I had recently purchased the vehicle and was coming back from vegas, going up a hill there was a little bit of traffic I was probably doing 35 to 45 MPH and suddenly I heard a loud thud coming from the rear of the vehicle kind of like when you get rear ended and it did again a few times after that, when I took the truck to the local dealership and I explained to them what had happened and they say that it was new vehicle with a all new drivetrain and it had a 6 speed transmission and it was normal.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission complaints
Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 154 of 154, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving, slowed the vehicle down to start a decent in the road, once vehicle reached level ground, I pushed the accelerator pedal, and vehicle would only rev up, would not got forward, while in drive. This continued until the vehicle was close to 5 MPH, then vehicle started moving as the accelerator pedal was pushed. This has happened on several times, and the dealer states that they cannot duplicate the occurrence. Tried to record the occurrence, but with the constant turning of the steering wheel, makes it hard to record for proof.
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.....
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the driveshaft and steering column was repaired twice. The contact stated that the dealer also had to have the motor mounts replaced. The contact stated that the steering failed again and the vehicle could not be turned. 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
While driving, vehicle would quit pulling, as if in neutral. Happened 3 times in a short period of time on may 10,2015. No warning before losing power to wheels and no warning lights came on the dash.engine was running normal before and after losing power to the wheels. I think this problem would be a serious safety problem if you were pulling out in traffic and loss all power to the drive. I now feel unsafe during the vehicle or taking it on trips. I think you should put a redall on this vehicle s drive train, computer and transmission before people are killed from this problem.
While driving in 4wd 'auto', off pavement in waterfront area, I did not think 4wd was engaging. When I shifted to 4h, the seat immediately clam shelled in and down on me. I reset seat, and noticed mirrors also had moved. A few minutes latter I tried the same maneuver while moving <5 MPH, with the same results. I drove the 20+ miles back home in 4auto, but ready for a surprise shift into 4wd, with the accompanying, dangerous seat position change. It occurred 1 more time, while driving slowly approaching my driveway. I tried to duplicated it a few more times during a 2 week period; no occurrences. The sales people told me to use 4auto as my regualr mode. I decided to try 2h. Now when I go from 2h to 4auto, the seat moves backward in short jolts. Going to 4h or 4l, as directed in the manual, a clam shell effect occurs. I have done it with others in my truck, so they can witness the seat try to devour me. The last time it happened, I left it in the driveway with the seat & mirrors in their final position, so others could get in and see if they thought they could drive in that position. I have not set the set memory, and was very careful to not touch anything but the 4wd control while changing drive modes. As an aside, I noticed others owners had complaints about the seats. My 'safety alert' seat, 'heated and cooled (perforated)', 'front full feature', 'leather appointed buckets' developed a small tear in the lower, middle portion of the seat. I wanted it replaced, and of course, the friendly dealership staff tried to say this was 'normal wear and tear'. This was at less than 500 miles, 350 of which the dealership put on while driving it from another dealer. This truck is used for pleasure only, not work, no tool pouches or in pockets... If it wasn't such a bad example of how customers are treated by some dealerships, it would be laughable. Current millage: 1,711 mi.
Driving through the parking lot when I noticed a loss of power. I looked down at the dashboard and saw the check engine light was on. After calling the dealer, I attempted to drive back home. The truck wouldn't go past second gear. I even tried putting it on manual and shifting myself. Even though the lever was on m, the m itself did not light up and the + - buttons did not work. Thankfully I made it home with the hazards on. This is the second time dealing with this issue. The dealer said it was the transmission control module the first time. Now they are saying it's the speed sensors.
"check engine" light turned on while driving on the expressway. I pulled off the exit ramp and came to a red light. When it turned green, I stepped on the gas and there was little to no power. I pulled into the closest parking lot and turned the vehicle off for a few minutes. Turned it on again and the check engine light was still on. I put the truck in reverse and the power was back to normal. I put it in drive and pulled up to the stop sign without incident. Upon making a right turn, I noticed the rpms were unusually high and the transmission was not shifting higher than maybe 2nd gear. I pulled into the closest parking lot again and called chevrolet tow services and the dealer who sold me the truck as new with 450 miles on the odometer.
While sitting at a traffic light while removing foot from brake pedal vehicle jump forward (as being rear ended) at other times at low speeds while parking vehicle lunges forward. Vehicle acts like transmission is slipping then lunges forward. Took vehicle to dealership and they reported that problems are a normal and are a normal characteristic of vehicle operating as designed. Dealership then gave me a list of service bulletins of past issues that were not part of my original complaint. Vehicle problems started with less than 800 miles now has 1800. Vehicle problem is intermittent.
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.
The vehicle was purchased on august 27th 2014 and had a bad vibration on the drive home. It has a wobble sensation at 35-45 MPH felt strongest at 43 MPH that feels like it has a bent wheel but it doesnt. When you get to 65-70 MPH there is a strong vibration from the truck felt strongest at 68 MPH and it only occurs on smooth level roads and even changing lanes does not change the vibration at all so it is not related to the road conditions other then being flat and smooth. The dealer has made five unsuccessful attempts to fix it already and cannot find the problem and cannot fix the problem and has refused to try to fix it anymore. After researching this issue I have found that one out of five gm trucks (chevy & gmc) have this same issue even though there are not many people reporting this yet. Do not buy or let anyone you know buy a chevy & gmc truck in the 2014 or 2015 years, 1 in 5 are lemons the vibrations are so bad that it will make you car sick after a few miles and can aggravate existing conditions such as people with back issues. This problem also greatly reduces the trade-in or resale value of the vehicle and will make selling it yourself very problematic if not impossible. If you look on youtube you will see people are starting to post some videos to show this vibration problem.
