general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the transmission failed to respond as intend. The contact pulled over to the right side of the road to wait for tow truck assistance. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had been repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 14v152000 (power train); but the repair failed to fix the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had occurred after the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 127,000.

Why is/was there no investigation in to the torque converters in these vehicles? I have the 5. 3l v8. Took it to a tranny shop and he has five on his lot, same transmission same generation all same issue. He says they start eating themselves and he has a few with only five digit mileage that he still needs to fix. A guy in my firehouse is a parts manager for a chevy dealership and knows the part number for the transmission off the top of his head because they fly through them and he has 19 in stock. Luckily I'm a good driver and when the transmission gave out on the highway I was able to control and get over without my kids getting hurt. But that is two shops confirming this is an issue. It's a safety issue. An expensive safety issue. There's even a tranny guy on facebook that says the same thing because these are mostly all he works on. I'm a bit shocked you all allowed this to pass through. Granted the shop said the american made parts in the torque converters are the ones failing, so it would look bad. But my kids could have been hurt if my wife was driving and couldn't control the truck. This is an epic failure. Five digit mileage trucks coming in for the same issue. He told me to keep up whatever maintenance I'm doing because coming in at 130k is the second highest he has seen.

I am writing to report a significant mechanical failure with my 2014 Chevrolet silverado, which I believe warrants further attention due to its potential safety implications and its connection to a widely documented defect affecting many gm vehicles equipped with active fuel management (afm) systems. The engine suffered lifter and camshaft failure. This is a well-known problem with gm trucks using afm systems and can pose a safety hazard, particularly if the vehicle stalls while driving. Failed component: the engine’s valve lifters and camshaft failed. The components and repair documentation are available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: this failure caused loss of power while driving, creating a risk of stalling in traffic, which could endanger both myself and other drivers on the road. Confirmed diagnosis: the issue was confirmed by the dealership where I service my truck, team Chevrolet in las vegas, nv. They identified the lifter and camshaft failure as the source of the symptoms. Inspection history: the vehicle has been inspected and diagnosed by the repair facility. I reported my concerns directly to general motors and formally requested goodwill assistance and an extended warranty to cover the repairs. However, gm denied my goodwill and extended warranty request despite widespread reports and tsbs. Warning signs: these warning signs began to show June, 2025 after picking it up from the service department at team Chevrolet as it had been serviced. The truck was taken back to the dealership within 30 minutes of picking it up.

Over the course of ownership the chassis of this vehicle has gotten horrendously corroded, which has caused structural components of the frame to begin to develop rust holes needing repair. These holes in the chassis are caused by the incorrect application of the factory chassis wax coating and has caused the entire frame to become deeply rusted through in many areas. Additionally I have been through two transmissions, the first occurring at around 55,000 miles of use, and the second around 105,000 miles. Seems there is a point of failure after around 50,000 miles on these transmissions.

Transmission failure along with over heating an also grounding wire issues dash lights flickering along with headlights, and truck shutting off while driving loosing power steering!!!!.

The automatic shifting gears from v4 to v8 is causing a hard shift, now the vehicle will not go into v4 at all.

While driving on the interstate my truck starting slowing down fast and the engine rpm's went up. I pulled to the side and restarted the truck I would start driving then the truck would do the exact same thing. While all this was happening there was a burning smell in the truck. I brought the truck to an automotive mechanic and the found the transmission was bad. It is a very common problem with 2014 Silverado 1500 trucks with the 6 speed transmission.

On March 15, 2024 my 2014 Chevrolet silverado lt pickup while I was driving the steering suddenly got hard to steer then the engine shut off , I had very little brakes and steering, then it wouldnt start back after I got stopped. Thank goodness I didnt hit anyone, after a few minutes it started and I carefully drove home, it was fine until may 09, 2024 I was going to a dr appointment and when I turned in the drive the steering got really hard and the engine almost died and when I turned it off it wouldnt start back all power was dead after I tried it several times it finally started but the stereo and dash lights were not working correct,I contacted gm and they told me that my truck had been recalled for this problem and they reset the computer module but thats all they were going to do. This didnt fix it and I want them to fix my truck because this is a very serious problem and could cause me to wreak and possibly kill someone or myself. Please help me with this matter to get gm to fix it.

