On October 29, 2022, I auto-started my 2014 silverado on a chilly morning. I got in the vehicle approximately 5 minutes later and turned on the ignition. As soon as I turned on the ignition I heard what sounded like a gunshot and I smelled electrical burning. I then realized that the passenger side of my back sliding window had shattered. The rear defroster also smelled like an electrical fire. Upon doing research I found that this is a known issue in the 2014-2019 silverado's which I was never notified about. I purchased the vehicle used in March of 2021 from basil Chevrolet in fredonia, NY. There is currently a full recall in canada because of the dangerous issue but not in the united states. I reached out to the dealership and Chevrolet but they refuse to do anything about it. I have yet to have the back window replaced and it is taped up but available for examination.
Remoted started truck to defrost windows, driver side backglass made a loud bang sound and shattered.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the windshield wipers made an abnormal sound and failed to operate when activated. There was no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.
Display screen goes blank no backup camera. Could last hours.
Rear window leaking, water coming in on rear seat & roof.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Immediately after the rear window defroster was activated, the driver immediately noticed smoke coming from the window. Moments after deactivating the defroster, the window suddenly shattered. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer provided case number: 5726629104. The local dealers was not notified. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unknown.
On the evening of 12/17/19 I remotely started the vehicle and it warmed up for probably two minutes. We started driving and smelled something burning and an electrical arcing sound. Immediately I turned off the rear defrost as that is where the smoke came from and the driver side rear window exploded. Luckily the three kids in the back seat were not injured and we didn't end up in a traffic accident, and got parked safely. After some research there are plenty of other gm customers who have experienced the same problem, and in canada a TSB advising to remove the fuse to the rear defrost to prevent this event from happening. It seems that this potentially could've been prevented saving me a good scare and a window replacement at $840. 00.

I was driving straight down the interstate, when there was a loud pop/bang from above my head. The sunroof had exploded. The cover was shut which kept the glass from coming the cab. The some of the glass went flying into the truck of the bed. I was nowhere near an overpass or anything that could have fallen on it.
During a recent cold spell I was driving my 2014 silverado home with the re defroster on. Randomly I started hearing a whistling sound, then when I reached my home I saw that the rear window (to the driver side of the sliding window) had randomly shattered leaving glass pieces on the tonneau cover and had fallen in on my daughters car seat. There was no impact or other event that precipitated the shattering, but after opening and closing the door the hole has spread and more glass continues to fall out.
Fuel pump/fuel pressure sensor failure at 34000 miles. Driving vehicle at 40mph and suddenly engine warning light came on and truck died. Lost all power and could barely pull to side of road in busy traffic. Driving on state hwy 15 north bound. Fortunately my wife was able to control the pickup. Dealer repaired and said it was a relatively common problem. Second complaint was wiper failure in heavy snow/wind on county hwy 29 brown cty mn. Fuse block corroded and caused failure. Travelling at 55mph when failure occurred. Managed to drive home (2 miles) with out incident but very dangerous. The part was described by the dealer as the bcm fuse block. Both of these problems were life threatening.
I am the 2nd owner and have only owned it for 10 months. I have frequently heard cracking/popping noises while driving, but no other traffic near, and no damage to windshield. This morning, I got in the truck and noticed a very large crack in the windshield. As I haven't ever hit a rock in this truck, I was very curious. Upon closer inspection, there is zero evidence of any external factors that would have caused such a large and spontaneous crack to appear while I was in bed sleeping last night. To be fair, I haven't reported it to a dealer yet since I just found the crack this morning, but that will be my next step, although I'm highly pessimistic that they will be willing to do anything about (what appears in my opinion to be) a defective windshield. My very first search on the internet led me to many many other consumers who have reported the same problems (mysterious crack/pop sounds when no other traffic is around, or driving slowly, and sudden/spontaneous cracks with no associated damage to the glass. To be clear, this crack appeard over night while I was sleeping!.

