SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO, I HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND I SUDDENLY LOST LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. WITHIN A 2-3 SECONDS THE CLUSTER AND RADIO WENT DEAD AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE LOGS SHOWED 1 1/2 PAGES OF VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS ERRORS INCLUDING LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO STEERING, LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO BRAKES, ETC. AFTER 8 DAYS OF ANALYSIS, THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM AND THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE PI NUMBER FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO KNOWN RESOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. BECAUSE THERE IS NO KNOWN SOLUTION, THEY ASKED ME TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING IT AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME WHEN A SOLUTION IS FOUND. WHEN I ASKED IF THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL KILL MYSELF, A FAMILY MEMBER OF ANOTHER DRIVER THEY ONLY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO OTHER SUGGESTIONS. I ESCALATED TO GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE, IT WAS COMPLETELY SAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALED MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE AND WHO WERE TOLD TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ONE EVEN STATED THAT THEY HIT A PEDESTRIAN AFTER LOSING CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS THE DRIVER CAN LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED.

POWER TRAIN
@ AROUND 32,000 MILES I THREW A CODE, STABILITRACK SYSTEM ENGAGED AND IT HAD A SIGNIFICANT LOSE IN POWER. I CHECKED THE CODE AND IT WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 7. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL AND PLUG WIRE. NOW AT 34,000 MILES IT HAPPENS AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME TO CYLINDER 6. KNOWING WHAT TO LOOK FOR I CHECKED THE WIRE, WHICH WAS HANGING FREELY FROM THE PLUG, AND IT WAS CORRODED INSIDE THE BOOT AND I'M SURE THE COIL WAS AS WELL BUT I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO BE REPAIRED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP ARE A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAZARD. THE LOW BEAM SETTING IS EXTREMELY DIM AND WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET OR AT DAWN/DUSK IT FEELS THAT YOU ARE TRAVELING WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS ON. THE HIGH BEAMS PROJECT WELL, BUT DISPERSE QUICKLY. I HAVE OWNED A 1987 GMC SIERRA, A 2000 CHEVROLET 1500, AND A 2002 GMC SIERRA ALL OF WHICH HAD PERFECT ILLUMINATION SYSTEMS. GM OUTFITTED THE 2014 WITH A SAFETY HAZARD. MOST OF MY DRIVING OCCURS IN THE ARCTIC, WHICH 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR IS PRACTICALLY DARK MOST OF THE DAY. I HAVE ALMOST HIT 3 MOOSE THIS MONTH BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD AHEAD UNDER HIGH BEAM OR LOW BEAM. I AM UPGRADING MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO THE COST OF $450.00 BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEE ON OUR REMOTE ROADS IN ALASKA. I LOVE THE TRUCK IN EVERY OTHER ASPECT, BUT THE STOCK HEADLIGHTS ARE GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THANKS.

WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING
THE VEHICLE HAS AN ESTABLISHED, MEASUREABLE AND DOCUMENTED VIBRATION PROBLEM THAT RANDOMLY INCREASES & DECREASES IN APPLITUDE & FREQUENCY AT ALL SPEEDS. GM IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE AFTER 12 DEALER ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS, INCLUDING MULTIPLE SETS OF TIRES, REAR DIFFERENTIAL, DRIVE SHAFTS AND SHOCK ABSORBERS ALL FAILING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM STATED VIBRATION IS INHERENT TO THE DESIGN AND NO FURTHER ACTION NEEDED OR WILL BE TAKEN EVER FOR VIBRATION, REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE. SUCH A VIBRATION IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE CUTTING WIRES TO WARNING TELL-TALES BY REMOVING A DRIVER'S ABILITY TO DISCERN TIRE/SUSPENSION/POWERTRAIN/STEERING PROBLEMS THAT CAN ONLY BE IDENTIFIED BY FEELING A VIBRATION (SUCH AS A LOOSE WHEEL OR DAMAGED SUSPSENSION COMPONENTS) PRIOR TO A CATASTROPHIC EVENT, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. NOT ONLY FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, BUT ALSO FOR ANY ROAD USER WHEN IT RESULTS IN THE DRIVER LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. GM'S OWN ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIST OF PARTS ABOVE IRREFUTABLY SUPPORTS THE INABILITY FOR A DRIVER TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF A VIBRATION. IF EXPERIENCED TECHNICIANS AND SUBSEQUENT CORPORATE ENGINEERS CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE VIBRATION AS BEING DIFFERENT FROM WHEELS, SUSPENSION, POWERTRAIN; THEN A NORMAL DRIVER WILL HAVE NO SUCH WARNINGS AVAILABLE SHOULD A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC SAFETY ISSUE BE PRESENT. FURTHER, SINCE GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS ANY FURTHER VIBRATION ISSUES WITH THIS VEHCILE, IT IS LIKE HAVE A AIRBAG WARNING TELL-TALE CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED WHETHER OR NOT A PROBLEM EXISTS & GM STATING TO JUST LIVE WITH IT. IN OTHER WORDS, IF I GET A LOOSE WHEEL, I GUESS GM FIGURES I WILL KNOW IT WHEN IT FALLS OFF. IN ADDITION, TO SAFETY DEFECT DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE VIBRATION IS AN EXTREME SOURCE OF DRIVER DISTRACTION & DRIVER RAGE AS ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO PRODUCE AND/OR REDUCE THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING.
