Silverado 1500

  • 42,000 miles
During a turn to a side street the vehicle shut off. All steering and brakes were inoperable. There was an engine malfunction light and a message about there being 2 identical keys for the truck then anti theft flashed. While stopped in the intersection blocking traffic, a message directed to roll down the drivers window then back up. When that was done, electrical came back on and steering was restored. The vehicle was started and is now unsafe for use. The control for being on or off is unreliable and therefore unsafe to use as a Transport. 42000 miles on the 2014 high country Silverado. No steering. No brakes...that makes it unsafe. Would you put your family in this vehicle and ask them to drive safely" how do you justify giving total control to volatile software? how about at 75 mph and it fails" just know it can happen would have ensured I considered another purchase. I believe that information alone will justify someone else's marketing data.

During a panic stop at slow to mid speed someone pulled out in front of me and I hit the brakes only to have a hard pedal and not stopping quick enough. Felt like a brake booster issue. The hard pedal and increased stopping distance is a definite safety issue and I will be heading to the dealer asap. I am out of normal warranty and only have powertrain warranty left. Shouldn't matter due to safety relation of problem. ## VIN passed ##, ##

Silverado 1500

  • 75,500 miles
Brake failure. While backing down my driveway at a speed of only 10-15 mph the vehicles brake pedal became rock hard and would not depress, I am a 220 lb. Man who is what I feel in good shape and had to use both feet on the brake pedal and all my strength just to attempt to slow it down. I was unable to fully be able to stop the vehicle when I impacted the corner of my garage which resulted in minor bumper damage, however no one was hurt thank god. The odd thing is once I stopped and put the vehicle in park the brake pedal seemed to build pressure again and was fine? after a little investigation with the vehicle I can recreate the issue if I pump the brakes 4 to 5 times in quick succesion which results again in a rock hard pedal and loss of braking. Once I rev the engine in neutral I restore pressure back to the brake pedal and have no issues. I am almost positive this is a brake vacuum issue and will be taking to a mechanic asap to look into it.

My brakes are not stopping properly, I was advised it was a safety issue and could cause a traffic accident. My radiator also had began to leak from the front of my hood. It's been maintenance and I've never been in an accident. There vehicle should not be going out so quickly, at risk of overheating or fire.
