2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 electrical complaints
Page 4 of 13: complaints 71 to 100 of 341, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The 2014 and up Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models are notorious for electrical issues and bugs, some may have been recalled but other were not included in that recall while still having the same issues, these vehicles have major electrical system issues, from bad battery cables, down to every Control Module associated with the truck, over time salt, sand, mud, moisture disrupts certain key areas of the electrical wiring harness underneath the vehicle, General Motors knows about this but fails to recall these vehicles, it creates a very serious matter when you have no traction control, or any ABS function, along with loss of power steering assist. These control systems can be life and death when they are not working!. GM needs to address these issues and recall ALL 2014+ Silverado’s and alike for these electrical issues relating to “loss of communication with the ECM, BCM, TCM, EBCM, TCCM, PSCM, etc. these are costly break downs and these modules are very expensive to just throw in and hope it fixes the issue, most dealers don’t want to trace wiring issues and will just tell the customer cannot replicate which leaves us vulnerable. Some customers state their vehicles will randomly shut off while driving, others report their truck going into “Limp home mode”. Nobody can seem to centralize a specific area where the problems are occurring but believe it has something to do with the material and the way the harness was made.
At very slow speed (under 1 mph) the steering is unmanageable to turn, even if truck stopped and its required to make a relatively sharp turn. Seems the power steering stops working & airbag warning light turns on as well as parking assist stops working. Very dangerous!! Also when the temperature is under 30°F the dash/ display screen go black when I attempt to use the side window switches
Service trailer brake system repeatedly shows up blocking information screen and distracting me from driving with its chime and message
There is a complete loss of power so there is no way to start the truck. Here in North Dakota the wind chills go to fifty degrees below zero. It is life threatening when the truck won't start. Up to this point it has happened only when the vehicle is parked. The GM dealer has seen the truck, but it is a random problem and can't be "replicated" in the shop. The shop manager has seen the security symbol on the dash board and cleared it with the computer. When it happened this week in minus wind chills I called the dealer, and he suggested that I put the key in and let it sit for ten minutes! Nothing happened. When my husband caught a ride to help me, he wiggled the battery connection and the whole system turned on. The security anti theft device light had gone on while driving, but the book said to take it to a dealer!
While driving down the road a service alert comes up on the dash advising "Service Trailer Brake system". This alert is extremely distracting and will not go away while hitting the "dismiss" button. To my knowledge the trailer brake system on this vehicle has never been used. GM shoukd take full responsibility of this problem and issue a recall. Failure to do so could result in future vehicle accidents from people being distracted from this obnoxious alarm from a faulty part. I would supply a picture or video of the alarm but using my camera while driving would only add to the already present danders associated with this issue. Thanks for your time.
My truck loss of electric power steering it shuts off especially during low speed turning maneuvers. Lost and then returns then might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash. I have made an appointment at my dealership .
started it this morning with remote start (not after market) to warm it up and when i went out there the cab was full of smoke and the back window was glowing red with flames emerging. I extinguished fire and turned it off and the back window shattered.
Trailer brake control. Trailer brake module. Trailer wiring. All having issues warning comes up to check trailer brake wiring when there is no trailer connected.
While driving on I-70 between Cincinnati OH and Louisville KY at night, I switched high beams and the instrument panel, headlights, flickered off and on as the truck momentarily lurched. I stopped at gas station and shut truck off and when I tried to restart there was a complete loss of power. Under the hood I wiggled the blue connector to this box located on top of the battery (I think it is some kind of fusible link with two harnesses and other wires coming off of it. I then tried the key FOD and remote started the truck. I was able to get home that night but every time I would use passing lights the lurching and momentary power loss would occur. When I used the turn signal to turn on my street I lost all power and almost hit another car due to loss of steering and brakes - I wiggled the blue connector again on that fusible link box and was able to secure the vehicle. As I look at google and GM truck links I am seeing a large population of complaints on this issue that include possible grounding issues where a rubber grommet is being employed between the grounding strap and body, grounding wire in contact with passenger side header, and a number of other electrical issues. GM seems to be aware of the issue since they have a number of service bulletins addressing the issues (they instruct technicians not to change parts unless the issue is replicated) and I am concerned at the large number of these GM's possibly affected and the spread of year models noted.
