Page 14 of 15: complaints 371 to 400 of 408, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was on my way back from lunch drove to my normal parking place vehicle in drive foot on brake I straightened the wheel slightly and the steering wheel started turning violently one direction, I turned it back to center and it turned violently the other direction, once again I straightened out the wheel and it turned violently the opposite direction and it tripped a stabiltrak light on the dash and quit. I took it immediately to the gunn chevrolet in san antonio texas 210‑599‑5000 and a call filed with chevrolet and recorded twice they are saying that there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. I am deeply concerned about this as this is huge for a vehicle to start steering itself for if this would have been at highway speeds this would have been catastrophic in nature not only to me, my family also those in the public on the highway. I have been on the line with gm and to no avail they are saying the car is safe, but I worry that they are putting money over safety.
I have had this issue quite a few times and only a few times able to get videos and pictures of what messages come up on the dash board. On the street going about 30mph turning right the stirring wheel locked up on me and I was close to colliding with a truck on the opposite lane due to the fact that I basically lost control of my vehicle I just put the truck on parking and the lights on the dash,radio,va all flickered and suddenly the truck shut off I turned it back on and drove and did not have an issue other then messages on the dash telling me to drive safe steering assist off and service stabilitrac. The times before I didn't get pictures but I'm concerned about my family's safety things could of got worst and the dealership doesn't seem to "find the code for the issue" which I find ridiculous with some much and an es technology everything should be able to get diagnoses at the dealership.
2014 chevrolet silverado. Consumer writes in regards to unsatisfactory repair work on recall 16v‑208 created another hazardous situation- foreign objects can fall into the gap and jam the seat belt mechanism.
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!!!!!!!!
While driving under normal conditions the steering wheel will randomly kick back against you as you are turning it and you will not be able to control the vehicle. This does not happen all the time but has happened to me in may, june and september 2016. All three times it was towed to a dealership and attempts were made to repair it. The problem came back all except the last time as I have not taken the vehicle back and it is still sitting at gunn chevrolet in selma texas.
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.
Steering rack makes popping clunking sound . Steering sometimes binds and is hard to turn dealer says steering rack is that blame and it's been a well known problem for these trucks and no recall has been made? What happens when the rack falls at 65 MPH on the interstate? I believe they should fix or replace the rack.
Loud clicking noise when turning the steering wheel, in motion or in park. The clicking noise is constant and gets louder once the truck has warmed up. Http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/157451-steering-wheel-clicking/
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.
The truck at low speeds you can here the steering make popping sounds when turning and occasionally it would be extremely loud like something snapped off. Took it to dealership and they said that the power steering had a bad bushing and had to replace the rack and pinion and steering gear box. This was at 19000 miles. Now the truck is doing the same thing again
Vibration coming back through steering wheel at speeds in excess of 60 MPH. Did research on internet and see many customers are experiencing same issue with no gm resolution and gm apparently trying to say it is normal. Had tires and wheels forced balanced 7/29/2016 which did not resolve issue. Gm is aware of the complaint on my vehicle; ref: claim 8-2177021918.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving at a low speed and making a turn, a popping noise emitted from the steering column. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tie rod needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer issued a recall for certain other model vehicles per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v246000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Power steering problems. Locks up when turning right or left and grinding sounds. Dealership has us replace a part in steering column problem never stopped. Tie rod causing the gear box to go out.
After driving through a car was, the electric power steering failed while driving. I tried to turn and was unable to turn the steering wheel consequently I hit a pedestrian who was standing in front of the car. No police report was filed.
While driving about 30 MPH. Turned the indicator and was going to turn right into a side street.. A warning appeared on my dash "power steering need service". Lost power steering and was lucky to stop before the turning and not hit a car on the side street.
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.
When the below messages are received, steering the vehicle is extremely difficult, the steering wheel thrashes back and forth (when at slower speeds - I.e. Attempting to park) and usually enters a "low power mode" where you can't accelerate, steer or about anything. In all cases, turning off the vehicle and restarting seems to return to normal until it happens again. 9/6/15: while making a turn, received a "stabilitrak off" and "power steering assist reduces drive with care" 9/8/15; received the above two messages plus "service 4wd" - 9/10/15 dealer replaced the transfer case actuator per tsb 9/14/15: received stabilitrak and pwr steering messages when attempting to park the truck -- dealer stated love voltage codes present, so they charged the batter and returned the truck to me. 9/16/15: had the steering wheel thrashing when backing into my driveway, but no messages 9/24/15: while on the highway (lucky traffic was slow) received the stabilitrak (twice) and pwr steering messages, so I exited to take side streets home. When making a left turn received the stabilitrak and pwr steering message, the low power mode and thrashing steering. This occurrence was in traffic and dangerous. Currently at dealer, they state they are replacing both positive and negative cables and rerouted a wire that may have been rubbing the frame. Note: there is a recall on the 2015 models for the electric power steering (eps) gm # 14743 -- same symptoms...
