This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Steering assistance failed during slow speed turn into side street. Vehicle stalled with no power to steer or brake. Engine turned off allowing vehicle to dead stick accross two lanes of traffic for opposite direction. Vehicle came to rest in parking lot nearby. Had there been vehicles in those lanes an accident would have occurred. Dash board monitor gives signals that "stability track" off and check engine have issues. In August of 2017 received recall letter from GM citing problem with EPS (electric power steering). Took vehicle to Serpentini Chevy on August 13th 2017 and they reprogramed EPS Module. Milage at this time was 20,085. They did not charge for repair. In 2017 my vehicle had no symptoms of recall. Now in 2022 this EPS problem is happening with milage 54,000 twice almost causing MVA.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds and turning the steering wheel, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that the vehicle also lost power steering functionality and then stalled. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V414000 (Steering) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure; and referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
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.
My vehicle started displaying a stabilitrak warning, gauge lights dimming, hard steering, and the ac turning off when I would push the brake pedal while driving. 15 miles later, while making a left hand turn, my vehicle shut off completely which caused a loss of power steering. I was able to avoid an accident as the vehicle did restart. Prior to this incident, I have taken the vehicle in twice to Chevrolet dealerships to diagnose this issue. Both times they stated they could not duplicate the issue so nothing was done. This seems to be a common issue for many 2014 Chevrolet Silverado owners.
The vehicle has experienced dash and screen flickering while driving. When stopped and making turns the engine shuts off and the steering is locked. The whole dash goes blank. The engine is not able to restart or click. Anit-theft warning comes on for no reason. I feel there is a safety issue when driving this vehicle but no recalls have been placed. I don't feel safe driving my babies in the car.

Vehicle losses electric power steering specially at low speeds tends to jump to the right side or locks the steering wheel possibly accident if it continues. There are recalls on most trucks like mine but it seems that my truck is not in the list and it should be this is a real safety issue I believe that I report it to you before.

Transmission Light comes on to say cut engine off, if not done quickly, just dies. It can cut off at any time. I just purchased truck and took it to the chevrolet dealer they told me this year make and model has had a lot of transmission issues that the torque converter fails inside the transmission and they want $6000 to fix it, I have not had the truck 60 days
The vehicle will intermittently start to have electrical glitches such as loss of electric power steering, A/C and radio shutting off, stabilitrack shutting off and engine shutoff. I've heard there is a known ground issue with this model and its can be dangerous when moving if you lose steering control and engine control. This has happened multiple times the most recent was 6/28/2021

