UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY/WIPER
When I drive this car on the free way or on a very windy day, a loud air gap is caused by the front driver and passenger window. It hasn't been inspected by the dealer or anything but I believe there could be something wrong with the quality of glass or the seal that hold the glass. I've also driven with the windows lowered on a windy day and saw the edge of the glass bend. I'm worried it's gonna snap or shatter one day. It's been happening since I bought it but I didn't notice until I drove on the free way.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
At a low speeds while taking a turn, the electrical system clicks off and then clicks back on after about a second. Im able to see the voltage drop while taking the turn. When this happens, the power steering goes out while taking the turn. This exact incident is consistent with the recall of the year 2014 Silverado as stated in this article https://www.zehllaw.com/another-gm-recall-800000-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra-trucks-faulty-power-steering/

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Trailer brake system is continuing to show a service warning on the dash. Noticed the problem when my battery kept draining over night. Then the service trailer brake system light came on and won’t go away. I don’t have any modifications done to the vehicle and I bought it used almost 6 months ago with 80,000 miles. The service light comes on every time you crank the truck. GM service bulletins are reporting that it is a wiring harness that is defective. This should be addressed as a recall. It is unsafe to pull any type of equipment as well is causing my battery to drain over night to where I’m having to jump the truck off just to crank it

SEAT BELTS
The stitching in the loop attaching the front center lap seat belt to the vehicle failed causing the seat belt to detach and become unusable. If this had not been discovered and the vehicle were in an accident with the front center lap seat belt in use, the seat belt would not have provided any protection to the occupant and could have resulted in serious injury or death.

On April 29, 2022 between 4:45 - 5:00 pm Eastern, I was dropping off my son at work when I suddenly experienced a variety of Truck Diagnostic Error messages on the front driver display window. In addition my OnStar advanced diagnostic alert system informed me with the following system issues: Engine and Transmission; StabiliTrak stability control; Antilock Brake; and Emissions. At that moment the truck experience a cut in power and slowed down with a knocking sound coming from what seemed under the truck. I slowly proceeded to drop off my son and drove back home and parked the truck. Truck was towed to local Chevy dealer on Friday of that day. A preliminary diagnosis was done Saturday, April 30 suggesting an Engine Lifter issue. On Monday, May 2, 2022, a final diagnosis determined engine lifter failure on one side of engine bank.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving, engine running - the whole electrical system including the engine just stop - totally dead including lack of power steering. Several times it was a fraction of a second, and then all systems came back on and engine resumed running. Another time, I had to coast off the road and try to steer without PS. After waiting a bit, the engine restarted. Even though you only ask for 1 date, this has happened several times. Most recent was yesterday, 5/2/2022. Before that it was March 13, 2022. Before that, I believe it was several years ago.
