Where do I even begin? This truck is a nightmare. The only thing worse is GM's response or lack thereof. 1.Moving/shifting drivers seat; GM failed to fix it three times. 2.Missing lights on radio; GM states they're not on this truck(LTZ) even though it clearly shows the lights in all the brochures and the Sierra has it. 3.Condensation in the headlights. 4.Fluctuating RPMs and rough idle; GM can't fix it. 5.Heated seats don't function properly. 6.Poor radio reception. 7.Rear power sliding window motor constantly breaking. 8.Thin spots on the paint. 9.Loose column shifter. I will never purchase another GM product again.

This is my very first brand new truck out a dealer with only 200 miles on it. I bought it 2 days ago and tomorrow is going back to the dealer shop. I didn't drove tested as I had before on pre-owned cars, I figured zero miles zero problems WRONG!! after I drove my beautiful truck around town and on the freeway after purchased, I noticed a shake or vibration when idling, or on speed (while normal driving) and at a stop light. It can be feel even at the passenger seat and rear seats, it just SHAKES. I took it back to the dealer, 2 persons drove it and told me that there was definitely something wrong, that they also felt the bad idling. Now after reading all this reviews I think I will be stuck with a 43k dollars PU, not working the way it supposed...... Update: after going back and forth with GM and dealers denying the problem and after a lemon law case, FINALLY GOT RID OF THE TRUCK. The dealer paid me back all my money and my down payment as well. Went straight to toyota dealer and got a 5.7L TUNDRA !!! what a difference, now that's a real truck and don't even talk about resale value!! Only downside about Tundras is the MPG, but hey, no more CHEVY SHAKES and trips to the dealer, but that will make up for all GM hassle.

The new 2014 Silverado 5.3 v8 is not all its cracked up to be. I went from a 2012 5.7 Hemi Ram express to the new 2014 Silverado. Even with the increase in horsepower in the 2014, it lacks totally what I had in the Ram. To add to that I averaged 21mpg in the Ram, and I am lucky to get 16 in the new Silverado. Very disappointed.

I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado and I've only had it for about a year and a couple months I bought it certified used with only 32000 miles and I got it from Nimnicht Chevy and and pretty much ever since I got the truck I had issues six months after I bought the truck my AC went out so I thought it was a problem I could fix I replaced the valve and after a couple more months it leaked out again so I was working then I lost my job so I need in my truck to drive back and forth to look for a job so I didn't have enough time to take my truck to the shop to get it fixed so I just kept refilling it with refrigerant then after that I got a job and then my wife got one so she needed the truck to drive back and forth from work so then I didn't have enough time to take it up to the shop again and then finally a few days ago I had a major electrical issue I went and got gas turn my truck off right when I went to go turn the truck back on all the power in my truck completely went out I couldn't crank it I didn't have a radio I didn't have in cab lights nothing like I didn't even have a battery hooked up I read up and looked up some videos and found out there is a common issue with a ground wire that's on the in side between the dash and the a-pillar so I pulled that out and what do you know I didn't even have a nut on the driver side ground so I put a note on it then now I had power but still the lights were flicking the locks were going up and down and I still couldn't crank it I got it towed to my house check the battery it was pumping out 12.6 volts and it passed the battery test so that was fine I let it charge up overnight and I still couldn't get a jump off of it and I still couldn't charge it up enough to where it would crank and I was still having electrical issues so I get it towed to Garber Automall the Chevy side so that way they can take a look at it and before all this I called GM to let them know what issues I was having and told them I couldn't pay for it it only has 48000 miles on it it should not be having these issues and that they need to pay for it they said they will get it diagnosed all I had to pay was the Diagnostics fee which was $95 which that's fine I can do that but then come to find out they said there's something wrong with the battery which like I said before there was nothing wrong so that's $326 to put in a battery that's ridiculous and there is also a big malfunction with the stabilitrac that snatched the wheel out my hand as i was making a turn on the highway and almodt made me wreck ! Twice ! And then they said they fixed the AC and try to get ahold of GM GM said that they weren't going to help out with the AC either so now that's another $1,000 so all together for problems that's not my fault that's because of this piece of crap truck that I bought from a company that I thought I knew and loved and that I thought was going to help me because none of these are my fault it's all because of the truck I come to find out they won't take care of any of it so I have to pay $1,300 out of my pocket to get my truck back! So now I am very very pissed and also I do AutoGlass and work on a bunch of vehicles a lot of them are Chevy and since Chevy won't take care of this issue that is clearly their fault because of the POS truck they made I will be sure to never buy a chevy again and I will tell every customer I see this story and any customer with a chevy I will tell them to turn in this vehicle and buy a different one because it's a death trap and is a money pit and GM as a company is untrustworthy and unreliable . And I take care of about 1300 customers a year by myself . Just today I have 3 customers going to turn in their 2016 Silverado and going to Ford. I will be sure to post this same comment to every blog and video and website I can unroll something is done about this. YouTube or Google new chevy issues! You will see I am clearly not the only one !

Where do I begin? I bought my 2014 Silverado Z71 brand new from Cavender. Paid about 42K. Started off ok. Then I had to take it back to the dealer for recall after recall after recall. Something like 12. I lost count. I did all my service at Gunn. When my truck was under warranty I was treated pretty well by the service dept. Unless you count the time they 'Couldn't duplicate' a squeaking bed or the exhaust that made a chirping noise when switching from 4 to 8 cylinders (and they told me, after replacing the entire exhaust system, that it would probably happen again and there was nothing they would do if it did). Oh but once my warranty was out, most service staff I dealt with treated me worse. Noticably. For instance, after 3 years 8 months and only 33K miles on my truck (mind you this was a couple months ago. The truck was very well taken care of) my a/c started only blowing hot air. In the middle of the summer. After looking online and seeing that THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THAT MODEL, I naturally took it back to Gunn for help. They said it could be the condenser or a hose. But, in order to FIND the problem, they had to run a dye through the system and charge the system. Which cost me $250. Again, this is a known issue for Chevy. The manager tells me that the condenser needs to be replaced. How much would that cost? $1300 more!!! I lost it. So I left. I don't have that kind of money to spend on a basically BRAND NEW TRUCK. Right after that, another recall. Turns out the steering wheel might lock up while I'm driving... So that was the nail in the coffin. My dad has the same truck but 2wd. My uncle, brother, and cousin all drive Chevy's. I defended Chevy when friends would make fun of all the issues. Not anymore. I gave you guys way more chances to make things right than I should have. So, in conclusion, I got rid of that piece of sh*t and put my hard earned money into a 2017 Ram. Good riddance, Chevy.
