GM CEO Mary Barra Talks Accelerated EV Production Including Chevrolet Silverado E Time to switch.Ĭhevrolet Previews Equinox EV, Signals Mainstream PushĬhevrolet to Debut 2024 Silverado EV at $39,000 in Early 2023Ĭhevrolet to Restart Corvette Production After Tornado Damage I am most certainly not going to purchase another vehicle from Chevy. My wife's Cruze has its share of issues as well. Ive always bought Chevy vehicles and they all had some sort of problem. This truck is our family vehicle but I cannot have my children sitting in the back seat sweating to death. After that it was back to the same hot air.
I put some Freon in the line and it blew cold air for about a week or so. I couldn't believe that a truck purchased new would already be having AC problems. Lastly the AC suddenly starts blowing hot air. The screen was basically frozen for a few hours. The volume does not work the station will not change. After a few days it started working again. This was a huge issue for me as my wife depends on that to reverse the vehicle properly. Second, Out of nowhere the back up camera stops working. First, my battery went out and because the warranty was expired I was left to purchase a new battery out of pocket. Didn't start having issues up until my mileage reached 37,500 miles.

If you are having your AC repaired, It might help to point out all of the complaints and see if you can get it replaced under warranty, or if they will work with you on bringing down the price. There have not been any recalls issued for the hose and bracket problems, but it sounds like the issue is wide spread enough that dealers should be aware of the proper repairs. I asked them why the 2016 models do not have the bracket and was told the a/c hose was redesigned for them and the new hose would not work on a 2014 model.” Brad is furious because he had to pay for the repair and General Motors will not reimburse him.Īnother owner, from Texarkana, adds “Was told by the dealer that a bracket had broken and a hose came loose and it would be 550.00 dollars to fix. Brad says they told him “They have a design flaw in the metal part of the hose so we replace the hose and add a support bracket. One owner named Brad, from Little Rock, says a dealership finally levelled with him and told him what the real problem is. Got my truck back and about 2 months later guess what? You guessed, the a/c went out again and another compressor went bad.”Ī check of the website that monitors complaints about all vehicles, finds that there have been 11 formal complaints made about the ongoing problems with the air conditioning on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverados. Warranty took care of it but I was left without a vehicle for a few days and upset that practically a new vehicle was already having issues. The owners say the repairs take time and never fix the problem for long. The air conditioner suddenly starts blowing warm air. What appears to be the most upsetting is that the same issues keep reoccurring.
Other drivers are reporting similar issues. Well here we are now with the temps in the 100's in San Antonio 13 months after the ac was fixed, and it's broke again. I was just a hair over the 36000 miles already in a year but the service guy took care of me. So I take it in and it was a broken line. Last year during the height of summer with my kids in the truck my ac broke. This owner reported his problem, in late August of 2016. This may very well be the last Chevy I ever buy.” I was planning to take the kids out on the boat, but I am not putting them in a hot truck with no AC. Now it's Friday, no service centers are open, and I live in the south so it is hot and I have no AC. Today, on the way home from work, the compressor seized and the belt broke. I was planning to buy one for my daughter, but not with this track record. This 2014 Silverado owner says he has had to take it in for repairs every three months. The last post, in September of 2016, pretty well sums up the frustration. One forum I checked has 19 pages of complaints dedicated to the air conditioning issues.
