Silverado 1500

  • 82,000 miles
This trucks module that controls the safety features and chimes not working, there was a recall notice for 2014-2015 number 14V301000 and number 14315. Date @6/6/2014. This truck is a 2014 but not included in the recall. GM will no repair under this recall number. This needs to be recalled. It's a safety issue. It doesn't remind you of seat belts or doors still open or low gas issues and keys being left in the ignition or vehicle transmission being left in drive position with drivers door being open, which would allow a driver to get out without being warning that vehicle is still in drive and possible run driver over if driver leave there vehicle in this condition.

While slowing down and beginning to turn, the truck almost stalls and locks up its steering wheel. This has happened several times in the past week, all driving less than 5 mph in parking lots or driveways where I put on the break and turn at the same time. The truck has stayed on all times except for once. I turned key off, then on and was able to keep driving.

While driving down the highway my wife's purse strap hooked on the door handle on the front passenger side door. While she went to release the purse the door pushed open. The driver side door allowed also allowed the door to open during operation, but only after actuating the door handle twice. After trying to re-lock the doors we noticed the front passnger side door would not lock and determined actuator was faulty. After searching the internet for possible recalls, failure of this component is well documented and seems common.

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

Traveling at all speeds the stabilitytrak will turn off when hitting the brakes. Simultaneously, the truck will lose quickly lose power and then it comes back on. I have taken the truck to get fixed multiple times at a Chevy dealership and each time they come up with something new that could be the problem. I have called and make 2 complaint to GM/Chevy ([xxx]and [xxx]) both times the manufacturer have done nothing for me. I did the recall back in 2017 for this problem and that did not work. I have had grounding wire work done, a new battery put in, a new engine fuse block with wiring harness, and recently a new steering column. Nothing has worked.

Silverado 1500

  • 80,000 miles
While engaging slow idle speed turns, my 2014 Silverado will occasionally completely lose all power steering and the engine will shut off completely. I have also had the same issue occur while driving straight and applying the brake or rolling up windows. During these terrifying situations, a message comes across the dash saying one or all of the following "electronic power steering reduced. Drive with caution" "stabilitrack" "trailer brakes". this issue seems to be very sporadic and unpredictable. I looked up possible solutions and had a mechanic fix a poor grounding connection under the dash which they thought could be the cause but did not resolve the problem. Please help!
