2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine

THE RELAY IN THE ENGINE SHUT THE POWER DOWN TO THE ENGINE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED IN -32 DEGREE WINDCHILL, WHICH STRANDED ME FOR AN HOUR. IN TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND DOING RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS AS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER I HAD STOPPED AND STARTED AFTER MANY TRIES. THE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS IS BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE HAVE A PROBLEM IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND IT TURN INTO A TRAGEDY FOR A FAMILY. SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NOTICED COOLANT STEAM WEEPING OUT OF THE FRONT GRILL. ORIGIN OF LEAK IS RADIATOR. THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE FROM GM FOR THIS ISSUE, 15829. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER AS WELL AS GM THAT MY VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. MY TRUCK YEAR/MAKE/MODEL IS CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN AS A VIABLE CANDIDATE FOR THIS ISSUE.

SOME 2014 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.3L OR 6.2L ENGINES (RPO L83 OR L86), MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT MAY RESULT IN STRESS FRACTURES ON THE RADIATOR, AND MAY LEAD TO COOLANT LEAKS. MY RADIATOR FAILED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAD TO PAY $1100 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR.

I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR LOCKED-UP. I BELIEVE THE COMPRESSOR LOCKING-UP CAUSED THE TRUCK TO STALL. HAD I BEEN TURNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, A COLLISION OR WORSE COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LT WITH 27,000 MILES. NOTICED COOLANT SMELL NEAR FRONT OF TRUCK AFTER DRIVING IT. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL SOURCES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH COOLANT LEAK. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK COOLANT LEAK. THEY FOUND OUT THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND TOLD ME GM HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE THERMOSTAT OVERCYCLING CAUSING THE RADIATOR TO DEVELOP STRESS CRACKS AND LEAK COOLANT. MY TRUCK HOWEVER WAS PASS THE 36 MONTH BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND MY TRUCK DOESN'T FALL UNDER THEIR SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN 15829 TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR 5 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. QUOTED AROUND $900 TO $1,000 TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT WITH A NEW VERSION THAT WILL NOT STRESS CRACK THE RADIATOR AND NEW RADIATOR (SAME PART AS ORIGINAL) IS PUT IN THE TRUCK. SO IF GM KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT WILL ONLY FIX CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME FAULTY THERMOSTAT. HOW IS THIS RIGHT?

FAULTY AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. THE GM REPLACEMENT PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND WILL TAKE 12+ WEEKS TO GET. THIS INDICATES THAT MANY SILVERADO OWNERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE SAME PART AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

PURCHASED A NEW 1500 IN MAY OF 2014 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER NOTICED THE ENGINE HAS A RANDOM MISS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS AT IDLE. WILL EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT JERK AND WILL ALSO HESITATE TO PICK UP SPEED SHORTLY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE JERK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO CHEVROLET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT ONLY HAVE 4 INVOICES (FROM 11/20/14-8/26/15) WITH THE COMPLAINT LISTED. EACH TIME CHEVROLET STATED NO PROBLEM FOUND OR PRESENT EXCEPT FOR THE MOST RECENT INVOICE DATED AUG. 26, 2015 IN WHICH AFTER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER BECAME INVOLVED BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE, HE DID STATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED BY A "SENIOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN" AND SINCE NO CODE WAS PRESENT TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM, GM WAS CONTACTED. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT GM STATED "THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERN BUT AS YET HAVE NOT FORMULATED A REPAIR." I AM PRESENTLY STILL EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, BUT SINCE GM HAS NOT "FORMULATED A REPAIR" FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE CAUSE AND IN WHICH THEY FEEL "IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE" I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. BE SURE EACH COMPLAINT IS DOCUMENTED VIA INVOICE NUMBER AND MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ARE TOLD VIA PHONE AND OR IN PERSON IS WHAT IS STATED ON THE INVOICE.

2014 CHEVY SILVERADO CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL

TRUCK ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SOLID. TOOK TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO REFUSED TO WORK ON IT BUT TOLD ME THE 3 CODES SHOWING RELATED TO THE CAMSHAFT. DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING AS IT WAS JERKING AROUND THE ENTIRE TIME. CHEVROLET HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID, AGAIN, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. TOLD THEM THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERS ARE JUST CLEARING THE CODES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ON THE WARRANTY WORK. AWAITING RESOLUTION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THEY TOLD ME FOR NOW, I JUST NEED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT LANDERS CHEVROLET, BENTON, AR 72015, ON 10/30/14. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE OIL. ON NOVEMBER 6, 2014, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE STREET AT A RATE OF 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATES THAT THE BACK TIRES ARE WORN WHICH INDICATES ABUSE. GM WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE CONTACTED THEM, THE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE STATED THAT THE TIRES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM THEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEIR GM REP. STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE TIRES. WE CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND WHEN THE REPRESENTATIVE CALLED US BACK, THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE UNDER WARRANTY BASED ON THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

AFTER VEHICLE SITS IN HOT SUNLIGHT FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, AND AC IS RAN-- THERE IS A LOUD "POPPING NOISE" FROM THE CENTER AREA OF THE DASH. THE SOUND IS VERY SIMILAR TO A ROCK OR OBJECT HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. THIS ISSUE HAS CONTINUED AND RECENTLY TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OTHER RECALL ISSUE AND HAD THEM CHECK THIS. THE SERVICE ADVISER FIRST TOLD ME THEY DUPLICATED THE ISSUE AND WOULD HAVE TO DISMANTLED THE DASH FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK, AND THEY TOLD ME THE ISSUE SEEMED CORRECTED. THE COMPLETED SERVICE TICKET INDICATES PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED OR DETERMINED. THE DAY I DROVE HOME FROM THE SHOP THE VEHICLE MADE THIS SAME NOISE THREE TIMES. I WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT GM DEALER FOR FOLLOW UP. *TR
