2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I WILL DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DISPLAY GOES BLACK ON DASH AND I HEAR CLICKING SOUND AND TRUCK SHUTS OFF. STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP MAKING TURNS, LEFT OR RIGHT. ISSUES MOSTLY HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIMES BUT HAS CUT OFF WITH SHORT TRIPS AND PARKING, BACKING IN. THESE ISSUES STARTED AROUND DEC 2019 AND INCREASED IN FREQUENCY THIS YEAR 2020.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALKER JONES MEGA CENTER (2718 MEMORIAL DR, WAYCROSS, GA 31503, (912) 490-8033) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINALS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 FROM VAN HORN TO FORT STOCKTON AT APPROXIMATELY 85 MPH WITH A SEMI PARALLEL ON THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND AN SUV DIRECTLY BEHIND ME NO MORE THAN 3 CAR LENGTHS AWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN LUCKILY THE SUV BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AFTER I IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY, AFTER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER/GRASS AREA. AFTER HAVING TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVY/GM DEALERSHIP IN PECOS TX, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP ESTIMATED COST OVER $800. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FUEL PUMP GOES OUT AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY NHTSA.

I WAS DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER I HAD NO LIGHTS NO STEERING NO BREAKS AND THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS RESEARCH IT AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE

THE SILVERADO "MYLLINK" INFORMATION CENTER CHANGES SCREENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CREATES A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVE AS THEY RETURN TO THE DESIRED SCREEN AND SETTING. THE SCREENS AND FUNCTIONS CHANGE EVERY MINUTE OR SO.

STEERING WILL GET VERY HARD TO TURN FOR A SECOND ON LOW SPEED TURNS, STABILITRAK WILL DISABLE AND DASH WILL BLANK OUT

MY TRUCK SHAKES FROM THE MOMENT WE PULL OFF FROM A STOP AND SHAKES UNTIL WE GET UP TO 70MPH. WE HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND THAT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS DONE NOTHING EXCEPT PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR DIAGNOSTICS THAT COSTS AN ARM AND A LEG! WE CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID WE WILL LOSE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS ON PAVED AND DIRT ROADS AND INSIDE CITY LIMIT STREETS (30 MPH) AND INTERSTATE ROADS (60MPH+). WE ARE ALSO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FEARING THAT IT WOULD GET WORSE AND THE DRIVESHAFT MIGHT DROP. $60K TRUCK SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY WASTING AWAY.

WHEN SWITCH FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND MOVE FORWARD THAN STEP ON BREAKS IT'S GETS HARDER AND DON'T STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO IT'S HAPPEN TO ME ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC AND IT'S COME TO STOP AND SLOWLY MOVING THE VEHICLE MY BRAKES WAS TOO HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE , I ALMOST GOING TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE.

I'M HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN A 2016 SILVERADO! I'M 61 YEARS OLD AND TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES. AFTER READING CAR BLOGS, I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING! THE TRUCK JERKS SO VIOLENTLY THAT I'M AFRAID I'VE BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR OR THAT I MAY MOVE FORWARD AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS AND HAVE NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE. I WORK HARD FOR MY MONEY AND DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPLACEMENT. PLEASE HELP!

I DROVE ALMOST 5 HRS AWAY TO TAKE MY FAMILY ON A VACATION AND WHEN I PULLED INTO THE HOTEL I ALMOST COULDNT STOP AND NOTICED MY PARKING ASSIST SERVICE WAS ON ON THE DASH. I TRIED BACKING UP AND I ALMOST COULD NOT STOP FROM BACKING INTO ANOTHER CAR. AND IT KEEPS DOING IT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. THE BRAKES ARE HARD TO PUSH AND IT FEELS LIKE ARE PALPATATING AND ALSO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS UNDER MY BRAKE BC IT BARELY PUSHES IN.
