I OWN A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE TRAVELING T A A LOW RATE OF SPEED/UNDER 40 MPH, THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE HESITATES NUMEROUS TIMES AND STALLS. THE VEHICLE ALMOST SHUTS OFF BUT RECOVERS JUST BEFORE SHUTTING OFF AND THE START OF LOSING POWER THE VEHICLE JUMPS AND STOPS. CALLED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ALMOST FROME WEEK ONE AFTER PURCHASE UNTIL THIS DATE OF REPORTING.
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.

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

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

UPON STARTUP, MY TRUCK'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND THE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AT 10,383 MILES. THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND RECEIVED A HARD CODE P0420 BANK 1, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND THE CODES CLEARED OUT. MAINLY REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS OLD AND HAS 10,383 MILES UPON FAILURE. CATALYTIC CONVERTERS SHOULD LAST LONGER. *TR
I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT ON TO A CITY STREET AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE, PLANNING TO GET UP TO ABOUT 25 MPH BECAUSE THERE WAS A RED LIGHT A BLOCK AWAY. THE TRUCK RESPONDED AS IF I HAD FLOORED THE PEDAL. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL AND THE TRUCK KEPT ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE. I HIT THE BRAKES THINKING THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD GONE NUTS, BUT HITTING THE BRAKES WOULD NOT TURN IT OFF. IT KEPT ACCELERATING WITH THE TACH OVER 5000. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO IDLE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN AT FULL THROTTLE. I PUT IT BACK IN NEUTRAL, MOVED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. THEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. I'M 72; IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING BY HERSELF, SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS WRECK. THE TRUCK IS A 2014 SILVERADO, BOUGHT 4 WEEKS AGO, 6 CYLINDER WORK TRUCK. *TR
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1 WEEK AGO TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED 2 DAYS AGO. THE CHEVROLET DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE RECALL FOR POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER ONLINE AND IT SHOWS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT STILL HAS A WARNING FOR NOT BEING SERVICED AS PER CHEVROLET AND NHTSA WEBSITES. BASICALLY, THE CHEVROLET DEALER SOLD ME A NEW VEHICLE ON RECALL AGAINST THE COMPANY POLICY, DOCUMENT DCS3115 (NOTICE TO DEALERS), AS POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE . THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME IF THERE WAS ANY REPROGRAMMING DONE AS REQUIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER WHO KNOWS MY VEHICLE TODAY AND HE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL AT ALL AND STATED HE GET BACK TO ME . ACCORDING TO GM CUSTOMER CARE AND AFTERSALES ON YOUR WEBSITE , ALL CHEVROLET AND GM DEALERS WERE SENT AND URGENT STOP DELIVERY ORDER ON JANUARY 10, 2014 ADDRESSED TO THE DEALER, GENERAL MANGERS, NEW VEHICLE SALES MANAGERS AND SERVICE MANAGERS TO STOP DELIVERY OF THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND TO REPROGRAM THEM PRIOR TO SALES. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHETHER IT WAS SERVICED OR WHETHER IT IS AT RISK OF CATCHING FIRE. THIS HAS SHOWN LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN CHEVROLET AND ITS LOCAL DEALER IN COMMUNICATION, TRUST, AND CONFIDENCE. IT HAS PLACED ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. IT HAS VIOLATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OF DISCLOSURE TO THE CUSTOMER AND HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN ITS POLICIES AND PROTOCOL IN THE HANDLING OF RECALL AS MANDATED BY ITS CUSTOMER POLICIES GM CUSTOMER CARE DSC3115 AND US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NHTSA MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY TITLE 49, UNITED STATES CODE CHAPTER 301 OF MAY 2013, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF COUNSEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE . *TR
