Used 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Consumer Reviews
2014 Silverado transmission issue
I got a used truck from a Chevy dealership and it was the worst thing you can possible do. I bought an extended warranty and had a couple miles left on the manufacturer warranty when I got the truck. Now I know the transmission fluid had never been changed from the time that the dealership sold the truck to the original owner. Also it was never changed when they got it back. Anyhow the transmission is in bad shape. I have been told by the dealer that the transmissions usually fall apart around 120,000 miles. I expressed to them that I would not have choose this truck if I new that was the case. I bought the truck at 89,000 miles. Not only is this a major financial disaster for me. I cannot get much for the vehicle in this condition. I would not recommend this vehicle for my worst enemy beware and avoid this head ache.

The transmission in these truck are terrible
For the most part I love my truck. The ride is excellent, smooth and makes you watch the speed, that's how good the ride is. The 5.3 is not bad, other than that you have to watch your oil level. Was told it's normal to burn a quart in a 1000 miles after a change, ridiculous. The transmission (6l80) is garbage, and GM knows, research the issues and there's a class action lawsuit on the 8 speed transmission. Should be one on the 6l80 too. You will need to upgrade the headlights and fog lights to LED bulbs. I'm a die heart Chevrolet guy, never owned anything else

Truck shuts off, stabilitrak lights comes on often
I bought the truck used but I never thought I would have so many problems. I got the truck with 75,000 miles and I’m at 91,000 right now. I’ve had to replace the lower and upper control ball joints due to normal wear and tear which is fine. But what I hate is that the truck has shut off on me several times when making a turn or just simply going straight. The steering wheel locks up and there’s nothing you can do but besides to wait until the truck turns on again. Also, the trucks stabilitrak light will come on at random times and the truck will start to jerk back and forth, lights will start to flicker inside. This has almost made me get into an accident which is very frustrating. Lastly, I’ve taken the truck to the dealer 3 times and they cannot find a valid reason for which my truck keeps doing this which is ridiculous!! They keep telling me that everything checks out fine when running diagnostics and they can’t find the problem? Chevy trucks look nice but I would honestly recommend looking at another brand. It’s not worth the time or money. I will be trading the truck in soon. I am not going to put the safety of my family at risk over this stupid truck.
