SEATS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS WOULD MOVE AND ROCK WHEN MAKING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY SKILLMAN CHEVROLET (3891 SOUTH POST RD, INDIANAPOLIS, ID) WHERE AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK HAS HAD 3 INSTANCES OF THE BRAKES NOT WORKING CORRECTLY IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. EACH TIME MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS DOWN AND MY TRUCK DID NOT STOP IN THE MANNER IT SHOULD HAVE. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT WAS AFTER STOPPING AND PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO PARK IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND WOULDN'T GO DOWN THE WAY IT SHOULD. AFTER EACH INCIDENT AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE SAME HARD PEDAL PREVENTED THE BRAKES FROM WORKING CORRECTLY GOING FORWARD. AFTER STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. I FOUND A BULLETIN ONLINE THAT GENERAL MOTORS PUT OUT WHERE A MECHANIC INSPECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED TO CHECK IF ANY OIL WAS IN THE BRAKE VACUUM LINE LEADING INTO THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WITH THE OIL STEMMING FROM THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS NO OIL FOUND AND MY MECHANIC PERFORMED AN OVERNIGHT PRESSURE TEST ON THE VACUUM PUMP ITSELF AND THE FOLLOWING DAY FOUND THERE WAS NO VACUUM LEAK DETECTED. THIS TEST WAS PERFORMED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER MY SECOND INCIDENT. MY 3RD INCIDENT HAPPENED THIS PAST FRIDAY 12/21/2018. MY TRUCK DID NOT STOP THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND I WOUND UP HAVING MY TRUCK DRIVE INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE AS MY BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN GOT REALLY HARD AND MY BRAKES FAILED. I AM VERY CONCERNED NOW THAT THERE IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THAT DEVELOPED FROM A CASE OF POOR QUALITY MATERIALS USED IN THE MAKING OF THE PARTS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY TRUCK IS RARELY USED IN A ROUGH OR CARELESS MANNER, RARELY PERFORMS TOWING AND HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT. A RECALL IS WAY OVERDUE REGARDING THE BRAKING SITUATION.

AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE BRAKING AFTER 2-4 PUMPS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND I NEED TO USE EXTRA FORCE TO APPLY BRAKES. HAS HAPPENED WHILE BOARDING A FERRY DUE TO PRESSING THE BRAKE CONTINUOUSLY TO AVOID GOING TO FAST WHILE PARKING ON BOARD,AND DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IF THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T USED TO RESET VACUUM PRESSURE.

WHEN 'FEATHERING' MY BRAKES WHENEVER I'M IN A SMALL AREA (PARKING LOT, FITTING INTO A SPACE, MY BRAKES GRIND WHILE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO ROLL ANOTHER FOOT OR SO WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN AT A STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT IF I DISENGAGE THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD A BIT AND THEN TRY TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE TRUCK IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT'S HAPPENED IN BOTH PARKING LOTS, MY DRIVEWAY, AND OFF RAMPS FROM A HIGHWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON THE 101, IN CALABASAS CA. AS I TRIED TO BRAKE THE PEDAL GOT VERY HARD. EVERY TIME I BRAKED IT WAS TAKING LONGER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I'M TRAVELING TO MEXICO WITH MY FAMILY. I WILL TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN SIMI VALLEY, CA. I CONSIDER THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION OF ALL THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ALL OCCUPANTS AND OTHER DRIVERS WHO ARE NEXT TO THEM. I HOPE YOU TAKE IN CONSIDERATION MY CONCERN.

