My pickup has 71,000 miles and the frame has cracks in it and very rusted out. There-??s got to be something done, I am still paying for it, I have it for roughly 2 1/2 years. Even though it is a 2014 it looks to be good shape, but don-??t llook at the frame. My mechanic will not put it on a lift because he is afraid crushing it completely. Pictures attached.

Transmission failing at 130k miles. Warning if car driving weird and then after 2 days I-??m stopped in traffic go to hit the gas and nothing. Truck wouldn-??t move. The 2015 has a transmission recall. A/C failing to work for the last 1.6 years. Inconvenience and apparently a common issue in the 2014 Silverado. Should be a recall since it-??s so common.

Rear Window Defrost Thermal- When the rear defrost is turned out it has a static/sizzling sound and smoke emitting from behind the cover. I have video proof. Now since this problem has begun, it has led to part of the back glass shattering. GM claims this to only be recall on Canadian trucks and that this exact truck does not fall into the recall category and they are not willing to cover the problem.

For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have driven this vehicle since it's original purchase and have never even used the trailer brake. (Even though it's been titled twice - I purchased it from the company I work for.) Thankfully it has not caused any accidents. Just an annoyance. But I have been reading online that some owners have been unable to operate their vehicles due to this issue. This is not a daily driver vehicle but today was the most recent episode with the warning. I drove maybe a couple of miles total and it chimed and notified me approximately 20 times in this short distance. I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.

The air conditioner condenser has a small leak causing the refrigerant to leak out. This is a known problem with all gm Silverado 2014-2017 and a recall needs to be issued. They are all leaking in the same place due to a faulty weld from the factory.

My 2014 Chevy Silverado crew cab 1500 has started to vibrate. It-€™s like it comes and goes sometime. I was driving down the highway and something didn-€™t feel right so I thought it was the road surface that was making my truck feel that way. I then was driving on a newly resurfaced road an it was feeling the same like I had a flat tire. The tires were ok. It had this vibration.
