2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY TRUCK TURNS REAL HARD AND THE BRAKES DON'T SEAM TO ENGAGE AS USUAL THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS OR IN A DOWNHILL. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE HIGHWAY ON I15 COMING TO NEVADA FROM CALIFORNIA ON A DOWNHILL WITH TRAFFIC PRESENT AND AT LOW SPEEDS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN A DRIVE THRU AND A PARKING LOT TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND AT LOW SPEEDS I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL TURNED HARD/STIFF AND MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND. THE TRUCK DOES COME TO A STOP BUT TRAVELS MORE THAN USUAL WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NORMAL.

PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AT LOW SPEED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE TO BACKUP I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD. I PUT MY TRUCK IN REVERSE TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE BRAKE WAS VERY HARD AND WOULDN'T STOP. WHEN HIT THE FENCE THE TRUCK FINALLY STOPPED. CALLED THE DEARLER WHERE I GOT THE TRUCK, THEY SAID THERE'S A RECALL AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BUT THAT WASN'T GOING TO FIX IT. 2019 I TOOK THE TRUCK IN @ 60,000 MILES, THEY DID A REPROGRAM AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANY THING ELSE UNLESS THERE WAS ANOTHER BRAKE RECALL. THE BAD THING ABOUT THIS WHOLE BRAKE PROBLEM IS GM KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND WON'T FIX IT. GM HAS AND WILL FIX THE PROBLEM IF YOU PAY 12 TO 1,600 DOLLARS. SINCE THEY DID THE REPROGRAM I HAVE 80, 000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND AT LOW SPEED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR IN PARKING LOTS THE BRAKE IS VERY HARD AND THE ABS SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE. SAME PROBLEM DIFFERENT DAY. I NEED NEW BOMBERS NOW. I GUESS GM IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT.

AT AROUND 82,000 MILES CAR STARTED TO BE HARD TO DRIVE DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILING TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY... NOW AT 92,500 IT'S BARELY SWITCHING GEARS... I RECEIVED ERROR CODES AND CHECK AT DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I KNEW I AM COVERED UP TO 100,000 MIKE'S FOR DRIVE TRAIN. PLEASE HELP!

WHILE DRIVING AT PARKING SPEED OR DRIVE THROUGH SPEED MY BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND I LOSE BRAKE. I'VE ALMOST WRECKED A FEW TIMES ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

I GOT A RECALL DONE BUY A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN STORM LAKE IOWA, SO THEY SAY THEY DID IT BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING I NOTICED THE MY TRUCK STARTED BREAKING DIFFERENT AT LOW SPEEDS JUST LIKE THE RECALL WAS FOR THE RECALL NUMBER IS N192268490. JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO SO I DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE BREAKS WON'T WORK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TOO!

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEEL LOCKED UP AND STEERING ASSIST QUIIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 119 IN CHARLESTON, WV DOING 40 MPH CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT ALMOST HIT A SEMI-TRUCK HEAD ON. POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL KEEP WORKING AND STOPPING, I TOOK VEHICLE STRAIGHT TO WALKER CHEVY IN NITRO, WV.

COLD WEATHER (25-30 DEGREES?) ON 12/24, SO REMOTE STARTED TRUCK AND BEGAN DRIVING (REAR DEFROSTER AUTO STARTS). HEARD SLIGHT SIZZLE NOISE, BUT COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS...THEN WIFE (RIDING IN BACK) HEARD IT GET WORSE, THEN A LITTLE SMOKE, THEN REAR-WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE POPPED/CRACKED/SHATTERED (TRUCK HAS A SLIDING REAR WINDOW, SO 3 SECTIONS). DIDN'T BLOW OUT, BUT IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. TAPED IT TO KEEP PIECES FROM BLOWING APART. TALKED TO DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER CARE, AND THEY ADVISED OF AN OPEN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES (COLD WEATHER)...INCLUDING MI, BUT I'M 1 HOUR SOUTH IN NORTHERN IN. #N192265660-01 IS THE PROGRAM NUMBER (REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER THERMAL EVENTS - US ONLY _(MAR 25, 2020). THE PROBLEM ALSO SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON IN CANADA WHERE A FULL RECALL IS IN EFFECT. AT THIS POINT, HOWEVER, GM CUSTOMER CARE (CASE # 9-6442774509) SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND REFERRED ME BACK TO DEALER...WHO I WILL ASSUME WILL REFER ME BACK TO CUST CARE AGAIN. I'M WAITING ON THEIR RESPONSE. MAKES NO SENSE THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE ONLY FOR VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES. I'M IN THE SAME COLD CLIMATE AS MICHIGAN AND MANY OF THE OTHER IMPACTED STATES. LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS TO REPAIR, BUT FOR NOW I'M WAITING TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE WILL PAY FOR IT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM IS REFUSING TO REIMBURSE (EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLEARLY WILLING IN MANY OTHER STATES). ANY SUGGESTIONS?

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN DRIVEWAY OF RESIDENCE, RUNNING AFTER BEING STARTED WITH REMOTE START. TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS ABOUT 35F. FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS TYPICALLY COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS REMOTE STARTED IN THE WINTER MONTHS. REAR WINDOW OF TRUCK HAS THREE SEPARATE PANES, THE TWO OUTER PANES ARE STATIONARY AND THE MIDDLE SLIDES OPENS VIA A SWITCH IN THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. ALL WINDOWS IN VEHICLE WERE CLOSED. I WAS STANDING BESIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND SMALL PIECES OF THE REAR WINDOW PANE BEHIND THE DRIVER FELL TO THE GROUND. THE WINDOW CONTINUED TO MAKE A CRACKING SOUNDS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL SOUND. THERE IS A SLIGHT SMELL OF ELECTRICAL WIRE BURNING INSIDE THE VEHICLE VERY CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF THE DAMAGED PANE OF GLASS. DESPITE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, GM CLAIMS THAT THE VIN OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL.

I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST TO THE VEHICLE. WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS, I SAW SMOKE RISING FROM THE CENTER PART OF THE REAR WINDOW AS IF THE DEFROSTER HAD STARTED A FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE REAR DEFROST OFF AND THE SMOKE CEASED. WITHIN A MATER OF SECONDS, THE RIGHT PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW POPPED VERY LOUDLY AS IT SHATTERED, PRESUMABLY FROM THE FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I DO HAVE A POWER REAR WINDOW ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY IN CANADA FOR CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S OF MY MODEL YEAR WITH THE REAR POWER WINDOW HAVING FIRES STARTED BY THE REAR DEFROSTER.

WHEN USUALLY DOING THREE POINT TURN MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT MY RADIO GOES OUT AIR CONDITIONING EVERYTHING AND THEN COMES RIGHT BACK ON I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A VOLTAGE DROP TO THE STEERING I SEE A LOT OF RECALLS ON IT AND MINES DOING THE SAME THING AND ALSO THE STABLE TRACK COMES ON AND TRAILER SYSTEM MORNING COMES ON HAS NOT EVER DONE ANYTHING WHEN DRIVING USUALLY WHEN PARKING
