2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

I OWN A 2016 SILVERADO WITH A FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THE ISSUE WAS RECTIFIED BY A GM DEALER, AND SERVICE RECORDS ARE ATTACHED. I AM FILING A COMPLIANT TO ENSURE NHTSA IS AWARE OF A DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THIS TRUCK. THE ISSUE BECAME APPARENT OVER THE COURSE OF WEEKS. INITIAL PROBLEMS INCLUDED AN AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE ONCE THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. AS THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BRAKE WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE ON INCLINES AS FLAT AS 2 DEGREES. IN FACT, BRAKES WOULD FAIL AND ABS WOULD KICK IN WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. YOUTUBE VIDEO SUMMARIZES ISSUE HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0KRKYEVBCU0

I MADE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION GOING 0MPH TO 10MPH (LOW SPEED) AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY I HAD A ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION AND NOT GET T-BONED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND START IT AGAIN TO DRIVE OFF. NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND I STILL HAD POWER STEERING INDICATING THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM AS THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE NHTSA DATA BASE WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCKS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THAT MEANS THERE ARE NOW 3 COMPLAINTS OUT OF 10 RELATING TO THIS VERY PROBLEM UNDER THE CATEGORY OF ENGINE FOR THIS TRUCKS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. THERE ARE ALSO MORE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON VARIOUS FORMS AROUND THE INTERNET BUT HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED TO THE NHTSA. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP 2 MONTHS AGO WITH 47,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT THE 50,000 MILE MARK. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY KNOW KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE OR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OUT THERE RELATING TO THIS ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK YET.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND PEDAL FAILED CAUSING ME TO USE EXCESSIVE BRAKE PRESSURE TO GET THE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. DUE TO THIS I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A CRASH THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY BRAKES FAILED ME CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN FROM GOING LESS THAN 5MPH (I WAS INCHING UP AFTER ABOUT 10 CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME). I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME AND NEVER ACCELERATES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. I WAS ON ABOUT A VERY SLIGHT DOWNHILL (MAYBE 1 DEGREE). IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES BECAME SLIPPERY AND JUST SOUNDED AWFUL. I CAME WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND ALMOST REAR ENDED THEM. THE NEXT OCCASION, I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND TO THE LEFT AND HAS TO STOP. THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING WHERE THE POWER BRAKES SEEMED TO FAIL OR THE BRAKES JUST DIDN'T WANT TO WORK. THIS TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH AND HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE WRONG LANE TO AVOID CRASHING. THANKFULLY NOBODY WAS COMING OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE HAD TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS PROBABLY 5 OR 6 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND HIM WHEN WE BOTH HIT THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME. THE 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS THIS MORNING IN THE SAME SPOT AS THE SECOND INCIDENT. THIS TIME, I WAS TESTING THE BRAKES. I'M VERY SCARED THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP. I BOUGHT THIS GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO AND SHOULD BE IN GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION. THESE 3 INCIDENTS HAPPENED IN A 10-14 DAY SPAN AND 2 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 DAYS.

ONCORE MODULE

I WAS DRIVING AND THE RPM GOES UP AND DOWN. ITS BEEN DOING IT FOR AWHILE NOW. ILL HE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WELL SHIFT GEARS OR HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS. IT DOES BETWEEN GOING 60 TO 80 MPH. SOMETIMES I FEAR IT MIGHT SHIFT GEARS AND GET HIT OR LOSE CONTROL.

I STOPPED TO EAT AT A RESTAURANT AND MY BRAKES GOT EXTREMELY HARD AND MY TRUCK DID NOT STOP I USED BOTH FEET TO JAM THE BRAKE DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD TO STOP. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT IT WAS PULLING OUT AS I PULLED IN. MY TRUCK WOULD HAVE STRUCK THIS VEHICLE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM PULLING OUT. I WENT DIRECTLY TO A NEARBY MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK. THEY TOLD ME THE VACUUM PUMP IS FAULTY AND THAT GM HAS A BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SO GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND KNOWS THEIR VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND THE PUBLIC. BUT THEY HAVE NOT ORDERED A RECALL TO FIX THE FAULTY VACUUM PUMP.

