2014 Chevrolet Ss problems

chevrolet logo

Super Sport, or SS, is the signature performance option package offered by Chevrolet on a limited number of its vehicles. All SS models come with distinctive "SS" markings on their exterior. The SS package was first made available for the 1961 Impala. Some of the other models bearing the SS badge include the Camaro, Chevelle, El Camino, Impala, Monte Carlo, Nova and Chevrolet Pickup Trucks. Current SS models are produced by the GM Performance Division.

General Motors Company's Australian subsidiary Holden offers SS models in its range of Holden Commodore sedans and sportwagons, and also in the Holden Ute range of two-door coupé utilities.

History

In December 1956, Chevrolet unveiled a show car based on the first generation (C1) Corvette called the Corvette Super Sport. In early 1957, the Chevrolet Corvette SS debuted — a custom built racing sports car that was the first Chevrolet to wear the SS badge.

In 1961, the SS "kit" (known as a sport and appearance package) was offered on any Impala for just $53.80. The package included Super Sport trim for both the interior and exterior, chassis reinforcements, stronger springs and shocks, power brakes, spinner wheel covers, and narrow-band whitewall tires. The car's dashboard received a Corvette style passenger hand bar and a steering column mounted 7000-rpm tachometer. Chevrolet built 491,000 Impalas that year and 453 had the SS package, of which 311 received the 348 cid and 142 received the 409 cid. Since 1994, the SS package has been used on a variety of GM vehicles, including pickup trucks, four-door sedans, and front wheel drive cars.

Both historically and today, the Super Sport package has typically included high-performance tires, heavy-duty suspension, and increased power, along with a variety of other performance and appearance upgrades.

What is the recall on the 2014 Chevy SS power steering?

GM said this recall affects SS sedans from the 2014-2016 model years. The recall population should have a gold-plated connector. If it does not, the connector may corrode and the driver could experience a sudden loss of power steering. While manual steering will remain, the sudden loss increases the risk of a crash.

Why didn t the Chevy SS sell well?

GM sold it for 8 years with 2 model revisions. They never advertised it. Their dealers didn't know what it was or how to sell it, some even actively suppressed it to avoid dealing with its peculiarities.

How many years did the Chevy SS last?

The 2013 to 2017 Holden Commodore was an executive car produced by the GM Australia marque Holden. This model year range was the last generation of the Commodore and was imported to the USA under the nameplate of the Chevy SS. Previously, the Commodore was briefly imported to the USA under the Pontiac G8 nameplate.

Why did Chevrolet stop making the SS?

Although the SS is absolutely a dream vehicle for Chevy enthusiasts, it failed to catch on with the general public. The stylish four-door sedan packed a ton of power (415 horsepower, to be exact) and featured a full range of wonderful tech components at a reasonable price.

SEAT BELTS PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2021-08-09
  • VIN: 6G3F15RW9EL
  • Components: SEAT BELTS
  • Summary: 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!

  • Summary: 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.

2014 Chevrolet Ss recalls

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 9 recalls for different components of the 2014 Chevrolet Ss.

2020-10-15
  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: SEAT BELTS:FRONT
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet SS and Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicles (PPV) that were previously repaired under NHTSA recall number 16V-518. The repair may not have been performed properly. The driver's seat belt tensioner cable may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.
  • Consequence: If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine whether the new seat trim was installed and replace the trim as necessary. Dealers will also inspect and replace the pretensioner cable assembly, as necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began November 17, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N202312100
2019-11-07
  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet SS vehicles that previously received an inspect-only remedy under recall 17V-382. Corrosion of the connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor connector may cause a loss of electric power steering assist.
  • Consequence: A greater steering effort would be needed to control the vehicle if power steering is lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gear assembly, free of charge. The recall began December 27, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733. GM's number for this recall is N192265980.
2017-07-10
  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
  • Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced.

  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet SS vehicles. Corrosion of the connector between the electric power steering module and the torque sensor connector may cause a loss of electric power steering assist.
  • Consequence: A greater steering effort would be needed to control the vehicle if power steering is lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering gear assembly, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 2, 2017. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 17248.

  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 3500 HD, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Escalade ESV vehicles and 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500, Trax, Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicle, GMC Sierra 1500, Buick Encore, and 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse, Chevrolet Spark EV and SS vehicles. In the affected vehicles, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
  • Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 13, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16007.
2016-07-08
  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: SEAT BELTS:FRONT
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit vehicles manufactured May 14, 2013 through June 14, 2016, and Chevrolet SS vehicles manufactured May 15, 2013 through April 27, 2016. The driver's seat belt tensioner cable may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.
  • Consequence: If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tensioner cable assembly, replacing any cable that is damaged. For vehicles that do not require a tensioner assembly replacement, a cable guide will be installed. All vehicles will receive new seat trim with a redesigned opening for the cable routing. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on November 3, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 31340.
2015-10-09
  • Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
  • Components: SEATS
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Caprice vehicles manufactured August 14, 2013, to February 3, 2014, and Chevrolet SS vehicles manufactured August 15, 2013, to February 16, 2014. The affected vehicles received replacement seat base assemblies during repair service, but during the work, the seat position target bracket may not have been transferred from the old seat to the new one. Without the seat position target bracket, the air bag may deploy at a higher intensity than necessary.
  • Consequence: An air bag that deploys at a higher than intended level increases the risk of injury during a crash.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and, if necessary, install a seat frame equipped with a target bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15567.
2014-07-23

  • Components: SEATS
  • Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Buick Encore and Cadillac ATS; 2014 Cadillac CTS, ELR, Chevrolet Caprice and SS vehicles; and 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Trucks. Due to an incomplete weld on the seat hook bracket assembly, the front seats in the affected vehicles may not stay secured in place during a high load condition such as a crash.
  • Consequence: A seat that does not stay secured increases the risk of occupant injury in a vehicle crash.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat hook bracket assembly weld and replace the lower seat track, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2014. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), and 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14340.

In the affected vehicles, the windshield wiper motor gear teeth may strip causing the windshield wipers to become inoperative.
  • Consequence: Inoperative wipers will not clear rain or snow, reducing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
  • Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiper module assembly and replace any affected ones, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14295.

    If you're concerned about gas mileage, this might not be the car for you. However, if you're looking for a car that will put a smile on your face with every mile, this is definitely the one! Plus, it's a bit of a hidden gem, so you'll be driving something unique.

    I bought my Chevy SS back in July 2014 and have driven over 75,000 miles with it. I absolutely love this car and it's definitely the best sports car I've ever owned. Unlike other cars that try to be sports cars with a few add-ons, this car was built to be a sports car from the ground up. It's perfect for driving every day, as a family car, or just for a solo ride. The handling, stopping power, and overall performance of this car are truly addictive. The only issue I've had was with the electronic steering, which broke down three years into my ownership. During the spring, summer, and fall, I use summer tires, and in the winter, I switch to snow tires on black wheels. All in all, this car is amazing, especially considering its low price.
