AT ONLY 42,000 MILES (WARRANTY IS 36,00 OR 3 YEARS) THERE IS A CRACK IN MY A/C HOSE. THE A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THEY FOUND A CRACKED HOSE AT DEALERSHIP PART # 2348932 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A BRACKET COSTING $750.00. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A TRUCK WITH VERY LITTLE MILEAGE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS WITH NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AT OTHER TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS SIDE TO SIDE WILDLY WITH NO DRIVER INPUT . I AM AWARE OF THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT A DEALERSHIP TWICE BUT THE ISSUE KEEPS COMING BACK. MY TRUCK HAS 42000 MILES AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, PLEASE HELP AS I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, THANKS.

ENGINE
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELLING AT 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO TURN INTO A STORE PARKING LOT. THE TRUCK SLOWED SOME, THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO DEPRESS WITH THE TRUCK STILL ROLLING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OF COURSE) COST OF $1400. GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SHOWED ME A "BULLETIN" THEY RECEIVED TELLING THEM PROBABLE CAUSES AND PART NUMBERS. I CALLED GM. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE JUST WEREN'T ENOUGH REPORTED PROBLEMS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL YET. IF YOU GOOGLE THE BRAKE PROBLEM THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. SOME WITH NARROWLY MISSED ACCIDENTS. I HAD NO TYPE OF WARNING THAT THERE MIGHT A PROBLEM. GM SAID "SORRY, CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS IN CASE A SAFETY RECALL COMES DOWN." I TOLD GM I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A NUMBER OF TRAGIC ACCIDENTS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. OH, AND THE $1400 REPAIR BILL GETS ME THE SAME CRAPPY PARTS THAT FAILED!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
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.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS THE CHEVY SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRUCK BEGINS VIBRATING AT 70-80 MILES PER HOUR. BEGINS TO REDUCE THE SHAKING BETWEEN 80-83 AND THEN SHAKES EVEN WORSE AT 85+MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD IT CAUSES WATER TO SHAKE OUT OF A CUP IN THE CUP HOLDER. NOT ONLY DOES THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE, BUT THE ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE, AND THE FRONT SEATS. THE VIBRATION DIDN'T BEGIN UNTIL I HIT 60,000 MILES AND SEEMS TO WORSEN WITH THE HIGHER MILEAGE. I NOW FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, BECAUSE I SKIDDED THE IN THE RAIN DUE THE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I ONLY HAVE VIDEOS SHOWING THE VIBRATION. TOTAL BUMMER. I HAD MY TIRES CHECKED AND BALANCED (WHICH HAVE BEEN ON THE TRUCK FOR 1 YEAR +, PRIOR TO THE VIBRATION STARTING) MY TRUCK HAS LIFETIME ALIGNMENT ON IT, AND THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE EITHER.

POWER TRAIN
INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 27TH, 2018. AT 65 MPH (INTERSTATE) GOING ON A DOWNHILL GRADE OF APPROXIMATELY 6%, TOWING AN APPROXIMATE 2500 LB TRAILER WITH WET ROADS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN APPLIED BRAKES LIGHTLY, THE TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTED (HIGHER RPM), APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN, UPSHIFTED AGAIN, DID A THIRD TIME, UPSHIFTED AGAIN (NOW AT 4000 RPM). HAD TO TAP THE GAS TO GET THE TRUCK TO DOWNSHIFT. TRANSMISSION WAS SET IN DRIVE, NOT MANUAL MODE. THIS IS A REPEATABLE CONDITION; IT DOES NOT MATTER IF TRAILER MODE ON THE TRANSMISSION IS SELECTED OR NOT. LESS DOWNGRADES (APPROXIMATELY 3% OR LESS) DO NOT SEEM TO CAUSE THE ISSUE. TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING SEEMS TO HAVE AN ERROR. THIS IS HIGHLY UNDESIRABLE AND COULD LEAD EASILY TO AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS IS A COMPLAINT ON A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW AND HAS ONLY HAD ONE DRIVER. IT WILL RANDOMLY LOSS POWER GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, FREQUENTLY NOW, LOSSES POWER STEERING AND WILL VIOLENTLY JERK MAKING IT UNCONTROLLABLY. HAD THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE SHOP FOR THE RECALL BUT ARE STILL HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THE DEALER IS WANTING TO CHARGE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND ANY REPAIRS, STATING THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING LOT TODAY AT LOW SPEED, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT CRAZY, SCREEN FLASHED POWER STEERING FAILURE, STABILITRAC FAILURE, DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AND ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED AND WAS FINE DRIVING FORWARD AND REPEATED FAILURES AGAIN WHEN TURNING TO PARK IN PARKING SPACE. IT IS FORTUNATE THIS WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON INTERSTATE OR OTHER MAIN ROAD OR WHILE TURNING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL IN FALL OF 2017 FOR POWER STEERING THAT WAS REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP UPON NOTIFICATION. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR ADVISED IT SOUNDED AS IF THERE WAS A POOR CONNECTION OF A BATTERY CABLE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF A IT'S A BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION ISSUE, THEN GM HAS ANOTHER SAFETY PROBLEM THEY NEED TO ADDRESS SINCE I'VE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES, AND IN MY OPINION, THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IF BATTERY CABLES JUST COME LOOSE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. GM SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THE OTHER REPORTED ISSUES AND HAS TAKEN NO MEASURES TO CORRECT IT. MAYBE ALL OF US WHO OWN THEIR VEHICLES SHOULD FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THEY MIGHT GET OFF THEIR [XXX] AND DO SOMETHING! I CERTAINLY WON'T HESITATE TO FILE A CIVIL COMPLAINT FOR PRODUCT LIABILITY IF A FAMILY MEMBER IS HURT AS A RESULT OF THEIR CONTINUED NEGLIGENCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
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.
