MAKIING A TURN THE STEERING LOCKED AND ENGINE DIED 2 TIMES AND YESTERDAY WHILE DIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR IT DIED AND MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. FIRST TIME WE ALLMOST GOT HIT BY AN OTHER CAR . IM VERY, VERY CONCERN . TRUCK HAS 19K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT ALMOST DROVE INTO THE ROAD DIVIDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FAULKNER CADILLAC/CHEVROLET IN BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA, 610-867-4177) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DESIGNED TO ILLUMINATE THAT WAY AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,100.

TIRE TREAD IS DELAMINATING. HAVE SEEN EARLY RECALL FOR SAME TIRE BUT NOT COVERING MANUFACTURING TIME FRAME FOR MY TIRES. THEY ARE CONTINENTAL CROSS CONTACT LX20 MANUFACTURED (2516). ORIGINAL RECALL DATE 10/5/16 COVERING MANUFACTURING PERIOD 5/3/15 THRU 5/9/15. RECALL LISTED DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO TIRES ON MY TRUCK.

DRIVING AT 35MPH , SUDDENLY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, UPON GIVING GAS WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, ONLY RPM KEPT GOING HIGH, THE YELLOW CHECK INGINE SYMBOL CAME ON.TOWED TO A DELAERSHIP,CASING BROKEN BETWEEN 4TH,5TH,6TH GEAR BROKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO GEAR AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (QUIRK CHEVROLET, 1000 BRIGHTON AVE, PORTLAND, ME 04102) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

THE STABILITRAK HAS BEEN GOING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES, SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. TWICE, OVER THE SPAN OF TWO DAYS, THE STABILITRAK HAS GONE OFF WHILE IN MOTION, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON DRY GROUND. IT HAS ALSO GONE OFF ABOUT 4 TIMES BACK-TO-BACK WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS ON AN ON RAMP. THE MAIN DISPLAY HAS ALSO BEEN RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF (SCREEN GOES BLACK) WITHOUT WARNING OR OBVIOUS REASON.

ISSUE SINCE NEW: ONLY 100 MILES. LEAF SPRINGS ON 2016 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LT 4X4 TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALL THEY WILL DO IS PLACE GREASE PACKS ON LEAF SPRINGS, QUIETING (MASKING) THE REAL ISSUE. THIS TEMPORARY "FIX" LAST ONLY APPROX. 7 DAYS AND THE LOUD BANGING AND BOUNCING OF BED IS BACK. THE VIBRATION THAT IS CAUSES IN CAB ALONG WITH THE BOUNCING GIVES PASSENGERS HEADACHES AND IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR TERRIBLE WEAR OF TIRES. TRUCKS TIRES FROM FACTORY ARE ALSO BAD AND UNSAFE. IN FOR SERVICE AND DID NOTHING. WAS STATED THAT THEY WERE 100,000 MILES TIRES.... ALL TIRES CUPPED AND WORN TO 40% AND TRUCK ONLY HAD 24,000 MILES. CALLED DEALER TO HAVE ISSUE ADDRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES - THEY BLAMED THE OWNERS. WE DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK (MAINLY HIGHWAY), KEEP IT CLEAN... MAINTAIN IT TO PERFECTION AND NO OFF ROAD DRIVING OF ANY SORT. NO WAY THIS IS AN OWNER-INDUCED ISSUE. LEAF SPRINGS NEED TO BE RECALLED.... ALONG WITH THE GOODYEAR TIRES PROVIDED BY FACTORY. HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE ISSUES FIXED THROUGH DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY GM WILL NOT PAY THEM SO THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER REMEDIES. NO TIRE FIX, AND ONLY TEMPORARY ONE WEEK 'MASKING FIX' FOR THE LEAF SPRING ISSUE.

