2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY 2016 SILVERADO 1500 PROBLEMS IS THE ALONG WITH THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TURNS OFF INCLUDING THE RADIO, DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER, DOOR-LOCK CYCLE, AC AND THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT TURN ON ALSO HARD TO TURN. VEHICLE COULD BE JUST ON OR DRIVING AROUND FOR HOURS OR MINUTES TIME DOESN'T MATTER IT COULD DO IT AS SOON IT TURN ON THOSE PROBLEMS APPEAR WHEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON.

INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER STEERING, AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. A MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS, SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE. HAPPENS MOST OFTEN THE FIRST TIME I USE IT ON ANY GIVEN DAY. BUT OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY SINCE THEN. *TR

WHILE SETTING IN A DRIVE THRU MY STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK BACK AND FOURTH AND THEN MY TRUCK WILL DIE. I GET SEVERAL DIFFERENT MESSAGES ON MY DASH STABILITY TRACK NEEDS SERVICE, WINDOW NEEDS ROLLED DOWN THEN UP, OR TRAILER ASSIST. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

SILVERARDO 2016 1500 PICK UP TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING. TRUCK IS IN FINE OPERATING CONDITION, THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR STEERING FOR THIS YEAR. WIFE WAS DRIVING. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY EXIT. PULLED OVER. I WENT OUT TO GET THE TRUCK LOOKED FOR ANY ISSUES. RESTARTED TRUCK POWER STEERING WORKED THEN FAILED AGAIN AFTER 5 MINUTES. DROVE THE TRUCK TO A PARKING LOT. RESTARTED TRUCK AND POWER STEERING WORKS. WHILE SOME PERSONS MAY BE ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK TO A SAFE SPOT, IT IS DIFFICULT AND TAKES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF UPPER BODY STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. HOW DO I SAFELY LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR? I AM WORRIED THAT THIS PREVIOUS DEFECT/ISSUE WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET. THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING ON AN EXIT RAMP ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH, MY VEHICLE MOMENTARILY "SHUDDERED" OR "LOST POWER" FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN QUITE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I PULLED OVER, I CONNECTED MY CODE SCANNING TOOL AND PULLED A P0300 CODE FROM THE VEHICLE, MEANING IT HAD MULTIPLE/RANDOM MISFIRES. THIS COINCIDES WITH THE "SHUDDER". UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC, THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE COME IN FOR MISFIRE ISSUES, USUALLY RESULTING IN FUEL INJECTORS BEING REPLACED OR THE FUEL PUMP. SEARCHING ONLINE, IT SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY CONSISTENT ISSUE. MULTIPLE FORUMS HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO IT, ALONG WITH MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS DESCRIBING IT AND SHOWING HOW TO REPLACE THE INJECTORS OR FUEL PUMP. AS THIS SEEMS LIKE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE NHTSA LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND MAKE A DETERMINATION. I WOULD HATE FOR A SIMILAR SITUATION TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 20000 MILES , RIGHT AFTER I HIT ABOUT 28000 I NOTICED THAT MY SECOND OR THIRD GEAR ON MY TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING . IS ALWAYS DOING IT WHEN IS COLD AND ALWAYS AT THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN DOWNSHIFTING IT MAKES A LOUD CLONKING SOUND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY OF COURSE TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING . I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING HEAVY I ONLY USE MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK . IM PRETTY SURE THIS IS NOT NORMAL . UNFORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T ABLE TO GET IT FIX SINCE REPAIRS FOR TRANSMISSIONS ARE EXPENSIVE AND THIS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

SERVICE POWER STEERING CAME ON, CAR WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO CONTROL WITH ZERO STEERING ASSIST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE CARS TURNING AT LOW SPEED. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE CODE C056D BUT IS TAKING ZERO RESPONSIBILITY CHARGING OUTRAGEOUS PRICES FOR AN ELECTRICAL UNIT THAT HAS FAILED IN LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. *TR

TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL ON BRAKES. DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE. BRAKES STILL EXHIBIT PROBLEMS. BRAKES BECOME MUSHY AT LOW SPEED AFTER APPLYING BRAKES GENTLY, THEN MOVING FORWARD SLIGHTLY AT LOW SPEED BRAKES SEEM TO COLLAPSE AND EXHIBIT A LOW GRUMBLING NOISE. PADS AND ROTORS ARE GOOD, SO NOT THE ISSUE. IT LEAVES ME WONDERING IF RECALL WAS DONE OR DONE CORRECTLY. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES, AS I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY, I LOST FORWARD DRIVE. I COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED SEVERAL TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY TO RESUME FORWARD MOTION OR EVEN REVERSE. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT NO MOVEMENT. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY HOUSE, AND THEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, THE DEALERSHIP SPENT 2 DAYS DIAGNOSING THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE DETERMINING THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REMOVED FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. AFTER THEY REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE GEARS AND CLUTCH PACKS FOR GEARS 2 THROUGH 6 HAD BLOWN APART. THIS IS OF COURSE WAS ABSURD DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE, THE MILEAGE AND THE FACT THAT I'VE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH THE TRUCK OR ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO THE DEALER PROCEEDED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. FAST FORWARD TO 60,000 MILES LATER AND OF COURSE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED. I BEGAN FEELING AN INTENSE VIBRATION THROUGH EVERY GEAR AND AT ALL SPEEDS, LONG, DELAYED AND FREQUENTLY VIOLENT SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH GEARS, AND A STRANGE, NOISY IDLE. THIS WENT ON FOR A DAY WHICH, I THEN PARKED THE TRUCK AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE. THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT, AFTER THE VIBRATIONS, CLUNKS AND DELAYED SHIFTS, I LOST FORWARD DRIVE AGAIN, ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I MANAGED TO GET IT BACK IN DRIVE AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION AND CYCLING THE SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE, BUT THIS WOULD ONLY LAST THROUGH 2ND GEAR BEFORE LOSING DRIVE AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS ABOUT 4 TIMES WHICH WAS ENOUGH TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PREVENT HAVING TO WAIT AN HOUR TO BE TOWED 1/4 MILE. UNFORTUNATELY THE TRUCK IS NOW OUTSIDE OF THE 5 YEAR 60,000 MI POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. EXPECTING TO RECEIVE A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT TOMORROW. *TR

TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 40-80MPH VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND START BRAKING. SERVICE STABILITRAC WILL COME ON. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN 20 MILES. MAINLY RIGHT AFTER TURNING. WHEN BACKING UP SERVICE STABILITRAC WILL COME ON. STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK. VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. *TR