On June 3, 2018 upon cranking the truck, the a/c began blowing extremely hot air to the point it left a red mark across my hand after feeling for the vent waiting for the temperature to cool down. It was 90 degrees outside and raining so windows couldn't be rolled down. Windshield remained foggy due to humidity within the truck and I had to pull over frequently when driving in order to wipe the windshield to be able to see. Two children in the backseat of the truck, one in a rear facing car seat were beyond over heated and well on their way to heat exhaustion by the time we reached the dealership due to temperatures reaching above 95 within the cab. Truck was seen at dealership and was advised due to vibration from driving, the a/c discharge hose was cracked allowing the heat from the engine to be blown directly into the cab of the truck. Hose was replaced ad a bracket added to improve the stability of the hose and refrigerant added. Eight months and 4 days later, a/c suddenly began blowing hot air again. Was advised at the dealership that the high side service port was now leaking and needed a valve replacement and refrigerant added again.
A/c only blows hot air, cannot defog windows at certain times and increases the likely hood of my newborn getting over heated. It is a known issue with general motors and they said it is the NHTSA that will not do the recall because it is not dangerous. Well we will see how dangerous it is when we cant see because it will not defog window or what the hospital bill will be when my newborn overheats because of a faulty a/c compressor and bracket for the hose. A 2014 should not need a $1600. 00 repair. That is 3 months payments for a a/c.

Several times the vehicle would loose power and shut down the power steering while attempting to park or turn around in driveway. . On times,only warnings would flash up on the information display about lose of systems and the door locks would cycle. Occasionally, the turn signals would shut off the cruse control.
Today, at 1:00 pm , a sunny day @ 80 degrees, I entered the truck and shut the door. As I did so, the rear door drivers side window shattered after bulging outward as witnessed by my neighbor. The minute I shut the door the window bulged outward and shattered! I called the dealer and asked if it was covered, as it only had a thousand miles on it and they haven't called back so I guess not. Cost of a new window is 82 bucks on ebay! all the warrenties I bought with the car do not cover the side or back windows. I wonder if they should cover this issue, but I highly suggest all new truck owners of chevy silverados keep the window open a crack after buying a visor. Note: I just got a call back from the dealer and they want the window pieves for an investigation. I swept them up and put them in the trash! oops! I will bring them up anyway and take it from there.
After driving for several hr. In rain wiper moter stop when start out trans slips and grabs so hard its like rear end is going out it like being hit it so hard several times I thought I was hit the time on radio wont stay on they tried to fix it several times but could not finely they said it was normal for that radio. Took it to Chevrolet several times could not find any thing wrong.
Random windshield cracking, its 15 f here cold yes. . . . Drove truck to gas station, got back in truck, used the windshield washer and watched in awe as the windshield cracked from wiper blades area. Horz. Crack around 4 feet long, immed. Took to muncie chevy dealer, said not gm problem. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This is a safety issue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Was towing a trailer, stopped and filled up with gas. As leaving the gas station, dash lights dimmed and brightened on their own, then washer pump started squirting fluid without wiper blades moving. Washer pump continued squirting till the reservoir was empty and burned the pump. Afterwards, all interior lights stopped working, except for the dash lights. Also, lost all parking, head lamps, turn signal and brake lights on the 2014 Silverado 1500, except for high mount stop lamp, which was stuck on bright, as if brake pedal was depressed. Upon reading owners manual, there is a reference to loosing lights under "electrical overload". All electronics being used was factory installed, other than the trailer that was being pulled. Upon taking it to the dealership for repair, they could not determine what caused the issue. They replaced a body control module. One week after getting the truck back from the dealership, the dash lights have dimmed and brightened on their own again, therefore, I am afraid to hook my trailer back up in fear of loosing all my lights again, or worse, driving and all of the sudden, washer pump starts squirting fluid and getting into an accident. After talking to gm directly, they cannot provide an answer to what happened or why they would reference the "loosing lights under electrical overload" in the owners manual, because of a known defect or issue that would hinder their profits.
