Vehicle has intermitten reduced engine display while traveling down the high way. Causes the vehicle to downshift and significantly increase engine RPM. I-??m fearing if this continues to happen it will blow up my engine. The ecu shows code p2138. After some research I-??ve learned GM is aware of this fsult in their vehicles and I believe they should be the one paying for their mistake. Not me.

I have been getting the Reduced Engine Power message due to the drive by wire components and the truck will go into Limp mode. This is a VERY DANGEROUS event due to the fact that a driver not knowing when this will happen. I have pulled into the road many times before and have this happen, and when it does go into limp mode, you are dead in the middle of the road trying to avoid being hit by on-coming cars. It is a KNOWN issue with GM for years now and many Technical Bulletins have been sent out about it.

Lifter failure happened while traveling home from Florida to SC. I was towing a vehicle and barely made it home. Having to drive at low speeds on the interstate put me at risk for accident. Now that I-??m home I-??m losing money because I have been unable to work due to not being able to drive the truck. The dealership quoted me $4700 to fix when there is a known class action lawsuit for this exact problem. GM should just replace these motors. This is very dangerous. There were no prior warning signs it just started ticking after stopping for fuel.

Braking system!!! yes avaliable for inspection anytime. When traveling no matter the speed when applying the brakes no matter the situation the brakes dont work the pedal feels real hard to push for a man of my stature 6'1" 265 pds. 1st time was getting home and the pedal goes hard and brakes dont work. This has happened numerous numerous times in drive thrus, intersections, stop lights and stop sign's, home almost taking out the garage door almost running my kids over!!!! hugh problems respectively if that were to ever happen. This is a manufacturer problem and owner nightmares that needs to be fixed before serious injuries happen... 2ndly, the engine lifters &transmission is another hugh problem for a person who works extremely hard for everthing he owns and takes care of his vehicle very meticulously because of how hard I worked for every penny to buy my all-time favorite trucks!!! ive owned many Silverado's over my 47yrs of life and never have I been so disappointed in a vehicle for manufacturer flaws at the purchaser's expense!!!!! and we the purchaser's are not talking nickles and dimes either!!!!! thousands after we paid hard earned tens of thousands to purchase the xxxxxx of xxxx and it kills me to say that but its what I feel after a lifetime of loyalty to Silverado's and the people that manufacture them. You must address every major problem and yyyooooouuuu know what they are!!!!! if a recall is not done for no fault of ours the loyal people that love our trucks I will not for the rest of my days on this beatiful planet ever by a GM product again. And I believe so many loyal others will follow suit. Do what's right and we all win in the end. Or you, yes you, will lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stand behind your product like we have, some all our lives or may carma have its way with you and we will stand by just as you and do nothing. As for the important questions that come after this section it has been happing for years! thanks 4your money sorry about your luck

Heavy smell of gasoline in the cab and the bed of my truck as well as outside of the truck began on February 23, 2023. The truck is also harder to turn over or start since the smell has begun. Due to the gasoline smell, it is causing a nauseous feeling, severe headaches, coughing and a red flush over my wife-??s face when she is in the truck. The transmission line leak has been leaking for quite some time and I have to replace the transmission fluid a least a quart of fluid every two weeks. I was not notified of the Safety Recalls for the Fuel pump pressure regulator and the Transmission oil cooler line leak/ fire danger on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I have taken my truck to be assessed by the Chevrolet Dealer on 03/13/2023, and they determined that my truck does indeed have both of these Safety Recall problems but that they will not repair them. They stated it is a closed recall and my 95k+ miles were too high. The Safety Recall Bulletin #14121 and #13370A both state no mileage limitation and declare my make and model affected by these Safety Failures. I have paid off the loan to my truck early only to be unable to drive it safely or enjoy it. I have never been late on any of my payments and was proud to pay it off early. This model truck has had several Recalls including an incident with the front wheel falling off due to a mechanical failure, that was shocking and frightening when it happened after only owning it for approx. 2 years. With the Fuel leaking and carbon monoxide, and the transmission fluid leaking, the Dealer should take responsibility and repair these problems that they know are a Safety and Fire issue as stated in the Recall Bulletins and make my vehicle operable again. I am only asking that the Dealership provide me with the Repairs they said are needed to the Failures caused by improper installations and or Faulty equipment from the manufacturer as stated in the Safety Bulletin Recalls.

Automatic fuel management system failure has caused a p0300 code as multiple misfire diagnosed to cylinder 4 dead with no compression. This vehicle is no longer drivable and I still owe $21,000. GM knows of this failure for a long time. At current I have no way to pay for repairs and making payments on a truck I can not drive. I bought this vehicle used at 83,000 miles and have put 16,000 miles on it in 2 1/2 years

Using a signal for lane changes causes cruise control to disengage, suspension messages and air bag failure messages as well as tire failure icon would all come on and when leaving the exit ramp and decelerating the engine would die and system would lock up without ability to steer. So dangerous. Then next trip all is good but the engine failing while driving has happened a half dozen times. The last incident was another engine failure during an exit from the interstate in November.

Steering assistance failed during slow speed turn into side street. Vehicle stalled with no power to steer or brake. Engine turned off allowing vehicle to dead stick accross two lanes of traffic for opposite direction. Vehicle came to rest in parking lot nearby. Had there been vehicles in those lanes an accident would have occurred. Dash board monitor gives signals that "stability track" off and check engine have issues. In August of 2017 received recall letter from GM citing problem with EPS (electric power steering). Took vehicle to Serpentini Chevy on August 13th 2017 and they reprogramed EPS Module. Milage at this time was 20,085. They did not charge for repair. In 2017 my vehicle had no symptoms of recall. Now in 2022 this EPS problem is happening with milage 54,000 twice almost causing MVA.

My vehicle started displaying a stabilitrak warning, gauge lights dimming, hard steering, and the ac turning off when I would push the brake pedal while driving. 15 miles later, while making a left hand turn, my vehicle shut off completely which caused a loss of power steering. I was able to avoid an accident as the vehicle did restart. Prior to this incident, I have taken the vehicle in twice to Chevrolet dealerships to diagnose this issue. Both times they stated they could not duplicate the issue so nothing was done. This seems to be a common issue for many 2014 Chevrolet Silverado owners.

The vehicle has experienced dash and screen flickering while driving. When stopped and making turns the engine shuts off and the steering is locked. The whole dash goes blank. The engine is not able to restart or click. Anit-theft warning comes on for no reason. I feel there is a safety issue when driving this vehicle but no recalls have been placed. I don't feel safe driving my babies in the car.
