2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I have a 2016 Silverado which was purchased new, the vehicle has now 35K miles. Recently the radio display which contains the intelink and other adaptive controls began randomly going through multiple screens on my dashboard, and touch screen radio screen including digital speedometer turning off and going to random music stations, the radio flickering as if searching for different signals , and going through different screens, blue tooth, ac, radio volume going extremely loud, driver info screen going blank , etc... causing a horrible distraction , and will not turn off a search on the internet shows multiple GM vehicles for the years 2016-2020 with the same problem I have contacted local dealer who states car is not under warranty anymore. This is definitely a safety issue on this vehicle and I would like to report this to the NHTSI

Brakes fail at low speed. I have seen numerous reports of this problem dating back to 2018 and nothing seems to be happening with a recall. This is a very danger problem that needs to be addressed immediately. GM service confirmed there is no recall on this common problem. Although there has been no accident, it has been close and pedestrians are at particular risk.

Driver complains of fuel leak. Leak at fuel pump. Upon inspection found fuel pump outlet port cracked and leaking. Replaced fuel pump to correct.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in for routine service, it was discovered that anti-freeze had leaked from the radiator. The radiator and thermostat were replaced, and the failure was remedied. The contact indicated that prior to the repair the thermostat would occasionally over cycle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 84,204.

Atmospheric temperature, 33 degrees F. Windows slightly frosted. Remote started vehicle and cleared side and front windshield of frost. Entered vehicle, inserted keys and drove approximately 300 ft to drop off mail. While sitting in the vehicle and the vehicle was in park, and running. I heard a very load pop and and observed left side window had shattered. This is the driver side rear window, left side looking from rear of vehicle. The window was bowed out slightly and some loose pieces of glass were observed. This occurred approximately 3 minutes after the initial start of the vehicle. No other damage observed. This vehicle had been previously subject to a recall regarding the powered rear window defroster circuit. The dealer corrected this recall on February 7, 2020.

Driver complained of fuel smell. Found fuel leaking at fuel tank. Lower fuel tank to inspect. Upon inspection found fuel port outlet port cracked and leaking. Replaced fuel pump to correct.

Intermittent reduction in braking power while performing parking maneuvers (parallel parking). Feels like loss of power brakes requiring very heavy force to stop vehicle - very unnerving. Vehicle was taken to dealership for inspection and dealer replaced brake pads and rotors on front & back. Dealer claims issue is unrelated to recall 19V645 & 20V603 but I suspect it is as symptoms are identical.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while coming to a stop and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle started to lose motive power. The vehicle lost motive power and the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that after several seconds the vehicle regained motive power. The failure recurred approximately 5-6 times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

At 81,000 miles truck started having a transmission shutter at 25 MPH and 45-65 MPH when transmission is at normal temp. Took truck to the dealership and being told I need a new transmission for $5,000.00. There are many documented transmission issues with Chevrolets. Why is nothing being done to help the customers???

I am writing in concern to a brake pump malfunction and air bag sensor failure. The vehicle is available for inspection and has been inspected/confirmed by dealerships. The brake pump is bad and falls under the recall by GM but because it was over the mileage threshold, it didn’t qualify. The brakes don’t work well at all. The air bag sensor in the passenger seat went bad and now shut off all my airbags and GM won’t add my vehicle to the recalls they have already issued on other vehicles for the same issues. My safety is at risk with my lack of air bags for us. Others’ safety is risk due to the bad brake pump that I cannot guarantee will continue working, especially upon an immediate need to brake in any emergency situation. I have contact the manufacturer 2 separate times and they refuse to include my vehicle in their safety recalls. This is a serious matter. Someone could get hurt or worse. I had no warnings or indications that these were issues until they became one. I had to get quotes of $1200 to get these two issues resolved and don’t understand how this is a known problem but they refuse to help me in any way. I’m not asking for a replacement truck or engine. Just functioning safety features!!! The truck is only 5 years old.