Don't get gears skipping gear.

Transmission failure. At 140,000 miles, metal flakes in the pan. This could cause an accident and I've done some research and found multiple people with this same issue between 2012 and 2016. Also, a transmission shouldn't be needing to change at this amount of miles. Also, I bought this vehicle used with this problem.

Going into neutral on its own almost causing a accident and slipping. Yes inspected by service department. No warning.

The 6l80 is known for there bad parts and going out. The transmissions are braking down on accout of poor craftsmanship and cheap parts. Plus my truck is shutting off and back on while driving which caused me to rear-end another truck and not one air bag deployed and it pushed the other trucks bumper all the way under his tail gate and my front bumper has enough damage that the airbags should've went off.

I had been driving for about 45 minutes. When I was driving and hit a speed of 50 mph, it felt like my truck was on a bumpy road and I could hear the banging and feel the hesitation and shakes. Then it felt like I was being hit by another vehicle at low speed. When I slowed down below 50, it seemed to have stopped. But when I stopped to get gas it started back up again. Because I was at least 30 miles from home, I called my husband and he told me to drive back home immediately. It seems to be getting worse and at lower speeds. This is my only source of transportation as I am disabled and cannot afford the ridiculous amount they want to just diagnose it.

Afm lifters failure: - during the afm activation and deactivation the lifters on my truck were observed to be collapsed causing the engine to malfunction. Transmission/torque converter: clunking noise when shifting between gears makies noise when the gear is in neutral rough shifting “chevy shake” - my truuk shakes violently while driving over 35 miles per hour, tires, alignment, etc was been tripple checked and replaced, dealer states it is within spec (even the shacking).

The transmission and transfer case malfunctioned and then failed. It was out in 4wd low to grab a trailer out of our field and I pulled back onto the driveway, put the truck back into neutral, and lost all gears. The truck wouldn’t shift or move at all. Purchased a transfer case motor and installed, but the truck would barely move so I hauled it to a shop for further inspection. Upon inspection of the vehicle I was told that the transmission needs replacing. When the truck initially stopped shifting out of neutral it rolled down the hill and I had to run after it before it hit my fiancé and dog. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than myself and the certified technicians at the shop I towed it to. There were no warning lamps or messages or anything else until after the new transfer case motor was installed at the shop. Then the “service 4wd” warning came on. The truck will now shift itself into neutral when it is driven.

The vehicle is now at 158,109 mi as of January 5th 2024 at approximately 148,000 to 152,000 mi I noticed the transmission and or the rear differential starting to slip have play and making various noises and sounds along with a jerking feeling where you would hit the gas and you could see the tachometer wind up a little bit and then when it seems the gears would catch or however it works it would jerk you forward with a bang feeling like somebody hit you from behind but there's no one back there a few times I would hit the gas to leave from a stop and merge into traffic and the vehicle would not move at all until 2 or 3 seconds had passed for the engine and transmission to finally catch up with each other or something I've noticed many recalls and problems on these transmissions as well as the same issues on a previous chevy silverado 2014 I had prior to this one I'm very concerned that at some point I'm going to try and enter a traffic situation and not be able to have forward motion taking a chance on being part of a collision due to the vehicle not moving forward as required when you hit the gas pedal. I've noticed signs of fluid around my rear differential cover I continuously check the fluid in the transmission it is always fine I would like to have it checked out as the engine is an excellent motor with no obvious problems I take care of it changing the oil and performing maintenance regularly as expected and required.

Vehicle will start flashing stability control and starts jerking from passenger side. Along with vehicle randomly shutting off while traveling and turning back on with steering wheel slanted (wheels not aligned) and saying “ power steering reduced, drive with care”.

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.