MY TRUCK IS A 2016 AND IS BURNING OIL TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TRUCK TO BURN OIL BUT FOR A BRAND NEW TRUCK I THINK IT IT'S NOT TRUE WHEN I HAD 2004 TAHOE AND I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE MY BROTHER BOUGHT A NEW TRUCK AND IS NOT BURNING ANYTHING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GALLAES CHEVROLET (2801 UNIVERSITY BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO MARKS CASA CHEVROLET (7201 LOMAS BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87110). THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY STILL AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000. *TT *TR

FROM SPEEDS OF 60 TO 80 MILE PER HOUR THERE IS AN INCONSISTENT VIBRATION OR SHAKE FELT IN THE WHOLE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I'M HAVING BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PETAL IS SUPER HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND IT ALMOST ISN'T ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TRUCK STOP ROLLING AT SLOW SPEEDS. TRUCK HAS RIGHT AT 43,XXX MILES ON IT AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

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

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THERE IS A BAD VIBRATION ABOVE 70 MPH

2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOOSE FRONT CONTROL ARMS AND LOSS OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS CAN BREAK LOOSE AND A LOSS OF STEERING CAN OCCUR. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. UPDATED 10/25/2017*JS

THE LED HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD FOR AN ACCEPTABLE DISTANCE. THE LIGHT ONLY PROJECTS HIGH ENOUGH AND LONG ENOUGH TO LIGHT THE ROAD FOR A SHORT DISTANCE.

WINDSHIELD HAS WHAT LOOKS TO BE WATER SPOTS ON IT CANNOT BE SEEN WHEN WINDSHIELD IS DRY BUT WHEN MOIST OR RAINING WINDSHIELD BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH I TRIED SPOT REMOVER WITH NO LUCK CHEVROLET REFUSED TO AKNOWLEDGE THIS WAS A DEFECT AND I EVENTUALLY PAID TO REPLACE WINSHIELD MYSELF EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR I RECENTLY TRADED THE VEHICLE FOR A 2017 AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE I AM DONE WITH CHEVROLET!!!! LAST ONE I WILL OWN

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ESPECIALLY WHILE COLD SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD AND ALSO MAKING A CLUNK WHEN COMINT TO A STOP LIKE THE U-JOINT IS BAD OR SLACK IN THE REAR END TOOK TRUCK TO CHEVROLET AT LEAST 6 TIMES THEY CALIBRATED THE GEARS REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING I FINALLY GOT FED UP WITH IT AND TRADED IT IN ON A 2017 NOW I AM ALREADY HEARING AND FEELING THE CLUNK WHEN I STOP THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHEVROLET!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE OPERATING ON AN INCLINE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. KENNY ROSS CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 11250 US-30, NORTH HUNTINGTON, PA) WAS CONTACTED AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,025.

THE PAINT ON BODY OF TRUCK CHIPS AND SCRATCHES AS WELL AS HAS DEEP SWIRLS. IT IS JUST NOW A YEAR OLD AND THE FRONT END, HOOD, SIDES ALL HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO CHIPS AND SCRATCHES THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I HAND WASH MY VEHICLE SO IT IS NOT CAUSED BY A CAR WASH. THE PAINT IN OTHER BLOGS WITH CHEVROLET HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE VERY FAULTY DUE TO EPA REGULATIONS. ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE HAD HAS NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER HAS A BLACK JEEP, NO PROBLEMS, I HAD A BLACK JEEP, NO PROBLEMS. I PAID THE MOST I HAVE EVER PAID FOR A VEHICLE AGAIN BLACK AND THE PAINT JOB IS HORRIBLE! SADLY IT IS SOMETHING WELL KNOWN FOR CHEVROLET.

POOR VISIBILITY ON THE HEADLAMPS ON RAINY NIGHTS . IT'S LIKE I'M DRIVING WITH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF .

