I bought this 2014 silverado new. The headlights are fogging up on the inside which makes it unsafe to drive at night. Also , the steering wheel is coming apart around the air bag , which may get in the way of me safely steering it or might cause the air bags to deploy. This vehicle is stored in a climate controlled enviroment every day. It does not sit outside, so the sun had nothing to do with this. I contacted gm and they said they would'nt help me. Please help as this is a safety issue not being able to see at night. Thanks. This vehicle only has 26000 miles on it. I own several gm vehicles , but this is the only one I have had trouble with.
Cruise control will shut off when using turning signal or rolling up windows. It is very dangerous in busy interstate traffic. Service stabli track and steering assist reduced will come up on display. Power steering is intermittent when turning. Headlights flicker when turning signals are used. Truck will completely shut down for a split second while driving then everything comes back on, complete loss of control when this happens. When knob for headlights is turned from auto to on position the dash and instrument panel gets dim and stabli track and reduced steering assist message comes on. Rear passenger door will not lock using fob, sometimes I will have to hit the unlock button multiple times before door will unlock after lock has been manually pushed down. Passenger seat belt ding is also intermittent, sometimes it will not work at all. My truck just now started having all of these issues at the exact same time. We drove from texas to kentucky and back to texas and these issues all started during this trip. It is not safe for my family, I have always bought Chevrolet and currently own this truck and a tahoe but they may be my last. All bulbs are good, all fuses and relays are good. Truck now has 66000 miles on it. Battery was replaced around 59000 miles. Seems to be a wiring or ecm (computer) issue to me. I see many complaints similar to mine but yet no recalls have been issued for my VIN number.
Stabilitrak light kicks on and off, steering wheel locks up and shudders when turning at low speeds, headlights and dashlights blink like the trucks about to lose power. Searching online it looks like there is a device bulletin that fixes these issues, but I shouldnt have to pay for a safety and common issue with this truck. Pit5405a is the bulletin number.
Headlights flicker, radio head unit flickers, error messages (service stablitrak, traction control off, reduced steering assist) doors occasionally will lock and unlock and then truck will shut off all together. Steering wheel randomly jerk out of your hands. Somebody will end up dead if this issue is not fixed, and recalled. Very common through my research in 2014 silverados/sierra's.
Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds and making a left or right turn, the power steering seized and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the electronic stability-trac warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that when the indicator was activated, the headlights flashed in unison with the indicator light. The contact stated that the failures were intermittent. The contact stated that the failure started after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). The vehicle was taken to ryan Chevrolet located at 1101 oliver rd, monroe, la 71201, (318) 387-2222, to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000. Ah.
Two times tonight with two different vehicles in two different locations. Current generation chevy silverado "low" beam headlights are extreme danger to oncoming traffic. When being approached by current (2014 & newer) silverados the oncoming drivers "dimmed" their lights resulting in no change to the blinding light approaching me. The only way I could tell that the drivers "dimmed" their lights was the change from 4 oncoming lights to 2 oncoming lights, the blinding intensity remained the same. This marks the umpteen-thousandth time I have been completely blinded by current generation silverado "low" beam headlights. I might as well drive with my eyes closed because I am totally blind after meeting an oncoming current generation silverado.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving in rainy weather, the headlights became foggy and obstructed the contact's vision. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the cause of the failure was unable to be determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,000.
I have had this issues happen numerous times. The first I was backing up into a parking spot and my service stabilitrak warning came on, and my steering wheel started jerking left and right on its own. 2nd time I was pulling into my parents drive way and warning came on while turning causing truck to jerk and I almost hit the corner of the house. A 3rd time happened again reversing but this time my headlights dimmed and I had multiple service warnings pop up. A 4th time I was again about to reverse. I was able to straighten up and while in reverse and foot on brake, I would turn steering wheel and it would jerk back to center on its own. I took video of that accurance. While driving on the highway yesterday night. I noticed my headlights kept going dim then bright. While in cruise control going 75mph I moved left to pass a vehicle, when I turned right signal on to come back to lane my cruise disengaged. This happend 5 times. Before one of the occurrences while in cruise I tapped the brake to slow down, and my volt gauge dropped to 10 or so and the headlights almlst shut off and all lights in cab flikered on and off. It almost felt like the truck was about to turn off but didn't. Last issue, a few times I have tried to start the truck and the anti theft deterant comes on and I have to try numeros times to get truck to start.
After driving in any type of moisture (rain, snow, sleet) the highbeam lights have condenstation covering most or all of the lens inside. This moistue will vary based on the miles driven and intensity of the snow or rain regardless if highway or city driving. It does appear worse with highway driving. Chevrolet says "this is normal and we will only replace headlight assembly if there is standing moisture. The highbeams are functioning as designed. " this moisture does inhibit the lumins or light coming from the highbeams.
Intensity and coverage of headlights is terrible. The high beams are dim and there is no side coverage to allow seeing the edge of the road. I went into the ditch when trying to avoid oncoming cars and nearly hit a jogger.
The factory headlights on the 2014 Chevrolet 1500 series pickup are a safety concern and hazard. The low beam setting is extremely dim and when the roads are wet or at dawn/dusk it feels that you are traveling with the parking lights on. The high beams project well, but disperse quickly. I have owned a 1987 GMC sierra, a 2000 Chevrolet 1500, and a 2002 GMC sierra all of which had perfect illumination systems. Gm outfitted the 2014 with a safety hazard. Most of my driving occurs in the arctic, which 6 months of the year is practically dark most of the day. I have almost hit 3 moose this month because I could not see the road ahead under high beam or low beam. I am upgrading my headlight assembly to the cost of $450. 00 because it is important to see on our remote roads in alaska. I love the truck in every other aspect, but the stock headlights are going to get someone killed. Thanks.
