2014 Chevrolet Captiva — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 1,441 evidence records for the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 198 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.
- Electrical system61 (30.8%)
- Engine30 (15.2%)
- Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)17 (8.6%)
- Stability & traction control10 (5.1%)
- Steering9 (4.5%)
- Body & structure9 (4.5%)
Other / uncategorized: 30 classifications (15.2%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (628 records, model years 2012–2015) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, engine and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
- Manufacturer communications (6,253 records, model years 2012–2015) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
Mileage reported when the issue occurred
- 105reports included a mileage
- 64,712average of those mileages
This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
Evidence by model year
Records held per model year. Select a year to narrow this page to it.
- 2012 1,088 records for 2012
- 2013 1,430 records for 2013
- 2014 1,441 records for 2014
- 2015 1,060 records for 2015
Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle
These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.
A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
