went out without warning. The power steering system failed without warning during operation. There was a recall for this in 2017 but my VIN number is not included in this recall.
Steering assistance failed during slow speed turn into side street. Vehicle stalled with no power to steer or brake. Engine turned off allowing vehicle to dead stick accross two lanes of traffic for opposite direction. Vehicle came to rest in parking lot nearby. Had there been vehicles in those lanes an accident would have occurred. Dash board monitor gives signals that "stability track" off and check engine have issues. In August of 2017 received recall letter from GM citing problem with EPS (electric power steering). Took vehicle to Serpentini Chevy on August 13th 2017 and they reprogramed EPS Module. Milage at this time was 20,085. They did not charge for repair. In 2017 my vehicle had no symptoms of recall. Now in 2022 this EPS problem is happening with milage 54,000 twice almost causing MVA.
For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have never even used the trailer brake. Whe. The warning started i took the truck tk get checked they replaced everything but the wire harness and still every other day i get the warning. Thankfully it has not caused an accident yet but the warning is non stop once it starts.I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.
Dash lights flicker, head lights flicker, loses electrical power randomly, loses power steering at low speeds and electrical power.
As I was picking up my child from school my steering wheel and ac stopped working my steering wheel got locked. I was putting everyone’s life at risk because I wasn’t able to make a turn . We’ve been searching everywhere and it seems it’s a recall .
For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have driven this vehicle since it's original purchase and have never even used the trailer brake. (Even though it's been titled twice - I purchased it from the company I work for.) Thankfully it has not caused any accidents. Just an annoyance. But I have been reading online that some owners have been unable to operate their vehicles due to this issue. This is not a daily driver vehicle but today was the most recent episode with the warning. I drove maybe a couple of miles total and it chimed and notified me approximately 20 times in this short distance. I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.
Trailer brake system keep coming on it is starting to become unbearable and I can barely drive my truck, it comes on at least 20 times while I’m driving on a day so over 100 times in a week
When I slow down and turn my truck suddenly losses power steering. Everything turns off for a second and then comes back on. And I get a notice on the dash that I lost power.
I purchased this vehicle used in July of 2020. Ever since then, I have experienced random issues with a Service-Trailer Brake System warning coming on. It will keep coming and the chime is extremely distracting and cannot be silenced for any significant period of time. After reviewing on the internet, I am also very concernd about pulling a load with a braking system. I may go for hundreds of miles with no warning, then the warning will start coming in repeatedly. I have not at this time attempted any repairs.
stabilitrak light and engine light comes on causing vehicle to lose power, steering wheel locks up, lights flicking on and off, and time engines shut off...This is an hazard while driving vehicle on highway road and regular streets especially.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the trailer brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, and the dealer replaced the trailer brake switch; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.
Whenever I connect my trailer to the truck, I get a "Check Trailer Wiring" message on my dash and a dinging sound. The trailer is new, but I returned it to the dealer, and they tore it down to the frame to check the wiring. Several diagnostics were run on the truck and the truck connector was changed, and yet the dinging persisted. Finally, Hendricks Chevrolet in Durham, NC was able to fix the problem, but only temporarily. After 4,000 miles the dinging resumed. I cannot pull my trailer with my truck safely; I would have to drive without brakes and lights. And now I am stranded in California at my sister's home, two days' drive from my new home in CO, and no way to pull the trailer. This has been an ongoing issue that Chevy has ignored. Chevy wants another diagnostic run, even though the diagnostics come back clear. I asked the Chevy team member on the call who can fix a Chevy if Chevy cannot. He had no answer.
Service trailer brake system does not stop dinging and a/c has not worked for 3 summers have took to dealership 6 times .. also bad ground truck completely losses power sometimes
I almost got in a wreck this morning. I turned down a street lost power, brakes and steering all at once. this has been happening ever since I bought this truck. Thank God the vehicle behind me was traveling at a safe distance. The system says I have no recalls but I continue to read issues involving total loss of power on 2014 Chevy Silverado‘s? What’s it gonna take for Chevy to own this mistake?
It has an electrical issue that I have read is a consistent problem with the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado that is apparently a grounding issue that causes the battery to surge at intermittently after 2+ hours of driving and dash lighting flickers, cuts off cruise control if in use, media and cabin functions disappear altogether in some instances but most importantly, due to the subsequent surge followed by an immediate draining of the battery, the power steering and steering assist becomes disabled especially at low speeds when making any type of turn creating a hazard to the vehicle, it's occupants, and surroundings due to the suddenness of it happening leaving very little reaction time for the driver to recognize and correct their course speed and obstacles due to the fact that the steering gives substantial resistance when trying to turn the steering wheel. ***(speed description below indicates the issue presents itself and happens randomly to where the speed at the time of each occurrence isnt an attributing factor) but the number of incidents multiply and become more prominent and hazardous the longer the vehicle is driven in a single start/stop drive as issue starts to spread into affecting more and more systems and functions especially after 4 hours and over where it could cause a collision and/or injury.
The trailer brake warning has began to beep almost nonstop at times whether trailering or not. Even sitting in the driveway.
My truck has 143282 miles. Approximately 6May2022 I started receiving a “Trailer Brake System” warning message on my dash accompanied by an audible alarm. Two days later after towing a trailer (now with NO or Intermittent brake control) I had numerous warning lights for the transmission and fuel systems that was diagnosed by Wheelers Chevrolet (in Coloma, WI) as a High pressure fuel pump failure. The trailer brake warning still exists and was diagnosed as corroded wires at the trailer brake control module. This should not be occurring as all of these connections are sealed by O-rings. The “Service Trailer Brake System” warning still occurs at start-up as well as while driving even when NO trailer is being towed or connected. This becomes distracting, and is causing other systems on my truck to fail when they should not be. This is beyond a safety concern and should have some serious investigation done.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the service trailer system dismiss message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
