STEERING
STARTED EXPERIENCING A POPPING SOUND AND POPPING /CLICKING FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS ,WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION.THIS WOULD USUALLY OCCUR IN TIGHT SPACES SUCH AS PARKING LOTS ,GAS STATIONS ETC. AND AFTER THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE ,20 PLUS MILES AFTER A FEW WEEKS STARTED NOTICING THAT FRONT TIRES WERE WEARING RAPIDLY AND CLICK/POPPING SOUND HAD PROGRESSED AND SO WE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP, AND MET WITH SERVICE TECH ,AFTER A BRIEF DIAGNOSIS I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY RACK AND PINION AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT ON A FAIRLY NEW TRUCK WITH LESS THEN 68000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CHECK ENGINE AND A FEW OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CABIN BEGAN TO FILL WITH SMOKE THROUGH THE VENTS. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF GREEN LIQUID EMERGING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (SUN SHINE CHEVROLET IN ARDEN, NORTH CAROLINA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONDENSER WAS LEAKING FREON INTO THE COMPRESSOR, WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE CONDENSER WAS INCLUDED IN A NATIONAL BACKORDER INDEFINITELY. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSERS ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE BY GM AND SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS LOCAL MECHANICS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY REPLACING THESE ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.3L V8. THIS APPLIES TO ALL GM VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR. OWNERS ARE UNABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AS OEM PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER WITH NO ETA. THE BACK-ORDER IS DUE TO GM HAVING TO RE-MANUFACTURE THE ENTIRE INVENTORY WHILE OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR THESE REPLACEMENT CONDENSERS GROWS. THIS IS A $1,100 REPAIR INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE BURDEN OF THE CONSUMER AS GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IN THE MEANWHILE WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH OUR WINDOWS DOWN WHICH EXPOSES US TO EXHAUST FUMES OF OTHER VEHICLES AND DEBRIS BEING FREE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. NOTHING PROVOKED THIS FAILED CONDENSER AS I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED AND MY AIR CONDITIONER QUICKLY BECAME WARMER AS THE REFRIGERANT LEAKED OUT.

2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LT WITH 27,000 MILES. NOTICED COOLANT SMELL NEAR FRONT OF TRUCK AFTER DRIVING IT. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL SOURCES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH COOLANT LEAK. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK COOLANT LEAK. THEY FOUND OUT THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND TOLD ME GM HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE THERMOSTAT OVERCYCLING CAUSING THE RADIATOR TO DEVELOP STRESS CRACKS AND LEAK COOLANT. MY TRUCK HOWEVER WAS PASS THE 36 MONTH BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND MY TRUCK DOESN'T FALL UNDER THEIR SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN 15829 TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR 5 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. QUOTED AROUND $900 TO $1,000 TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT WITH A NEW VERSION THAT WILL NOT STRESS CRACK THE RADIATOR AND NEW RADIATOR (SAME PART AS ORIGINAL) IS PUT IN THE TRUCK. SO IF GM KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT WILL ONLY FIX CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME FAULTY THERMOSTAT. HOW IS THIS RIGHT?

THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY RAN THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT AND SAID THAT THE A/C CONDENSER HAS A LEAK AT ONE OF THE WELDS ON IT. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THE TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT GET THE PART ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY AND NOBODY KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. IS THERE A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR THIS PROBLEM?

TRUCK STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR 2 MONTHS AGO. TRUCK WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AT 38,598 MILES. TOOK TO FIRESTONE REPAIR CENTER ON 5/06/2017 TO HAVE AC CHECKED OUT. THEY NOTED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE CONDENSER. CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE WHO OPENED A CASE AND THEY MENTIONED THAT I NOW HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER. I DID THAT AND THEY CONFIRMED THE FIRESTONE DIAGNOSIS AND ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CONDENSER IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CALIFORNIA EAST BAY IS NEARING 100 DEGREES AND EXPECTED TO STAY THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME. NO WORK FORM CHEVROLET REGARDING WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I AM ABLE TO SEE STRONG SIMILARITIES IN WHAT EVERYONE IS CALLING THE G218 GROUND ISSUE. MY VEHICLE'S POWER ASSISTED STEERING WILL GO OUT IN A SLOW TURN. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A FIRE HYDRANT COLLISION LAST NIGHT. THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SAYS TO SERVICE THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. IT ALSO WILL COME UP WITH OTHER ERRORS EITHER CONCERNING THE STEERING COLUMN OR THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE IS STEERING ITSELF AGAINST THE TURN. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE DIED AND WOULD NOT START UNTIL RESTING FOR A BIT, ONCE FOR TEN MINUTES IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE VERY SOON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FLAW FROM THE FACTORY. I WOULD SERIOUSLY HATE TO HEAR THIS HAPPENING TO A MOTHER WITH A VEHICLE FULL OF CHILDREN. ..UPDATED 06/14/17 *BF UPDATED 06/30/2017*17
