AC is out and had 4 exhaust systems installed
I have a 2014 Silverado LT Crew Cab Z71 and I have had nothing but problems with this thing and it is time to go with a different Mfr. Since i have had this truck (Jan, 2015 with 10,000 miles on it) I have had the exhaust system replaced 4 times. The dealer/service department and even the sales staff informed me that Chevy knows they have problems with the exhaust valves (yet the put them on through at least 2016). I asked / begged Chevy to replace the system with an after market system after having the 4th one go out only to be told they would not do that. I explained that this would be my 5th system and I am tired of having to bring it in every 6 months to have it replace. The service manager at my dealership got involved and using there dealer credits purchased and installed a brand new Borjla system at there expense. Thanks Chevy for nothing and and not standing behind your product even though you have issued a service bulletin on this issue. My last straw is my AC system which went out. I have charged it 3 times and withing a week or less it is blowing hot air again. I was told by the service department today that he has had quite a few of 2014's come in with the exact same problem (Condenser failure). My truck has been in the shop counting the visit coming this Friday a total of 10 times in tow and a half years for either failed this or that or some sort of a recall. I have had my shark fin antenna replaced after water leaked in all over my headliner (I live near Seattle so you know we get a lot of rain), 4 exhaust systems, 3 recalls and as i mentioned the antennae leak. I expressed to the dealer and to Chevy/GM that if they believe I am going to pay $1,000 plus dollars to have my AC repaired they are nuts. I will get rid of this piece of crap (Initial quality me ...) and buy something else. My brother who just purchased a new truck asked me about mine because he liked it when we took it fishing a few times if he should by one I told him what I have been through with mine, what my friend has been through with his 2015, what my salesman has been through with his 2014 Sierra. Needless to say he bought a Tundra (had an f-350). After reading about all the problems folks are having with there 2014 Silverado AC systems. I wish for once a company like Chevy would just do what's right and fix what they have to know is a failed system. I know that is wishful thinking but rest assured after having this being my 3rd Chevy/GMC it will be my last.

I could tell a similar tale about my new ford f-150. Total POS from day one. The ford dealership literally told me
"We don't represent ford motor company." ??? Hot poo tranny went bad, 3 sets of brakes in 50K. Alignment ruined
a brand new set of tires in less than 10k miles. Overall, 28 OEM items either defective or poorly designed failed in less than
60K miles.
By contrast, my Chevy pickup trucks have been a Godsend. Not perfect, but I've seen far worse, from folks who
brag a lot harder. (and charge a lot more)
