Recent owner complaints
- Electrical system
TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON IT'S OWN AS I WAS PARKED AND WOULDN'T SHIFT BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE THE ACTUATOR OR THE CONTROL MODULE OR BOTH AND THEY ARE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND HAVE FIXED MORE THAN HE CAN COUNT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE TO THE POINT HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS JUST BY ME TELLING HIM IT SHIFTED ON ITS ON. THE SHIFT KNOB TO SHIFT FROM 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE DOESN'T WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT SHIFTED BACK TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE A WEEK LATER ON ITS OWN AS I WAS DRIVING. NOW I'M SCARED TO EVEN TOUCH THE SHIFT KNOB.
- Steering
AFTER A SHORT TRIP OF 120 MILES AND SITTING OVERNIGHT, STARTED TRUCK BUT HAVE NO STEERING. WHEEL IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION.
- Electronic stability control (esc)
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO ON JULY 30 2020 I WAS TURNING ON A STREET UNDER 10 MILES A HOUR AND LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY TRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND CUT COMPLETELY OFF I BARELY MISSED A LITTLE GIRL STANDING ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM THE RECALL THEY HAD ON THESE TRUCKS IN 2017 AND THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR A HOUR THEN CALLED ME AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THEY COULDN'T HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAN KILL PEOPLE. IT REALLY NEED TO BE TAKING CARE OF VERY VERY FAST.
- Electronic stability control (esc)
WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON DASH, NOW TRUCK IS COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF WHILE STILL SLOWING DOWN. NO BRAKING ASSISTANCE OR POWER STEERING, IN ADDITION RADIO ALSO CUTS OFF. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS IT APPEARS AFTER TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 MIN.
- Service brakes
BRAKES DON'T WORK AT LOW SPEED (UNDER 5 MPH). TYPICALLY AFTER HEAVY BRAKE USAGE (HARD BRAKING OR HEAVY TRAFFIC). THIS FIRST OCCURRED 1/27. I HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED 1/28. THIS ISSUE OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY NOW.
