2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 steering complaints
Page 9 of 15: complaints 221 to 250 of 408, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Complete loss of electrical power, power steering, air bags, ABS, traction control, and stereo. Had to have vehicle jump started to make to home.
Power steering fails when going slow and trying to turn. The voltage indicator goes way down into minus, then goes back to normal. Dealer said it was rack and pinion. They replaced it and it failed again two days later. I believe the electric steering piwer assist system is at fault.
About 1 week ago I took my vehicle in for service for an unrelated issue. While it was there, they performed the power steering safety recall. After going to town on february 24th I started my truck to return home and the dic showed a message which said, 'service power steering, drive with care.' I now have no power steering and it is extremely dangerous to operate the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the steering icon flashed and a lock indicator displayed. Also, the brake light flashed and various unknown warning indicators flickered on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the steering seized when the steering wheel was turned to the left. In addition, the brakes failed to function properly and excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Team lake road auto sales (13988 conneaut lake rd, conneaut lake, pa 16316, (814) 382-9336) was notified of the failures and kept the vehicle for over three weeks. A loaner vehicle was provided. The contact had not received any specific technical guidelines regarding diagnosis and repairs. The dealer released the vehicle back to the owner and the failures recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and a second loaner vehicle was provided; however, the vehicle was returned without being repaired. The dealer indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced before it was purchased per the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). The contact informed the dealer several times that the remedy failed, but did not receive any recourse. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: pe18012 (service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). The manufacturer had not issued any brake system recalls for this year, make, and model vehicle and the VIN was not included in the four electrical system recalls and two steering recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. The failure mileage was not available.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel failed and was difficult to control. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing the same failure as listed in the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 72,000.
When driving truck and turning the steering gets hard and takes a few seconds to control it again. Also when I turn left or right driving slow the power steering gets hard and causes stereo screen to turn off for a few seconds, and causes headlights to dim. Also the interior lights and dash lights dim. It's very unsafe when turning, can almost lose complete control for steering jerking. Not only does this happen when vehicle is in motion but also when truck is stationary.
: the power steering system temporarily fail without warning during operation, causing the amount of effort needed to turn the wheel to fluctuate dramatically during the maneuver as the power steering system cycles on and off. The issue is especially prevalent during low-speed maneuvers and can be accompanied by the failure of other systems such as the radio, stability control, door-lock cycling, air condition or cruise control. This happens randomly, when I'm parking or making a turn. I almost crashed into a vehicle in mid turn as I lost power steering and the vehicle shut off. I put it in park and restarted the truck.
The powers steering goes out when pulling into a parking space . The car has completely turned off while waiting to make a left turn , seems to be effected by turning the blinkers on ? , it's like there is a complete glitch in the electrical system ? The electric dash comes on and off & yesterday the truck would not start .... I tried it multiple times and finial after 15 minutes it turned over and no more issues yesterday .
Truck shifts bad, almost like the gears are slipping usually seems to happen around 3rd-4th gear. The truck also vibrates at 35 MPH up to highway speeds. This all happens when driving.
Stabilitrak light kicks on and off, steering wheel locks up and shudders when turning at low speeds, headlights and dashlights blink like the trucks about to lose power. Searching online it looks like there is a device bulletin that fixes these issues, but I shouldnt have to pay for a safety and common issue with this truck. Pit5405a is the bulletin number.
Headlights flicker, radio head unit flickers, error messages (service stablitrak, traction control off, reduced steering assist) doors occasionally will lock and unlock and then truck will shut off all together. Steering wheel randomly jerk out of your hands. Somebody will end up dead if this issue is not fixed, and recalled. Very common through my research in 2014 silverados/sierra's.
Knock in steering when making left turns. Rack and pinion has a knock
My steering wheel is hard to move and the A/C does not work
Power steering stopped working as I was driving. Then power steering would work then go out again.