I purchased the vehicle, brand new in may of 2014. The first malfunction of the vehicle was june 19 2014. The steering wheel, ignition, and cylinder remained locked and I was restrained from starting vehicle I contacted chevrolet roadside assistance in which they were no assistance.I was able to start car after aprox 30min. The second malfunction was in march 2015. My truck turned off while driving on the freeway in the fast lane causing loss of power steering, speed and all functions of the vehicle. Onstar and highway patrol were contacted and highway patrol assisted in pushing vehicle to the shoulder. The third incident was july 30. Immediately after taking my truck into paradise chevrolet for an oil change. A gas attendee noticed I was leaking oil. The oil cap had not been tightened causing oil leakage. The most recent event was august 11,2015. My vehicle turned off once again while being driven on the highway with my husband and five month old daughter in it, causing loss of power steering,speed and all functions of the truck. The vehicle did restart aprox.20min after.however, when restarted the truck made a noticeably shakey motion. Both events in which the vehicle turned off while driving were followed shortly after paradise chevrolet of ventura ca "upgraded software", without my knowledge. Both times I went in for an oil change and I was informed after the fact that they had upgraded software/ preformed a "recall".
When driving truck on interstate I notice a vibration in the front steering and wheels once the truck goes over 65 miles per hour. This was doing it just after 1000 miles.. When the rotated tires when truck was serviced . The issue is still there
Since about 15000-18000 miles this truck vibrates at most speeds, most noticeable at 65 MPH and over. It is at the dealer for the second time. The first time all they did was balance the tires, but the problem didn't go away. The dealer is still scratching their heads on this. The loaner 2015 I have is worse and vibrates at all speeds.....
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.
When truck reaches speed of 70 MPH or higher there is a vibration in the steering. It feels like the left front wheel has problems. Dealer balanced the tires and said it fixed the problem. The problem has not gone away.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the driveshaft and steering column was repaired twice.

The vehicle also had a vibration coming from the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was given two sets of new tires and both sets failed. The failures occurred ever since the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 17,000. Updated 7/29/15*cn updated 10/06/2017
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 at highway speeds my truck lost it's power steering. An alert popped up to drive with caution service power steering. It took all the strength I had to keep my truck on the road as this incident occurred as I was approaching a curve in the road. There was no warning just instant loss of steering. I had my whole family with me. I am afraid to drive my vehicle now. I have read online in multiple forums that this has happened with quite a great frequency in 2014 silverados.
Prior to this incident my truck had 6 recalls. Almost all of the recalls have been for ?software? Issues. The latest problem is what I am writing to you about and I believe is an extremely dangerous situation and if it happens to someone who is not physically capable of handling it, it could easily be fatal to one or more individuals. What happened to me is as follows: the day before christmas eve I drove to the local supermarket to pick up some last minute stuff and after leaving the store I pulled out onto a busy 4 lane highway and began to turn left. Part way into the turn I heard a ?clunk? In the front engine compartment and immediately the power steering stopped working. The steering wheel was wrenched out of my hands and I was forced to brake sharply. I was, obviously taken by surprise by the incident and grabbed the wheel with both hands and wrestled the 6,000 lb truck around the turn, running over the curb on the far side of the road. I am a reasonably fit 6?4? 225 lb male and I must tell you that it was all that I could do to turn the wheel and prevent me from running straight through the intersection. My dealership was 4 miles from me and I was able to negotiate my way there without any accidents or injuries. I got the truck there and told the service people what happened and they said have a seat in the waiting room and they would look at it. 25 minutes later a rep came out and said it was fixed. Another software adjustment was made. Yesterday, jan 5 the same problem occurred and this time I almost had a head on collision with another vehicle. Once again I was close to my dealer and was able to drop the truck off in their lot. They are closed on sunday so I called them today and I am waiting for them to ?fix? It again. I am almost afraid to drive the vehicle after this latest incident. Updated 03/04/15*lj updated 10/8/2015
