  • 40,000 miles
At only 42,000 miles (warranty is 36,00 or 3 years) there is a crack in my A/C hose. The A/C was blowing hot air. They found a cracked hose at dealership part # 2348932 needed to be replaced along with a bracket costing $750. This is ridiculous for a truck with very little mileage.

My 2014 Chevrolet Silverado has the Chevy shakes at highway speeds. The truck begins vibrating at 70-80 miles per hour. Begins to reduce the shaking between 80-83 and then shakes even worse at 85+mph. The shaking is so bad it causes water to shake out of a cup in the cup holder. Not only does the steering wheel vibrate, but the entire center console, and the front seats. The vibration didn't begin until I hit 60,000 miles and seems to worsen with the higher mileage. I now fear for my safety, because I skidded the in the rain due the vibration at highway speeds. I only have videos showing the vibration. Total bummer. I had my tires checked and balanced (which have been on the truck for 1 year +, prior to the vibration starting) my truck has lifetime alignment on it, and this is not the issue either.

Air conditioning line rubs and breaks, tech. Bulletin has dealership install bracket at your cost of course. Problem is it breaks again, and you get to spend another 400 bucks so you can use the air-conditioning. This is a manufacturer design flaw. That comes at the consumers' expense.

A/C only blows hot air, cannot defog windows at certain times and increases the likely hood of my newborn getting over heated. It is a known issue with General Motors and they said it is the NHTSA that will not do the recall because it is not dangerous. Well we will see how dangerous it is when we cant see because it will not defog window or what the hospital bill will be when my newborn overheats because of a faulty A/C compressor and bracket for the hose. A 2014 should not need a $1600 repair. That is 3 months payments for a A/C.

Paint is peeling. Started out with a small piece of paint peeling on the back drivers side door. This evening I found a much larger place missing paint on the drivers side just to the left of the windshield. I did a google search and found this is a common problem with 2014+ model years. Is anything being researched or done about this so that GM is will correct the issue? I expect more from a $40K+ vehicle.

62000 miles, and my 2014 Silverado's, ac condensor is gapped, and seeping freon...this needs to be a national recall. Even an ac man told me he keeps a huge amount of these condensors on hand because they break too often, and too early in a 2014-15 Silverado's. simply a design flaw..and say to costly for such a simple crack. Thank you for recalling this.

  • 51,000 miles
The air conditioning system failed because of a leaking condenser with only 51,000 miles on the truck. Researched and found this to be a frequent problem that GM is aware of. GM needs to recall this and repair these vehicles. I wrote to Chevy and they will not reimburse the fees I had to pay for repair. The issue needs to be addressed, this system failing when just outside warranty is not right.

While driving my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado the ac unit began blowing warm air. I am now forced to drive myself and my infant son while being exposed to potentially lethal temperatures inside the car. Every time I remove my son from his car seat he is sweating. In addition, if it is raining outside my windows become almost impossible to see out of since the defroster is linked to a properly working ac unit. GM knows about this systemic issue in all similar vehicles and has refused to rectify the hazard or mitigate the heat exposure to my child.

The driver's side rear back glass shattered as the truck was parked in my driveway. The glass has rear defrost heat wires in it and apparently there is a defect in this glass. Other reports say there is a spall in the glass and it is happening quite frequently.

The ac went out on my 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. GM will not do anything about it even though they said the are trying to determain which VIN numbers they should recall. Looking online there are thousands upon thousands of ac going out in these units do to faulty manufacturing. GM should be held responsible for it. Not everyone has $1200-$2000 to fix this issue out of pocket for a 3 year old vehicle in which we already paid 40K for.

Silverado 1500

  • 42,600 miles
While making a left turn into my driveway on a city street going approximately 10 mph, my steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left out of my hand, and the entire vehicle went dead (lost all power, lights, etc.). because the steering wheel locked, I was unable to turn fully into my driveway. As a result, the bed of the truck was sticking out into a major road and I was almost hit by cars coming around the curve by my driveway. It was dark and rainy. I called someone for help and we pushed the truck out of the roadway as best as possible, considering that the steering wheel was still locked. The truck would not restart. All power was gone. The only way I could think to move the truck was to jump start it with another vehicle. After jumpstarting the truck, the dash info system displayed, "action required: Open then close driver window." This is the 2nd time this happened after Chevy dealership performed recall 17276 "temporary loss of electrical power steering (eps) service (during low speed steering maneuvers). There is a tsb out alluding to this issue: #pit5405C: Steering jerks or kicks back / reduced power steering assist / engine stall, etc. (Jan 27, 2017). Why is there no recall"?" this is a major safety issue and could have been deadly!

Ac unit has gone out twice now within 70K miles and I drive a lot in Texas heat dressed professionally and have 3 children. I have owned Silverado since I was 18 and am now 46 and have never once had an ac problem. After reading a lot of complaints on multiple forums I over last few years I would think this would have been resolved as a recall issue already
