This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The 2014 and up Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models are notorious for electrical issues and bugs, some may have been recalled but other were not included in that recall while still having the same issues, these vehicles have major electrical system issues, from bad battery cables, down to every Control Module associated with the truck, over time salt, sand, mud, moisture disrupts certain key areas of the electrical wiring harness underneath the vehicle, General Motors knows about this but fails to recall these vehicles, it creates a very serious matter when you have no traction control, or any ABS function, along with loss of power steering assist. These control systems can be life and death when they are not working!. GM needs to address these issues and recall ALL 2014+ Silverado-€™s and alike for these electrical issues relating to -€œloss of communication with the ECM, BCM, TCM, EBCM, TCCM, PSCM, etc. these are costly break downs and these modules are very expensive to just throw in and hope it fixes the issue, most dealers don-€™t want to trace wiring issues and will just tell the customer cannot replicate which leaves us vulnerable. Some customers state their vehicles will randomly shut off while driving, others report their truck going into -€œLimp home mode-€. Nobody can seem to centralize a specific area where the problems are occurring but believe it has something to do with the material and the way the harness was made.
My truck loss of electric power steering it shuts off especially during low speed turning maneuvers. Lost and then returns then might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash. I have made an appointment at my dealership.
Friday November 26th after having hit a deer, my truck quit entirely. Transmission Would Shudder, and Rattle, then not engage, causing engine to Die during several attempts. I had to have the truck towed 3 times just to get it to where I could have the issue diagnosed. Gateway Transmission quoted $4200 minimum on repairs including Torque Convertor, Drive Shaft (replace w Steel not orig. alum). The repairs are completed, which now totaled $ $6,374.84 paid out of pocket. I have been without a vehicle for 60 Days. The Transmission Coolant Lines also had to be replaced. No GM notification has been received. Multiple Complaints found re same issue. I AM DEAF Phone included is a voice contact family member.
I purchased vehicle new 12/2013 and have had the vehicle to Chevy dealer after purchase due to hard downshifts and banging in transmission on shifting. Dealer claimed condition was a normal condition and would do nothing to remedy. This shifting condition stayed the same until the following event. 10/19/2021 driving northbound on I75 in Michigan at 75mph vehicle starts jerking and banging and starts losing speed. Tachometer is bouncing up and down between 1800-2300 rpm, transmission temp was 270 degrees. Vehicle is having transmission failure. I put transmission in manual mode and used 4th gear at 45 mph to limp into my destination. It was pitch dark, raining and very hard to see and I was concerned of being rear ended if I pulled off the side of the road and waited for a wrecker. The next day I drove the vehicle to a transmission shop, again using M4 to limp in as my brother in law followed behind with his emergency flashers on to alert others of a slow moving vehicle. The independent transmission shop inspected my vehicle and determined the torque converter failed and contaiminated the transmission, lines and cooler with metal shavings. They also commented they see several of these vehicles for the same problem, it's common issue they said. Mileage at failure was 124780. They rebuilt the transmission, replaced the torque converter and flushed the lines and cooler at a cost of $2755. GM should be held responsible to reimburse owners of these vehicles as they knew of these transmission issues and placed the occupants of vehicle at risk of injury or death if this issue caused a collision. I have attached documented complaint at GM when vehicle was new of clunking and banging in transmission and their answer was its a normal condition.
problem first started about 6 weeks ago. slowing down making a turn my truck would shut down without any warning. once turning left in a four lane highway. once turning into Mc Donalds jumping curb and several other times. took into dealership for a recall told them about problem. they put analizer on it showing nothing. it has shut down several times since and a light on my truck finanally came on saying it was the trucks thief deterrent system. i will be taking this into my dealership again this morning but feel you should be aware of this problem as all control of truck was loss when turning into oncoming traffic.
Vehicle will shut off while driving at low speeds. Also power steering will come on and off during turns. Happens often. Then a messege pops up on dash to lower than put up drive side window. This happens without any warning.
Vehicle starts to shake when driven above 70mph. If brakes are applied to reduce speeds from 75-70 the shaking significantly increases, but decreases to the normal shaking once the brakes are released.
1) transmission when out while driving at 55 ml per hour, truck only had 107,000 miles had to replace transmission more like a rebuild transmission from the dealer. 2) my air conditioner when out 9 months later after replacing transmission, there was a leak on the A/C condenser, dealer replace the condenser two years later air conditioner when out a gain with the same problem A/C condenser leaking the condenser that dealer replace. This's not coment and I think GM needs step in to the plate and looked in to this transmission issues and air conditioner condenser leaking refrigeran.
My transmission failed and I couldn't go over 40mph. The truck would jump and bounce and make loud screeching noises. At first I thought it was all the transmission. I asked a family friend who is a mechanic and he diagnosed it. He concluded that the transmission wasn't the only problem. The motor was having difficulties changing from V8-V4 also. I have been told by many people that I need to get a tuner to delete the computer program that changes the amount of cylinders firing. I have also seen/heard trucks that go without the delete too long. Also, my power steering will fail at low speeds while turning. GM fails to see that my truck has this issue. Saying it doesn't affect my VIN.
When I take low speed turns, either going forward or backwards, the power steering starts going in and out and the radio will turn off. Sometime the whole vehicle will shut off or just turn off then right back on. The stability track messege pops up on the dash. When this happens my vehicle will reset itself.
Code P2138. Truck goes into "limp mode" when pedal harness sensor gets wet. (I.e. driving in heavy rain). Power and transmission reduce speed to less than 45mph. Will not go into any gear higher than 2nd. This happened to me on the interstate at driving at the posted speed limit of 75 mph. Had to pull over and limp 1 mile to the nearest off ramp creating a dangerous situation. Has been an ongoing issue.
The truck is jumping rpms I've had many mechanics look at it and even switched out parts out. I was told told it could be 4cyl to 8cyl adapting now I'm being told the torque converter is faulty.. the truck gets stuck at a stop light or feels like a hard pull when slowing down and sometimes even makes a clunk noise.
This truck has problems with radiator. Will never buy a Chevy again. This 2014 Chevy is problem after problem and a big company like U guys. Will not stand behind any of the problems
At 72K miles the torgue converter on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado ltz required replacement at an out of the pocket expense of $4486. The auto repair garage where I had the work done reported they have seen multiple vehicles with this transmission coming in lately with around the same mileage (72K) having this issue. I drive mostly around town (not much highway), heard a grinding sound and caught it early before losing any gears. Unfortunately, some vehicles have actually lost gears. Sounds dangerous.
With any kind of acceleration above 30 mph, there is a vibration under the driver side floor board and seat and the vehicle is "searching" for the correct RPM within a 200 RPM range. When in a parking lot with 4X4 hi engaged, the front hubs will bind with the steering wheel turned over half way right or left, making tight turns difficult to complete. I will be taking this to a dealership to hopefully get diagnosed and repaired. Mileage is 114K