THIS VEHICLE (2016 SILVERADO) HAS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "CHEVY SHAKE", AN UNRESOLVABLE DRIVELINE UNDER SEAT VIBRATION THAT IS VERY SEVERE AT TIMES. GM HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN PI1354C WHICH I FOLLOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO REDUCE / ELIMINATE THE SEVERE SHAKE THAT OCCURS AT SPEEDS OF 69 ' 79 MPH WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY MATTER WHEN A VEHICLE SHAKES TO THE EXTENT OF DRIVER DISTRACTION AND THERE ARE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LONG TERM EFFECT ON SAFETY COMPONENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT SEVERE SHAKING THAT THEY WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE SUBJECTED TO UNDER NORMAL DURABILITY TESTING. I DO NOT FEEL "IN CONTROL" WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SEVERE SHAKING OCCURS AT 69MPH. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING BUILD ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND PROVIDE RELIEF TO GM TRUCK OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING TURNS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARADISE CHEVROLET CADILLAC (27360 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 9259 (951) 699-2699) FIVE TIMES FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED OR DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LAST TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, SHE INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD INADVERTENTLY TURN TO THE "OFF" POSITION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR MONTHS LATER. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT FOR 8/2/2017. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE CONTACT'S RENTAL PROPERTY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

OUR CHEVROLET SIVERADO 1500 2017 HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE FREEWAY IN TRACY, CA (HWY 205) WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM ROSEVILLE, CA. WE CALLED OUR INSURANCE ROADSIDE EMERGENCY AND THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD US THE BLOWOUT LOOKS BAD AND THAT WE WERE VERY LUCKY.

AT 4200 MILES THE FRONT RIGHT DISC BRAKE WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT LEFT SHOWED NORMAL WEAR AND THAT IT STILL HAVE MORE THAN 50% LEFT ON THE PAD. THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER WAS NOT RETRACTING AND CAUSED THE BRAKE TO RUN COMPRESSED FOR A LONG TIME HENCE CAUSING UNREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE ROTOR. THE DEALER SERVICE DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE DEFECTIVE CALIPER, ONLY THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ROTOR AND BRAKES, NEVER MENTIONED THAT THE LEFT SIDE WAS NORMAL. IS THERE A RECALL FOR BRAKE CALIPERS ON THIS VEHICLE??

STARTING VEHICLE UP AT MY HOME. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IDLED ROUGHLY. I TOOK IT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND COOLANT GETTING INTO A CYLINDER. THEY HAVE TO ORDER A NEW CYLINDER HEAD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD WITH 15600 MILES ON IT.

VEHICLE OPERATOR HAS RADIO SHUT OFF. WHEN VEHICLE IS USED AGAIN THE RADIO COMES ON UNWANTED SHORTLY AFTER START. IF VEHICLE HAS STARTED MOVING THIS PUTS THE OPERATOR IN A DISTRACTED DRIVING SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY OTHER STARTUP. ( IF STARTS ARE MORE THAN A FEW MINUETS APART.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HILLTOP CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,367.

THE TRUCK WOULD GO OUT ALIGNMENT WITH NORMAL DRIVING AND THEY REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING ONCE AND BAD ALREADY. IT BEEN ONLY TWO MONTH SINCE THEY REPLACE THE BEARING.

REAR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, LEAF SPRING BUSHINGS AND HARDWARE PREMATURE FAILURE. POSSIBLE LEAF SPRING AND OR FRAME MOUNT INADEQUATELY DESIGNED. REAR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, SPECIFICALLY THE BUSHINGS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE FAILED ON ONE SET OF LEAF SPRINGS, AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING ON A SECOND REPLACEMENT SET, RESULTING IN UNDESIRABLE BIND/WOBBLE SOUNDS AND HOLLOW THUMP NOISE FELT INSIDE THE CABIN (NOISE SIMILAR TO A LOOSE SPARE TIRE WOBBLING AND STRIKING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK BED). THE PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. THE MORE MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT THE ISSUE BECOMES. THE CONCERN IS OF PREMATURE PART FAILURE OR BREAKAGE RESULTING IN INJURY. THE ORIGINAL SET OF GM LEAF SPRINGS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE GM FACTORY WERE MANUFACTURED IN CANADA AND FAILED AROUND 15,000 MILES. GM REPLACEMENT LEAF SPRINGS INSTALLED WERE MADE IN MEXICO AND ARE FAILING AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES. THE TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE AS OF 5/30/2017 IS ABOUT 30,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS WELL CARED FOR AND IS ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP AT MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. PRIMARILY DAILY COMMUTER VEHICLE TO AND FROM A DESK JOB. NO HAULING OR LOADS IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THE MANUFACTURER/DEALERS ISSUED TSB'S RECOMMENDING TO PRESSURE WASH THE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, CHECK SUSPENSION HARDWARE TORQUE SPECS, AND DISASSEMBLE, LUBE AND RE-ASSEMBLE THE LEAF SPRING PACK. THESE HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BY A GM DEALER

