Started smelling antifreeze notice happened to replace antifreeze did not find a leak for a couple weeks then noticed around radiator was wet with antifreeze started leaking worse find out there's a recall on 2014 Silverado radiator call dealer said only certain trucks are being taken care of the rest for screwed
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that there was an internal failure pertaining to the electrical system. The theft deterent warning indicator kept randomly flashing and various warning indicators and gauges on the instrument panel shorted out. The contact stated that there was also a drastic loss of power, the vehicle failed to start, the key fob worked intermittently, and the vehicle stalled several times. Initially, the dealer (lou fusz Chevrolet, 5120 I-70 North outer rd, St peters, mo 63376, (636) 875-5400) only cleared the codes and the failures continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available..
The radiator is leaking coolant, and there is a need to fill it up periodically to prevent overheating. This is occurs when the engine is running, but is only noticeable when the vehicle is parked and coolant drips onto the ground.
While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning. The engine shuts down and all electrical is lost. Luckily I haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection. After I get truck started there are numerous error codes in the display: Open and close drivers side window, stabilatrak, steering wheel assist, stabilatrak reduce speed B/C of steering assist, 2 keys programmed. Also while traveling at high rate of speed (70-80 mph) on highway the stabilatrak error would appear when I put turn signal on to change lanes but truck has not yet shut down under that condition. I have taken my truck to 2 different Chevrolet dealers for this dangerous problem but they have not been able to find the problem. The last time the truck shut down on me was 9-19-2018 and the truck did not start right away and my 4-way flashers did not work while I was stranded in the intersection.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to operate. In addition, the stabilitrak, brake, and steering off warning indicators illuminated. The contact mentioned that the accelerator pedal needed to be depressed in order for the brakes to function normally. Also, while driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled and completely shut off. Frontier Chevrolet (1640 East highway 66 route 66 and highway 81, el reno, ok 73036, (405) 262-3355) was contacted and stated that General Motors was aware of the failures, but there was no remedy. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 81,600.

My Silverado frequently "shuts off" when I am making turns. This is extremely dangerous - the latest time I was pulling out into traffic and the engine and all electrical parts turn off. I was nearly hit by another vehicle. There was a recall for this exact issue and my local Chevrolet dealer said they have "fixed it". I keep bringing the truck back to them, but they won't attempt to fix it again citing lemon laws because they can't get the truck to replicate the issue. I am beyond frustrated and at this point concerned about the safety of my children and myself as I drive.
2014 1500 ltz almost killed myself several times in the past week. Lights begin to flicker and that's the first warning sign to watch for. Steering assist shuts down and truck stalls if turn continues at low speed. Shut down has happened various times now putting through a drive thru. Vehicle also shuts off while driving at 75mph
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 10 mph, the steering wheel was turned and the vehicle lost power. There were no warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (stonebriar Chevrolet, 9950 tx-121, frisco, tx 75035), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,600.
My 2014 Silverado high country has a 8 cylinder 6.2 engine. After coming to a stop often there is steam coming from under the hood. The temperature gauge runs high and there is the smell of coolant leaking. I was told by the Chevy dealer this is caused by under spray? it happens on dry days, rainy days and laving a car wash bay. I've been advised it is a hairline crack in the radiator and GM knows they've had problems.
At slow speeds (mostly when turning) power steering will go out. I've had 3 instances where the truck completely shut off and just as many where it felt like it was about to shut off. Other symptoms have been while driving on highway, generally on a longer trip, warnings about stabiltrack needing service come on, my lane departure sensor will automatically switch from vibrate to audible beep, dimming my headlights or turning my turn signal on will cancel cruise control. I had the recall for software fix for power steering issues applied in September 2017 where previously I experienced none of these issues. All of these issues have been after the recall software fix was applied. The dealer says it's due to a film that builds up on the battery cable connection and causes it to not have a good connection with the battery. Apparently there is a bulletin out for this issue but it isn't a recall so dealers are charging around $700 to fix this. Having your truck turn off while driving is a clear safety issue and one that is much worse than the recall for having your power steering go out when turning at slow speeds.