Having issues with power steering going out lights flickering dash lights flickering cruse control turning off bluetooth shutting off stabletrac coming up on dash and other problems flashing on and off had my head lights go off and on
The power steering message claiming the the traction was unstable, assistance required. Then when truck was in motion and was maki g a turn the truck lost all power. This has happened 3 times.
Life threathing steering issue: 2014 silverado while driving and with no warning the steering wheel jerks violently and the vehicle becomes uncontrollable, even with the strongest grip of the steering wheel. This usually occurs during turning at the most inopportune time. The stabilitrak light comes on only after the issue arises thus no warning before this happens . I have documented this occurring by video and other 2014 silverado owners have also. Check out youtube and see for yourself, search: 2014 silverado stabilitrak problems. I find it unbelievable the federal safety agency has not forced gm to do something, the drivers of this vehicle (and similar gm products with the same reported issue) and other motorist face severe injury or death. Gm is aware of this issue and attributes it to many components: ground cables, batteries, grounding lugs, bcm, electrical system low voltage.....on and on. Again check out the gm-trucks.com website and confirm from other owners postings. I've repaired / replaced the: battery, cut the material out from under the g218 grounding lug, new battery cables, there is even a tsb pit5405a, all to no avail. There is no exact solution that I or the gm repair shops (so I've been told by my local dealer) can definitively put an answer to, so the poor consumer is left with a life threatening issue forced to get rid of the vehicle and never trust your life being in one or being on the road around one of them. The federal safety agency please make gm take responsibility and remedy this issue!!!!!!!
Loss of steering and power dealership has performed recall 17276 reprograming power steering control module twice and this has not fixed problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, a sudden chime sounded. Next, the power steering and power brakes suddenly malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. Also, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and an unknown dealer were notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 54,000. The VIN was unknown.
My truck has lost power 3 times while driving. Fortunately no accidents have happened as a result, but I no longer feel safe in the vehicle. First occurrence, I was in motion backing into my driveway. Second occurrence, I was leaving my neighborhood and turning right when I lost all power and drifted into traffic. Third occurrence, I was turning right into my neighborhood and ended up on my neighbors front lawn. I took it to a local chevrolet dealership for repairs, and the problem persists. They made 3 attempts at fixing, I paid each time, and nothing has been repaired.
Takata recall - 2014 chevy silverado ltz about 6 months ago now, I have been having this problem and now I have had enough! When turning on a low speed the steering wheel locks and seems to bounce back. I don't know what causes this. It use to happen maybe 1-2 times every month while parking in my drive way. Use to be always in my driveway only. And now that thanksgiving passed and I was doing some shopping with my kids; from 11/22/18-now 11/25/18, it has locked on me about 15 times! Once turning left on a green light on a busy city street, it locked and wouldn't turn was going straight with my kids inside and my wife driving! Another time parking at store parking lots with cars in front and behind me! And just now 7:26 p.m. It locked 5 times while parking! I took it to get it checked out back in august I believe and all they told me was nothing is wrong. I can not keep driving this or having my wife drive my kids and risk loosing them! You need to fix this now! Please! I believe there is a recall going arround; I believe the recall number is 17v414000 a lot of what it says sounds exactly what happens to my truck.
I started my truck and while in a parked position the dashboard displays a message regarding power-steering has been reduced, please drive with caution. I googled it and notice that my particular model has a known issue and re-called. I called chevrolet customer service and they said since my VIN # has no open recalls, they couldn't assist and that I have the option to take it to a service shop and pay out of pocket to fix. It is frustrating that with all the information online I couldn't get any help on this matter.
My headlights are flickering. When steering, headlights dim. When using turn signals, headlights dim. Power steering randomly cuts out in parking lots. Trailer brake service warning came up on instrument screen. I read ground g218 is causing a short and I removed the insulation under the nut that could cause high resistance and it fixed everything for about 3 weeks but the lights and steering problem is still happening. Dealer thought maybe trailer brake control system but I did not have them replace, instead found g218 issues online. No open recalls. Sounds similar to other complaints. No codes. No issue with battery or alternator.