Braking system!!! yes avaliable for inspection anytime. When traveling no matter the speed when applying the brakes no matter the situation the brakes dont work the pedal feels real hard to push for a man of my stature 6'1" 265 pds. 1st time was getting home and the pedal goes hard and brakes dont work. This has happened numerous numerous times in drive thrus, intersections, stop lights and stop sign's, home almost taking out the garage door almost running my kids over!!!! hugh problems respectively if that were to ever happen. This is a manufacturer problem and owner nightmares that needs to be fixed before serious injuries happen. . . 2ndly, the engine lifters &transmission is another hugh problem for a person who works extremely hard for everthing he owns and takes care of his vehicle very meticulously because of how hard I worked for every penny to buy my all-time favorite trucks!!! ive owned many silverado's over my 47yrs of life and never have I been so disappointed in a vehicle for manufacturer flaws at the purchaser's expense!!!!! and we the purchaser's are not talking nickles and dimes either!!!!! thousands after we paid hard earned tens of thousands to purchase the xxxxxx of xxxx and it kills me to say that but its what I feel after a lifetime of loyalty to silverado's and the people that manufacture them. You must address every major problem and yyyooooouuuu know what they are!!!!! if a recall is not done for no fault of ours the loyal people that love our trucks I will not for the rest of my days on this beatiful planet ever by a gm product again. And I believe so many loyal others will follow suit. Do what's right and we all win in the end. Or you, yes you, will lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stand behind your product like we have, some all our lives or may carma have its way with you and we will stand by just as you and do nothing. As for the important questions that come after this section it has been happing for years! thanks 4your money sorry about your luck.

The torque converter has failed and less then 200,000 miles. It has caused damage to valves in the transmission. It is only on the 6l80 transmissions from gm. I have had coleman taylor which is a transmission shop in tennessee look at it. They have informed me that it is the most common issue they see with that particular transmission before the failure should occur. I have spoken to multiple people with Chevrolet silverado trucks with varying years from 2014- 2018 having to have transmissions rebuilt or replaced as soon as 70,000 miles all the way up to 150,000 for the same failure. The safety concern for myself and others on the road is the transmission can suddenly lock up due to the transmission failing. I have spoken with express Chevrolet in covington TN the service department informed myself that there was no active recall but they feel that there should be. There was no warning that this was going to happen. The truck and transmission are sitting at my home currently and available for inspection at your earliest convenience.

The transmission at less then 150,000 miles grinds and causes a vibration through the steering wheel. It is available for inspection if need be. There was no sign of this failure before it happened. It has made the truck unsafe to operate because of it were to fail it would cause a complete loss of power to the drive shaft, and currently is causing intermittent power loss to the drive shaft. It has been inspected by a local Chevrolet dealership as well as an independent transmission shop that both confirmed the torque converter has begun to fail. The local dealership as well as the transmission shop have both stated they have had a large number of trucks with the same issue come in over the last year. The service manager at the dealership even informed me that there should be a recall put out for the issue. I have even put in a complaint to gm and there was nothing done about the issue. I went back and forth with them for months.

Heavy smell of gasoline in the cab and the bed of my truck as well as outside of the truck began on February 23, 2023. The truck is also harder to turn over or start since the smell has begun. Due to the gasoline smell, it is causing a nauseous feeling, severe headaches, coughing and a red flush over my wife’s face when she is in the truck. The transmission line leak has been leaking for quite some time and I have to replace the transmission fluid a least a quart of fluid every two weeks. I was not notified of the safety recalls for the fuel pump pressure regulator and the transmission oil cooler line leak/ fire danger on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I have taken my truck to be assessed by the Chevrolet dealer on 03/13/2023, and they determined that my truck does indeed have both of these safety recall problems but that they will not repair them. They stated it is a closed recall and my 95k+ miles were too high. The safety recall bulletin #14121 and #13370a both state no mileage limitation and declare my make and model affected by these safety failures. I have paid off the loan to my truck early only to be unable to drive it safely or enjoy it. I have never been late on any of my payments and was proud to pay it off early. This model truck has had several recalls including an incident with the front wheel falling off due to a mechanical failure, that was shocking and frightening when it happened after only owning it for approx. 2 years. With the fuel leaking and carbon monoxide, and the transmission fluid leaking, the dealer should take responsibility and repair these problems that they know are a safety and fire issue as stated in the recall bulletins and make my vehicle operable again. I am only asking that the dealership provide me with the repairs they said are needed to the failures caused by improper installations and or faulty equipment from the manufacturer as stated in the safety bulletin recalls.

