Started making a turn and the truck instantly shut off leading to power steering loss causing me to end up in the opposing lane almost hitting two children and their father on bikes. Father didn't have much patience with me trying to explain that it was a problem with the truck... Fix this issue or else it will become a huge liability. Buy back all of these trucks and crush them.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 electrical complaints
Page 6 of 13: complaints 131 to 160 of 341, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving through a public parking lot, at a slow turn the truck stopped dead. No power, barely was able to stop without hitting parked vehicles. To make it even more dangerous than it already was, another car almost hit me because of my sudden stop. I was then trapped in my pickup. Windows and doors would not open. No response from turning the key. This is the second time its happened and both were at low speeds. The first time I thought it was my error. I looked it up on social media and found many others had the same problem. Some people said no recall on such a 'common' and unsafe problem, another said there was a recall open. I was told by gm headquarters no recall. Told by service mgr at the dealership, told me there is a recall issued. Only after I brought it to the dealership, they tell me it'll cost me $364. I asked about what he told me only 3 days earlier of the recall, he then denied it. With the severity of the problem and the numbers of persons who complained, I would think this should be at chevy's expense. I will be taking the truck on vacation the end of the month. If something should happen, I've instructed our two children to secure a good lawyer and open a wrongful death/injury suit. I will have documentation of the information I reviewed through social media comments along with this complaint and the repairs by this 'certified' dealership at their ready.
Loss of power and steering when parking, turning the steering wheel and when pushing on the brake pedal when making turns atstop signs or at traffic lights.
Loss of power to vehicle when making turns at low speeds on city roads, in parking lots, and on and off highways, you have to place vehicle in park and turn back on. Steering assist and stabilitrak has been becoming disabled on a regular basis along with the steering wheel being jerked out of my hands while making turns on city streets, in parking lots, and on and off the highway. Service stabilitrak and steering assist messages are displayed during these time however do not leave a check engine light no to be scanned. Gm dealer states they are not able to duplicate the issue and are not able to fix it. This is a safety concern for me and other drivers on the road.
Sometimes when I hold down on the brake pedal some electrical issue happenes and my steering wheel gets very hard my AC turns off my whole dashboard turns off and so does my radio then after about 10 seconds it turns back on. I also noticed that when I'm rolling up the windows my headlights dim. I think somethings wrong with the electrical system of the vehicle I had the battery checked once and it was not the voltage it needed I replaced it with the battery from the dealership it was well for about three months and the issue reoccurred. When I am reversing my steering wheel gets very hard as I'm pressing on the pedal while I'm parking it doesn't do it all the time but it does do it frequently.
Having major complications with steering while backing up, loss or power steering and brake system not working accurately
In motion and at low speed, the vehicle stalls out when idling into a tight turn, like a parking lot or space. it hasn't always cut totally off. Usually the 'stability trac' light comes on with the failure, but some times it just cuts off, and when I crank it restarts right up.
When driving a making a turn, the vehicle dies!! It can be restarted, but the danger of someone ass ending you is a scary one! Has happened a number of times, it stalls and then you can restart. No definite date as it happens often
Twice now while driving in a parking lot and also on a street making a turn, the electrical flashed, turned off and then the truck died, locking the power steering and power brakes. Dealer service department has twoce said battery, but based on so many others with the same issue on many cehvy forums, this is an electrical issue and needs a recall. Extremely dangerous!
Stabilitrek flashes and then vehicles steering locks up and the truck dies. Usually it's when I'm going slow and usually it's when I'm turning. This is happening now in august of 2020 but also happened a few years ago and then there was a recall. It's very dangerous. No warning and the truck dies very unexpectedly. Please fix this problem I see others are complaining too
I am having issues with my 2914 silverado losing power steering and turning off when I place the car in reverse to back into a parking spot. The truck has also cut off randomly when turning the steering wheel in a parking lot. The issue is not constant thus hard to diagnose. I have taken the truck to chevy twice and the mechanics were not able to recreate the issue.
While driving stabilitrack light comes on all electrical flickers while driving, also shuts off while driving which is dangerous and can be fatal.
I was slowing down to make a right turn, I didn't have to come to a complete stop but when the vehicle got below 15mph or so. The steering locked up. And it acted like I had turned the vehicle off. All of the lights went off, inside and out. And the vehicle died. Luckily it didn't cause an accident and it did start up and I was able to get it home but since then the lights flicker and the touch screen radio goes black and won't do anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And the steering feels like one minute you have power steering and the next you don't now.
The paint on the top cab is peeling and the door locks stick all the time.
Truck flashed service stbilitrak and then shut off while driving and shot right and made me go up and over a curb at 35 MPH. Scanner says voltage lost in bcm and now it says to service the trailer brake system with no trailer hooked up.
When I am turning, my vehicle loses power and or dies. If my emergency lights are on it causes my AC to turn so low it almost doesn't work and other electrical problems. I was almost hit in an intersection because my vehicle died due to loss of power when I was turning.
