general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado

Paint / wax by factory has totally pealed off frame of the truck. Rust everywhere 38000 miles.

Vehicle hvac pressurizes cab causing headaches and ear pain.

Fire and death hazard . Strong unbearable toxic smell entering up into cab.

Undercoating on truck frame is peeling off and rust is prevalent.

I backed my truck out of the garage and parked in the driveway. I put in park and had my keys in my hand. I went to walk back inside the house when I turned around and saw my truck rolling down the driveway. I stopped it and pulled back up in the driveway and put in park again just for it roll back down the driveway. After I couple times of repeating this the transmission finally engaged into park.

I still get recall letters but the dealer (autonation west hwy 50 orlando tells me it is complete but the cards says incomplete that I get from gm. My onstar also tells me to get it fixed. . What must I do to feel safe ? this is my 3rd Silverado but what a problem !!!!!.

Purchased Silverado new oct 2014. Driving dry clean highway, approx. 35 mph, rear right tire completely exploded. Did not hit anything or anyone, just blew. Tire was a bridgestone h/l 684 ii that came on truck at time of purchase from Chevrolet dealership. Of course tires are not covered under warranty.

This was happening in cooler weather. I have a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. When starting the vehicle, the ignition key would stick in the start position and then return to the run position. This has happened probably half a dozen times. I see that there is a recall on older models, but apparently some newer ones , such as mine should be included.

Just bought the truck, first day or two drove slow no issues. Once I got comfortable driving around 65-70 mpg I start to get a vibration and shaking to the point it feels not safe at all. I looked up on the internet and tons of people are having this problem. Truck is brand new truck.

Drove home from dealer on highway, very noticeable pulsing vibration felt in gas pedal once I hit 65mph. Vehicle also "shakes" at a constant rate at 50mph, and more violently at 82-85mph. Drove up to 500 miles per dealers direction, problem still exists and has not gone away at all.

Vehicle has bad vibration ,I took it to dealer and they told me that it was normal but its not . I have call gm 3 times and email but they do nothing.

Severe vibrations at speeds between 58-70 mph. Vibrations pulsate. Vibrations travel through floor boards steering wheel and gas pedal. Truck was taken to dealership. Tires were rotated and balanced drive shaft was determined to be the problem. New drive shaft was ordered. Drive shaft installed yesterday. The vibrations is worse. Taken back to dealership today. Trip number three truck has only 1400 miles on it. Informed gm. They sent me back to the dealership with no solution.

I'm really disappointed in how my truck is rusting. It has the amount of rust that I would expect to see on a truck after 7 - 10 years. The truck's underbody including the frame is rusting everywhere. For a truck that has only 6,000 miles on it this is ridiculous. Whatever was sprayed on the frame is just peeling off in chunks. I had the dealership in anoka, main motors look at this when I got an oil change today and they agreed the rust is excessive but gm has told them to do nothing about it based on pi0281d. Gm claims this is supposed to be the most rust resistant truck ever.

After vehicle sits in hot sunlight for extended period of time, and ac is ran-- there is a loud "popping noise" from the center area of the dash. The sound is very similar to a rock or object hitting the windshield. This issue has continued and recently took vehicle in for other recall issue and had them check this. The service adviser first told me they duplicated the issue and would have to dismantled the dash for further diagnostics. The vehicle was in the shop for over a week, and they told me the issue seemed corrected. The completed service ticket indicates problem could not be duplicated or determined. The day I drove home from the shop the vehicle made this same noise three times. I will be taking vehicle to different gm dealer for follow up.

I noticed that the heater doesn't work in the truck when it is cold outside. Today it is 23 degrees and it didn't work. Seems the lower the speed of the fan the warmer the air is. It actually warmed up in the truck while driving when the fan speed was off.

Note: the truck would not crank two time before I started taking it to the dealer on the following dates. 1/21/14 truck would not crank, the sevice deptment could not find anything wrong 3/17/14 truck would not crank, towed to dealer, found body control module not working properly 3/24/14 truck would not crank, towed to dealer, found body control module not working properly this is getting old!!.

I brought my truck in for a vibration problem to the dealership that I purchased it from. The truck was muddy and the dealership told me that it was from all the mud on the truck. But they did not even wash the truck and test drive it. Then I brought it into a different dealership to have it check for the same thing. They forced balance my truck and they found something so they rotated my drive shaft 180 degrees and said it was fixed. About 30 days later it started again and brought it back to be checked. They forced balance it again and found a bad tire so they replaced the one tire while the other three tire had about 12,000 miles on them. So it happened again so brought it again for the 4th time for the same problem. They again forced balanced the truck and could not pin point the problem so the service manger took a 2015 Silverado 1500 and took off the tires and rims and put it on my truck. Not didn't fix it so they put all new shocks and strouts on it and told me it was fixed and they wanted to bring the truck to my home and I declined and I wanted to test drive the truck. I drove the truck with the service manager and found that it didn't change anything. So I asked him that I wanted an appointment with the district manager of gm. So when I meet with him in the service managers office with the service manager. The first thing out of the district managers was I am here to help you and the showed his true self. Within the first 9 minutes he asked me how I would fix the problem and then he told me to hire an attorney. Because that was the only way you are going to get the truck bought make from gm. After I left the office after 9 minutes I tried to make an appointment at the dealership I bought the truck and I had an appointment the following day. The same day the dealership informed that night that they couldn't see or work on my truck I called gm customer service.

The forward collision alert system is not safe. I have had this go off on me over 100 times in 25,000 miles and almost causing an accident a few times. The led on the dash will flash and the seat will vibrate causing you to react thinking you are getting ready to hit something. This occurs in 3 situations: 1) approaching an underpass while the sun is shining into the windshield, which is daily for me during my commute. 2) in a lane on the highway closest to the barrier wall, it thinks you are going to hit it head on I guess. 3) on a 2 lane side road with approaching cars are the are passing by on your drivers side. I have not been able to detect if this is due to the sunshine or head lights. So this causes a major alert reaction to you each time, this is a big safety issue as a reaction to nothing but alerts can cause an accident in itself.

I purchased a 2014 Silverado crew cab ltz z71 on August 16. Almost immediately it began having issues with the safety systems that were extra modules on this vehicle. Parking assist sensors do not work consistently, lane departure warning system fails to initialize or operate consistently and downhill grade breaking system fails to initialize or operate consistently, forward collision warning system fails to initialize and operate consistently. (I have photographs of the safety features failing). In addition, the heated/cooled seats (driver side) overheats with driver weighing 280 lbs - causing rear vent /exhaust covers to separate from the seat. Seat gets very hot- passengers in back of vehicle complain about extreme heat (again photographed failures) failures with safety system functionality are described by multiple owners of the same model truck (ltz) that I purchased. .

I was stopped at a red light when my vehicle was rear ended local police estimated other vehicle's speed to be 45-50mph upon impact.