BRAKE PEDAL GETS REALLY HARD AND HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE WITH EVERYDAY DRIVING. TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VANDERGRIFF CHEVROLET (1200 WEST INTERSTATE 20, ARLINGTON, TEXAS 76016, (682) 323-2486) ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNSPECIFIED CABLE WITHIN THE AIR BAG HOUSING UNIT WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. *LN *JB

HAPPENED 2X (3/15/18 & 10/31/18) IN MOTION @ 70MPH ON HIGHWAY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RESET. GAUGES DROPPED TO 0, PEGGED OUT AT TOP, THEN BEGAN READING PROPERLY, SIMILAR TO THE VEHICLE STARTING. ALL OTHER SCREENS WENT BLACK AND RESET THEMSELVES. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA DOCUMENT 2014-03896 ON 2014 GM SILVERADOS, BUT APPEARS TO BE DIFFERENT ROOT CAUSE. MY VEHICLE HAD A PHONE PLUGGED IN AND ANDROID AUTO IN USE, BUT I WAS NOT CHANGING VOLUMES OR SONGS. ALSO, THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN A PHONE CALL CAME IN.

THE 7" MYLINK SCREEN IS TOO BRIGHT AT NIGHT EVEN WHEN I DIM THE DASH LIGHTING. THERE IS AN OPTION IN THE SCREEN SETTINGS TO TURN OFF THE SCREEN, WHICH I DO USE, BUT THIS IS DISTRACTING TO GO THROUGH AND THE SCREEN TURNS BACK ON EVERYTIME I ADJUST THE HVAC OR RADIO. THE SCREEN NEEDS AN INDEPENDENT BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT OR A BETTER SCREEN. I THINK A LED SCREEN WOULD WORK BETTER THAN THE CURRENT LCD SCREEN. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

TRANSMISSION IS JERKY, AND DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. FAULTY TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS AND HEAT SENSOR. TRUCK HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR 18 DAYS AND GM HAS NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN THE WIRING HARNESS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'M PAYING FOR A 50K TRUCK AND PAYING FOR A RENTAL WITH NO END IN SIGHT. SHOULD BE A RECALL, SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE PART WAS BEING 'RE-TOOLED'

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED DAN CUMMINS CHEVROLET BUICK DEALER AT 859-987-4345 (LOCATED AT 1020 MLK JR BLVD, PARIS, KY 40361) ADD WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. *TT UPDATED 12/20/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO A BURNING ODOR IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO IT STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BRAD DEERY MOTORS (LOCATED AT 112 N 2ND ST, MAQUOKETA, IA 52060, (563) 235-2923) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,999.

WHEN BACKING UP LOST POWER BRAKE ASSIST, ALSO WHEN PULLING FORWARD, WAS DROPPING MY BOAT OFF IN STORAGE CAUSING MY TO USE THE BRAKES A LOT WHEN BACKING UP, NO POWER ASSIST WHEN PULLING OUT OF GARAGE WHEN LEAVING, WHEN GOING DOWN ROAD BRAKES CAME BACK TO OPERATE AS NORMAL. NOW AFTER BACKING AND BRAKING 3 TIMES POWER ASSIST IS GONE BUT RETURNS WHEN DRIVING NORMAL. HAVE APPOINTMENT AT DEALER TOMORROW FOR CAL PROBLEMS (DASHBOARD SAYS CAL AND SMARTPHONE REMOTE START DOES NOT WORK) WILL HAVE BRAKES CHECKED.

THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN SPEEDS LESS THAN 5 MPH. THE HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET MECHANICS AND THEY SINCE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY DON'T FEEL IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I WANT TO ENSURE THAT OTHERS ARE AWARE AS I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH CHEVROLET TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THEM SINCE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT WAS PROGRESSING. TWO DEALERS WERE CONTACTED: BRAD DEERY AUTO GROUP (844-877-2770, LOCATED AT 112 N 2ND ST, MAQUOKETA, IA 52060) AND AN UNKNOWN DEALER WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V084000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR AND THE RADIO FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES LOST ALL POWER ASSIST AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY STIFF. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTREMELY HARD TO PREVENT HITTING THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND THIS CONDITION CAME WITHOUT WARNING. MOMENTS EARLIER THE BRAKES HAD PERFORMED NORMALLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES.

MY COMPLAINT IS VIBRATION OR A SHAKE. IT'S MOSTLY OCCURS OR WHEN I EXPERIENCE IT IS WHEN I'M AT A IDLE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS AND A FEW MENTIONED THAT IT COULD BE THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR FILTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT SINCE THEIR IS NOT A LIGHT POPPING UP FOR A CODE,THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE NEVER FELT THIS IN OTHER CHEVY OR GMC TRUCKS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. WHY IS CHEVROLET IGNORING THIS ISSUE. TO JUST TELL AN OWNER OF A CHEVY TRUCK, OH IT'S THE "CHEVY SHAKE" AND BRUSH IT OFF IS NOT OK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 85 MPH, THERE WAS AN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE NEAR THE TRANSMISSION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY ALSO PULLED TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. FURTHERMORE, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOMMACK CHEVROLET (CURRENTLY KNOWN AS NORTH PARK CHEVROLET CASTROVILLE, LOCATED AT 1955 US-90, CASTROVILLE, TX 78009, (830) 931-9200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS, BRAKE LINES, AND TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TURN OFF THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD PERFORM BETTER; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT REFUSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 84425679432. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,967. *TT*JB *TR

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.

WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREET, APPLIED BRAKES AND BECAME REALLY HARD. IT WAS HARD TO STOP. PEDAL WAS REALLY HARD. HAD TO PRESS WITH BOTH FEET.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP ISSUES DEALERS AWARE OF ISSUE & HAVE AN UPDATED VACUUM PUMP AVAILABLE. TRANSMISSION ISSUES WERE IT DOWN SHIFTS HARD AT TIMES & HAS A BAD SHATTERING WHEN UPSHISTING AT LOW SPEEDS TOOK IT 2 TIMES BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED SAID WAS JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE. NEVER TOOK CARE OF ISSUE.

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.

MY TRUCK HAS LARGE SPOTS OF PAINT CHIPPING OFF ALL OVER THE TRUCK. HOOD, CAB, TAILGATE AND SIDES. IT WAS GARAGE KEPT WITH NO EXPOSURE TO HAIL OR CHEMICALS. THE SERVICE MANAGE AT THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE PAINT BUT THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY.

THE REAR LEFT TURN SIGNAL, TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WORKS SPORADICALLY. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE PART ON A VEHICLE WITH 45000 MILES THAT SHOULDN'T QUIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-75 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (JIM BUTLER CHEVROLET, 759 GRAVOIS BLUFFS BLVD, FENTON, MO 63026) WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND ROTATED AND BALANCED THE WHEELS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,800. **TR CONSUMER STATED I HAD THE DEALER REINSTALL THE ORIGINAL WHEELS AND TIRE AND THE AGAIN ROAD FORCE BALANCE TIRES AND WHEELS THE VIBRATION WAS THE SAME. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED IN GALESBURG, IL YEMM CHEVROLET 248 MILES NORTH OF WHERE I LIVE, I HAD A CLEAN CARFAX CHECK GIVEN TO ME BY THE DEALER NOTICED THAT IT HAD A VIBRATION SO I PUT A NEW SET OF WHEELS AND TIRES GM (FACTORY WHEELS) THE TRUCK HAD THE SAME VIBRATIONS AFTER 6 TIMES GETTING THE WHEELS TIRE BALANCED (ROAD FORCED) I WAS TOLD THE 5TH TIME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND SENT HOME. HAD THE DEALER REINSTALLED THE ORIGINAL WHEELS AND TIRE WITH ANOTHER ROAD FORCE BALANCE STILL HAD THE VIBRATION, I WAS TOLD BY JIM KRIBBS AT JIM BUTLER THAT HE NEW THE GM REGIONAL MANAGER THAT HE WOULD GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. UPDATED 10/22/18*JB

TS BULLETIN NO.: PIT5361B BRAKES LOSE VACUUM AT LOW SPEED (EG. STOP/START TRAFFIC, FAST FOOD DRIVE THROUGH LANES). IT'S AS IF THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF WHILE BRAKING. CHEVROLET CHARGED $645 TO REPLACE VACUUM PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING INTO A FUEL STATION, UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING A PERSON AND A GAS PUMP. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY AS THE POWER STEERING WAS RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ALAMO CITY CHEVROLET, 9400 SAN PEDRO AVE, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216, (210) 987-2134) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SHORTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A CALL BACK AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW IN MARCH OF 2016. AT JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND 40,000 MILES, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM STARTED FAILING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SEIZING CONTROL OF THE STEERING. IT HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED, THEN IT HAPPENED WHEN TURNING ON A CITY STREET. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A NEW VEHICLE. CHEVY IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND RECALL ON THE '14 & '15 MODEL YEARS.

WAS GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL IN KENTUCKY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT REALLY HARD TO PUSH AND THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. ALSO HAPPENED AT A LOW RPM GOING DOWN THE APPROACH OF A DRIVEWAY. I AM ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. ALSO AT RED LIGHTS IF I PUMP THE BRAKES THEY BECOME REALLY HARD TO PUSH.

