I called GM and the Lady told me that there 5 recalls on this truck of which 4 were taken care of. there still remains one left undone. I purchased this truck from a private owner. the one remaining is the seat belt wire issue. A new warning has appeared on the dash, saying service trailer brake system. This a non stop warning while driving the truck. Very distracting and dangerous. I looked on you tube to see if anyone has this problem. yes there are some. One incident stated that to resolve this issue, someone needed to check the trailer receptacle plugin for corrosion, or broken wires. IF all is good there check the other four connectors under the truck on the frame. Finally if these are all good, then check the fuse box under the hood for the fuse for this braking system. The representative that I talked to from GM said to take the vehicle to a local Dealer for analysis to see where the problem is in the trailer braking system. Dealer labor rates are high. The representative stated that there is a payment assistance program available through GM if a Dealer takes care of the situation. Is this true? I need this truck every day for work. Please address this issue. Thank You, [XXX] My email [XXX]. ph# [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
For almost 8 months, the electrical system experiences complete malfuncation. First it was stabilitrac lighting up, the steering wheel would jerk out of my hands. To issue to mechanic where ground wire under passenger side was cleaned and re-installed. This seemed only a temporary fix. As of today, the 2014 Silverado 1500 LT is experiencing flickering dash lights, surging and dropping voltage (battery/alternator tested at normal driving levels), flickering healights. The worst of the situation is complete electrical malfuncation causing the truck to shut down while driving. This has happened twice in the last 2 weeks. It occurs when the vehicle comes to a stop, then when I try to turn, the voltage drops, dash flickers and the truck shuts down as I try to accelerate into a turn.

During a recent trip while using my turn signals the entire dash would flash off and right back on. When I exited the freeway and turned onto a small side street making a u-turn the engine died without warning and all dash lights went blank. Loss of everything including power braking and steering. Then the info center kept flashing -?? Service stablink soon.-?? On my return trip home the same message kept flashing. There are no codes set in the computer. Just all intermittent electrical issues. Unable to replicate the issues at home. The service trailer tow system also flashes once in a while. The loss of all power shutting off unexpectedly with the engine dying is a major concern.
Dash lights started flickering for multiple seconds, losing control of steering almost crashed into oncoming traffic. Park assist light warning as well. Light for park assist was off. Was in town, whipped it into the gas station best I could. Shut it off. Filled up. Restarted, everything -??normal-?? again.

When something is hit (or pot hole/ rough road etc.)stabiltrak warning and check engine lights flickers, all panel lights go out, and vehicle seems to shut down briefly because you can notice AC go warmer. This is a safety issue.
I have been getting the Reduced Engine Power message due to the drive by wire components and the truck will go into Limp mode. This is a VERY DANGEROUS event due to the fact that a driver not knowing when this will happen. I have pulled into the road many times before and have this happen, and when it does go into limp mode, you are dead in the middle of the road trying to avoid being hit by on-coming cars. It is a KNOWN issue with GM for years now and many Technical Bulletins have been sent out about it.
Vehicle door would not open with Key Fob. All the lights started flashing with a clicking sound coming from the dashboard area. The Instrument Cluster goes blank. Service Trailer Brake Message keeps going off and on with no trailer connected. Technician Diagnosed Electrical Fault Per TSB 18-NA-161. The negative battery cable showed excessive voltage drop as a fault. The Technician inspected ground #218 which was identified in the TSB as having potential for pinch under the dashboard insulation. The Technician was able to use a scope and found it to be pinched as described in the bulletin. All the issued were resolved. The electrical conditions happened on more than one occasion. This electrical problem could have happened while I was underway and is a safety issue. Chevrolet is aware of the condition and made no effort to correct the problem placing me in a posittion to be injured or killed. Also the financial impact of having to pay more than $1200 for repairs that could have been corrected by General Motors. I am not the only one having this problem.
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-??.
