Description of the problem | 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). |