Bought a brand new 2014 chevy silverado 1500. Rear end shakes badly at highway speeds. Feels unsafe. Dealer unable to effectively diagnose and correct. Problem started first day of ownership approx. 10 miles on truck. Problem still uncorrected and have 2400 miles on truck. ( 2 months ).
This truck was purchased at 8 pm on 9/22/2014. When driving on 9/25/2014, the truck vibrated as though I was driving over rumble strips at approximately 40 MPH, 55-75 MPH. In hi-2 mode in drive, the transmission did not shift smoothly, shifting with a mild clunk at lower gears. We called the dealership and described the issues to a service person and made an appointment to bring the truck in for service on 9/29/2014. The dealer stated that the problems were probably due to alignment issues. On 9/28/2014, I drove the truck and experienced the same shifting and vibration issues. I pulled off the freeway near my destination and stopped at a light. When I attempted to accelerate from the stop, the truck would not move and "revved". It had switched into neutral without any input from me. The transmission shift lever still indicated that I was in drive mode. I drifted into the intersection, unable to get the truck to move. I was able to shift into park, then neutral, and then drive. The truck began to drive and then I felt a strong "thunk" that felt as though I had been rear-ended by a car going at least 25 MPH. The truck then drove normally for approximately 150 feet. I had to stop at the light on the other side of the underpass and the same thing happened again, leaving me drifting into an intersection. I was again able to get the truck going after a minute or so, with the same strong "thunk". I called onstar to have the truck towed to the dealership because it is unsafe to drive. On the four other days that we have owned this truck, it was driven only a few miles each day, at low speeds. I am extremely concerned. The truck is unsafe to drive and has less than 300 miles on it. Additionally, some of the issues I have experienced are similar to those addressed by a recall, but this truck's VIN is not listed in the recall.
Backlash was not setup properly from the factory. I had a loud whining noise from the rear end while cruising around 55 MPH. I have had the truck in 4 separate times to fix it. First visit to a dealership refused to work on it. The second dealership replaced the ring and pinion and the axle bearings. This resolved the problem at the original speed but a new sound developed while decelerating from 50 and down to 40. Took the truck back in again and replaced the bearings again. Noise seemed fixed after this fix but the longer I drive it the noise is coming back again at 55 MPH. Dealer refused to work on it again saying that its not loud enough to replace the axle but if it gets louder they will replace the axle. Spoke to the dealer where I bought it from and the service manager said this is the 3rd 2014 truck that the bearings and ring/pinion gears had to be replaced with very low miles and with improper backlash setup from the factory. I have a 2014 silver ado with the 5.3l v8, 3.42 limited slip rear end, 2 wheel drive. I have looked into lemon law for the truck but now the dealer is saying that its not loud enough to justify fixing it again.
This truck has a vibration at different speeds. I was told by dealer that they are having a problem with 2014 chevy trucks with the 6 cylinders. The dealer said they are waiting on a fix from general motors. The 8 cylinders are not having this problem. Is general motors aware of this?
I was towing a trailer utilizing the tow/haul mode, when suddenly the vehicle drastically slowed and the tires squealed and the RPM's went way up. It was like the vehicle suddenly downshifted into low gear by itself.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 3 MPH, the vehicle independently shifted into neutral and the brakes and power steering failed. As a result, the contact crashed the vehicle into a light pole. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries. The contact received a recall notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v374000 (power train) after the crash. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 7,000.
My 2014 chevy silverado 1500, ltz, z71 started to have numerous issues since this past april. The truck has been in the unethical landers mcclarty chevrolet in huntsville, alabama seven times with only the smallest of the issues being fixed. 1st issue was the driver side seat moved when turning left or right. The dealer's service department informed me there was no fix and that the seat was within manufactures specs. The seat moved to the point that the ventilated seat cooler plug disconnected. The service dept eventually "fixed" the seat and reconnected the plug. Lastly the issue I cannot get resolved through gm corporate, dealer service department or the regional gm manager. My truck "shakes" from speeds of 65 MPH and greater. The service dept first told me I needed an alignment and have the tire rotated and balanced. The shake still continued, so I complained again to the service dept. This time I was told that two tires where "bad" do to road force and replaced them. The truck still shakes like a stripper so I emailed the ceo of gm on 11 july and assigned an executive liaison to work the issue. Since then my truck has been in the service department twice. Each time I was called a liar indirectly by the service department manager "[xxx]" and the district manager "[xxx]" after they test drove the truck and couldn't replicate the complaint. I had the service dept foreman "[xxx]" ride along with me as I drove the truck and pointed out the "very" noticeable shake at high way speeds. After numerous phone calls to the service dept, gm corporate, I found out that the service dept can utilize a vibration analyzer on the truck. This has not taken place or even considered. I continue to drive the truck with the shaking becoming worse with each mile. Just like the ignition switch problem, gm down plays the issue and lets the problem compound. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked it rolled down a incline and crashed into another vehicle. There was no injuries or a police report. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,000.
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.
Tl- the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that a notification letter was sent pertaining to the onstar system indicating that there was a transmission recall. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who indicated no action needed to be taken and for the contact to wait until it was time to service the vehicle at 6,000 miles. The vehicle was not inspected nor diagnosed when the contact reported the concern to the authorized dealer. The vehicle was to be inspected, diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000. Dyd
Pulled the truck into the garage and put the truck into park. Turned the vehicle off and the vehicle did not register as it was in park but rather seemed to be in neutral. The truck began to roll backwards. I placed my foot on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and moved the gear shifter to ensure it was indeed in park, it was in park. I turned the vehicle back on and confirmed that the truck was displaying p (park) on the instrument panel.