At start up the radio and info screen on dash between the RPM and speedometer was reset as if the negative battery cable was removed and replaced. The power steering died out later on a turn onto my block and was on and off as it jerked out of my hands while parallel parking. Start up the next day and the reset was back with the wheel free to turn for now. I haven't moved the truck for fear of the steering going out again. Truck has 44,450 miles.
Recall # 17276 for low voltage steering. Our vehicle has an extremely dangerous safety problem. When the steering wheel is turned quickly, the steering is extremely stiff, the headlights dim, and the engine shuts off. This is life threatening when making a turn across oncoming traffic lanes. We took the truck to a chevrolet dealership for the recall # 17276 for low voltage steering. They reprogrammed the steering system. This did not resolve the problem. We have taken the truck back to the dealership 3 additional times now for this issue. The dealership has opened a case with gm, and gm has recommended many things, all at my cost that have not resolved the safety problem. I feel that gm is using me as a crash test dummy. I sent an e mail request to gm documenting this issue. Gm replied that they will only work by telephone they ask to record the call but will not allow the customer to do the same. They have refused to read or reply to my documented request for help. Please contact me for any details or questions, I desperately need help on this. Thank you,
Vehicle looses power when turning, radio screen flashes on/off, stabilitrak error displays on screen, total loss of power to vehicle while on the road while driving while in motion. This specific VIN# was involved in a recall for the exact issue last year and was repaired but is still functioning as per manufacturer agreement. This vehicle is unsafe to be on the road as is. Took it back to autonation gulf fwy to get a diagnostic they claimed it was the neg batt terminal, I got that fixed still having the same issue. Gm nor chevy want to help with this issue. I guess they are waiting for someone to die before they take this issue seriously . I don't see paying for all the repairs out of pocket if I just bought this vehicle aug 28, 2018 and was never informed that it had been involved in a recall.
I recently purchased a 2014 chevy silverado ltz used at a dealership here in atlanta, ga. Everything seemed to be fine and I was very pleased with the truck until one day when slowly turning left the power steering shut off, and then caused the truck to stall in incoming traffic. As this is a huge safety concern, I brought my truck to my local jim ellis chevrolet service department in chamblee, ga. They recognized that there was a recall in these trucks for this already and said that they had the issue resolved. This has now happened again three times, most recently this morning at 6:30am on 10/30/18. I have dropped off my truck again at the same dealer, but I fear they will have the same, "unable to re-create" result as last time. On the recall websites I have researched, it seems the recall number is: 17v414000. Please advise, as I am not sure what to do with this issue. I have a baby on the way and would feel unsafe driving my truck with him inside. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
The vehicle was driving around a curve at approximately 45 MPH when the steering locked. The driver is unclear if the breaks worked or not, but he ended up stepping on the gas pedal accidentally. He hit a tree head on and totaled the truck. He noticed the audio system lost the signal from his iphone and began playing the local radio station at the same time. The iphone was connected via an auxiliary cord. The driver is familiar with a loss of power steering and is quite sure the steering locked and was unable to be moved even with considerable effort. The driver was taken to a hospital by ambulance and is lucky to have only minor injuries. Prior to this, recall #17276 was completed on the truck, but after that it did have an electrical incident where all electrical components went haywire, blinking & beeping & turning on & off, then everything went dead, including the steering. The truck was towed to the dealership who replaced the battery & found no other problems. We kept the battery they replaced, had it tested & it was found to be fine. The dealership refunded the cost of the new battery, but offered no solution to the electrical problem.
Truck dies in the middle of the intersection nearly causing an injury. Driver has to get out of the truck in said busy intersection to try to figure out the problem, because truck would not turn on. This is not a battery issue. Research has proven hundreds of other people are having these same issues with this particular truck.truck dies several times a day while turning or pulling into a driveway or parking spot. Electricity glitches when driving down the road if a bump is hit or if the brakes are pressed mildly hard. As for the date below, it happens literally every day. The cause for complaint is the truck died in the middle of a busy intersection nearly causing an accident.