The truck wouldn’t start, after jumping the battery and commencing our drive the truck would intermittently hit breaks with foot lightly on accelerator. Engine power is reduced showed on screen. Trailer break system warning. Upon doing research online, it it a failure due to the trailer wiring harness. (Example of error off of YouTube https://youtu.be/G2oJTytqIsk ) Dealership has told us they cannot fix it under warranty although it is a faulty part from the factory. Truck is completely undrivable/unsafe to operate and we are having to pay for rental car. 56000 miles and they are not honoring power train warranty.
I was driving and my truck just lost all power and my steering wheel locked up as I was turning. Lights turned off. This lasted for about 3 to 5 seconds. Then it turned back on. Then later in the day it happened in a drive through as I was leaving except it would not start back up. This should not be happening especially for a truck with only 53000 miles.
My vehicle started displaying a stabilitrak warning, gauge lights dimming, hard steering, and the ac turning off when I would push the brake pedal while driving. 15 miles later, while making a left hand turn, my vehicle shut off completely which caused a loss of power steering. I was able to avoid an accident as the vehicle did restart. Prior to this incident, I have taken the vehicle in twice to Chevrolet dealerships to diagnose this issue. Both times they stated they could not duplicate the issue so nothing was done. This seems to be a common issue for many 2014 Chevrolet Silverado owners.
Electronic power steering suddenly fails as low speeds, low speed turning, and backing up. Often occurs after dash lights flicker and stabilitrak warning comes up on dash monitor. Causes dangerous situations in parking lots trying to navigate around other cars. This is the second occurrence since purchasing the vehicle. I had it fixed once through a software fix. The problem has returned a year and a half later.
The vehicle has experienced dash and screen flickering while driving. When stopped and making turns the engine shuts off and the steering is locked. The whole dash goes blank. The engine is not able to restart or click. Anit-theft warning comes on for no reason. I feel there is a safety issue when driving this vehicle but no recalls have been placed. I don't feel safe driving my babies in the car.
Make a left turn and lose all power the truck just dies in may or may not start right back up
Vehicle losses electric power steering specially at low speeds tends to jump to the right side or locks the steering wheel possibly accident if it continues. There are recalls on most trucks like mine but it seems that my truck is not in the list and it should be this is a real safety issue I believe that I report it to you before.
Multiple GM vehicles have an error with the traction control system that they cannot diagnose and continuously dismiss to cover their mistakes. Many makes and models report warnings to Service Stabilitrak and Service Breaks along with numerous other warnings. After the warning, drivers are experiencing power failure, locking steering wheels, wrecks, exponential costs for investigations, and temporary fixes. GM will not release any information on investigations into this matter. GM Technicians can not adequately diagnose the issue and will say there is a grounding problem, Traction Control module needs to be reset, replace the battery, and many other bogus repairs to temporarily fix the problem. How many people will have to experience these mechanical errors that can cause serious wrecks or fatalities before the federal safety agency or GM will investigate? All GM owners should be absolutely disappointed and disgusted with the response from the safety measures put in place to "protect us."
My 2014 Silverado had a hose leak in 2018. Three years later I have the exact same issue. It’s a refrigerant leak. It has not been inspected this time around because it’s clear that this will be an ongoing expensive problem that I cannot afford. It’s in the 100’s out here and even hotter in a vehicle. My family and are getting sick from heat exhaustion I need immediate relief, please.
