DRIVERS SEAT SHIFTS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHEN MAIKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE SEAT WILL SHIFT

AT AROUND 15K MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 65-75 MPH. IT IS HARD TO SAFELY MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS SAFELY. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF ANY PASSENGERS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JUNE 2016 WITH 32K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AUGUST 2016 AT 35K MILES WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN 4 TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AGAIN ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED JUST SHORT OF HITTING MY MAILBOX. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE DEAD AT THIS POINT. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. 3 DAYS LATER ON A FAMILY OUTING, AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPACE AT A THEME PARK, MY WIFE HAD FORGOTTEN HER THEME PARK MUG, SO WE WALKED BACK TO GET IT. WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE KEY ENTRY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I USED THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE COURTESY LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAD NO POWER AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER SPENDING THE DAY IN THE THEME PARK WITH FRIENDS, WE WERE GOING TO GET A RIDE HOME DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. I TOLD THEM LETS TRY TO START IT AGAIN AND SEE IF IT WILL DO ANYTHING. IT STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND SAID THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE STARTED THE SAME ERRATIC PROCESS. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY AT THE SAME TIME. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT WAS WHILE DRIVING IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT. IF THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY OR FATALLY INJURED. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. A PERSON HAS NO CONTROL OF A GM VEHICLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND GM IS PLACING LIVES AT RISK.

THE TRUCK AT LOW SPEEDS YOU CAN HERE THE STEERING MAKE POPPING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING AND OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY LOUD LIKE SOMETHING SNAPPED OFF. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING HAD A BAD BUSHING AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING GEAR BOX. THIS WAS AT 19000 MILES. NOW THE TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN

ELECTRICAL FIRE: MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY CHANGE, TURN ON AND OFF. THE PARKING SENSORS WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF EVEN WHILE DRIVING FORWARD, DOWN THE HIGHWAY! I HAD A SERVICE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT MY VEHICLE BURNED UP. THE CAUSE WAS FOUND TO BE A CONTROL/COMPUTER BOARD IN THE DASH. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE, IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 1 HOUR SINCE DRIVEN LAST. I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES, FIRE INVESTIGATION REPORT AND INSURANCE INSPECTION REPORT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000.

VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION AT 25 MPH AND AGAIN AT 45 MPH. ONLY SEEMS TO AFFECT VEHICLE IN 4 CYLINDER MODE. LOTS OF INTERNET RESEARCH HAS FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVY SILVERADO 1500'S AS IT IS IN MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH A COMPLAINT AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME CASE # 8-2286316021. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX ESTABLISHED AS OF YET. BUT, MY CONCERN IS WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW, ICE OR WET ROADS, THE VIBRATION COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH TRACTION. IF IT VIBRATES WHILE ON SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS THEN THE TRACTION IS REDUCED CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN.
