While driving the vehicle intermittently shuts down and sometimes even restarts, tends to happen at low speeds. Chevrolet ( GM) has disavowed any knowledge that this happens, even though there are 1100 plus google pages about it.
While driving at a low rate of speed, my vehicle has completely shut off. After putting the truck in park and restarting, it drove fine. This has happened several times now. Once I pulled into our driveway and while waiting for the garage door to open, it shut off momentarily and then restarted on its own. Now it is shutting off and not restarting. The power steering is also gone when this happens. This is incredibly dangerous at intersections. We've called the dealership but they said they weren't aware of any issues. This started occurring around 85,000 miles.
Everything turned off while driving on fwy at 80 miles. My doors unlocked truck turned off. Turned back on. Airbag light came on after everything turned off.
Vehicle steering is interrupted while in motion and turning. ( ~10 mph city streets) vehicle shuts off at low speed or after idleing and vehicle is placed into drive from park.(city streets 0-7mph) while at highway speeds speed/cruse control disengages (shuts off) when right turn signal is activated. (multiple hwy speed ranges' 50-75 mph) note'-date below is the latest of these repeated issues. The three events described have repeated occasionally recurred since ownership. Now steering interruption and vehicle losing power after idleing more frequent. Speed/cruse control disengagement when signal light is activated is also recurring.
Driver lost control of his vehicle for no apparent reason and struck an oncoming trailer and ultimately lost his life. The vehicle was totaled but still on our possession.

Oil cooling lines and transmission cooling lines developed leakage at the hose/metal interface closest to the radiator. This was noticed at around 70,900 miles. Both were replaced at 75,000 miles. Catastrophic failure of either one could have created major engine or transmission failure and an unsafe condition.
Code P06dd came on while driving home from work 10 miles away. We reset and truck was driving fine. On 10 degree day, truck displayed low oil pressure shut off vehicle while driving one mile away from work. Checked oil and topped off, tried to start vehicle, heard a noise and truck started ticking noise. Replaced spark plugs and oil pressure switch and still ticking. Forums stated it could be that or the oil pump. Looking at putting in a new oil pump but wondering if this is part of the previous recall.
2014 Silverado 1500 quality issues my 2014 Silverado 1500 needs a new $1,840 radiator/oil cooler. The truck has 48,000 miles purchased new 5+ years ago, so it exceeds the 5 year warranty period. At my last 5,000 mile oil change, the oil was found to be 2 quarts low with oil in the coolant. GM has refused (twice) to assist in the cost of repairs because I did not use a GM auto service for my oil changes. I had the oil changed every 5,000 miles with durablend by an independent quick oil change service, a mileage that exceeds the GM 7,500 mileage recommendation. I explained to GM CEO mary bara that I was upset with this decision - a truck with 48,000 miles should not have this problem and that GM is not assuming responsibility for its quality problems. I further advised that I would share my experience with others. Less than six months ago the brake booster pump had to be replaced - but luckily it was under warranty. The truck has had multiple recalls. Now the GM service department is charging me $147 to diagnose the problem because I'm not engaging them to do the repair. My conclusion is that this truck has chronic quality problems. This appears to be a common problem after checking internet -also a friend had a similar problem with Yukon. Obviously it will be the last GM vehicle I own.
My truck tends to mimic the 19V761 recall of 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado with the 5.3L engine and 3.08 rear axle. However, my vehicle is the 4.3L on occasion, my truck will pull to the left or right unintentionally due to the brakes being used out of my control. I'm particularly lose control of the vehicle every 2-3 seconds while this is happening. The defect also happens more often while traveling above 35 mph and downhill. Most recently during a snow storm in 4WD. The 'episode' usually lasts until I restart the vehicle. If it resolves before I restart it does so viciously, and steering wheel corrects itself while vehicle is moving. I've been to dealership and have been told there's not a recall for VIN number.
Out of the blue at 59,000 miles I had a lifer go bad and the dealer wants $3500 to fix my truck.... I have changed the oil when my on board oil change light tells me I take care of my truck and I can't believe this would happen I asked for Chevy's assistance on this matter and now they tell me I have an engine block on my truck which voids my engine from them giving me assistance my truck is a 2014 crew cab 4X4 ltz Texas edition which sra did for the dealership, the Chevy customer assistance person tells me the block was put on 8/15 a year after I bought my truck and I asked what was this about and they couldn't tell me to call my dealer and ask a device manager and when I did that they told me they had no idea what I was talking about so now I'm to do what, thank you Chevrolet for a below standard quality truck....
Had a failure with the dod or the afm. I think one of the lifters on the V4 dod got stuck and caused my truck to shut down on the interstate doing 80 mph. Now the truck wont start and justs turns over..theres no fuel or spark problems. This is the 1st problem with the truck that has 108,263 miles on it. This needs to be recalled cause there is no warning before you get the reduced engine power/ stabilink off light comes on. I already found out a lot of people that this has happened
Engine is making a ticking/knocking noise took it Chevy dealership they said its a fuel injecting pump.. searched videos on youtube a lot of Chevy Silverado owners have the same complaint we are spending lots of money to buy these vehicles that we expect to last please look into this search videos with key words of 2014-2018 Silverado engine noise this issue should be a recall with a doubt if we are spending money on Chevy brand trucks that are known to last.

During a turn to a side street the vehicle shut off. All steering and brakes were inoperable. There was an engine malfunction light and a message about there being 2 identical keys for the truck then anti theft flashed. While stopped in the intersection blocking traffic, a message directed to roll down the drivers window then back up. When that was done, electrical came back on and steering was restored. The vehicle was started and is now unsafe for use. The control for being on or off is unreliable and therefore unsafe to use as a Transport. 42000 miles on the 2014 high country Silverado. No steering. No brakes...that makes it unsafe. Would you put your family in this vehicle and ask them to drive safely" how do you justify giving total control to volatile software? how about at 75 mph and it fails" just know it can happen would have ensured I considered another purchase. I believe that information alone will justify someone else's marketing data.

Turned a corner while braking, the engine died, "service stabilitrac soon" illuminated on the instrument panel; driving down the road pulling a light weight boat trailer, the engine died but came back on immediately and the "service stabilitrac" illuminated; pulled into a parking lot and as I turned about halfway through the turn the engine died and "service stabilitrac soon" illuminated. I took to the truck to the Chevrolet dealer and they diagnosed the positive battery terminal was loose and the positive cable had too much resistance - $507 later and approximately 10,000 miles later reared it's ugly head again. Coming back from a morning drive to the lake and the 'service stabilitrac' light illuminated but the truck didn't die, a little further down the road it did the same thing and died but started right back up on its own while driving, started to back into my driveway and it died in the middle of the road, turned the ignition off and attempted to start it two or three more times, nothing!!! it's like there was no battery installed. Every time this happens I lose steering, the brakes seem to fade but I am able to stop on the slow turns like into the parking lot. In all instances the vehicle was moving. One time I noticed an increase in the A/C speed within the cab and the 'service stabilitrac' illuminated but as soon as I turned about half way into a parking area, it died, but continued to pick back up on the engine running. The local dealer had also perfomed some service bulletin regarding the campaign for 'loss of steering assist' at 19,340 miles. The vehicle currently has 42,000 miles..... the date "when did this happen" was today 7/16/2019 but the other times were various before this date.