problem first started about 6 weeks ago. slowing down making a turn my truck would shut down without any warning. once turning left in a four lane highway. once turning into Mc Donalds jumping curb and several other times. took into dealership for a recall told them about problem. they put analizer on it showing nothing. it has shut down several times since and a light on my truck finanally came on saying it was the trucks thief deterrent system. i will be taking this into my dealership again this morning but feel you should be aware of this problem as all control of truck was loss when turning into oncoming traffic.
My truck has developed a radiator leak after 39930 miles. I see from reading on the Internet this is a very common problem with this year of truck. Chevrolet even has a recall to replace the radiator but says my truck is not included. The recall notice is #15829. This ends up being a very expensive repair. I have been quoted $1428 by a Chevrolet dealer to replace radiator.
I chose a used 2014 Chevy Silverado with 180K miles. I met my salesperson, bernard, on site at pugmire Ford, in carrollton, ga. When I test drove the vehicle, the truck had off road tires, so I requested that pugmire put regular tires on the truck before taking possession. They agreed and the truck was delivered a few days later. Soon after delivery, I noticed a soft noise seemingly coming from the engine. I informed my salesperson bernard of the issue. He asked me to bring the truck back for review. I did & bernard told me 'it had something to do with the exhaust so don't worry about it. It will go away after a few drivecycles'. I didn't believe him so I had the obd checked, that indicated that the catalytic converter had failed. I sent the document to bernard, then I asked if the vehicle had a recent emissions inspection, he said he didn't know. He apologized, but stated that they would not be responsible for any repairs to the vehicle. At this point, I reminded bernard 1. it is illegal to sell a vehicle that cannot pass emissions 2. that my bank had not yet mailed the check. With that mind, pugmire Ford finally agreed to pay for the replacement of the catalytic converter. So I agreed to authorize my bank to send the check. Pugmire had arranged for the truck to be fixed at G&S auto and they paid for the work. But after repair, the check engine light returned. So I took it back to G&S to ask why. That's when they determined the catalytic converter had failed due to internal engine damage. They recommended another shop for a 2nd opinion. That shop is called all pro automotive. All pro confirmed the damage and provided a quote for the repairs. Pugmire Ford voided all claims of the vehicle being an an 'as-is' purchase when they paid to replace the catalytic converters. They took ownership of it, and opted out after they received the check from my bank.
Vehicle will shut off while driving at low speeds. Also power steering will come on and off during turns. Happens often. Then a messege pops up on dash to lower than put up drive side window. This happens without any warning.
Check engine light comes on P06dd. Initially it was a oil injector that needed replacing within the first 4 years of purchase of a new truck. When the code comes on later it's the oil pump. Oil pump has a pressure switch on it that says pump oil at 10 ppm, if it goes at 7 ppm it will cause the check engine light to come on.the oil pressure going into the engine at 7 ppm is not S serious issue and shouldn't cause the check engine light to come on.I live in a state county where you can't register your 1500 truck for a new vehicle registration with the check engine light on.the dealer wants to bill me 10 hours of labor because of where the oil pump is located inside the engine.the local dealership wants to charge $1,000 for the replacement fo the oil pump and the connected sensor.I would like to see a recall effort happen which will not make the sensor enact the check engine light for small irreverent discretion with the pressure switch.
Vehicle's electrical system will fail while driving, it may fail during ignition, and it may fail immediately after shutdown. These failures are catastrophic. All systems in the vehicle fail at once. All steering and braking assistance, all lights, HVAC, ignition, fuel delivery, all electrical systems are affected by this dysfunction. This is highly dangerous as it can and does occur while driving at highway as well as residential speeds. Associated failures include various dash modules unresponsive or off intermittently, stabilitrac service message, action needed message: Roll down then up driver window, exterior and interior lighting including headlights flickering and dimming, frozen or glitched or otherwise unresponsive radio, steering wheel forcefully jerking without input from driver or road, 'traction off' indicators. All issues are sporadic, chronic, and debilitating. Vehicle has delivered stabilitrak messages and momentarily tripped all electronics while driving as well. Not every failure is complete, some glitches in the electrical may persistently occur under normal driving conditions, this puts un due strain on the attention, mindfulness, and peace a driver is reasonably expected to achieve in any vehicle. This has also been a precursor to complete failure and great care must be taken to remove the vehicle from roadways and traffic.
When I am driving I turn the blinker on or press the brake and the stable track comes on truck turns off at low speeds when I am turning the wheel or pressing the brake took it to the Chevy dealership and nothing I tell them I almost crashed due to this issue and they say it's your hole wired electrical system that doesn't make sense I tell them I need recalls done and they still do nothing
Happens 3-4 a week when driving: I turn turn signal on and headlights flicker truck feels like losses power, if making a U-turn steering wheel gets hard and truck feels like stalling out. On highway going 65mph stabilitrak light flashed twice and truck felt sluggish very brief. When exiting highway and turning onto city street at 30mph very briefly the truck lost power and steering was like stuck, almost caused accident, truck felt like it turned off and on and jolted forward very hard and went back to normal. When I pulled into a parking lot the stabilitrak light came back on and truck stalled briefly again while turning at 15mph, all dash lights came on and power steering lost, truck went back to normal on its own.
