general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

Brake pedal was very hard to press down and was almost no response from brakes, brake assist service came on, vacuum pump failure, ot was replaced.

Note-we are visiting DE, but reside in virginia. I recently experienced problems with my "wheel speed sensor system" on my 2014 chevy silverado, lt, 5. 3l v8 4wd, crew cab. My local garage in DE (our condo is in DE- our home-residence is virginia) looked at the vehicle and said I was having a problem with the wheel speed sensors partially locking up my brakes and causing a drag when driving. The garage in newark, DE- littles garage told me that their system said there was a recall on my vehicle and that I'd need to have service done at a Chevrolet dealership at no cost. I went to 2 dealerships who stated my truck's VIN did not show up in their system as having any active recalls. Reading the recall notice, I see that gm contacted the dealerships directly (I guess not to make the recall public) who have/had sold this vehicle with instructions to contact owners directly; however, I purchased the vehicle in SC from a Ford dealership in 2017. Since recall # n192261050 is stated as a safety problem that could cause my truck to be a dangerous safety hazard that could cause serious damage and even death to occupants of the vehicle. I understand from my garage that the issue is intermittent once discovered, even as I have not experienced anything for about a week, and it can re-appear at any time. You can understand that I need the NHTSA to help me resolve this issue and if I am deserving of a recall fix, to help me with dealerships in DE. Nucar Chevrolet of new castle, DE has been recommended to me by littles garage as one of the best chevy dealerships. Note I am visiting DE and need to get back to virginia shortly (I'm hesitant to drive this vehicle at highway speeds). I appreciate any help to resolve these issues and to possibly help me to have a dealership in DE provide me the applicable safety fix in accordance with the subject recall.

I have not had any incidents thank goodness. But I did take it to the shop and they told me as the vacuum pump. It wouldn’t stop my vehicle and I was always nervous about hitting someone or causing an accident. Before then, I had change the breaking pad, taking it to the shop to check on their transmission and none of that was the problem. Please make a recall on this. People could cause or be involving in an accident. It mostly happened when I’m driving in slow between 2-5 miles per hour. It always scare me when backing out of my driveway because the brakes wouldn’t work. I do not have any pictures. I would rather take this to get fixed before causing an accident.

Driving in tucumcari new mexico coming up on a green light that turned from green to yellow to red. I pressed the brake pedal instead of the brakes doing their job in slowing down to come to a stop. The pedal pushed against my pressure a did not allow me to stop or slow down in anyway. Upon this brake failure it made me run the red light an t bone another car in the intersection. This brake failure has cost me my only transportation to work, which is in reno, nevada. Now gm has never reached out to speak with me about getting the issue resolved before this accident. Dealership never reached out to me or informed me of any recalls prior to the accident or when I made the purchase in 2024. No warning lights no indicators or on my dash to inform of any problems.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 20 mph, the vehicle started pulling to the left, requiring the contact to manually return the steering wheel to the center. The abs warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19v761000 (service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes, electronic stability control (esc); the VIN was included, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,400.

Recall 19v-645 / n192268490 was performed on my 2014 chevy silverado, prior to me purchasing the vehicle a month ago. A computer adjustment was completed in 2019. The vehicle has brake problems, vehicle will ease forward with brakes applied or while stopped. Upon re-applying brakes I have a hard brake pedal. Dealer stated that recall was completed and I will have to pay to get vehicle fixed. The problem I am experiencing with this vehicle is the same problem that was addressed in the original recall. Computer adjustment did not fix the problem and a new vacuum pump should be installed on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local gm dealer on 15 September 2025. . If problem is not addressed properly, the vehicle brakes would/could cause an accident, at low speeds or move forward while vehicle is stopped. With vehicle in reverse, braking is harder than in forward causing potential accident.

Brake pedal gets hard and brakes become inoperative.

Service trailer brake message constantly displays on the dash. But I don't haul trailers.

When going at low speeds like through a parking lot when I apply my brakes they get rock hard and do not want to stop. I can get it stopped but just barely. When going at normal driving speed 30mph plus they are fine and stop fine. I almost pulled into a car in a parking lot because I almost couldn't stop due to my brakes failing. This happens every time I go at low speeds 25mph and less.

The brake vacuum pump on the 2014-2018 chevy silverado has intermittent failures causing reduced brakes, which is a major safety issue. Gm has this listed under a "special coverage warrenty" instead of a recall and wont fix this because the warrenty ended 6/24 or 150k miles(mine onpy has 125k). Luckily I didn't have any traffic infront of me and the street light had just turned red and the cross traffic hadn't started to move yet. When I contacted gm about this I talked to 3 different representatives 2 were the initial points of contact, the first stated I would be reimbursed due to this being a safety issue, the second said the first was talking about a "general warrenty". . . ? the third was a supposed " supervisor who was obviously reading from a script and chose his words very carefully when telling me that because the speciap coverage warrenty was up gm wasn't going to do anything about this which is a leagal way of saying their are ok with this known issue on their trucks out in the world. Probably because it'll be cheaper to have their lawyers fight a lawsuit than to pay for the parts and labor to have this known safety issue fixed.

