2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

At around 80,000 my transmission in my truck started given me problems. I now have to replace the entire transmission. I am the only owner of my truck. One pays a lot of money for a brand new truck only to have to pay $6,000 for a new transmission.

On June 12, 2022 I experienced a full blown transmission failure in my 2016 Chevrolet Silverado at 75,000 miles on the vehicle. The defect represents a safety risk to General Motors consumers and makes the vehicle equipped with the defective transmission unsafe and uncomfortable to drive. The transmission failed on a busy freeway creating unsafe conditions for myself, others in the vehicle and other motorists and top speed of 28 mph. . The vehicle is in for repairs currently and estimated cost of $5,400. As I researched the problem it became obvious that this is an ongoing problem with several model years of General Motors vehicles and the manufacturer is not taking corrective actions as needed. We should not wait for consumers to risk their lives and possibily loss of life before the problem is corrected with a recall for defective transmissions in these vehicles. Lets not let profits rule over consumer safety.

Service trailer brake system and stalilitrak warning continually pops up due to faulty wiring

Transmission shudder started around 101k miles at speeds between 37 and 47 miles per hour.

Remote started my vehicle in the morning, made it about a mile down the road, and the center console started fire. Looks to be the wiring/wireless charger on top of the console. Zero warning lamps or warning labels. Safely made it to the side of the road after getting out of traffic, but inhaled quite a bit of white, bitter smoke.

smelling fuel in cab, found fuel line spraying fuel across bottom of truck, had it towed to dealer who replaced the line, which was cracked at the fitting closest to the fuel pump. Molded line cracked from age or vibration. 107k miles on truck. fuel spray could ignite imperiling the occupants. no warning lamps, engine was still getting fuel and ran fine. Concern for proximity to exhaust and catalytic converter as an ignition point.

The last couple of times I drove my vehicle the radio loses power and cuts back on so does the dash while driving and also the stabilitrak maintenance also flickers on the dash not sure if it related but when the vehicle is moving at a high rate of speed is when it does it more offten not sure what it is but want to report it just in case it’s anyone is haveing similar issue

The trailer brake system dings on the dash board constantly, causing the brakes to malfunction and studder which is causing an increased risk of for safety incidents to happen.

I was trying to stop in reverse, no pedal on braking...put in drive it had pedal and a light came on in dash to " service brake assist"

Rear defroster where power sliding window meets started smoking while defroster was in use. Reference TSB# n192265660 rear window defroster thermal events . This is a replica of that issue, but have thus far been told by GM corporate that vehicle is not eligible under the released customer satisfaction program.
