general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

I had 2 recalls done, one for power steering & one for brakes. My truck was not experiencing any problems before I had this recall done. The day I had it done I lost power steering while trying to park at home depot immediately after leaving dealership, almost causing me to hit the vehicle I was trying to park next to. Thinking it was a fluke, I drove it home afterwards & when I got on the highway to go home, I experienced a very loud metal on metal sound that only went away after applying the brakes. I don’t drive much since I work from home, however every time I drive it for 10 min or so, the sound came back followed by increased braking pressure to stop, also almost causing multiple accident and any time I was driving slow & trying to make tight maneuvers or turning my wheel too park or go through roundabouts I would lose power steering. I took it back to the dealership & was told the serpentine belt was not installed properly & they replaced the vacuum pump for the brakes. Told that the steering & brakes were fixed and after starting I wasn’t taking it back until it’s verified fixed by test driving for more than just a few minutes & parked multiple times, I was told it was ok. I went straight home & while on the highway, the sound reappeared & didn’t go away & pulling into my driveway, the steering failed again. I left multiple messages that weren’t returned & while recently on the hwy, I was hearing the sound & had play in the wheel, I slammed on the brakes after a semi almost hit me & my truck shook like it was falling apart & I called 800# scared to drive & I had difficulty steering & breaking & with no way to get home I had to drive it & took it to the dealership again & now they’re telling me I have to pay for diagnostics & I refuse to pay chevy a dime since my truck was fine until chevy’s incompetent mechanic made my truck unsafe to drive. They deleted my dash cam videos also. I have numerous videos showing everything.

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.

Headlights and park lights keep blow the bulbs both sides an the brake pedal gets hard as a rock and started pushing back up to me just does it at low speeds and backing up at low speed.

I almost got in a wreck this morning. I turned down a street lost power, brakes and steering all at once. This has been happening ever since I bought this truck. Thank god the vehicle behind me was traveling at a safe distance. The system says I have no recalls but I continue to read issues involving total loss of power on 2014 chevy silverado‘s? what’s it gonna take for chevy to own this mistake?.

Brake pedal went hard almost got into accident in traffic. Took truck to my mechanic vacuum pump was bad. Had to replace pump 350 dollar job.

The trailer brake warning has began to beep almost nonstop at times whether trailering or not. Even sitting in the driveway.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed down to the floorboard, but the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle slowed down and came to a stop with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The failure occurred on 4 separate occasions. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired; however, the contact replaced the brake pads. The contact stated that on another occasion, while driving 55 mph, the vehicle lost motive power, the steering wheel locked, and lost functionality. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle and the vehicle returned to normal functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that on another occasion while driving 55 mph, the a/c stopped functioning as intended. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with a coolant leak. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

While approaching stoplight stepped on brakes and had zero braking power. Coasted to service company they confirmed no braking power. They determined vacuum was bad and replaced.

Low speed brake failure and brakes became hard to press.

The 2014 and up Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models are notorious for electrical issues and bugs, some may have been recalled but other were not included in that recall while still having the same issues, these vehicles have major electrical system issues, from bad battery cables, down to every control module associated with the truck, over time salt, sand, mud, moisture disrupts certain key areas of the electrical wiring harness underneath the vehicle, general motors knows about this but fails to recall these vehicles, it creates a very serious matter when you have no traction control, or any abs function, along with loss of power steering assist. These control systems can be life and death when they are not working!. Gm needs to address these issues and recall all 2014+ silverado’s and alike for these electrical issues relating to “loss of communication with the ecm, bcm, tcm, ebcm, tccm, pscm, etc. These are costly break downs and these modules are very expensive to just throw in and hope it fixes the issue, most dealers don’t want to trace wiring issues and will just tell the customer cannot replicate which leaves us vulnerable. Some customers state their vehicles will randomly shut off while driving, others report their truck going into “limp home mode”. Nobody can seem to centralize a specific area where the problems are occurring but believe it has something to do with the material and the way the harness was made.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds, the brakes failed to engage to stop the vehicle immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that he had to pay out of pocket for the repair. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Seat belt anchor broke replaced under warranty but replaced with same defective parts and broke again. Dealer refused to repair without payment of $160. 00. Fan belt for air pump brakes you have no brakes to stop truck. A/c condenser defective from factory leaks at seams burns out compressor. Gm refuses to recall and dealer charges $1800. 00 to repair. I've repaired all these problems on my own except for seat belt anchor.

The trailer brake system is malfunctioning.

When I’m driving at slow speeds, the brakes feel real squishy and hard to stop.

While driving down the road a service alert comes up on the dash advising "service trailer brake system". This alert is extremely distracting and will not go away while hitting the "dismiss" button. To my knowledge the trailer brake system on this vehicle has never been used. Gm shoukd take full responsibility of this problem and issue a recall. Failure to do so could result in future vehicle accidents from people being distracted from this obnoxious alarm from a faulty part. I would supply a picture or video of the alarm but using my camera while driving would only add to the already present danders associated with this issue. Thanks for your time.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal while driving at slow speeds, the vacuum pump failed to operate as designed causing the brake pedal to either harden or depress to the floorboard. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that excessive effort was needed to stop the vehicle. The contact had to depress the brake pedal with both feet to stop the vehicle. The contact discovered that his vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact took the vehicle to be serviced under the recall; however, upon return of the vehicle, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.

