I just purchased truck and took it to the chevrolet dealer they told me this year make and model has had a lot of transmission issues that the torque converter fails inside the transmission and they want $6000 to fix it, I have not had the truck 60 days
The vehicle will intermittently start to have electrical glitches such as loss of electric power steering, A/C and radio shutting off, stabilitrack shutting off and engine shutoff. I've heard there is a known ground issue with this model and its can be dangerous when moving if you lose steering control and engine control. This has happened multiple times the most recent was 6/28/2021
Towing 16ft stock trailer with 2 calves- Turning Left onto another 2 lane road which was downhill, Engine shut off during turn, power steering went out, had truck brakes pressed to floor, trailer brakes didn't react.

My truck has developed a radiator leak after 39930 miles. I see from reading on the Internet this is a very common problem with this year of truck. Chevrolet even has a recall to replace the radiator but says my truck is not included. The recall notice is #15829. This ends up being a very expensive repair. I have been quoted $1428 by a Chevrolet dealer to replace radiator.
I chose a used 2014 Chevy Silverado with 180K miles. I met my salesperson, bernard, on site at pugmire Ford, in carrollton, ga. When I test drove the vehicle, the truck had off road tires, so I requested that pugmire put regular tires on the truck before taking possession. They agreed and the truck was delivered a few days later. Soon after delivery, I noticed a soft noise seemingly coming from the engine. I informed my salesperson bernard of the issue. He asked me to bring the truck back for review. I did & bernard told me 'it had something to do with the exhaust so don't worry about it. It will go away after a few drivecycles'. I didn't believe him so I had the obd checked, that indicated that the catalytic converter had failed. I sent the document to bernard, then I asked if the vehicle had a recent emissions inspection, he said he didn't know. He apologized, but stated that they would not be responsible for any repairs to the vehicle. At this point, I reminded bernard 1. it is illegal to sell a vehicle that cannot pass emissions 2. that my bank had not yet mailed the check. With that mind, pugmire Ford finally agreed to pay for the replacement of the catalytic converter. So I agreed to authorize my bank to send the check. Pugmire had arranged for the truck to be fixed at G&S auto and they paid for the work. But after repair, the check engine light returned. So I took it back to G&S to ask why. That's when they determined the catalytic converter had failed due to internal engine damage. They recommended another shop for a 2nd opinion. That shop is called all pro automotive. All pro confirmed the damage and provided a quote for the repairs. Pugmire Ford voided all claims of the vehicle being an an 'as-is' purchase when they paid to replace the catalytic converters. They took ownership of it, and opted out after they received the check from my bank.
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.
Check engine light comes on P06dd. Initially it was a oil injector that needed replacing within the first 4 years of purchase of a new truck. When the code comes on later it's the oil pump. Oil pump has a pressure switch on it that says pump oil at 10 ppm, if it goes at 7 ppm it will cause the check engine light to come on.the oil pressure going into the engine at 7 ppm is not S serious issue and shouldn't cause the check engine light to come on.I live in a state county where you can't register your 1500 truck for a new vehicle registration with the check engine light on.the dealer wants to bill me 10 hours of labor because of where the oil pump is located inside the engine.the local dealership wants to charge $1,000 for the replacement fo the oil pump and the connected sensor.I would like to see a recall effort happen which will not make the sensor enact the check engine light for small irreverent discretion with the pressure switch.
Vehicle's electrical system will fail while driving, it may fail during ignition, and it may fail immediately after shutdown. These failures are catastrophic. All systems in the vehicle fail at once. All steering and braking assistance, all lights, HVAC, ignition, fuel delivery, all electrical systems are affected by this dysfunction. This is highly dangerous as it can and does occur while driving at highway as well as residential speeds. Associated failures include various dash modules unresponsive or off intermittently, stabilitrac service message, action needed message: Roll down then up driver window, exterior and interior lighting including headlights flickering and dimming, frozen or glitched or otherwise unresponsive radio, steering wheel forcefully jerking without input from driver or road, 'traction off' indicators. All issues are sporadic, chronic, and debilitating. Vehicle has delivered stabilitrak messages and momentarily tripped all electronics while driving as well. Not every failure is complete, some glitches in the electrical may persistently occur under normal driving conditions, this puts un due strain on the attention, mindfulness, and peace a driver is reasonably expected to achieve in any vehicle. This has also been a precursor to complete failure and great care must be taken to remove the vehicle from roadways and traffic.
When I am driving I turn the blinker on or press the brake and the stable track comes on truck turns off at low speeds when I am turning the wheel or pressing the brake took it to the Chevy dealership and nothing I tell them I almost crashed due to this issue and they say it's your hole wired electrical system that doesn't make sense I tell them I need recalls done and they still do nothing
Happens 3-4 a week when driving: I turn turn signal on and headlights flicker truck feels like losses power, if making a U-turn steering wheel gets hard and truck feels like stalling out. On highway going 65mph stabilitrak light flashed twice and truck felt sluggish very brief. When exiting highway and turning onto city street at 30mph very briefly the truck lost power and steering was like stuck, almost caused accident, truck felt like it turned off and on and jolted forward very hard and went back to normal. When I pulled into a parking lot the stabilitrak light came back on and truck stalled briefly again while turning at 15mph, all dash lights came on and power steering lost, truck went back to normal on its own.
This has happened several times on a 2014 Chevy Silverado I bought Apr 2020. The first time was Sep 2020 and diagnosis from the mechanic showed nothing found. Only showed error code that communication with the computer was lost. Code was cleared and it did not do it again until 2 Mar 2021. Upon initial ignition, the message window read "action needed. Roll driver window down and back up, I did this and then it went away. After driving on a flat, paved, dry road at about 35 mph. For no apparent reason, my truck displayed a message that said "stability control", the engine reved, rpms shot up to 5K and instrument cluster flicker several times, radio turned off and then returned to normal. A short time later at a light and the message appeared again, the radio and cluster completely shut off and then the truck suddenly died. I put it in park, and it restarted immediately, only to do it again (started again as well). The first two times this happened, the truck came back on without issue and I was able to safely pull over into a parking lot. It happened again within minutes of the second time and I had just pulled into a parking lot. This time, the truck completely died (no electricity, no ability to use blinkers, hazards, no power steering or brakes ect. Complete outage. After 10 minutes of it not coming on or starting, I called aaa to tow it and while on the phone (approx 30 minutes, it came back to life on its own (radio, instrument panel came on) and it started. I tried to drive it home, and at one light, it died again but restarted and I was able to get it home to make an appointment. I am writing this because of the dozens of cases of the same issues (some of which vehicles died while at driving speeds) with similar year and model GM vehicles on forums. This is a very dangerous issue which does not have a solution by GM and needs to be documented.
The vehicles afm system has bent a pushrod in my truck. There are numerous complaints online about this. I am out of warranty and there is no recall. Is this being investigated?
Radiator has stress cracks in the upper left corner. The dealer has done water pump replacement and thermostats upgrade. Dealer has replaced radiator 3 times and I have paid labor and parts. The cracks occur about every 2 years.
Whenever pulling into parking lot slowly or reverse parking complete loss of power, have to put in park to restart vehicle. Usually while turning vehicle happens at least once a day.