The vehicle will intermittently start to have electrical glitches such as loss of electric power steering, A/C and radio shutting off, stabilitrack shutting off and engine shutoff. I've heard there is a known ground issue with this model and its can be dangerous when moving if you lose steering control and engine control. This has happened multiple times the most recent was 6/28/2021
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle inadvertently shut-off. On several occasions, after the failure occurred, the vehicle independently restarted. During the failure, the power steering assist and traction control were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the negative battery cable assembly, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at speeds under 30 mph, the vehicle loss motive power without warning. Additionally, while turning the steering wheel in either direction, the failure recurred without warning. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the message "roll down the window; then roll the wind back up" was displayed. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
Issue first noticed when backing into a parking spot, at low speeds, when I turn the wheel I look power steering abilitiy and have to fight to turn the wheel. At the same time I have issues with the electrical system...radio cuts off/on, stabitrack warning, doors unlock then lock, ac cuts off/on. After this happening very randomly for a few months it has progressively gotten worse. Most recently I was turning left on a busy street and the same above mentioned things happened, stalling me out in the middle of the street. I was luckly not to get hit due to a couple defensive drives able to avoid me. I have already hadthe Safety Recall fixed (#17276), however its the same exact symptoms as the recall.
Having issues where steering will lock up while driving at slow speeds. Air conditioner will stop radio will go out will get a message about stabalink and driving assist may have stopped. Will be like this for a few minutes and then I get control again. Also while driving on the highway I notice this to
Vehicle will shut off while driving at low speeds. Also power steering will come on and off during turns. Happens often. Then a messege pops up on dash to lower than put up drive side window. This happens without any warning.
Check engine light comes on p06dd. Initially it was a oil injector that needed replacing within the first 4 years of purchase of a new truck. When the code comes on later it's the oil pump. Oil pump has a pressure switch on it that says pump oil at 10 ppm, if it goes at 7 ppm it will cause the check engine light to come on.the oil pressure going into the engine at 7 ppm is not s serious issue and shouldn't cause the check engine light to come on.I live in a state county where you can't register your 1500 truck for a new vehicle registration with the check engine light on.the dealer wants to bill me 10 hours of labor because of where the oil pump is located inside the engine.the local dealership wants to charge $1,000 for the replacement fo the oil pump and the connected sensor.I would like to see a recall effort happen which will not make the sensor enact the check engine light for small irreverent discretion with the pressure switch.
When I take low speed turns, either going forward or backwards, the power steering starts going in and out and the radio will turn off. Sometime the whole vehicle will shut off or just turn off then right back on. The stability track messege pops up on the dash. When this happens my vehicle will reset itself.
Vehicle's electrical system will fail while driving, it may fail during ignition, and it may fail immediately after shutdown. These failures are catastrophic. All systems in the vehicle fail at once. All steering and braking assistance, all lights, HVAC, ignition, fuel delivery, all electrical systems are affected by this dysfunction. This is highly dangerous as it can and does occur while driving at highway as well as residential speeds. Associated failures include various dash modules unresponsive or off intermittently, stabilitrac service message, action needed message: roll down then up driver window, exterior and interior lighting including headlights flickering and dimming, frozen or glitched or otherwise unresponsive radio, steering wheel forcefully jerking without input from driver or road, 'traction off' indicators. All issues are sporadic, chronic, and debilitating. Vehicle has delivered stabilitrak messages and momentarily tripped all electronics while driving as well. Not every failure is complete, some glitches in the electrical may persistently occur under normal driving conditions, this puts un due strain on the attention, mindfulness, and peace a driver is reasonably expected to achieve in any vehicle. This has also been a precursor to complete failure and great care must be taken to remove the vehicle from roadways and traffic.
When I am driving I turn the blinker on or press the brake and the stable track comes on truck turns off at low speeds when I am turning the wheel or pressing the brake took it to the chevy dealership and nothing I tell them I almost crashed due to this issue and they say it's your hole wired electrical system that doesn't make sense I tell them I need recalls done and they still do nothing
While driving, the "service trailer brakes system" kept coming on. There was a visual and audio warning chime that would not stop. Instead of a single notification to the driver, the intermittent connection would result in the error message continuously re-appearing and chiming. This was extremely distracting and could increase risk of crash. I removed the brake gain controller from the dash and found corrosion on an electrical contact strip. After cleaning it with electronics cleaner, the error message went away.
