2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

BRAKES CONSISTENTLY TURNING ROCK HARD WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN BOTH THE FORWARD AND REVERSE POSITION. FIRST OCCASION 13,000 MILES. DEALER DENYS A PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT IMPROVED SLIGHTLY AFTER THE SERVICE CALL. STILL AN ONGOING ISSUE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. AT 25KMILES NOW. OCCURS WHIRLE SLOWLY ON DRIVING ON ROADS & PARKING. VERY DANGEROUS GOIN DOWN HILLS OR IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC OR PREPAREING TO MERGE OR TURN ONTO ROADS. BRINGING BACK FOR SERVICE THIS WEEK. WILL UPDATE WHAT ACTION THEY DO/ DON'T TAKE.

ALL FORMS OF SOUND ON THE VEHICLE STOPS, FOR EXAMPLE THE RADIO SHUTS OFF, TURNING SIGNALS WORK BUT NO SOUND, DOOR SOUNDS, SEATBELT ALARM ETC. NONE OF THESE SOUNDS WORK. THIS HAPPENS ON RANDOM OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES IT FIXES ITSELF ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE TURNED OF OR THE BATTERY RESET. SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS ALREADY RESOLVED WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. PARIS CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1915 N MAIN ST, PARIS, TX 75460, (906) 669-1144) WAS CONTACTED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

VEHICLE STARTED "COLD" IN HOME OWNER'S DRIVEWAY. POOL OF FLUID OBSERVED ON GROUND AFTER MOVING VEHICLE 50'. VEHICLE PUT INTO PARK, I EXITED VEHICLE, SMELLED GASOLINE AND PHYSICALLY OBSERVED GASOLINE SPRAYING OUT @ SYSTEM FUEL PRESSURE FROM A RUPTURED GAS LINE IN MID SECTION OF UNDERCARRIAGE. GASOLINE WAS ALSO SPRAYING DIRECTLY ONTO MUFFLER. VEHICLE SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. TURNED KEY ON WITHOUT STARTING VEHICLE AND GASOLINE AGAIN STARTED SPRAYING UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE. FIRE DEPT. NOTIFIED AND RESPONDED TO INCIDENT. NO VEHICLE FIRE RESULTED, HOWEVER VEHICLE WAS STARTED "COLD" . I BELIEVE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC HAD THIS HAPPENED WITH VEHICLE AT FULL OPERATING TEMP. DEALERSHIP STATED MY GAS LINE RUPTURE WAS FIRST THEY HAD SEEN ON A NEWER VEHICLE AND IT WAS A COMPOSITE GAS LINE. IT TOOK A WEEK TO GET REPLACEMENT PART FOR REPAIR TO BE MADE. I HAVE REQUESTED TO SEE THIS GAS LINE OR GIVEN A PICTURE BY DEALERSHIP. REPAIR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS FIRE/SAFETY PROBLEM TO OCCUPANTS IN AND AROUND VEHICLE AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO DETERMINE IF THIS TYPE OF GASOLINE LINE IS DEFECTIVE AND # OF VEHICLES POSSIBLY EFFECTED.

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH. UNABLE TO STOP TRUCK THAT WAS IN MOTION IN A PARKING LOT.

THE BRAKES DON'T HOLD AT TIMES. HAS HAPPENED WHILE BACKING UP AND DURING REGULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED DURING CITY STREETS OR DURING STOP AND GO DRIVING. FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES NEVER ENGAGE BUT THE PEDAL IS PRESSED FULLY.

GM WIRELESS CHARGING IN MY 2016 SILVERADO ISN'T COMPARABLE WITH ANY MODERN DEVICES. IT ONLY WORKS WITH THEIR RECOMMENDED DEVICES WHICH WASN'T STATED WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

HEADRESTS ARE DESIGNED IN A MANNER THAT YOUR HEAD IS CONSTANTLY PUSHED FORWARD. THIS LIMITS THE DRIVER BEING ABLE TO LOOK UP. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING TO HAVE TO KEEP THE SEAT BELT LOOSE IN ORDER TO LEAN FORWARD TO GET YOUR HEAD AWAY FROM THE HEADREST AND LOOK UP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OR READ SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE REMEDY SUGGESTED BY THE DEALERSHIP IS TO TURN THE HEADREST AROUND BACKWARD, WHICH LEAVES NO SUPPORT FOR YOUR HEAD IN CASE OF A REAR END COLLISION. MOST OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO HAVE SIMPLY REMOVED THE HEADREST TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. OTHERS HAVE RECLINED THE SEATS BACK, WHICH MAKES THE DRIVER VULNERABLE IN A FRONT END COLLISION OF SLIDING OUT UNDERNEATH THE SEAT BELT UNDER THE DASH. ACCORDING TO A GENERAL MOTORS REPRESENTATIVE THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE 2010 YEAR MODEL VEHICLES.

WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP MY TRUCK IS MAKING A CLUNKING SCRATCH NOISE. ALSO WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IT ALSO MAKES THIS NOISE OR IF I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL IT MAKES A POPPING NOISE. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE IS MORE WORN ON THE OUTSIDE THAN THE INSIDE. I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT EVERY TIME THEY DO THE OIL CHANGE THEY ARE ROTATING MY TIRES. THIS DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WORN HEAVILY ON THE OUTSIDE AND NO OTHER TIRES EVEN APPEAR TO LOOK THIS WAY. I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 TRUCKS, BUT WAS TOLD BY GM THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THAT RECALL, BUT MY TRUCK IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE TRUCKS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I NEED THIS LOOKED INTO. GM RECALL NUMBER FOR THE 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WAS 42190. BUT AGAIN, I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THAT RECALL, BUT MY TRUCK IS HAVING THE SYMPTOMS OF HAVING FAULTY FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM AND THE BUSHINGS.

I EASED THE VEHICLE INTO THE PARKING SPACE, RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL, AND IT SURGED/JUMPED FORWARD. MY VEHICLE PUSHED THE OTHER VEHICLE IN OPPOSITE PARKING SPACE ABOUT A FOOT, CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES.
