2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AND RANDOMLY THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW BLEW OUT. IT WAS WINTER AND THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AT THE TIME. I SMELLED BURNING WIRES AND SHUT EVERYTHING OFF BUT MY HEADLIGHTS AND HEARD A LOUD POP WHEN THE WINDOW BLEW OUT. THIS HAPPENED AT 4AM WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN DRIVING 2016 SILVERADO 1500, I PUT ON BRAKE AND LOST POWER TO STEERING. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. OTHER TIME WHEN TOUCHING THE BRAKE, LIGHTS GOT BRIGHTER ON TOUCH PAD FOR RADIO AND FOR OVER 200 MILES WHILE SOMEONE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT, IT SAID PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF. WHILE TURNING AND APPLYING BRAKE, LOOSE ALL STEERING. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. NOT SITTING STILL. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, 8 2AS TURNING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND LOST ALL POWER AND HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES 2 TIMES TO AVOID GOING INTO THE DITCH

WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN THEY NEED TO IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS MOST TIMES WHEN VEHICLE HAS JUST LET OFF THE BRAKE TO THEN ONCE AGAIN BRAKE QUICKLY, AND THE DRIVER WILL NEED TO PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO ENGAGE PROPER BRAKING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR WHILE THE DRIVER IS IN A DRIVE THRU, FOR EXAMPLE AT THE BANK. THE TYPE OF ROAD CONDITIONS HAVE NO AFFECT TO THIS, IT HAS HAPPENED ON SUNNY DAYS WHERE THE PAVEMENT IS DRY AND RAINY DAYS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP WHILE IN A DOWN HILL POSITION WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC.

LEAVING A CHIEFS GAME IN KANSAS CITY I WAS WAITING IN TRAFFIC. WE SLOWLY MOVED FORWARD AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE I RAN INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME . THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO HIS BUMPER BUT I GOT A DENT THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL. LATER ON THE WAY HOME I RELISED THAT IT WAS STILL DOING IN AT LOW RPMS SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AMD THEY SAID MY VACUME PUMP WAS GOING OUT!! AT 45000 MILES???? THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2016 CHEVY SILVERADO IN MAY 2018, AND HAD 17,000 MILES ON IT, IN JULY 2018 NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO MASH AND PULSATING WHILE DRIVING; IT'S NOT DOING IT ALL THE TIME, OFF AND ON. NEED TO KNOW IF THIS A RECALL ISSUE AND WHAT TO DO?

THE BRAKES BUILD UP PRESSURE WHEN PUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NOT ENGAGE AND PROPERLY STOP THE VEHICLE. THEY GET SO TIGHT YOU HAVE TO PUT ALL WEIGHT AND FORCE POSSIBLE IN THEM TO STOP. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND EVEN CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND AFTER INVESTIGATION THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE ISSUE AND ITS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS AND IT WAS VERY EASY TO FIND AS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONGST GM OWNERS.

VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD 26K MILES & BLACK PAINT IS FLAKING. LOOKS LIKE WHITE OVERSPRAY WHERE PAINT HAS FLAKED. WHITE SPOTS EVERYWHERE. METAL IS EXPOSED. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE FLAKE PAINT LIKE THIS. I DO NOT DRIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE & PRICE. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL GETS EXTREMELY HARD AND FEELS LIKE MAYBE ABS TRIES TO ACTIVATE AT TIMES. USUALLY AFTER PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL A COUPLE TIMES IN TRAFFIC OR PARKING LOTS. I'VE ALMOST DRIVEN INTO OTHER VEHICLES AND A BUILDING WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT NOW SEVERAL TIMES. TODAY WHILE COASTING DOWNHILL TOWARD A STOP LIGHT I ALMOST COULDN'T STOP AT THE LIGHT! THE TRUCK, A 2016 SILVERADO ONLY HAS 57K MILES ON IT. HOPEFULLY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL COVER WHATEVER IS GOING ON. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

VEHICLE LOSES MOST TO ALL OF THE PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SLOWER SPEEDS OR IF COASTING (FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR) FOR SHORT PERIODS. BRAKING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND STOPPING DISTANCE DRASTICALLY INCREASES. SERVICE BRAKES MESSAGE COMES ON WHILE IN TRAFFIC AS WELL, BUT ONLY AS A SERVICE NOTICE, NOT A WARNING. THIS AS BEEN ON GOING SINCE JANUARY 2017, BUT HAS GOTTEN DRAMATICALLY WORSE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THROUGH CITY'S IN TRAFFIC AND PARKING LOTS AT SLOW SPEED. NO ACCIDENT TO REPORT, BUT TOO MANY NEAR MISSES TO COUNT. YESTERDAY WAS THE LATEST EVENT. ON THE INTERSTATE, IN TRAFFIC TRAVELING 0-15 MPH, IT TOOK A SOLID 5 FEET OR MORE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM 10 MPH TO ZERO WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET. I WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY LOADED WITH 5 PASSENGERS AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF LUGGAGE. ROADS WERE DRY AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS ROUGHLY 60 DEGREES F. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION OR OTHER EVENTS.

WHEN APPLYING BREAK PRESSURE AT SLOW SPEEDS LET'S SAY UNDER 10MPH. IF BREAKS ARE PRESSED REPEATEDLY ALL BREAK FORCE IS LOST AND BREAK PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD. BREAKS DO NOT BECOME USEABLE UNTIL YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND WHILE IN PARKING IS LOTS.