#1. 2 days after purchase left rear tire was replaced because of out of round #2. 11/2/21 rear brake pads and rotors were worn to the metal replaced by ourisman Chevrolet #3. 7/14 /22 front struts leaking where replaced by eds body and paint #4. 10/11/22 rear axle pinion seal, transfer case front output shaft seal, oil pan all leaking replaced by jba Chevrolet #5. 11/3/23 front differential leak and coolant hose leak not replaced. Dealership claimed (in writing 11/25/22) upgrade to warranty to cover repairs but was denied by warranty company.

While driving at highway speeds at about 73mph the rear end of the truck will shake and has caused the rear end to start to fishtail while still driving straight is the road is even slightly wet.

Vehicle less than 150,000 miles and transmission hasn't held up. Vehicle isn't driven hard its my daily driver to work. Transmission temperature exceeding 200 degrees on a short drive, hard shifting into 1,2,3,4 gears. I have done my research looking into other people that have had this trouble and it has become a well known problem with these vehicles. Everyone is experiencing trouble from the torque converters to the gears, and clutches. Its terrible that we are spending 10's of thousands of dollars on a vehicle that will not even hold up to 150,000 miles. These transmissions needs to be recalled and replaced. I have also done further extensive research that shows that from the gm bulletin you can find documentation that shows that the 6l80 transmissions have problems with this exact issue. This bulletin was published in June of 2020. If gm has listed 13 different models of 6l80 transmissions in different vehicles that are having such problems. Why hasn't this been recalled to make it right to the customers who have these vehicles. We are being ripped of our hard earned money and left with vehicles that are extremely expensive to have repaired or forced to let them go back or have no option but to trade it in and still be left with lots to pay on these vehicles.

Transmission quit working at 125195 miles. When I called around to chevy dealers, this is a common problem for this particular year and model. Dealer said it would cost close to $7,000 to replace with a different transmission to resolve the problem. They did not put the same make/model transmission into the truck - they put a different one due to the issues the original transmissions are having. We spent a significant amount of money to get the transmission replaced. The transmission needed to replace the bad one was on backorder - due to the demands. I personal feel that chevy should have recalled the bad transmission and the cost of the repairs should have been covered by the manufacturer. I am a woman and this could have been very dangerous had the transmission quit on the highways in portland, oregon while commuting to or from work. Please look into this. I would like chevy to reimburse us for the repairs we paid. I have an invoice of $4,690. Thankfully it quit a few blocks from my home. I had to have the truck towed to the dealer. That was an additional expense.

Transmission failed because of faulty torque converter at roughly 95,000 miles. Now the same failure has occurred at 115,000 miles. This type of failure is unsafe if it were to happen in heavy traffic or crossing an intersection. Gm refuses to acknowledge the issue and demands a certified dealership diagnose the issue. I maintain my right as a consumer to use a private repair shop. They will not investigate any further with my report, without their service department, which is biased and a conflict, providing the diagnosis.

I was driving as I usually do , this time I was in my car I had just financed and bought 3 weeks before. There was no signs or warning lights before this incident. I was driving when suddenly it wouldn’t go in to gear or any gear at all and realized my transmission was failing . I then drove it and tried to get to safe spot trying to avoid any crashes delays or other accidents. I was glad to be close by to a safe spot and not going at a fast speed on freeway or main street when this occurred and avoided an accident. My truck was then towed into the dealership mechanics and was waiting for a report and turns out the truck needs a transmission replacement. During the transmission tear down and inspect they found clutch assembly gear 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse plates all damaged. Plates missing teeth and burnt. Excessive metal inside torque converter, and valve body. Clutch drum damaged and burnt. I am now just researching recalls for 2014 Chevrolet silverado and realized that there is a recall for power train on transmission. Stated “the subject vehicles may have a transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in the fitting. ” and the recall consequence is “if the line is not securely seated and transmission oil leaks from the fitting, the oil could contact a hot surface and cause a vehicle fire. ” by reading my experience with my trucks transmission failing and having multiple parts inside “burnt” has me wondering if my truck was part of this recall and how worse it could have been if it would have caught in fire. My dealership failed to mention any problems and stated they “take every vehicle through a mechanical inspection and smog saftey. ” I can’t believe only 3 weeks of having this truck and no warning signs and to just completely just shut off and have the transmission destroyed/burnt is a horrible experience.
