2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

LOOSE STEERING 4 INCHES EACH WAY FROM CENTER WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEM WITH STEERING BOX ADJUSTING SCREW BACKING OUT BEFORE AND AFTER LOCKTITE BEING APPLIED. PROBLEM HAS REOCCUR SEVERAL TIMES WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON STOCK TRUCK

THE POWER ASSIST TO THE BRAKES IS FAILING. THE TRUCK REQUIRES EXTREME FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD.

GOING DOWNHILL USING THE BRAKES OFTEN IT LOSES POWER BRAKES BECAUSE OF VACUUM LOSS. THEIR IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT MY TRUCK IS NOT ON IT. TO RECALIBRATE THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL. THE BRAKES STILL WORK BUT WITH NO ASSIST IT IS VERY HARD TO SLOW DOWN. THE CODE SHOWED ON MY CHEVROLET APP BUT NOT WHEN THEY SCANNED THE VEHICLE. CODE 8-9999

THE CLEAR COAT PAINT IS PEELING ON MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR ON THE TOP OF THE DOOR.

SLOPPY LOOSE STEERING. PURCHASED NEW IN 2016, WITH LESS THAN 5K MILES NOTICED STEERING WAS GETTING LOOSE. NOW WITH 76K MILES, TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. TWICE WAS BLOWN OFF AND NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT ISSUE. AT 66K THEY REPLACED THE STEERING BOX. ONCE AGAIN WITH ANOTHER 10K MILES THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK. EVERYONE KNOWS THE BS THE DEALERSHIP GIVES YOU ONCE THE WARRANTY IS OUT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, DRIVING WHILE PULLING A TRAILER MAKES ISSUE MUCH WORSE. ALSO ON A WINDY DAY THE PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE AND CAN CAUSE A WRECK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED THE STB TWO OR THREE TIMES, IT'S ONLY A TEMP FIX. TIME FOR GM RECALL.

I REMOTELY STARTED MY TRUCK. IT WAS APPROX 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE. APPROX 5 MINUTES LATER I GOT INTO THE TRUCK, AND STARTED BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND, AND MY REAR WINDOW JUST DISENTIGRATED. IT IS A 3 SECTION HEATED POWER WINDOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RETRACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THROWING P203B CODE, WHICH IS THE REDUCTANT LEVEL SENSOR CODE. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE ALREADY IN THESE VEHICLES DATING BACK TO 2011 WHEN IT STARTED. I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN #14652A REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH SENSOR BUT THE DATES ON THE VEHICLES ONLY STATE 2011-2012. I WANT TO SEE IF THERE IS A NEWER BULLETIN RELEASED WHICH COVERS THE LATER YEARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

AT APPROXIMATELY 9,700 MILES THE STEERING IN MY 2016 2500HD CHEVROLET SLIVERADO LTZ SUDDENLY HAD 3-4 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING. THIS MADE THE TRUCK DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE DEALER WAS HELPFUL AND REPLACED THE STEERING BOX AT NO COST. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 51,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS PLAY IN THE STEERING GEAR BOX AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THEY ALREADY PUT A STEERING BOX IN THE TRUCK AND OFFERED TO "HELP" BY ONLY CHARGING ME 1,000 DOLLARS FOR ANOTHER NEW STEERING BOX, DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE PLAY IT HAS AGAIN. I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE FACT THE TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. SECONDLY, THE SPEED AT WHICH THE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL OCCURS. IN MY CASE, BOTH EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WENT FROM NORMAL TO PROBLEMATIC INSTANTLY. I AM BEYOND UNDERSTANDING WHY GM HASN'T PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABLE TO STEER AND STOP YOU VEHICLE. MY OTHER CONCERNS INVOLVE PUTTING A THIRD GEAR BOX IN THE TRUCK AT A COST OF A 1,000 DOLLARS WITH NO GUARANTEE THE THIRD ONE WON'T DO THE SAME THING IN ANOTHER 9,700 TO 41,000 MILES. IT WOULD BE SERIOUSLY NICE TO KNOW, WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE POSTED 60 MPH SPEED LIMIT, YOUR TRUCK DOESN'T DECIDE TO ALL THE SUDDEN WONDER OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS MINE DID. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE WOULD HELP THOSE OF US IN THIS POSITION. GM OBVIOUSLY HAS A PROBLEM THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ADDRESSING.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT WANDERED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT AND WHEN YOU ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK TO CENTER, IT WOULD OVER CORRECT. THIS WAS MORE DIFFICULT WHEN TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL RV. IT WAS A CONSTANT CHALLENGE TO KEEP THE TRUCK AND TRAILER IN MY LANE.
