STEERING
AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN BACKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL GET HARD AND THEN LOOSEND UP. MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL GET HARD AGAIN AND THEN LOOSENDS UP. IT BECOMES A STRUGGLE TO TURN GET HARD AND THEN LOOSENDS UP. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT 30000 MILES AND CONTINUES. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY UNSAFE IF THAT STEERING DOES NOT LOOSEN UP AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT COULD MEAN DEATH AND INJURIES TO OTHER PARTIES. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN TO US OVER 15 TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW OF THE LOT, IM THE ONLY OWNER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING A RECENT COLD SPELL I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO HOME WITH THE RE DEFROSTER ON. RANDOMLY I STARTED HEARING A WHISTLING SOUND, THEN WHEN I REACHED MY HOME I SAW THAT THE REAR WINDOW (TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE SLIDING WINDOW) HAD RANDOMLY SHATTERED LEAVING GLASS PIECES ON THE TONNEAU COVER AND HAD FALLEN IN ON MY DAUGHTERS CAR SEAT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR OTHER EVENT THAT PRECIPITATED THE SHATTERING, BUT AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR THE HOLE HAS SPREAD AND MORE GLASS CONTINUES TO FALL OUT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON JUNE 3, 2018 UPON CRANKING THE TRUCK, THE A/C BEGAN BLOWING EXTREMELY HOT AIR TO THE POINT IT LEFT A RED MARK ACROSS MY HAND AFTER FEELING FOR THE VENT WAITING FOR THE TEMPERATURE TO COOL DOWN. IT WAS 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND RAINING SO WINDOWS COULDN'T BE ROLLED DOWN. WINDSHIELD REMAINED FOGGY DUE TO HUMIDITY WITHIN THE TRUCK AND I HAD TO PULL OVER FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN ORDER TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD TO BE ABLE TO SEE. TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE TRUCK, ONE IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT WERE BEYOND OVER HEATED AND WELL ON THEIR WAY TO HEAT EXHAUSTION BY THE TIME WE REACHED THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO TEMPERATURES REACHING ABOVE 95 WITHIN THE CAB. TRUCK WAS SEEN AT DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED DUE TO VIBRATION FROM DRIVING, THE A/C DISCHARGE HOSE WAS CRACKED ALLOWING THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE TO BE BLOWN DIRECTLY INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. HOSE WAS REPLACED AD A BRACKET ADDED TO IMPROVE THE STABILITY OF THE HOSE AND REFRIGERANT ADDED. EIGHT MONTHS AND 4 DAYS LATER, A/C SUDDENLY BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. WAS ADVISED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE HIGH SIDE SERVICE PORT WAS NOW LEAKING AND NEEDED A VALVE REPLACEMENT AND REFRIGERANT ADDED AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS ON A DOWNHILL GRADE FOR EXAMPLE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES SOMETIMES FAIL BY REQUIRING EXTREME FOOT PRESSURE TO STOP AND REQUIRING EXTRA BRAKING DISTANCE. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 20 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND IT IS SO SPORADIC AND UNEXPECTED THAT IT SCARES YOU TO DEATH WHEN IT DOES. IT ALSO HAPPENS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN THE TRUCK IS SLOWLY CREEPING DOWN A LIGHT GRADE.

AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BREAKS ON MY TRUCK DO NOT WORK. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW VACUUM PUMP. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS CURRENTLY AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST COLLIDED WITH OBJECTS AND OTHER CARS MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENIG FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR AND A HALF NOW.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHEN DRIVING TRUCK AND TURNING THE STEERING GETS HARD AND TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO CONTROL IT AGAIN. ALSO WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT DRIVING SLOW THE POWER STEERING GETS HARD AND CAUSES STEREO SCREEN TO TURN OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND CAUSES HEADLIGHTS TO DIM. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS DIM. IT'S VERY UNSAFE WHEN TURNING, CAN ALMOST LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL FOR STEERING JERKING. NOT ONLY DOES THIS HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BUT ALSO WHEN TRUCK IS STATIONARY.

SERVICE BRAKES
TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN THE ENGINE SWITCHES TO V4 I LOOSE BRAKING POWER AND HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO SINCE I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS IT HAS ALSO CAUSED ME TO ALMOST DRIVE OFF THE ROAD DOWN A MOUNTAIN. WHILE BACKING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ALSO A HILL I HAVE LOST BRAKING ABILITY WHICH HAS CAUSE ME TO ROLL DOWN BACKWARDS ALMOST HITTING MY HOUSE AND ALMOST GOING OFF OF A CLIFF. I HAVE CALLED AND HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS SPENDING $120.00 FOR AN INSPECTION WITH THEM TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT SHOULD BE HANDLED BY A FULL RECALL DUE TO IT BEING A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD COST ME AND OTHERS OUR LIVES. PLEASE PUSH GM TO MAKE THIS A NATIONAL RECALL AND MAKE THEM PUT THE SAFETY OF PEOPLES LIVES AHEAD OF MAKING PROFIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
: THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM TEMPORARILY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING DURING OPERATION, CAUSING THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT NEEDED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO FLUCTUATE DRAMATICALLY DURING THE MANEUVER AS THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM CYCLES ON AND OFF. THE ISSUE IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT DURING LOW-SPEED MANEUVERS AND CAN BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE FAILURE OF OTHER SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE RADIO, STABILITY CONTROL, DOOR-LOCK CYCLING, AIR CONDITION OR CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, WHEN I'M PARKING OR MAKING A TURN. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE IN MID TURN AS I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK.
