Fuel pump/fuel pressure sensor failure at 34000 miles. Driving vehicle at 40mph and suddenly engine warning light came on and truck died. Lost all power and could barely pull to side of road in busy traffic. Driving on state hwy 15 north bound. Fortunately my wife was able to control the pickup. Dealer repaired and said it was a relatively common problem. Second complaint was wiper failure in heavy snow/wind on county hwy 29 brown cty mn. Fuse block corroded and caused failure. Travelling at 55mph when failure occurred. Managed to drive home (2 miles) with out incident but very dangerous. The part was described by the dealer as the bcm fuse block. Both of these problems were life threatening.

I was traveling up an incline when vehicle started jumping. Engine light came on, as well as stability or skid control and when turning on turn signal the wipers came on. Did not feel safe but drove to nearest dealership with vehicle jumping and missing out, about 4 blocks. Diagnoses was faulty fuel injector at 4577 miles on vehicle. After picking up vehicle when repair was done it missed out again but no engine light. Dealership could not duplicate the problem. Hope this isn't going to be ongoing issue.

Was towing a trailer, stopped and filled up with gas. As leaving the gas station, dash lights dimmed and brightened on their own, then washer pump started squirting fluid without wiper blades moving. Washer pump continued squirting till the reservoir was empty and burned the pump. Afterwards, all interior lights stopped working, except for the dash lights. Also, lost all parking, head lamps, turn signal and brake lights on the 2014 silverado 1500, except for high mount stop lamp, which was stuck on bright, as if brake pedal was depressed. Upon reading owners manual, there is a reference to loosing lights under "electrical overload". All electronics being used was factory installed, other than the trailer that was being pulled. Upon taking it to the dealership for repair, they could not determine what caused the issue. They replaced a body control module. One week after getting the truck back from the dealership, the dash lights have dimmed and brightened on their own again, therefore, I am afraid to hook my trailer back up in fear of loosing all my lights again, or worse, driving and all of the sudden, washer pump starts squirting fluid and getting into an accident. After talking to gm directly, they cannot provide an answer to what happened or why they would reference the "loosing lights under electrical overload" in the owners manual, because of a known defect or issue that would hinder their profits.

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!
