2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: ball joint or control arm failure

Filed Sep 30, 2025 · Steering · TX

Electric power steering failure due to tie rod bellows failure, this is an incredibly dangerous and irresponsible engineering design, moisture entered the electric motor causing it to fail, my wife's failed at highway speeds and almost caused a wreck, she could have been killed, if I could afford to sue I would, our other vehicle is down and we are forced to drive this dangerous vehicle putting us and others in harms way, this is terrible and absurd.

Control arms completely snapped on both sides of truck. One broke when backing into a parking space and the other I noticed a crack about 6 months after the first broke completely.

On 7.3.2019, I was backing into a parking space when a loud noise occurred. I got out and my truck was sitting on the ground as my front driver side tire was broke off and resting on the ground. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest chevy dealer and was told the control arm had failed causing my tire to break off. August 8th, this happened again but on the passenger side. Thankfully this happened at my home when pulling into the driveway. I am not sure how this has not been recalled seeing as this is obviously faulty control arms on both sides of the truck. This could have been a catrastophe had I been on traveling at higher rates of speed. This is an expensive repair and is quite ridiculous seeing as the truck is not that old. I am hoping that chevy will make this right before others with the same issue are injured. I can also provide pictures of both incidents

The steering binds up especially at low speeds, and at times an audible clunk can be heard when turning left. It has been determined that the steering rack & pinion unit failed where the passenger side inner tie rod connects to the gear.