While conducting low speed manuveurs radio and dash flashes off, then engine shuts off while vehicle is still in drive causing loss of steering assist and brake assistance. Dash and radio turn back on and warning messages stating stabilitrak disabled, steering assistance reduced, 2 keys programmed, open and close drivers window, and park assist disabled are displayed. Dealership thinks this could be due to corrosion in the power distribution box and recommended replacement.
My 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is at a GM dealership for the 4th time due to complete electrical and engine shutdown while driving. The issue started during low speed sharp turns but now is happening while driving the vehicle straight. Complete loss of use occurs and the vehicle will not come back on for 10 minutes after the occurrence. Power steering recall has not resolved it, ground wire tightening has not resolved and main battery cable replacement has not resolved. Dealership response is they don't know what the issue is caused from. I am very concerned this complete loss of power while driving will cause a severe collision and no recall or resolution has been created by GM.
2014 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, equipped with E85 flex fuel capability (fhs), the flexible fuel sensor may become inoperative during normal operation due to an electrical failure caused by road salt and other environmental contaminants. With a faulty flex fuel sensor, the service engine soon light will illuminate and remote start will be inoperative.
The service theft deterrent system warning came up on my dashboard and the vehicle wouldn't start. Removing the key and opening the door reset it. This happened Friday, March 30th. On Sunday April 1st, a similar event occurred, except this time, after getting the car started I drove about 1/4 mile and the vehicle lost all brake/steering support and then the engine cut off, leaving me to try bringing the vehicle to a stop myself (which thankfully I did). I took the vehicle to the dealership first thing on Monday, April 2nd, and they ran tests and found a service bulletin saying to replace the negative battery cable and the junction box. Being a service bulletin only though, it is not covered by the powertrain warranty and would cost $675. Being that this is a safety issue since it cuts all power while someone is driving, I feel this to be unfair.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The battery was replaced, but the failure continued. The vehicle was towed to landers mclarty Chevrolet in huntsville, al, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 42,000.
While at a Chevy dealer to have a recall (17276 loss of power steering) done on my truck I asked them to check on a grinding/whining noise from the area of the brake booster pump on the engine. They said in fact it was the brake vacuum booster pump, that it should be fixed or I could experience a sudden loss of braking power. They further explained it would have been covered under warranty but that expired a year ago and would now cost me some $440. Am wondering if other folks have complained about this. I've read of it happening to others on certain internet blog sites. To my way of thinking the brakes (and I suppose loss of ABS/traction control) are at least as important as the steering that was enough of a problem to issue a recall. Btw the truck had 27,971 miles on it when the problem started, hardly 'warn out'.
Vehicle has a defective radiator causing a coolant leak, and engine oil to enter the cooling system. General Motors as issued a special coverage #15829 applying to this year and model Silverado, but only certain VIN's apply for warranty coverage for this issue. Coverage should include all VIN numbers equipped with defective radiators. Dealer now want's $1,300 to repair what should be covered under a known defect addressed only partially by special coverage.
I was driving around the back of a shopping plaza when my engine started to make a stalling sound followed by my belts squealing. My gauges looked fine and then I looked at my side mirror to see smoke trailing my vehicle. I stop and open my hood to see the entire engine compartment filled with smoke. I couldn't see any damage at that point to pin point the problem. My vehicle was towed to a Chevy dealership and the mechanic told me my a.C. compressor seized up due to lack of oil in the compressor and my engine belt was destroyed (which was the cause of the smoke). I did notice every time I turned the fan on in my vehicle the a.C. light would always come on by itself engaging the compressor for the a.C. system. This vehicle is 3 years old with 39450 miles on it and this incident should not have happened. I had to pay the dealership almost $1000 for the repair.
