2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE RADIO FAIL TO PROVIDE AUDIO WARNING WHEN THE KEY HAS BEEN LEFT IN THE IGNITION AND THE DOOR IS OPEN-DOOR WHEN THE DRIVER DOES NOT FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELT ,DRIVER IS AT GREATER RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH. DRIVER CAN'T HEAR WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL AND RADIO WHEN DEAD .

MY TRUCK HAS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM THAT IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTED AS THE SAME SYSTEM WAS RECALLED FOR ALL OTHER MODELS EQUIPPED WITH UT BUT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS A SPECIAL VERSION THE COMPANY EXPECTS ME THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR THIS 4 FIGURE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET KNOWING THE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE THE STEERING JUST QUIT OUT OF NOWHERE FOR NO APPARENT REASON IT WORKED FINE THEN WENT TO DRIVE IT AND IT DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING IT WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME I GOT IN TO GO TO THE STORE AND STEERING WAS GONE

BRAKE EFFORT DRASTICALLY INCREASED WHEN BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP AND PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS FURTHER.

VEHICLE BRAKES FAIL WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT DEPRESS AND TRUCK WILL NOT STOP. FAILURES HAPPEN IN FORWARD AND REVERSED. PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS, RADLES, AND PINGS UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION. IT HAS A DELAY BEFORE DOWN SHIFTING, IT OCCASIONALLY MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE I DONT KNOW IF THE AFM HAS PART IN THESE ISSUES. IF YOU DRIVE WITH HARD ACCELERATION THEN IT ONLY PINGS SOMETIMES AND KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE AN OLDER 80 MODEL V8 WITH A TIMING KNOCK. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND IT HAD BEEN DOING IT FOR THE LAST 6K MILES. IF YOU MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION IT LIMITS THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING SLOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND LOST POWER. ALSO, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE "PARKING ASSIST OFF" AND "ROLL DOWN THE SIDE WINDOWS" MESSAGES WERE ALSO DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KNUDTSEN CHEVROLET (1900 E POLSTON AVE, POST FALLS, ID 83854, (208) 664-8107), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

AC FAILURE OF NEWER CHEVROLET VEHICLES. AC LOSES FREON DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF AC SYSTEM. FREON LEAKS INTO ENVIRONMENT UNCONTROLLED. IF YOU CONTINUE TO ADD FREON TO BANDAGE FAULTY PARTS, ALL YOU DO IS CONTINUE TO LOSE FREON INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS OF THIS FAILURE, BUT YET DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS HAPPENING ACROSS SEVERAL OF THEIR VEHICLE'S. LEAKS ARE BAD ENOUGH THAT AC SYSTEM ONLY OPERATES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS UNTIL IT NEEDS RECHARGING.

WHEN OPERATING VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND HARD TO PRESS DOWN. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO CONTINUE MOVING AND EVEN CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING REAR DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AND A SMALL DENT IN MY FRONT BUMPER. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT 15MPH AND UNDER IT OCCURS.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED ITSELF OUT OF MY HAND, ALMOST BREAKING MY HAND AND LOCKED UP AND COULDN'T BE TURNED AT ALL. WHILE LOCKED UP IT FINALLY BROKE FREE FOR A BIT AND JERKED ITSELF OUT OF MY HANDS AGAIN. PUT IT INTO DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD SO I DIDN'T GET HIT BY OTHER VEHICLSE IN PARKING LOT TOO. IT DID THE SAME THING GOING FORWARD, JERKED ITSELF FROM MY HANDS, THE RADIO EVEN CHANGED STATIONS ON ITS OWN. DURING THIS THE DIC SHOWED A STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICE MESSAGE AND WORKED OK ONCE I FINALLY GOT IT TO BACK OUT AND GO FORWARD AND AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE WASN'T SHUT OFF IT RAN OK, ABUT ONCE SHUTOFF, THE SAME ISSUES RETURNED EVERY TIME, EVEN AT THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE IT SITS NOW IN MISSION, TX THESE EVENTS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY AND ALSO WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHICH IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS. WHILE THIS IS NOT MY VIDEO OR MY TRUCK, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPLAINING ABOVE: [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

POWER BRAKING FAILURE. BRAKE BOOSTER/VACUUM PUMP HAS FAILURE WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (BACKING/PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS, DRIVING IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, ETC.). THE BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENS UP, AND AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THIS ISSUE MANY TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE DAYS, AS HAS THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHEN A VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ABS IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED (VERY HEAVILY), AND THE THE PEDAL STIFFENS UP, THE TRUCK STILL PROCEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS ANOTHER FOOT OR SO PRIOR TO FULLY STOPPING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS I COMMONLY DRIVE IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC TO AND FROM WORK, AS WELL AS PARK IN A PARKING DECK BACKING UP TO EITHER OTHER VEHICLES, OR A CONCRETE WALL.