STEERING
LIFE THREATHING STEERING ISSUE: 2014 SILVERADO WHILE DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE, EVEN WITH THE STRONGEST GRIP OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS USUALLY OCCURS DURING TURNING AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON ONLY AFTER THE ISSUE ARISES THUS NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENS . I HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS OCCURRING BY VIDEO AND OTHER 2014 SILVERADO OWNERS HAVE ALSO. CHECK OUT YOUTUBE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, SEARCH: 2014 SILVERADO STABILITRAK PROBLEMS. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED GM TO DO SOMETHING, THE DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE (AND SIMILAR GM PRODUCTS WITH THE SAME REPORTED ISSUE) AND OTHER MOTORIST FACE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ATTRIBUTES IT TO MANY COMPONENTS: GROUND CABLES, BATTERIES, GROUNDING LUGS, BCM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOW VOLTAGE.....ON AND ON. AGAIN CHECK OUT THE GM-TRUCKS.COM WEBSITE AND CONFIRM FROM OTHER OWNERS POSTINGS. I'VE REPAIRED / REPLACED THE: BATTERY, CUT THE MATERIAL OUT FROM UNDER THE G218 GROUNDING LUG, NEW BATTERY CABLES, THERE IS EVEN A TSB PIT5405A, ALL TO NO AVAIL. THERE IS NO EXACT SOLUTION THAT I OR THE GM REPAIR SHOPS (SO I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALER) CAN DEFINITIVELY PUT AN ANSWER TO, SO THE POOR CONSUMER IS LEFT WITH A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE FORCED TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE AND NEVER TRUST YOUR LIFE BEING IN ONE OR BEING ON THE ROAD AROUND ONE OF THEM. NHTSA PLEASE MAKE GM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REMEDY THIS ISSUE!!!!!!!

ENGINE
THE VEHICLE SUFFERED INTERMITTENT FAILURES TO START (ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK). THE INITIAL ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE ISSUE BY THE DEALER WAS TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THE BATTERY BEING REPLACED WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS THE SECOND BATTERY THE DEALER HAD REPLACED IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS. THE INITIAL REPAIRS FAILED. ULTIMATELY, THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY STARTER MOTOR. A CHECK OF THE PART NUMBER OF THE FACTORY STARTER MOTOR THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO) INDICATES IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO/GMC SIERRA 1500 WITH THE 4.3L V6 ENGINE. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 5.3L V8 ENGINE. EITHER THE INCORRECT PART WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY OR GM DETERMINED IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE 5.3L V8 ENGINE AND DISCONTINUED USING IT FOR THIS MODEL. REGARDLESS, GM NEVER MADE ANY NOTIFICATION OF THE ISSUE.

MY SILVERADO HAS AROUND 56K MILES. TWO DAYS AGO THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FALLING TO THE FLOOR STARTED. THIS IS AT LOW SPEEDS AND ESPECIALLY AFTER USING THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES. THIS IS NOT THE ABS KICKING IN. I WAS A SERVICE MANAGER FOR FORD FOR YEARS AND IT FEELS LIKE WHEN A BRAKE BOOSTER GOES BAD. VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT FX CAPRARA CHEVROLET IN PULASKI NY THIS MORNING FOR DIAGNOSIS AS THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. VEHICLE WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER DRIVING EXTENSIVELY THROUGH SEVERAL TOWNS, CITIES AND ON HIGHWAYS, THE BRAKES WENT OUT AS WE TURNED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. HAROLD CHEVROLET (DEALER AND SERVICE) REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, VACUUM PUMP AND HOSE BECAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP LEAKED INTERNALLY INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. ($1638.86) THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE NEWSPAPER, YOU ARE AWARE BUT HAVE FAILED TO WARN OWNERS. INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY. I USE THIS TRUCK TO BACK MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. IF THE BRAKES HAD FAILED, I DO NOT THINK I COULD HAVE SURVIVED WITH MY AGE (73) AND DISABILITY (NEUROPATHY OF FEET AND LEGS.)THIS REALLY STRESSES ME.

SERVICE BRAKES
UNDER LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE EXPECTED OR TYPICAL STOPPING POWER. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN TOWING AND ON HILLS. A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN POSTED BY GM (PIT5361B) DETAILING THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY POOR VACUUM SUPPLIED TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AT LOW ENGINE SPEEDS. FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON AN INCLINE WHILE TOWING A BOAT, THE TRUCK COULD NOT STOP THE SETUP WITHIN A FEW FEET EVEN AT WELL LESS THAN 5 MPH. CONTINUES WHEN BACKING DOWN THE BOAT RAMP AND EVEN STOPPING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.
