 Description of the problemOn approximately july 19, 2014, the hill descent mode failed on my 2014 silverado 1500 as i was driving down a mountain in the state of washington. The truck took off when this failed and i had to manually use my brakes in order to avoid crashing into any vehicles ahead. I took the vehicle in to the dealer who, and i quote 'they couldn't duplicate the concern and there were no codes stored in the system'. Only four miles were put on the truck while it was in their shop. How can you possibly test this failure if you didn't drive it in the mountains? Next major issue was the onstar antenna began to leak into the cab, soaking the headliner, the floor and leaking into the dash where all the electrical components are. Dealer 'didn't have the part to fix this' and it continues to leak to this day. And finally, having noticed all the posts about rust underneath this truck, i too, discovered that the 'wax' coating had deteriorated and major rust issues had developed. I have owned chevrolet trucks for nearly 20 years and i have never, ever found them to be the piece of junk this vehicle is. The hill descent mode is a serious and potentially deadly problem. These issues have been reported to the ceo of gm in a detailed letter with pictures to prove everything that is wrong with this truck. Caution*****before you shell out fifty grand for this truck, read each and every post on this website in order to make an informed decision.
