ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO I BOUGHT APR 2020. THE FIRST TIME WAS SEP 2020 AND DIAGNOSIS FROM THE MECHANIC SHOWED NOTHING FOUND. ONLY SHOWED ERROR CODE THAT COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMPUTER WAS LOST. CODE WAS CLEARED AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN UNTIL 2 MAR 2021. UPON INITIAL IGNITION, THE MESSAGE WINDOW READ "ACTION NEEDED. ROLL DRIVER WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP, I DID THIS AND THEN IT WENT AWAY. AFTER DRIVING ON A FLAT, PAVED, DRY ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY TRUCK DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT SAID "STABILITY CONTROL", THE ENGINE REVED, RPMS SHOT UP TO 5K AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKER SEVERAL TIMES, RADIO TURNED OFF AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. A SHORT TIME LATER AT A LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN, THE RADIO AND CLUSTER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DIED. I PUT IT IN PARK, AND IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY, ONLY TO DO IT AGAIN (STARTED AGAIN AS WELL). THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED, THE TRUCK CAME BACK ON WITHOUT ISSUE AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN MINUTES OF THE SECOND TIME AND I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS TIME, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED (NO ELECTRICITY, NO ABILITY TO USE BLINKERS, HAZARDS, NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES ECT. COMPLETE OUTAGE. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF IT NOT COMING ON OR STARTING, I CALLED AAA TO TOW IT AND WHILE ON THE PHONE (APPROX 30 MINUTES, IT CAME BACK TO LIFE ON ITS OWN (RADIO, INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON) AND IT STARTED. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME, AND AT ONE LIGHT, IT DIED AGAIN BUT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE OF THE DOZENS OF CASES OF THE SAME ISSUES (SOME OF WHICH VEHICLES DIED WHILE AT DRIVING SPEEDS) WITH SIMILAR YEAR AND MODEL GM VEHICLES ON FORUMS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION BY GM AND NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED.

POWER TRAIN
AT 72K MILES THE TORGUE CONVERTER ON MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LTZ REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT AN OUT OF THE POCKET EXPENSE OF $4486. THE AUTO REPAIR GARAGE WHERE I HAD THE WORK DONE REPORTED THEY HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION COMING IN LATELY WITH AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE (72K) HAVING THIS ISSUE. I DRIVE MOSTLY AROUND TOWN (NOT MUCH HIGHWAY), HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND CAUGHT IT EARLY BEFORE LOSING ANY GEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME VEHICLES HAVE ACTUALLY LOST GEARS. SOUNDS DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
TRUCK DISPLAYS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND SHUTS OFF EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. WHEN I'M DRIVING AT ANY SPEEDS AND TURN STEERING WAY TO FAST TO EITHER SIDE I'LL GET MESSAGE STABILITY TRAK TURNED OFF AND FOLLOWED BY RADIO LOSING POWER. SOMETIMES TRUCK SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND SOMETIMES TRUCK JUST ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF BUT REMAINS ON. THERE'S TIMES WHERE I'LL GET THE MESSAGE FOR DRIVER WINDOW TO ROLL UP AND DOWN AND WINDOWS LOSE POWER. I'VE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL OF TIMES JUST TO LOSE OUT ON MONEY EVERY TIME BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM AND JUST KEEP CHARGING.

POWER TRAIN
WITH ANY KIND OF ACCELERATION ABOVE 30 MPH, THERE IS A VIBRATION UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD AND SEAT AND THE VEHICLE IS "SEARCHING" FOR THE CORRECT RPM WITHIN A 200 RPM RANGE. WHEN IN A PARKING LOT WITH 4X4 HI ENGAGED, THE FRONT HUBS WILL BIND WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED OVER HALF WAY RIGHT OR LEFT, MAKING TIGHT TURNS DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE. I WILL BE TAKING THIS TO A DEALERSHIP TO HOPEFULLY GET DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. MILEAGE IS 114K
