I was driving on the highway when it was snowing. And my service power steering light came on. And the steering got hard and I was on a curve so I went off the road because I could not control the vehicle since it was so instant. I got out of the center median and drove it home. Come to find out there was a recall for it I don't think it was properly done.

SEAT BELTS

4 complaints

My seatbelt cable broke on 8/9/2021. I put the belt on and as I was adjusting the belts, the belt/cable that is attached to the floor by driver side door broke. I took it to the Chevrolet dealership to get it fixed and I did see that there was a recall on my model, but my VIN wasn’t listed so the dealership was gonna charge me for the repair. My car has the same issue with the recall but they wanted to charge me to get it fixed even though it was a safety issue! It’s not my fault that the cable broke! It’s Chevrolets’! (NHTSA Recall 16V518) So I’ve been driving without a seatbelt now for 8 days. The dealership didn’t even sound concerned that I could have gone thru my windshield if I were in a wreck! Yes, they actually let me leave the dealership without a seatbelt! No more Chevrolets for me!

I was in the driver seat. I put my seatbelt on and adjusted the belts and pulled the whole seatbelt out!. I had to drive home without a seatbelt. Pretty scary.

Aug 09, 2021

I WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED TODAY WHEN I GOT INTO MY 2014 CHEVROLET SS AND THE SEATBELT DETACHED FROM ITS ANCHOR POINT IN MY HAND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FROM THE ATTACHED PICTURES, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW FORTUNATE I AM TO BE ALIVE. THIS HAS BEEN MY FAMILY CAR FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, AND JUST THE MERE THOUGHT THAT I HAVE BEEN PUTTING MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK IN THIS CAR IS VERY UPSETTING. I AM DILIGENT WITH ALL MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY RECALLS. FROM THE ATTACHED SERVICE INVOICE YOU CAN SEE THAT I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MUZI CHEVROLET IN NEEDHAM, MA ON 12/27/2016 TO HAVE SERVICE CAMPAIGN 15822 PERFORMED TO REPLACE POTENTIALLY FAULTY SEATBELT ANCHOR CABLES. BECAUSE SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE PARAMOUNT, I ACTED ON THIS VERY SERIOUS RECALL IMMEDIATELY, BUT I AM NOW LEFT WONDERING WHETHER THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED WITH AN UPDATED FAULTY PART, OR IF THE RECALL WAS EVER PERFORMED AT ALL. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS 2014 SS, AND WAS THE FIRST OWNER OF A PONTIAC G8 GT FOR 5 YEARS BEFORE THAT. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THESE PERFORMANCE CARS, BUT MY FAITH IN GM PRODUCTS HAS BEEN SHATTERED. I NOW FIND MYSELF WITHOUT A CAR BUT I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING.

The ONstar module has very high idle power drain. As a result of this, my car battery died when not driven for a week, regardless of the condition/age of the battery. This has occured consistently since I bought the car new and has left me stranded on multiple occasions. This problem has been addressed in the 2015 model years of my car but the recall never applied to my 2014 car, which has the exact same battery drain issue (see SB-10057076-5170 and bulletin no. 14395). I just want the manufacturer to address this so I can get my car fixed without paying a ridiculous price.

IT STARTED A MONTH AGO ON MY WAY TO AN INTERVIEW I WAS ON THE I 35 HERE IN DALLAS AND THE I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY GOING MPH 60 AND I GET A MESSAGE IN THE DIC TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL WITH NUMEROUS SS OWNERS THAT HAVE THE ISSUES. THE THREAD CAN BE FOUND HERE HTTP://WWW.SSFORUMS.COM/FORUM/WARRANTY-SERVICE-ISSUES/25833-POWER-STEERING-FAILURE.HTML . THERE IS A RECALL TO JUST DEGREASE THE CONNECTORS BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK AND PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THE STEERING GEARS WHICH HAVE A RECALL ON ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH IS THE CAPRICE PPV.

MY NEW SS WAS MODIFIED WITH HAND CONTROLS. I WAS GOING INTO A TURN AT 50MPH AND MY KNEE GOT CAUGHT BEHIND THE HAND CONTROLS NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUSH MY BRAKES IN GOING AROUND A TURN. I HIT THE CURB TAKING OUT TWO TREES THEN HITTING A THIRD TREE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE FRONT END OF MY CAR IS NOW GONE WITH THE RADIATOR PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF BUT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP IT WAS NO LONGER RUNNING AND ONSTAR AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON ASKING IF EVERYONE WAS OK SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A CRASH. LUCKILY ME AND MY FRIEND RIDING ALONG WERE NOT INJURED. *TR

THE TRIM IN THE CHEVROLET SS 2014 IS HIGHLY REFLECTIVE AND DURING PERIODS OF HIGH SUN THE DRIVER IS SIMPLY BLINDED BY THE TRIM AROUND GPS UNIT, AROUND SHIFTER, AND EVEN THE LITTLE CIRCLE AROUND THE START BUTTON IS ENOUGH TO BLIND A DRIVER. THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WAS STRONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO TRY AND COVER IT OR BLOCK IT WHILE DRIVING OR BY PUTTING A HAND IN FRONT OF MY FACE. WEARING SUN GLASSES DOES NOT HELP UNLESS THEY COVER THE FULL 180 DEGREES AS THE REFLECTION HITS FROM THE SIDE. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ON SSFORUMS.COM WITH PEOPLE PAINTING THE TRIM AND CUSTOMIZING IT INTO ANY COLOR OTHER THEN THE CURRENT, ON BRAND NEW CARS! GM ALREADY HAS THE SAME TRIM IN BLACK IN AUSTRALIA ON THE SV6 SEDAN AND CAN REMEDY THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH CHEVY SUPPORT WHO FREQUENT SSOFORUMS.COM AND THEY CONTACTED LORI (SERVICE MANAGER) AT 86TH ST CHEVROLET IN BROOKLYN, NY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. FOR THIS REASON, I AM RAISING MY CONCERN HERE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT ALREADY HAS A FIX IN PLACE BUT NOBODY IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *JS
