12/10/25 took wife’s vehicle to church, came home, at 11:22pm a loud noise from outside brought us out of bed, ran to door, wife asked if I smelled something, went outside and seen the glow from in front of garage, I ran to the garage and saw truck burning from engine bay, hooked up water hose, didn’t faze it, took fire department 20 minutes to show, truck has not been driven since 12/6/25, I live 2.5 miles back in the hills, police asked for surveillance video and showed the truck just started burning under the hood, now I’m getting the run around by AS insurance company
I believe Ray Chevrolet (Antioch, IL & Fox Lake, IL) are negligent in that they did not apply treatment as described in TSB #14002A while they had custody of our 2014 Chevy Silverado. The vehicle has been maintained mostly by the Fox Lake, IL location, but was purchased at the Antioch, IL location new. TSB #14002a clearly states that before the vehicle is released to the customer that the treatment should be applied. The vehicle has been maintained mostly at the Ray Chevrolet Fox Lake, Il 60020 dealership location over the past 10 or 11 years. Not once did any mechanic or service advisor mention TSB #14002A nor the deteriorating state of the truck's frame. This became a safety issue as described below. I was traveling on [XXX] which is under construction. I hit a bump and temporarily lost control of the vehicle. I also talked to my wife who also drives the vehicle. She said it sounded like an empty gas can was rolling around in the truck's bed. I took the vehicle into Ray Chevrolet at the Fox Lake, Il 60020 location and talked to a service advisor and told him about temporarily losing control of the vehicle and what my wife said about the loud bangs. We received notification from the Ray Chevrolet Fox Lake, Il dealership's service center via DM with a video attached. I watched the video and called the service advisor. The service advisor told me that the repair wasn't worth doing because it was more expensive to do than what the truck was worth. The same service advisor told my wife they would not do the repair which is replacing the truck's frame at an estimated cost of $15,000.00. He also told my wife that the truck is unsafe to drive. Because these service centers did not apply treatment either when the truck was purchased new or during the 10 or so years it's been serviced by these service centers, I believe these service centers have been negligent in their responsibilities to me and my wife. The truck has 106,044 miles. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Chevy and GMC pick-ups are having engines blow up because of a problem with the system that makes the pickup go from 8 cylinder to 4 cylinder. This needs to be looked into immediately. Chevy has taken no action/responsibility to alert people that this is a problem with their vehicles. At the advice of our mechanic, we purchased something that completely turns off the active fuel management or multiple displacement system. This is an almost certain problem waiting to happen. Chevy should be notifying people of the problem and offering to pay for the fix. Or maybe a recall should be issued. Please look into this.

service trailer brake system keeps coming on along with a ding ding ding. I don't even use this.
The entire frame has disintegrated. Not repairable, and GMC will not fix it even though this was a problem.
The frame on my truck is completely rusted out. There isn't a spot of rust anywhere else on my truck. I know there is knowledge of a wax coating problem. Why isn't this being fixed? I called GM corporate office and no one could tell me anything. They acted like they had no idea what was going on. I also tried my local dealership.... I left a message over a week ago and no one has called me back. What is going to be done about this issue?? I know others that have the same issue and no one is telling us anything.

Brought truck into dealer for trade in. Dealer refused to offer trade due to excessive rusting of the frame. Dealer informed me that this situation has been prevalent in Chevy trucks due to negligence during the manufacturing process. Truck body and engine are in good condition. only 120000 miles. After leaving dealership researched this problem on line and now see that there are numerous consumers that have suffered the same fate. This is totally unacceptable and GM should do something about this to compensate their customers. GM apparently failed to treat the steel frame properly during manufacturing causing the steel to deteriorate prematurely.
My pickup has 71,000 miles and the frame has cracks in it and very rusted out. There’s got to be something done , I am still paying for it, I have it for roughly 2 1/2 years. Even though it is a 2014 it looks to be good shape, but don’t llook at the frame. My mechanic will not put it on a lift because he is afraid crushing it completely. Pictures attached.
Excessive frame rust, resulting in a weak spot.
Sunroof exploded
Vehicle and warranty was purchased 6/4/22. The following warning signs: service 4WD, service trailer brake system, it has shut off while driving on 6 separate occasions, vehicle locks after losing power and can’t put car in neutral, and several other safety issues, noise coming from engine.
The air conditioner condenser has a small leak causing the refrigerant to leak out. This is a known problem with all gm Silverado 2014-2017 and a recall needs to be issued. They are all leaking in the same place due to a faulty weld from the factory.
Service Trailer Brake system goes off constantly over and over for several minutes while driving. It’s very distracting to the driver and causes fear for using brakes and then failing.
Entire frame completely rusted out. Do not know the exact date it happened but just noticed it.
I started my truck remotely, when I got into my truck the back windshield broke. GM has a customer satisfaction program (N192265660). My vehicle is not covered, GM advised me to file a complaint to get my vehicle covered under the same program.
The transmission is throwing codes for selanoids and I've gone online and seems there's millions out there with the same problem in these chevrolet vehicles.
2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB LT. A/C BLOWS HOT AIR A/C CONDENSER IS LEAKING. THIS SEAMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I AND MANY MORE PEOPLE THINK SHOULD BE A RECALL STARTED ON. MY 2014 SIVERODO ONLY HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOYAL CHEVROLET TRUCK CUSTOMER. THIS VEHICLE IS IN ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR REPAIRED.
The vehicle wobbles really bad while driving at high speeds. I have heard of a lot of other people having this same issue. Please look into it. Thank you.
TRUCK RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND HAVE IT IN SHE SHOP BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. UPON THE DEALER INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED A HOLE TO BE IN THE CONDENSER BY THE RADIATOR CAUSING A BIG LEAK.
BRAKING IS HARD. VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING AND PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND IT WAS VERY HARD
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY VEHICLE. TURNS OUT IT IS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. MY VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED SO NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS GOING ON , BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL. THAT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PEICE FOR IT TO GIVE OUT JUST LIKE THAT. IN ALL HONESTY HAS TO BE THE WORST MODEL OF CHEVY I HAVE OWNED. SO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM IN A NEWER VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED THE MECHANICS DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
My 2014 Chevy Silverado crew cab 1500 has started to vibrate. It’s like it comes and goes sometime. I was driving down the highway and something didn’t feel right so I thought it was the road surface that was making my truck feel that way. I then was driving on a newly resurfaced road an it was feeling the same like I had a flat tire. The tires were ok. It had this vibration.
