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.
I was on my way home from work and traveling between 70-75. The engine began to feel rough. The check engine light was blinking and the traction control light was on. I exited the freeway and called the dealership. They said that it was safe to drive it to them. The engine idled roughly as if it wasn't getting air or gas and would die. As I drove to the dealership it shifted roughly, would only go 55, was shaking violently, and had significant loss of power. The technician said the code was for a miss fire on plug 6. They checked to see if the plug or wires had become loose. They thought it was a valve spring and later decided it was a bent push rod and have disassembled the head to inspect further. They are contacting the engineering dept. At gm to find out what would cause this issue. This is our second truck this year. Our first was a 2014 silverado 1500 2x4, purchased in may w/ 4000 miles, rolled down a hill on july 26th and crashed into another car while unoccupied, locked and in park. Gm was "unable to find anything wrong", and closed our case. The dealership was very helpful and this is our replacement truck. We took a loss but upgraded to the 4x4 because they had already been covered in the recall of june 27, 2014 "in effected vehicles, an electrical signal short may cause the transfer case to shift to neutral with out the driver's input." we haven't even made our first payment.
I was driving on the highway at 55mph when I noticed the engine malfunction light came on and shortly after began to flash and the engine was running rough like a fouled out plug, so I was close to my home but before I got there the truck was running even rougher and the transmission shifted very hard also. I called the dealer and they told me not to drive it have it towed via chevys 2 year road assistance, so I called and after waiting and calling back 5 times I called my own tow service and got it into the dealer. They said a code for engine misfire cylinder # 5 and replaced bad wire with a new one. On my ticket it says bulletin pip5159. The mechanic told me usually these plug wires had been failing on trucks with less miles then mine. So I asked if the other wires could fail and he said yes-so be aware and ready for more to fail.
When driving at highway speeds between 72 MPH +, the vehicle will vibrate very badly to the point where you can not drive so fast. It comes and goes and when it comes back sometimes even at reduced speeds of 65mph the vehicle still vibrates very bad. I have informed gm of my issue and my local dealership and they choose not to do anything. Really, because they don't know what it is. The vibration is so bad that it can numb your body by the end of your drive or distract you enough to crash. I drive up to 9 hours with my vehicle for work and it is very uncomfortable. I am filing this complaint to see if I can get help to stop this issue from happening. A lot of people are also having this problem and from my understanding, gm is ignoring them as well.
Picked up new silverado with 150 or so miles on wednesday 4/16/14. Drove about 20 miles on thursday and friday truck wouldn't start. Everything lights up on the dashboard and electronics work but will not turn over to start. Totally dead. Dealer had me call chevy roadside and they had it towed to dealer. Dealer replaced some fuse box parts and brought truck back on following wednesday 4/23. Happened again 2 days later and dealer came back and picked this up. The dealer has had the truck for a full week with no commitment to when it will be ready or guarantee it would not happen again. Currently dealer working with chevy engineers to troubleshoot problem. This is the first instance this dealer has heard about this happening.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that black smoke was being emitted from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was serviced under the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v007000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the failure would still occur when the vehicle had been idle for long periods of time. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing but the dealer stated that unless the warning light was illuminated, they were unable to diagnose the vehicle. The manufacture was contacted and stated that since the occurrence was normal for a newer vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 1000. The current mileage was 33,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact started the vehicle and when the gear lever was shifted into reverse the engine became inoperable. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and resume driving normally. The failure recurred intermittently in the reverse position. The vehicle was taken to two dealers for inspection. The technician at both dealers were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200.
I purchased the 2014 silverado 1500 while it was raining. Test drive was fine, but the sales person already had the vehicle running with the defroster and wipers on. Drove home (2 miles) and parked. Turned on the fan knob ( standard with A/C model) and the A/C turned on, this occurred nearly every time I turned it on and asked the dealer service center about it. I was told I am probably hitting it with my knuckles. I since tried only while pinching the knob to avoid this and the A/C still nearly turns on every time. Also when the truck sits a while the first start is a hard one but after running and warmed up it will be fine to start. Not sure if the truck battery needs a charge after sitting on the lot, I could also smell a rubber burning odor outside and through the vents, thought it was because it was new but then I seen there was a recall 3 days prior. When I tried anchoring my sons child seat I found no seat anchors in the center rear seat and only the ends. I worry about his seat near the door if there is a side crash. Lastly, why isn't there rear sensors at a minimum a mandatory on trucks yet. Cameras can still be offered as a option but sensors should be mandatory!
