2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO NOW, UNDER SLOW SPEEDS AND MAKING A TURN MOST OF THE TIME, MY TRUCK WILL SHUT DOWN AND JERK THE WHEEL FROM MY HANDS AGGRESSIVELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 20 TIMES SO FAR. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I HIT THE GAS TO MAKE A PASS, THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED AND SHUT DOWN ON ME FOR ABOUT 5 SECOND GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN TIMES WHEN I'VE GOT THE BRAKE OR PUT BOTH FRONT WINDOWS UP AND THE RADIO WOULD GO OUT. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT TO DO. I RELY ON MY TRUCK ALLOT BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. WHEN THESE ISSUES OCCUR THE SERVICE STABLETRACK LIGHT COMES ON.

ON 09/27/19 WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM DINNER WITH MY CHILDREN MY BRAKES WENT OUT COMPLETELY CLOSE TO A MILE FROM OUR HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE THIS HAPPENED AND WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY. SIGNIFICANT FORCE HAD TO BE EXERTED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO FORCE THE TRUCK TO SLOWLY COME TO A STOP. HAD WE BEEN IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH INVOLVING OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, RICHARD KAY SUPERSTORE IN ANDERSON SC, THEY STATED THEIR WAS A RECALL FOR A RE-CALIBRATION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IF LEFT UNCHECKED COULD CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE VACUUM PUMP. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS THREE YEARS OLD AND THE RECALL WAS ISSUED 25 DAYS PRIOR TO MY INCIDENT. THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR THE VACUUM PUMP WAS $705.96. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHEVROLET HAS NOT RECALLED THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE CALIBRATION FAILURE IS CAUSING THESE PUMPS TO WEAR OUT TOO QUICKLY... OR THE PUMP THEMSELVES MAY ACTUALLY BE FAULTY AS WELL. REGARDLESS, THE CALIBRATION SHOULD BE REQUIRED AS WELL AS A REPLACEMENT OF THE VACUUM PUMP AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THIS WILL PREVENT INJURY AND POTENTIALLY THE LOSS OF LIFE.

RECENTLY ON 12/24/2019 MY TRUCK STARTED LEAKING ON THE ROOF INTERIOR ABOVE THE DRIVERS SEAT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 1/1/2020 AND WAS MUCH WORSE FROM THE SIDE DRIVERS DOOR TO ACROSS THE ROOF TO THE MIDDLE COUNSEL AREA. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN TO A MECHANIC AND A BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE 'SHARK FIN' RADIO ANTENNA CAUSING THE LEAK. THE TRUCK HAS UNDER 35,XXX MILES AND JUST HIT ONLY 4 YEARS OLD IN AGE. I CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME AS THE BODY SHOP EXPRESSED THERE HAS BEEN OTHER GM TRUCKS IN TOWN WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM RECENTLY. I CALLED 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT GM TO SEEK HELP WITH WARRANTY OR ANY COVERAGE TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ALL EXPRESSED THERE WAS NO HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DUBLIN CHEVROLET (2046 VETERANS BLVD, DUBLIN, GA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A SIGN POST. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOU BACHRODT AUTOMALL (815-332-3000, LOCATED AT 7070 CHERRYVALE N. BLVD, ROCKFORD, IL 61112), BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

WARRANTY ENDED IN JULY 2019. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN NOV 2019 WITH A P050D CODE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 32,0000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP (AUTONATION CHEVROLET IN GILBERT, AZ) AND WAS TOLD TWO FUEL INJECTORS WERE THE CAUSE AND NEEDED REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID ONE OF THE INJECTOR FUEL RODS AND GASKET WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS AT THE FACTORY. I PUSHED FOR GM TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE NO PREVIOUS INJECTOR WORK HAD BEEN DONE. THE EXCEPTION WAS CLEANING THE INJECTORS AS PART OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WHICH OCCURRED IN AUG 2019 AND WAS COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP. GM AGREED TO PAY HALF THE COST OF REPAIR. HOWEVER, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE THEY SHOULD'VE PAID THE ENTIRE COST SINCE THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FACTORY DEFECT. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF MY INJECTORS WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY, CHANCES ARE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE THEM INSTALLED INCORRECTLY AS WELL.

FIRST OFF THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED ON ME A BUNCH OF TIMES. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE RECALLS STARTED AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE CAUSING TWO LOW SPEED ACCIDENTS WITH NO DAMAGE BUT SCARY. NOTE I HAVE TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. BEEN IN FOR MULTIPLE RECALLS. ONE ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN A DRIVE THRU AND ONE IN MY DRIVEWAY. BOTH WERE FRONT END COLLISIONS BUT NO DAMAGE. SECOND THE TRUCK SHAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS.STARTING AT 24MPH UP TO 80. MY KIDS TEETH SHATTER IN THE BACK. THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS. DEALERS SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THAT SO I STARTED BY RE BALANCING MY TIRES AND AFTER THAT DIDN'T WORK I GOT NEW TIRES. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE AND ITS MORE OF A HEADACHE TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALER CAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT OR CAN'T. CURRENTLY ON 40,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND ALREADY HAD A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES WITH OIL PUMP FAILURE, STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO MOVING HORIZONTAL. SEAT ISSUES THEY COULDN'T FIX SO HAD TO REPLACE THE BRACKET AND BRAKES ARE ONGOING.
