I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. About 6 months ago I noticed the AC started to blow warm air. Over the course of a few days it progressively got worse. I picked up some AC refill at the auto store, and that worked for about a week and it was back to blowing hot air again. This happened like I said six months ago and ever since then I have had to purchase the AC charge at least once a week in order to keep it from turning into a comic tweet sauna in my truck. However over the last week the AC charge is no longer holding oh, I brought it into my mechanic and he said that the leak that was causing the issue got bigger and now it doesn't hold the charge and it must be replaced. Luckily my mechanic told me about the recall on Chevy Silverado 1500 trucks from the years 2014 through 2018 due to a bogus AC hose that used. There are thousands of people just like me who came across the same exact problem with their truck. Unfortunately I found out after I was about $700 into the negative as far as having to get it worked on. I am calling GM tomorrow morning and I am going to bring my truck in first thing so they can fix it. I live in South Florida so you can just imagine what my days have been like when the AC is blowing hot air in a 98 degree summer day with 100% humidity! If you want some advice, do not ever buy a Chevy! It is the worst car / truck I have ever purchased in my entire life. I will never buy another Chevy again

In California (from Texas) and A/C stops blowing cold or warn, just HOT air. Tried adding sealant and Freon that worked for about 10 minutes. Since then just hot air. Driving back from CA to TX thru the Central Valley, AZ and NM was not fun with temps > 90. I was checking here to see if anyone has had success on getting GM to fix this problem that seems rampant with this model Silverado/Sierra.

Update from Jul 14, 2020: I wrote to GM and received one phone call with a number to call. Called the number over 10 times, every time I was disconnected while going through the menu. Received a letter from Chevrolet with the same useless phone number. Wrote again hoping to get email address to open a dialog.

Update from Jul 14, 2020: Letter sent from Chevrolet states: 'don't hesitate to email us using the Contact Us link at Chevrolet.com'. Have looked for an email address for weeks and there is no email address to Chevrolet. Service Request Number 9-6056036105 from Chevrolet.

FINALLY spoke to a GM rep. Says I have to pay to have Chevrolet tell me the A/C doesn't work. That any coolant leaks out as fast as it can be put in. Have appt. for Monday 20 July 2020 at dealer where truck was purchased new.

Update from Oct 6, 2020: Finally heard back from GM (Chevrolet) after numerous phone calls, email and letters. They essentially said 'DON'T CARE - You bought the truck and any problems are yours. Cost $512 plus hours to have repaired at dealer. Chevrolet (UN) customer care would not even review problem until I took to dealer. So two and a half months and they don't give a crap. Have only owned Chevy P/U since the '60s. Never again.

The worse part is that Chevy knows it used defective parts, but doesn't apparently give a damn that it's caused an expensive fix to their customers. My damn truck isn't even paid off yet and now I have to pay $1200 to fix something that wasn't my fault and should have lasted the life of the damn truck which should have been way over 5 years. I'm 59 years old and a die hard Chevy fan but, oh hell NO. Not anymore. This truck has cost me $1400 in repairs over the winter for faulty plug wires, again not my fault but nothing is ever under warranty. Now, $1200 to fix a faulty a/c condenser. I'm ditching this bitch and buying another brand of vehicle.

A/C quit working one day, it was 57 degrees outside and mind you it was in the -20 to -30 range most of the winter so 57 feels hot lol. I did some research and found out the condenser was leaking. I contacted Chevrolet because I have already had many problems with the truck a couple months after purchasing it. I pretty much was told to kick rocks. So I replaced it myself in my driveway. Cost in total about $280. Chevrolet wanted $1400 to replace it. Needless to say, the truck has less than 100k miles, I've had trucks with twice that and twice its age still blow ice cold AC.

i own a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT with a 4.3 engine. It lost its freon charge April 30. We took it to our mechanic because we found out from the dealer it is no longer warrantied. Our mechanic told us right off the bat that he knew from experience that Chevrolet had a terrible problem with its ac system. He change out the upper hose and recharged the system. It blew cool for all of 3 days and it was warm again. Took it back to him and the lower line was replaced and charged. Again here it is 5 days later and no ac, just warm air.

Who pays $35000.00 for a truck and then is expected to fork out hundreds of dollars for issues that should not be taking place. I am so angry with GM I could wring some folks necks over this.

I have bought Chevy from 18 to 61 years old but will not buy again. They have lost this patron for good. We don't know how much more will have to be spent to get this right or if it can be made right, because the replacement parts are still the same crap. They just can't see how angry I am with this cheap and worthless crap they sell to hard working people. Worst of all, I still owe 14000 dollars on this crapping truck.

So sorry I bought this Silverado. Please take my advice and do not purchase Chevy. They will not make it good either. I wish I could tell the world this bad news for all who are thinking about these trucks and cars from Chevy. We still have no ac two weeks later.

Out of nowhere my A/C stopped working. Figured since it was soon to be winter, that I would deal with the problem in the Spring/Summer (living in Michigan). Summer came, I began investigating noticed that the AC Compressor was not spinning. So I thought I needed a new one. I spoke with a few people and they advised to attempt re-charging the free-on (that worked for one day). The fact that it only worked for a day told me that there was a leak somewhere. I didn't have the tools to look for a leak. I took the truck in to have a shop look for the leak (diagnosis was ~$150). It was found the that AC Condenser had a leak and to fix that the shop wanted to charge me $1400. I spoke to my father-in-law and he said he could install a new one for me. I went to a parts store, found a new Condenser (~$160 w/Warranty) and he installed it with my Uncle. After installation, I took the truck back to the shop to have them re-charge my AC system (~$150).

GM should really think about standing by their products. I could not believe that a truck that is only 3 years old could have this problem.

Poor design of a tubing connection between the condensing coil and the oil cooler circuit. There is inherent flexing and vibration through the oil cooling circuit it's only connection to the A/C condensing coil is a very thin soldered connection. This aluminum tubing is so thin it is difficult, but not impossible to repair. When mine failed I ordered a new condensing coil from Canada and replaced it myself. I analyzed the failure and have a corrective fix. It is nothing more than a bit of firm rubber and a couple of screws to prevent flexing between the cooling circuit and the condensing coil. Delco could fabricate something like this for less than $1.50. They could give it away, and they should because they have to own their poor design, or sell it for cost + 100%. They wouldn't make much profit but, they would certainly do what is is Right! Correct a poor design and prevent excessive cost to customers. A typical condensing coil cost from $800 to $1,000. to change out at a dealership. I changed my coil for $89.00, slightly more than 1 lb. of R-134A and 2 hours time. If mine ever fails again, I will simply do a low temp solder job and reinstall the same coil. It will cost me about $15.00 plus 1.5 hours of my time. Again this was a penny wise and pound foolish decision by a bean counter at Delco/Gm Heads should roll !!!!
