2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE FRONT SEAT SHIFTS AROUND WHEN CORNERING. THE TRUCK SHIFTS CONSTANTLY. IT CAN NEVER FIND THE CORRECT GEAR WHEN IT NEEDS ONE. IT CONTINUES EVEN AFTER THEY SHIMMED THE FRONT SEAT AND SHIFTING ISSUES HAPPEN DAILY.

THE 2016 SILVERADO HAS A PROGRAMMING ISSUE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I DRIVE UNDER A LOAD GOING UP A HILL IT CHUGS LIKE I HAVE A MISS FIRE ISSUE. THE PROGRAMMING IS SET SO IT STAYS IN THE HIGHEST GEAR FOR TO LONG WHEN DRIVING IN CITY CONDITIONS. IT STAYS IN 6TH GEAR GOING 25-30MPH AND WHEN YOU NEED THE THROTTLE. THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO BE IN. ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WENT TO PULL OUT OF A SIDE ROAD ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND THE TRUCK FELL FLAT ON ITS FACE LIKE I HIT A KILL SWITCH AND IT ALL MOST CAUSED ME TO GET T-BONED. I HIT THE THROTTLE MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT DECIDED IT WAS GOING TO 100% THROTTLE AND HAVE ME GOING OUT SIDEWAYS ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED IT TO BE A PROGRAMMING ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NO FIX FROM GM AND THE DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT BECAUSE OF EPA LAWS, BUT THERE ARE AFTERMARKET TUNERS THAT ADDRESS THIS VERY ISSUE AND FIXES THE PROBLEM AND ALSO VOIDS WARRANTY OF THE TRUCK. IT'S HAD THE ISSUE SINCE THE 2ND WEEK I'VE OWNED IT FROM NEW. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO KEEP CALLING GM TO COMPLAIN, BUT ALL GM DOES IS SEND ME TO THE DEALER. WHERE I'M TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH IF IT HASN'T ALL READY. I HAVE 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE AUTO TECHNICIAN FIELD AND MY FAMILY COMBINED OVER 100 YEARS. YOU KNOW THE ISSUE IS BAD WHEN A BEGINNER DRIVER NOTICES THE ISSUE. IF YOU HAVE A LOCAL PERSON. I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE THEM FOR A RIDE TO SHOW THEM. FOR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT STARTED IN 2ND WEEK OF JULY TO PRESENT. IT ONLY HAD AROUND 300 MILES WHEN IT STARTED.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN SEPTEMBER 2017. GM TECHNICIANS SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND IT. SHUDDER SPREAD TO ALL SPEEDS - ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS GOING UPHILL. TRUCK WOULD LURCH FORWARD FROM GEAR TO GEAR AND GENERALLY RUN WITH A CONSTANT VIBRATION. IN DECEMBER 2017 GM TECHNICIAN REPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND DIAGNOSED IT AS A MALFUNCTIONING TORQUE CONVERTER. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THE NEW PARTS TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THE TRUCK HAD NO TRANSMISSION SHUDDER PROBLEMS FOR THE 1ST 12 MONTHS I OWNED IT.