PURCHASED BRAND NEW CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 IN 2016, NOTICED SIGNIFICANT SHAKING OF VEHICLE 11 MONTHS INTO OWNING. THIS VEHICLE IS SOLELY USED FOR A DAILY TO AND FROM OFFICE JOB COMMUTE, CONSUMING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES A DAY, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE UPON REACHING 70 MPH SHAKES TERRIBLY, ENOUGH TO SHAKE MY COFFE OUT OF THE CUP. AT THE SAME TIME I ALSO BEGAN TO NOTICE THE QUICK WEARING AND FEATHERING/WARPING OF MY TIRES ON THE INSIDE TREAD AREA. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW TIRES, MIND YOU AT UNDER 19,000 MILES AND THE SHAKING "SHOULD" STOP. HAD THE TIRES REPLACED ALONG WITH AN ALIGNMENT AND THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. SPOKE WITH SEVERAL SILVERADO OWNERS WHOM HAVE THE ISSUES, SOME EARLIER IN OWNERSHIP WHILE OTHERS SOMETIME LATER. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GIVEN A NAME "CHEVY SHAKES". SEARCHED ON LINE FOR THIS ISSUE AND SURPRISINGLY THE PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED/DISCUSSED. I'M GETTING THE PERCEPTION THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND CHEVY IS DOING THEIR BEST TO COVER IT UP. FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO GO ALONG WITH THE OTHERS. HOPEFULLY THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED WITH A PREVENTIVE MINDSET RATHER THAN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. IT'S TIME FOR A RECALL!

THE BRAKES FAIL(PERIODICALLY) AT LOW RPM DUE TO VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP FAILURE. TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN MOVING SLOWLY AT IDLE - ROLLING DOWN A DRIVEWAY ETC.

VEHICLE WAS STATINONARY, AND WAS HIT FROM THE REAR AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY. I HAVE DAMAGE TO REAREND, DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT END. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I RECIEVED AN EMAIL THAT THERE WAS A CRITICAL ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONTACTED GM ABOUT ISSUE WAS TRANSFERRED TO ESIS/CENTRAL CLAIMS FOR GM, THEY SENT OUT AND INSPECTOR TO PULL CRASH DATA, I WAS GIVEN COPY OF CRASH DATA, AND CRASH DATA STATED AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THEY DID NOT, IT ALSO SHOWED A CODE B0052-00 WHICH IS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CODE. AFTER WEEKS OF BACK AND FORTH MY CLAIM WAS DENIED FOR PRODUCT DEFECT ON 06/12/18,

DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE GOING AROUND A CORNER AT 40MPH AND CAME BACK ALMOST CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL.

I AM HAVING BRAKE ASSIST FAILURE AT ALL SPEEDS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP WITHOUT APPLYING FULL FORCE. THE ABS 'CLICKING' CAN BE HEARD AND FELT WHILE TRYING TO APPLY BRAKES. THIS SYSTEM FAILED GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS WITH A CAMPER BEHIND US AND CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THE 'SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST' LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER FIVE MINUTES AND WAS DRIVEN TO STYKEMAIN CHEVROLET (1255 N WILLIAMS ST, PAULDING, OH 45879, (419) 399-2071). THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TRUCK HAS VIBRATION AT 70 MPH AND UPWARDS FROM REAR OF VEHICLE WHEN ON INTERSTATE - FEELS LIKE A DRIVELINE VIBRATION. CAN BE FELT IN THE SEAT AND NOT THROUGH STEERING WHEEL. VIBRATION AT TIMES IS SEVERE AND OTHER TIMES MINOR OR NON-EXISTENT. DEALER KEEPS BLAMING TIRE/WHEEL BALANCE BUT THEY ARE IN SPEC (VERIFIED BY THIRD PARTY TIRE DEALER). CONCERN THAT VIBRATION WILL CAUSE CONTROL ISSUES OR SOMETHING TO BREAK WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS VIBRATION HAS BEEN PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOIBG ON SINCE 2016 AND THERE STILL ISNT A SOLUTION. MY AIR BAG SENSOR GOES ON FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT REALLY STRESSESME OUT NOT KNOWING IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO WRONG. I HAVE CALLED MY NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE IS AN UPDATE OR IF THEY CAN PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER IN THE MEANTIME, AND THE ANSWER IS 'NO' I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THEIR SAFETY IS MY NUMBER 1 PRIORITY

SEAT BELT BUCKLE BROKE AFTER TWO YEARS. WHAT OCCURRED: TRIED TO BUCKLE THE BELT AND IT DID NOT WORK. HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. INNER PLASTIC PIECE BROKE. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BUT ONLY AFTER INSISTING THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY REPAIR. NOTED CONCERN THAT A SAFETY PART HAPPENED TO BECOME DEFECTIVE AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (2 YEARS).

AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD BEFORE STOPPING. WHEN MAKING SLOW TURNS, LIKE IN A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP FORWARD OR LAG SOMETIME WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

AIR CONDITIONING ISSUES. NOT BLOWING COLD AIR.
