Owners have filed 195 complaints
about the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado with NHTSA between 2013 and 2021.
The largest single group is the transmission & drivetrain.
Across this model's run it ranks 7 of 24 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 22
Against the median year of the Chevrolet Silverado. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 100
20.5% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 100
90% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
Canada — Transport Canada
Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not
always mirror the American ones.
Recall 20242944,699 units in Canada
Electrical
Issue: On certain trucks, the repairs completed by a General Motors dealer during recall N192220470 (Transport Canada recall no. 2019-325) or customer satisfaction program no. N192270330 may not have been completed properly. As a result, a second repair is required. Additionally, certain trucks may not have had the updated parts installed during production. On certain trucks equipped with a power sliding rear window, the rear defroster wiring could overheat and melt. Safety Risk: Wiring that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the contact cover for the sliding rear window. The dealer will also update the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) software, if necessary. If the rear window or sliding glass assembly are damaged, they will be replaced.
Recall 2021212249 units in Canada
Seats And Restraints
Issue: On certain vehicles, the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the outboard side of the driver's seat may have been replaced with an incorrect part during a previous repair. Over time, this cable could flex and may eventually break. If this happens, the seat belt could detach in a crash. Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles that had the driver's seat belt pretensioner replaced after a previous recall repair (recall 2016-153 or 2018-233). Safety Risk: A seat belt that detaches in a crash could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver's outboard seat belt pretensioner assembly.
Recall 201953337,378 units in Canada
Brakes
Issue: On certain vehicles, there may be an error in the electronic-brake control module software. This could cause the driveline-protection system to activate when a wheel-speed sensor fails. If this happens, the brakes could apply and cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with four-wheel drive, a 5.3-L engine, and a 3.08 ratio rear axle. The problem can only occur when the vehicle is in four-wheel drive or automatic mode, and travelling at a speed between 66 and 97 km/h (41 and 60 mph). A wheel-speed sensor failure will cause the electronic stability control (ESC) and anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning lights to turn on, and a "Service StabiliTrak" message to display. Safety Risk: A vehicle that suddenly pulls to one side could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the electronic-brake control module software. General Motors advises that using two-wheel-drive mode can eliminate the risk until the recall repair is completed.
Recall 20194205,327 units in Canada
Other
Issue: This recall is for aftermarket replacement rear window glass produced by Vitro Automotriz. Certain rear window glass may not have been properly tempered. If the window breaks, the glass may separate into large pieces instead of very small ones. Note: This is a voluntary recall that is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Safety Risk: Glass that breaks in to large pieces could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify consumers by mail and instruct them to inspect the designation code marked on the rear window glass. Products affected by this recall have the designation “DOT 287” along with the lettering “VMR” (Replacement Market) and a date code that is before July 2019. This information is printed on the bottom corner of the glass. Consumers should contact Vitro's customer service at 1-412-995-6457 or argbacklites@vitro.com to arrange for replacement of the glass.
Recall 2019325159,474 units in Canada
Electrical
Issue: On certain trucks equipped with a power sliding rear window, the rear defroster circuit could overheat. This could cause melting, smoke or, in rare instances, a fire. Safety Risk: A fire could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealer to replace the covers for the buss bar and contacts for the rear sliding window. If the rear window or sliding glass assembly are damaged due to a problem with the rear defroster, they will also be replaced.
Recall 2019324310,121 units in Canada
Brakes
Issue: On certain vehicles, there could be a reduction in power brake assist due to a decrease in output from the vacuum pump. This could cause a hard brake pedal and an increase in brake pedal effort to stop the vehicle. Safety Risk: A sudden increase in brake pedal force could lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the electronic brake control module.
Recall 2017342152 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), which controls airbag and pretensioner deployment, contains a software defect which may prevent the deployment of frontal airbags and pretensioners in certain circumstances. Failure of frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy in a crash (when warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will reflash the SDM with new software. In vehicles with any previous deployment events recorded in the SDM, the dealers will replace the existing SDM with a new SDM containing the latest software.
Recall 201732579,369 units in Canada
Steering
Certain vehicles may experience a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist followed by a sudden return of EPS assist, particularly during low-speed turning manoeuvres due to an electrical/software issue. If EPS assist is lost and suddenly returned, the unexpected change in steering effort could affect vehicle control, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the EPS module software. Note: If power steering assist is lost and the vehicle reverts to manual steering, a dash message would be displayed stating there is an EPS problem. Additionally, this issue could also affect radio, stabilitrak, the driver information centre, chime, door-lock, air conditioning, and/or cruise control function.

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.

HERE'S MY STORY FOR THOSE THAT WILL LISTEN. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND A FEW DAYS LATER I MENTIONED TO THE SALESMAN THAT IT DROVE UNUSUAL AND HE REPLIED THAT IT COULD BE FROM SITTING ON THE LOT...SO I WAITED FOR THE FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTED THAT IT WAS LOUD CLUNKING AT DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR AND ALSO A CLUNK SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A COMPLETE STOP. THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO HARD THAT IT IS FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS THE PART TO ME THAT RAISES THE SAFETY CONCERN. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY CHECKED IT AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT SHOULD GET SMOOTHER AS IT BREAK IN. THEY WENT ON TO SAY IF I BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS FOUND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. SO NOW AT APPROX. 20,000 MILES AND I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS. THEY AGREED FOR MORE DIAGNOSTIC AND NOW THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT STATES THAT IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS FEELS LIKE IT GOT WORSE AND DRIVES TERRIBLE AND UNSAFE. MEANWHILE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S FUNNY THAT 2016 SILVERADO IS THE SAME TRUCK BUT WITHOUT THE PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PRODUCTIONS MISTAKE AND SUPPORT THERE PRODUCT. SILVERADO DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CONDITION SHOULD COMPLAIN TO MAKE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