It started with the truck losing power when making slow speed turns into driveway/parking spot which includes loss of power steering which has caused me to almost crash several times. The power used to come back up but now it is resulting in the truck just turning itself off mid turn and not just on slow turns. It happened when I was making a turn onto a street and I was forced to muscle the truck off the side of the road- no power at all so no power steering-going about 10-15 MPH. When driving with cruise control on if you use the turn signal it kicks off the cruise control. The AC will just stop and the truck will just shut off. The whole time all/any of this is happening my dash is telling me stability control is off, steering assist of off drive with care....if the dash has any power that is. The trailer brake system flashes like I am using the brakes when I am sitting in the truck door open, key out. I have unplugged that thinking it was the problem but it didn't change anything. At times it is completely random that all power almost bottoms out and comes back moments later. There is definitely something wrong and as see I am not the only one having these same issues...should investigate and offer recall and get these trucks fixed before someone does crash. My truck only has 53,300 miles on it and it has a new battery and we have checked the alternator. The date below would be when I almost crashed turning the corner and truck died.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while having a routine oil change the contact informed the mechanic that there was an AC failure due to it letting out hot air instead of cool air. The contact was informed that the vehicle's condenser detached. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (mercedes-benz of caldwell address: 1220 bloomfield ave, west caldwell, nj 07006; phone: (973) 227-3600) from the well joint causing a leak with the vehicle. The vehicle's condenser needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case regarding the issue. The contact was then referred to the federal safety agency to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 57,657.
It started out as the truck losing all power when entering the truck . No power to the dash or ignition. Then power would return out of nowhere. Lately the truck will lose all power while the truck is running sitting still and moving down the highway. Engine will stay running but no dash no A/C and when the dash returns stabitrac notification is on the screen . Today the truck did this 11 times in 1 hour and even lost steering control while driving down a large highway. While on the side of the highway with the hazards on the dash, controls and A/C intermittently flicked for a full 2 minutes
Stabililock light comes on. Trailer braking system comes on. Loss of dashboard lights. Lights go dim. Truck shuts off while moving. Won't start sometimes and yes it has a new battery. It has shut off on me about 5 times so far while driving on highway. Started about 3 months ago.
When on highway, when turn signal is engaged the cruise control turns off. Also at low speed, AC will turn off, brake stability warning appears and power steering goes off.
The driver side rear cab door lock will not lock using the key fob. It remains unlocked, when all other doors are locked. The lock on the door has to be manually be depressed in order to keep door. The same door does not unlock using the key fob.
While driving the truck at approximately 40 MPH, the truck turned off and all electrical systems were disabled. Hazard lights were off and all other equipment including door lock and unlock were disabled. Electric steering turned off. This was a deadly malfunction and has happened twice now.
Our truck will shut off while driving down the road. The radio and air will turnoff first then the truck will shut right off. It is scary when you are towing and going right along on the highway when it turns off. Someone it's going to get killed before anything it's done. We had the recall done but it did not resolve the problem. The company does not care because I have complain about this problem before and nothing was done. Drivers beware and stay safe!
While driving vehicle ( in motion) the door locks begin to activate uncontrollably, the power will drop off and the transmission will not engage. The vehicle must be put in park and then changed into drive again before it will move; may take more than ocean. No warning prior to issue starting and can happen at any time.
Warning lights came on for steering assist while driving down the highway. At this time, the air conditioning and radio turned off, but the engine remained running. Dismissing the alert returned the A/C and radio, and the truck continued running. A few minutes later, an alert popped up for stabilitrack, the A/C turned off, and the engine shut off, all while moving. I lost my brakes, was still able to steer, and had to use the emergency brake to come to a stop. This is extremely dangerous. There are people all over the internet talking about grounding issues related to this, and it's not uncommon. Why is there not a recall for this?
When driving with the cruise control on at approximately between 55-70 MPH the dash flickers and the truck will occasionally will turn off completely for approximately 1 second and then come right back on. This problem will occur also if you tap the brakes after this happens. Upon parking the truck the flickering of the dash can occur more mildly by engaging the brake, turn signals, or high beams. Seems impossible to use the cruise and turn signals to change lanes without this happening. Stability trak error comes up when the truck turns completely off. It has once said something about steering assist going off or something like that.
While driving the vehicle intermittently shuts down and sometimes even restarts, tends to happen at low speeds. Chevrolet ( gm) has disavowed any knowledge that this happens, even though there are 1100 plus google pages about it.
While driving at a low rate of speed, my vehicle has completely shut off. After putting the truck in park and restarting, it drove fine. This has happened several times now. Once I pulled into our driveway and while waiting for the garage door to open, it shut off momentarily and then restarted on its own. Now it is shutting off and not restarting. The power steering is also gone when this happens. This is incredibly dangerous at intersections. We've called the dealership but they said they weren't aware of any issues. This started occurring around 85,000 miles.
While driving vehicle on city street, going straight or turning, voltage will go down and result in the truck cutting out (radio) lights flicker (headlights and dash lights) and service stabitrak will come on dash then the airbag light will come on. With final result of having surges of power steering with voltage drops. Resulting in almost a head on collision. Pulled over and shut the truck off for a minute then it will be fine. Took to local chevrolet dealership, they 'visually checked' all engine grounds, battery terminals, starter wire, alternator wire, and power steering wires. Everything checked out good. It did throw 13 dtc's related to low voltage. Haven't had a problem in 7,000 miles and now it is starting again. I am uncertain of the faulty issue, and so is my local dealership. But, they wanna 'try' all kinds of different things at my expense, which I think is wrong. There are recalls for the same year of truck with the same issues.
