Was driving to physical therapy. Pulled up to a stop light and "stabilitrack failure" poped up. Was pulling into the doctors office not 8 min L8R came up again but this time steering wheel locked up then un locked then locked up multiple times while I was trying to pull into a parking space. Thankfully I was going at an extremely low speed and I could control the vehicle between it locking and unlocking. When I left the doctors office I noticed my settings reset. EX dashboard display showed the radio station instead of the fuel economy. I simply changed it and noticed the computer erased my previous fuel economy. I'm assuming theirs some malfunction between the computer and these systems. And from the looks of it my vehicle isn't the only vehicle with this issue. Now my check engine light IS on and I'll be taking this back to the dealer and it will be fixed and never happen again or I won't purchase another gm vehicle.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

The vehicle has an established, measureable and documented vibration problem that randomly increases & decreases in applitude & frequency at all speeds. gm IS unable to resolve after 12 dealer attempts to address, including multiple sets of tires, rear differential, drive shafts and shock absorbers all failing to resolve the issue. gm stated vibration IS inherent to the design and no further action needed or will be taken ever for vibration, regardless of circumstance. such a vibration IS a significant safety defect because it IS essentially like cutting wires to warning tell-tales by removing a driver's ability to discern tire/suspension/powertrain/steering problems that can only be identified by feeling a vibration (such as a loose wheel or damaged suspsension components) prior to a catastrophic event, especially at high speeds. Not only for the vehicle occupants, but also for any road user when it results in the driver loosing control of the vehicle. gm's own attempts to fix the vehicle with the list of parts above irrefutably supports the inability for a driver to identify the source of a vibration. If experienced technicians and subsequent corporate engineers cannot recognize the vibration as being different from wheels, suspension, powertrain; then a normal driver will have no such warnings available should a potentially catastrophic safety issue be present. further, since gm refuses to address any further vibration issues with this vehcile, it IS like have a airbag warning tell-tale continuously illuminated whether or not a problem exists & gm stating to just live with it. In other words, if I get a loose wheel, I guess gm figures I will know it when it falls off. in addition, to safety defect described above, the vibration IS an extreme source of driver distraction & driver rage as attempts are made to produce and/or reduce the vibration while driving.
