My air conditioning continues to go out and leak out the fluids, I have had the system checked and a leak could not be found. I live in AZ.and need cooling while using my vehicle. The lack of cooling causes me to get over heated and even causes me to become physically ill, I should have a good working system, I have research and all 2014 Chevy Silverado have the same problem. Clearly this is a problem that the manufacturer is aware of and dealers don't have any replacement parts.I become I'll everytime I have to use my truck, its 112 degrees in AZ and I don't have ac...

In motion and at low speed, the vehicle stalls out when idling into a tight turn, like a parking lot or space. it hasn't always cut totally off. Usually the 'stability trac' light comes on with the failure, but some times it just cuts off, and when I crank it restarts right up.

The ac has randomly stopped working. Proper maintenance has been given to this truck. It is not the compressor as the compressor still turns on. Tried recharging it with freon. Many, many websites have described the problem coming from the ac lines and how it was designed by GM. If it is a design flaw, no matter how many times we fix it and spend, it will keep going on. GM needs to be responsible and fix this issue

Hello I own a 2014 Silverado and the A/C gave out at 67K miles on it. I know this issue is dealt with anyone in the United States with any GM truck from 2014-2015, GM themselves has said to people when they fix their trucks that it was a design flaw.yet there is not tsb or recall for the millions of people that paid 50K+ for a truck. I just want a repair of the A/C because people need the A/C to work on hot summer days, people can have health complications because of it thank you.

2014 Chevy Silverado ltz 157479 miles just drive short distances but my truck has slipped gears, delays changing gears and none responding shift when in complete stop. When driving uphill truck shift from second gear to fourth gear not going back to any other gear forcing me to stop complete to start all over and hopefully making the hill but usually don?T work. I brought this issue to GM dealership and they gave me the run around and now the only thing they can do is give $200 off for a new transmission giving me the rest to payoff a issue that has in most of this truck. Is very unsafe to drive and it looks that GM got away with all this engineering issue leaving people like me with the problem and on top make more profit on their own mistakes. So please help me and others to make sure GM fix our transmission problems.

The ac condenser in this truck failed right after the extended warranty ended, like in many other GM trucks in the years 2014-17. With very little research it is known to be a poorly welded ac condenser which destine to fail. This is a serious safety issue, and should be considered to be a recall for these trucks and other vehicles losing ac. Without proper functioning ac, I can not filter air coming in the vehicle which is a necessity to operate the vehicle. I can't filter out fire smoke which is abundant in ca every fire season, vehicle windows must be up and N95 masks are required when exposed to the smoke. I can't filter out corona virus, which is the new normal, masks are required to be warn at all times outside. I can't filter out anything in the air that requires me to roll up the windows; smog, exhaust form a close vehicle, etc... when it is hot outside the vehicle becomes death trap, the temperature gets to unsafe levels and the operator has not choice but to expose the passenger to the elements which these days is a health and safety issue, and it is only going to get worse. Ac is not a luxury anymore, filtering temperature appropriate air is a necessity, and required for safe handling of the vehicle.

Paint on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is chipping or flaking off for reasons other than natural causes. The vehicle is garage kept and has only 55,000 miles on it. The paint should in no way be failing with a vehicle this new and this expensive. As you will see in the photos the paint not sticking is in areas that do not incur damage from everyday driving. I have contacted the dealership and GM manufacturer and both have told me that paint is not their problem. When I do a quick google search for "2014 Silverado paint, " there are 100S of forums with 1000S of comments with the same issue. One of the first pictures I came to when I searched, showed the same vehicle with paint gone in the exact same spots. After talking with the dealership and manufacturer numerous times, I felt this was one of my last resorts. The manufacturer laughed me off and said NHTSA would pay no attention as paint isnt a safety concern. Someone has to make this right without me having to spend thousands to repaint. It's a clear manufacturer defect and they should be held accountable by all standards. The cost of their vehicles being so high, all parts should last for more than 55000 miles, including the paint. Again, this vehicle is garage kept and loses paint just by driving with a breeze out. Aside from the 2 photos attached, I'm also losing paint around the windshield and low on the door panels.

The wax coating to prevent rust on the truck's frame is falling off. The frame has a major rust problem; the truck having a low mileage of 25,801 at the time I filed a complaint with Chevy case #9-559725037 and #9-5593674272. The truck was examined at balise Chevrolet of springfield MA. Phone #413-734-6498, fax #413-734-4421 where they took photos of the problem. Balise advised me it would cost $1200 to fix this rust problem. Balise assigned a repair order #667705 and contacted GM. GM advised the dealership they would not cover any of the costs, even though this is known problem to GM in the manufacturing of Chevy pick-up trucks from 2014 to 2018. I discovered the frame rust only by chance when my truck was on a lift for a flat tire repair while at another dealership. I looked into the internet and found numerous complaints for Chevy truck frame rust, (NHTSA #S P10564D and P10564H, tsb # 14002A, NHTSA id # 10067212) and a manufacturer communication # sb-144002A. It is my belief the rust frame problem should be corrected by GM/Chevy because it is a manufacturing defect known to the company. GM/Chevy should have sent out a recall on this hidden defect, long before I discovered it by chance and my 3 year warranty had expired. Please note the low mileage of my truck is under the 36,000 mile warranty.

The engine braking comes across the dash at between speeds 50 and 55 when following another vehicle by pressing on the brakes 3 times. After that everytime I step on the brake pedal the transmission downshifts all the way to first gear.so don't push on your brake pedal more than 3 times or you will be in first gear. Also I want include that this is a work truck 2 in the standard cab

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

We started having a problem with our air condition for 3 months now, it just blows warm air. We tried taking it to the dealer but was told that it was not covered with the warranty. We found out that there was a leak in the condenser. I've found out that there was so much people complaining with the same issue & with the same vehicle. Whether the car was running or stationary or in which road it was going the air conditioner does not work at all it was just blowing hot air.

Compressor for air conditioning seized up and caused the belt to brake the condenser was also heavily leaking. First comment out of the service managers mouth was this is a very common problem with Silverado and Sierra. Don't know why the SUV were recalled and the trucks were not. With only 30000 miles it is very unacceptable