When at red lights, or in traffic, when you release the brake pedal to inch farther, and re-apply the brakes they go straight to the floor and you have to basically stand up on the brake pedal to finally stop. The truck slides and makes noises as it comes to stop. I was told these trucks in 2014 have a bad issue with the vacuum pump for the brakes.

The brakes feel squishy and it is difficult to stop at low speeds. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. Safety being put at risk by not being able to stop in time possibly causing crash. The truck was taken to a mechanic who found a code stating low vacuum pressure on brake booster but they could not find a leak anywhere and cleared the code. It is unknown if the component has been inspected by the manufacturer. Yes there has been a warning light before. It is unknown when exactly this problem started.

Service brake assist activated. Vacuum pump failure, there is no vacuum going to the brake booster from the vacuum pump mounted on the front of the engine block driven by belt pulley. Has code co299-00 brake booster large vacuum leak detected. Pump is not creating vacuum no vacuum going to booster for power brakes. This is a recall.

I was merging on to the expressway and my truck kept going to the left into traffic towards a concrete median. I turned my wheel to the right to try to avoid it and started to spin out and went back to the right side of the expressway which was four lanes wide and slammed into the guardrail. After the wreck I noticed my abs light was on I’m not sure if it came on as I was merging onto the expressway.

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.

Purchased the vehicle yesterday, I had it inspected and the service tech informed me the brake booster was not performing correctly. He said instead of going down as a brake the brake is snapped back to where it is not stopping and it can go completely out to where it will not stop. He informed me of a recall on the brake booster. The local gm dealer checked for the recall and stated the recall had been fulfilled by the previous owner. There's still a problem with the brake booster.

Was driving through the cities, when all of a sudden the brakes in my vehicle were suddenly not working. Being in heavy traffic doing 40mph, I veered off to the side of the road avoiding an accident. I exited the vehicle and inspected underneath for any broken/leaky brake lines. I then checked to see that I still had brake fluid. Everything seemed to be fine. There was no warning or indication with sound that the brakes were out or going bad. After entering the vehicle again the "service brakes" warning popped up on the dash. I called and had the vehicle taken to a shop. The auto shop stated that the vacuum pump was not working and also recommended to replace the brake booster pipe with the pressure switch.

Trailer brake driver display notification and alert tone frequently activated with no apparent cause with or without a trailer connected. Alert is so repetitive it becomes an audible and visual distraction to the driver. Manufacturer design restricted code readers at auto zone or o’reilly’s from identifying this problem and force owners to take vehicles to gm shops to identify the cause. The alerts and cause should be repaired under recall at no expense to the owner. I also have video to support.

I was driving with my kids in the truck because I just did school pick up I was aproaching a four way interection when I tried to stop and my break pedal was super stiff and found myself panicked I couldnt stop it almost caused an accident with a tractor trailer truck. I went up and over the curb into vacant parking lot in order to stop.

Brakes won’t work at low speeds, says online it was a recall at one point just don’t know if my VIN got missed.

My brakes do not compress all the way at low rpms and prevent me from being able to stop. Consistent with other vehicles we called for the same issue on the same year but for some reason my VIN doesn't come up in the recall.

I have been receiving a service warning for the "trailer brake system" for years and found a video online telling me to report it due to this being a gm issue.

Driving down the road lost power assisted power steering causing the the steering wheel to just turn and wheels stayed straight.

I started up and was backing out of my driveway. When I tried to slow the brakes felt weird shuddered a lot and then I had difficulty stopping. Service brake assist popped up on my screen. I slowly pulled into the driveway and when I tried to stop the truck shuddered and had a hard time stopping.

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.

When backing truck up & pressing brake, it feels "spongy" or like the brake is not working right and sometimes vehicle doesn't stop. I had mechanic inspect brakes & they reported no visible issues. They recommended for me to check for a recall relating to this issue.

The frame is completely rusted out. Parts are falling off of it, it rusted under the factory wax rust preventive coating. The abs system will brake the truck on its own without any warning lights.

Steering assist warning light comes on and vehicle shut down losing ability to steer or brake , vehicle wouldn’t start,tried to start the next day and vehicle started. Before warning light all lights flickered when applying brakes and other warning lights lit up!.

Breaks stop working at slow speed. Vacuum pump fails.

Using a signal for lane changes causes cruise control to disengage, suspension messages and air bag failure messages as well as tire failure icon would all come on and when leaving the exit ramp and decelerating the engine would die and system would lock up without ability to steer. So dangerous. Then next trip all is good but the engine failing while driving has happened a half dozen times. The last incident was another engine failure during an exit from the interstate in November.

Brake pedal gets hard under low speeds. Causes a stopping hazzard in parking lots and drive thrust. This year and model has been recalled for this, but my VIN is not coming up as a recall. I worry when I back my boat in the water that my truck wont stop.
