Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 80,000 miles
I remote started my truck and it started smoking from the rear of the crew cab, it went out but left brown snow around it but about a mile down the road the right rear glass exploded and luckily my oldest daughter is forward facing in her child seat and the glass went over or behind her chair. If my youngest was there she would have certainly taken glass to the face and been too young to not put it in her mouth if it didn't immediately hurt her. The vehicle was stationary, the remote start was used and I believe my vehicles rear defrosters were engaged during the remote start.the smoke started immediately and I shut it off to get it to go away and removed them stained snow from the area. The glass exploded about a mile down the road with no other warning sign. I saw online that Canada already has a recall out for this fire/safety hazard and I?M not sure the out of pocket replacement window I get will make the truck any safer for me and my kids.

At low speeds especially when turning, a sudden loss of steering control happens. It becomes really hard to turn the vehicle. Then a few different messages pop up "stabilitrak" and "parking assist is of" and sometimes the truck completely turns off while I'm driving and no matter where I am I have to put it in park and turn the truck back on. This has happened to me about 7 times in the last two weeks.

The electrical issue is sometimes the truck will just stop basically there won't be any power whatsoever, everything just shuts down and will not start, we were on tiny town road when it happened and on fort campbell blvd, we had to have someone come with jumper cables and help me start the truck it has done that at least 3 times. When we took it in they said they could T find anything. Also since I got it I have had nothing but issues. The brakes and rotors have been replaced on this vehicle at least 4 to 5 times, when we would take it on the interstate it would shake when we would put the brakes on and so we took it in more than once to fix it. Also there is something to do with the theft deterrent system as well. It just seems there is always an issue and I'm so tired of this truck.

Multiple times moving at slow speeds the vehicle shuts off and all kinds of warnings pop up. Service power steering, service stabilitrak, service trailer brake controller, check engine light ect. When the vehicle does this it loses all power and the steering wheel violently jerks itself to one side. You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Silverado 2014 crew cab 5.3 with 79500 miles

Multiple times moving at slow speeds the vehicle shuts off and all kinds of warnings pop up. Service power steering, service stabilitrak, service trailer brake controller, check engine light ect. When the vehicle does this it loses all power and the steering wheel violently jerks itself to one side. You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Pulling into a parking space at a local gas station it almost jerked me into a parked car. Luckily it hasn't happened at a high rate of speed or it will certainly lead to serious injury or death. There are multiple complaints on the net on multiple forums for this specific issue for these specific models and years. My truck has roughly 44000 miles on it. I feel as if I'm getting the runaround at the dealership. Like I stated earlier this has happened multiple times to me and there are thousands out there in the same situation as me. This is a serious safety concern that GM needs to address and fix.

It is too bad I can not check all that apply! I have the same problems as other people loosing steering and getting the stabiltrack message at low speeds. When this happens you loose all power and the lights all dim. I also have begun to noticed that while driving down the highway in cruise control any turn of the vehicle with the steering wheel kills the cruise control. I also have the trailer, break system message flash randomly at low speeds without a trailer or pulling anything this is just annoying the other problems are major safety issues!!! I have had this truck in the dealership several times had very poor customer service and wasn't even told about the recalls that were on it. However, I don't seem to see any recalls for the problems that I have and that thousands of other people are describing with the electrical issue and stabiltrack at low speeds. I also want to add that the rear seatbelts in this vehicle are complete junk.

When driving down the street every time I slowed down to do a turn or stopped at a stop sign my steering wheel locked up and my truck turned off on its own. It only did this when I slowed down to turn and to stop. It happened 3 times back to back.

While driving home, a stabilitrak warning appeared on the dash and my ac/radio began to stop but ramped back up after the dismissal. Once I got to my street, I made a left and the truck completed turned off. My steering wheel locked up, the wheel locked up, and there was no power to the vehicle. After about 3 minutes, the vehicle lights turned on and I was able to get to my driveway. I cannot imagine what would have happened if I was on the freeway. There's many other people on the web that have had the same issue with this truck.

150 miles after regular service of engine light/ABS/and stabiltrak lights being on, and an oil change, the truck stalled (luckily I was in my own driveway). Shortly after, the engine light, followed by ABS light came on. Suddenly the speedometer gauge acted wildly, there was a very hard shift. I put it on cruise control just to help the engine quit hard shifting....cc cancelled itself out. Everything sets back to normal for a minute or less and it all happens again, this time taking away power steering and a louder "hard shift". in the mean time, every warning I think there is would pop up...."stabiltrak off, starring assist reduced...etc". this just continues and seems to get more aggressive, more frequent...including resetting to normal briefly each time. Schumacher Buick/GM/Chevy said it could be tcm, or ECM, or another I can't recall. Unhappy with lack of knowledge of issue, and a "let's try this then this then this..", it has perplexed not one but two very accredited mechanic teams. The truck has 130,000 miles, and was serviced as it should have been by the Chevy dealer since iacquired it new. It never had any similar issue until just after its most recent maintenance. Thankfully this all occurred within miles of my home, as the issue is most definitely a threat to any hopes of safety. Towing it, is the only way to safely move that vehicle after experiencing the issues.

Started making a turn and the truck instantly shut off leading to power steering loss causing me to end up in the opposing lane almost hitting two children and their father on bikes. Father didn't have much patience with me trying to explain that it was a problem with the truck... fix this issue or else it will become a huge liability. Buy back all of these trucks and crush them.

Silverado 1500

  • 67,111 miles
While driving through a public parking lot, at a slow turn the truck stopped dead. No power, barely was able to stop without hitting parked vehicles. To make it even more dangerous than it already was, another car almost hit me because of my sudden stop. I was then trapped in my pickup. Windows and doors would not open. No response from turning the key. This is the second time its happened and both were at low speeds. The first time I thought it was my error. I looked it up on social media and found many others had the same problem. Some people said no recall on such a 'common' and unsafe problem, another said there was a recall open. I was told by GM headquarters no recall. Told by service mgr at the dealership, told me there is a recall issued. Only after I brought it to the dealership, they tell me it'll cost me $364. I asked about what he told me only 3 days earlier of the recall, he then denied it. With the severity of the problem and the numbers of persons who complained, I would think this should be at Chevy's expense. I will be taking the truck on vacation the end of the month. If something should happen, I've instructed our two children to secure a good lawyer and open a wrongful death/injury suit. I will have documentation of the information I reviewed through social media comments along with this complaint and the repairs by this 'certified' dealership at their ready.
