SEATS

i purchased a 2014 silverado crew cab ltz z71 on august 16. almost immediately it began having issues with the safety systems that were extra modules on this vehicle. parking assist sensors do not work consistently, lane departure warning system fails to initialize or operate consistently and downhill grade breaking system fails to initialize or operate consistently, forward collision warning system fails to initialize and operate consistently. (i have photographs of the safety features failing). in addition, the heated/cooled seats (driver side) overheats with driver weighing 280 lbs - causing rear vent /exhaust covers to separate from the seat. seat gets very hot- passengers in back of vehicle complain about extreme heat (again photographed failures) failures with safety system functionality are described by multiple owners of the same model truck (ltz) that i purchased. same problems are described throughout this thread http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/152662-any-new-2014-silverado-owners-having-issues-with-their-truck took to dealership- they kept for two days. unable to reproduce problems. bcm and infotainment center updates failed to resolve. heated/cooled seat overheating was not resolved- however, i duplicated it immediately upon departing from the dealership. mileage is now 4300 miles with same problems. gm case [xxx] was opened on 9/9/13 and all issues remain unresolved after bcm update. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

SEATS

found that the rear head restraints in the crew cab would not raise high enough to protect an adult size person's head from hitting the glass or getting a severe neck injury in a rear end collision. this is a design flaw for a vehicle marketed as a people mover. i have issued complaints to chevy via web and letter. older truck (2005) didn't have this flaw in safety as the head restraints could be raised significantly higher. this vehicle should be recalled and a fix mandatory.

driving on the freeway at 70 mph and the kid in the back of the crewcab pickup opened the rear door. the truck locks the doors when it is put into drive. but when he pulled on the door latch it opened up. i thought the doors are not supposed to open while the vehicle is moving. when i tested this at home, with the truck running and in drive, any of the doors will open up on the 2nd pull on the latch. the 1st pull unlocks the door and on the 2nd pull it opens the door. i have had many other trucks and they never did this. seems like a safety issue to me. can youtell me if the nhtsa has any safety rules on this? i called the dealer and talked with the service advisor and he confirmed that other 2014 silverados do this to, so he had no fix for it. there is a child lock out switch for the read doors, but that would have to be manually set every time you put it in drive and would not lock either of the front two doors. please let me know if there is a safety rule for this.

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 .

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

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.

2014 chevrolet silverado. consumer writes in regards to malfunction of pedal adjustment. *smd the consumer stated the cargo light button and pedal adjustment button did not work, only a day after purchasing the vehicle. the consumer and her husband then decided to take a drive. when her husband put the truck in reverse, and like he always did, he slowly took his foot off the brake, and let the truck idle backwards. however, when he did, the brake pedal immediately adjusted up for a very short person and the accelerator pedal went to the floor, and the vehicle shot out of the garage very fast. the consumer was informed both pedals adjusted together, but that wasn't the way it seemed. he immediately tried to hit the brake, but it was adjusted up so high, he couldn't get his foot on it, until they were almost through the carport and the vehicle struck one of the steel posts of the carport, doing several thousands dollars of damage. the next morning, the vehicle was towed to the dealer, for an inspection. the next day, the dealer called, stating they were unable to find a problem. also, the navigation system would not save an address. updated 03/27/14

POWER TRAIN

was in a turn lane following a vehicle going slightly uphill rolling up to an intersection to make a left. the vehicle in front of me made their turn and while i was still rolling i checked oncoming traffic. there was a vehicle coming in the other direction, but i too had time to make the turn in front of the oncoming vehicle. i stepped on the accelerator and it did nothing for what seemed like a half of a second before finally accelerating. it was as if it was the old days when we had a badly tuned carburetor and the engine bogged before finally taking off. only, the truck doesn't bog, it just doesn't respond as quickly as it should all the time. i had the vehicle in "drive" so perhaps it was running in v4 and/or in the middle of a transmission shift or downshift. regardless, an accelerator that does not respond the same way every time but varies depending on driving conditions is in my opinion dangerous.

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.

i don't like the auto locks on all the doors. if you don't put the truck in park, the doors will not unlock, and if the kids pull the handle before i put in park, you have to go outside the truck and open the door. i have turned off all the locks and it still does it, and the dealership says that is just the way they are made now. if i was in an accident and the car was still in gear, my kids would be trapped in the truck, because even hitting the unlock buttons will not open the doors. this is very concerning, i can't even drop the kids off at school in the line because i have to put the truck in park in order for the doors to unlock and that is after i hit the unlock button to get them to unlock. this is very scary to my wife and i. what can be done? thanks.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

shortly after starting truck and departing to local store i noticed a strong fuel odor. after driving approximately 3-4 miles my gas tank went from 3/4 full to nearly empty, around the same time passerby's started flagging me down stating that my truck was leaking fuel and smoking from underneath. i immediately pulled over to closest parking lot to realize the truck was massively leaking fuel from different areas and was indeed smoking as if it was about to catch fire. i turned the truck off and moved away. the fuel leak stopped and the smoke eventually dissipated. it was been towed back to dealer by chevrolet road side and is currently being checked for the problem.

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.