The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The brakes have a hard pedal with no brakes at low speed . In reverse have to apply lots of pressure to brake pedal, and this does not always work. I read there is a recall. I want to get repaired before an accident occurs. This is on going, not just the date below.

I believe my 2014 silverado has a recall for the vacuum brake pump. I just purchased the truck a month ago and I noticed when I take off in drive or reverse and hit the brake pedal it doesn’t want to move and becomes stiff. It has almost caused me to have 2 accidents now. After doing research and looking things up I have come to know there as a recall on these trucks for the vacuum brake pump and I don’t think this truck has ever been fixed for it. I would like to get this fixed before it causes an accident.

Truck has rough breaking at low speeds. It’s due to the break pump recall on this make, year and model. The break pump also makes a clicking sound when engine is running. Common in these trucks.

Brake vacuum pump is failing creating an unsafe condition while braking when the vehicle is in a low rpm range. I had a close call while backing down a sloping driveway at my home in which it was almost impossible to stop the vehicle. The pedal provided a lot of resistance but the vehicles braking power was greatly reduced. Ultimately I had to use all my strength on the pedal for the vehicle to stop. After continual issues, I am in the process of getting the vehicle repaired. Thank goodness this didn’t occur while backing a boat into the water. I have not been able to use a boat for fear of ending up in the lake.

My vehicle lost the ability to apply brakes or slow down, the vehicle had a rock hard peddle at low speed. There was no illuminated light on the dashboard no warning! I barely avoided a collision and scraped my truck driving off the road to try and stop it. The issue is worst at lower rpm!.

Multiple gm vehicles have an error with the traction control system that they cannot diagnose and continuously dismiss to cover their mistakes. Many makes and models report warnings to service stabilitrak and service breaks along with numerous other warnings. After the warning, drivers are experiencing power failure, locking steering wheels, wrecks, exponential costs for investigations, and temporary fixes. Gm will not release any information on investigations into this matter. Gm technicians can not adequately diagnose the issue and will say there is a grounding problem, traction control module needs to be reset, replace the battery, and many other bogus repairs to temporarily fix the problem. How many people will have to experience these mechanical errors that can cause serious wrecks or fatalities before NHTSA or gm will investigate? all gm owners should be absolutely disappointed and disgusted with the response from the safety measures put in place to "protect us. ".

Towing 16ft stock trailer with 2 calves- turning left onto another 2 lane road which was downhill, engine shut off during turn, power steering went out, had truck brakes pressed to floor, trailer brakes didn't react. Took everything I had to turn the steering wheel to keep from going off embankment on both sides of road. Finally got stopped when road flattened out. Thank goodness no oncoming vehicle!!! message on dash to roll up drivers side window. Truck restarted! truck only has 60100 miles. What is going on with this truck? I could have injured myself or someone else? thank you in advance for allowing me to voice what happened today 6/28/21.

Brake padel still rock hard at low speeds even after the so called fix for this issue that gm did for the previous recall.

Brakes seem to sputter/skip when applying when traveling above 40 mph. I had an inspection done with brake masters. They inspected brake pads, rotors and performed a road test. They stated brakes pads and rotors were still good about another year left. They did say brakes sputtered at about 40 mph and over. They thought it could be issue with brake vacuum system thanks.

At low speed the power brakes no longer work. The brake pedal has to be pushed to the floor in order to stop. The pedal does not return to its original position and remains soft/spongy and pushed in. Almost caused an accident when this was first discovered.

My 2014 chevy silverado when backing down boat ramp break pedal will go all the way to the floor. I almost lost my whole truck an boat. This just started . I have little over 33 thousand miles on truck.

When stopping at slow speeds in stop and go traffic my abs would kick on and the power breaks would not work and I would need to press the break pedal very hard to stop. Only seems to happen in stop and go traffic at slow speeds but it's super scarey.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brakes failed to engage properly when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer and repaired under the unknown recall however, the failure occurred 4 months later. The vehicle was then taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with the brake assist pump needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

Vehicle starts to shake when driven above 70mph. If brakes are applied to reduce speeds from 75-70 the shaking significantly increases, but decreases to the normal shaking once the brakes are released.

My vehicle VIN does not seem listed for recall gm no. N192268490 or was serviced. Yet, I continue to experience intermittent loss of braking power, especially at slow speeds such as after shifting from drive to reverse for parking, or backing out of a parking space. Much more pressure is required to stop as if loss of power resulting in manual-only braking. This seems to go away when the vehicle is shut off and restarted. Prior to recall, the issue previously resulted in $3000 damage to another family vehicle parked on our private property.

When I try to use my brakes they feel like there's no pressure and I have to pump brakes repeatedly to stop. Also feel a little vibration. This does happen every time. Mostly when I'm trying to slow down to park it or stop at a light.
