2014 Silverado multiple issues

[Beardy7]

I am sure these have been covered somewhere in this forum but here are some issues I am having with my truck:

 

2014 Chevy Silverado Z71 Crew Cab with 59k miles

 

1. I put the truck in 4x4 the other day and went to back up, turning the truck slightly to the left. It went about 5 ft and the truck stopped moving. Pulled forward and tried backing to the right and same thing. If you hit the gas it seems like it's in neutral for a second and then the back right tire will spin. Conditions at the time where rainy and muddy. The next day I tried it on dry pavement when it was sunny and had the same issue.

 

2. A/C doesn't work and I am assuming its with the A/C line issue but since my warranty is up they are talking $500+ to fix this issue since last I heard it wasn't a recall.

 

3. Satellite Radio antenna has only leaked once, but that's one too many times!! Again I was told it's not a recall even though there are numerous reports of issues and the dealership said since it's out of warranty it would be $350 to fix.

 

Love the truck but can't see dropping all that money to fix these issues when there are so many complaints about the same thing.

For the A/C, go to a reputable A/C shop or regular garage - they should be able to get you going (and do it right) for under $200.

 

For the shark fin on the roof, get clear 100% silicone caulk - no need to go crazy, just a thin, smooth bead around it & it won't leak again for years. Nobody would even notice it.

 

As to your 4x4, that is a normal thing IF some, or all, of your wheels are in contact with a hard surface. If all 4 were in mud, then there's an issue. On pavement it's completely normal for the front wheels to bind up when trying to turn in any direction - gets worse the sharper you turn.
