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.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 3 mph, the vehicle independently shifted into neutral and the brakes and power steering failed. As a result, the contact crashed the vehicle into a light pole. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 14V374000 (power train) after the crash. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 7,000.
When driving at highway speeds on winding roads, the steering does not return to center when the turn is finished. The steering "sticks" and the wheel needs to be pushed back to center. The steering sticks hard and it takes considerable force to return the wheel to center, sometimes resulting in an overcorrection, and loss of lane position. The truck is difficult to control and impossible to keep centered in the lane when having this problem. The problem consistently happens at highway speed, and on winding roads. Gentle curves do not produce the problem, but the winding interstate highways of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina do. The truck now has 7000 miles on it, and the problem appears to be getting worse.
