2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TRUCK HAS 104,000 MILES ON IT. SATURDAY IT STOPPED GOING INTO ANY GEAR AND WOULD NOT MOVE, CLEARLY THE TRANSMISSION. IT INITIALLY WAS JERKING AS I PULLED INTO A SIDE STREET AND ONCE I GOT TO WHERE I NEEDED TO BE AND TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR. TOOK TO AAMCO IN ALBANY WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILED AND WILL NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD AND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR THIS PUMP.

MY SERVICE POWER STEERING ALERT CAME UP ON MY DIC AND LOST POWER STEERING. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED 10 MINUTES AND STARTED VEHICLE UP AND MESSAGE WAS GONE AND I HAD POWER STEERING. DROVE TO WORK NEXT DAY AND WAS OK. JUST BEFORE I ARRIVED HOME, I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE AND NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE, LET VEHICLE SIT AND RESTART AND EVERYTHING WORKING. I DROVE FOR 4 DAYS AND ON THE 5TH DAY IT DID IT AGAIN. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A GM DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AT THE TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM, IT WAS NOT WORKING. THEY SAID THAT THE MODULE 'MAY' BE BAD OR POSSIBLY THE STEERING RACK IS BAD. ALL CODES WERE COMMUNICATION ERRORS. WHEN I GOT VEHICLE HOME, I CHECKED FOR ANY LOOSE WIRES UNDER DASH AND THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK. I TOLD THEM THAT I KNOW PRIOR YEAR TRUCKS HAD THIS ISSUE. I TOLD THEM THIS AND THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK AT MY COST OF 2600.00 THAT THE VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THINGS GO BAD. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS HIGHWAY MILES AND THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER.

LOSE OF BREAKING POWER AT LOW SPEED. I LOST ALL BREAKING POWER TRYING TO MANEUVER IN A PARKING GARAGE AND PARKING LOT. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS THAT COME ON DURING OR AFTER THIS. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 3 TIMES ALMOST RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS. THE BREAK PEDDLE STIFFENS AND PROVIDES ALMOST NO BREAKING.

ON JAN 30, 2021 A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON START-UP BUT HAD NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN DRIVING CONDITIONS OR READING FROM DASH GAUGES. CHECKED ENGINE CODE AND IT READ PO6DD, TOOK MY TRUCK TO A GM DEALER AND THEY RAN A TEST SHOWING 20PSI TOO LOW OF OIL PRESSURE AT THE TOP SIDE OF THE ENGINE AS A RESULT OF A FAILED OIL PUMP SOLENOID. WAS TOLD THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ENGINE FAILURE. COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS >$3,000.00. WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAS TEST DRIVING MY TRUCK AFTER REPAIRING THE OIL SOLENOID THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING UNIT FAILED. THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IS NEARLY $1,500.00 TO REPAIR. THESE PROBLEMS ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 103,490 MILES SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR ISSUE. I REACHED OUT TO GM AND THEY SAID THAT THESE ISSUES ARE NOT UNDER RECALL AND WILL NOT BE ASSISTING IN ANY COSTS INVOLVED IN REPAIRS.

AT SLOWER SPEED THE BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO FAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE PRESSED HARD BUT SINKS AND THE CAR DOES NOT STOP. THIS IS ONLY HAPPENS AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. IT FEELS LIKE THE CARS DOES NOT STOP AND I HAVE TO PUT MUCH MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL. I USUALLY PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND IT IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I DID TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG

WHILE TURNING CORNERS AT SLOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STEERING LOCKS UP AND VEHICLE STALLS. THE TRACTION CONTROL (T/C) COMES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE SIT STILL FOR A WHILE THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITH NO WARNING THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEED.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SUFFERED FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, MUCH NOISE AND DEFAULT TO 'SAFE MODE' DECREASING TRUCK PERFORMANCE. TRUCK JUST REACHED 80K MILES, LESS THAN FIVE YEARS OLD. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE/REBUILD TRANSMISSION. REPAIR IS STATING THAT THEY ARE UPGRADING VARIOUS PARTS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION TO PREVENT ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. TO ME, THIS ACKNOWLEDGES A FLAW IN THE DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION OF PART. RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS KNOWN ISSUES DUE TO POOR DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION.

THE ASSIST TAILGATE NO LONGER WORKS. THE TAILGATE IS SUPPOSED TO LOWER SLOWLY. NOW IT JUST SLAMS DOWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT SLAMMED DOWN ON MY LEG. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT DOES COVER THIS,HOWEVER THE REPAIR DOESN'T LAST. WE'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND IT IS STILL BROKEN. THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS ,BUT SAY THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO REPAIR THE ACTUAL ISSUE. PLEASE HELP

VEHICLE SHIFTS REALLY HARD WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP OR WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW BUT CHEVY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT I'D SAY IT'S ATLEAST A FEW TIMES EVERY TRIP. I TOLD CHEVY ABOUT IT EITHER IN THE FIRST OR SECOND YEAR AFTER BUYING THE TRUCK.

VEHICLE BRAKES BECOME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS MAKING IT HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE I FIND THIS HAPPENS MORE AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND IN REVERSE