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL CONTROLS: POWER STEERING, ENGINE POWER, STABILITRAK, AIRBAGS. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE COMPROMISED AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON A FEW TIMES IT WILL GO INTO A 'LIMP MODE'. I'VE BEEN STRANDED IN THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, ONCE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, AND TWICE WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. DURING ONE INCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, AIRBAGS, SAFETY CONTROLS, AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND MAKE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER. GM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND ARE NOW REFUSING TO HONOR THE WARRANTY, REPLACE THE VEHICLE, OR REFUND THE PURCHASE. THIS HAS BEEN A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE HAD MY WIFE AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS DIED ON THE FREEWAY. NOT ONLY IS IT A SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, BUT ANY OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. AS SUCH I HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY LONGER, BUT GM SEEMS INTENT ON IGNORING THIS.

FROM THE DAY I TOOK POSESSION OF THE TRUCK I HAVE COMPLAINED OF A VIBRATION IN THE CHASIS. I WAS FIRST TOLD I HAD FLAT SPOTS ON THE TIRES AND WERE REPLACED. DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NEXT TOLD I HAD A NAIL IN MY TIRE, HAD IT REPLACED, DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NEXT THEY TOLD ME ABOUT A FRICTION/ROAD TEST THAT WAS NEEDED ON SOME 1500 PICK UPS. THEY "BALANCED MY TIRES" AND TOLD ME I WAS GOOD TO GO. DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND THE VIBRATION CONTINUES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT 65MPH AND ABOVE ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS.

PURCHASED TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2017 NEW HAD 100 MILES ON IT NOW HAS 4435 MILES ON IT NOW IT'S BEEN IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR VIBRATION ITSO GOING BACK FOR A 4TH TIME FOR THEVERYONE SAME ISSUE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS HAS HAD 1 TIRE REPLACED ON RIGHT FRONT AND 1 RIM REPLACED ON RIGHT REAR STILL HAVE VIBRATION ISSUE THE THE DEALER IS PURCHASED IT AT SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT TOOK TO 2ND DEALER THEY FOUND THE ISSUES WITH IT IT STILL HAS VIBRATION AT 55 MPH TO 70 MPH AND DEVELOPED A BAD VIBRATION AT IDLE WHEN IN PARK AND GM IS INVOLVED

HEADREST INTERFERES CAUSES MY HEAD TO BE PUSHED FORWARD LIMITING MY VISION OF THE ROAD. THIS IS DISTRACTING DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER. AS I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS DURING PURCHASE, THE SALESPERSON SUGGESTED THAT THE HEADREST COULD BE TURNED BACKWARDS, AS DONE BY OTHER OWNERS. AS HE TRIED THIS TWO ITEMS WERE APPARENT, FIRST WAS NO SUPPORT FOR MY HEAD DURING A REAR END CRASH, AND SECOND THERE WAS NO POSITION HOLDS FOR RAISING OR LOWERING THE HEADREST. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO WORK WITH GM FOR A HEADREST PROPERLY DESIGNED TO SUPPORT MY HEAD AND BE COMFORTABLE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. THEY HAVE STATED THE HEADREST IS WORKING ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS DESIGN, AND SAID I NEED TO READJUST THE SEAT. TO READJUST THE SEAT MEANS TO LEAN IT BACKWARD. THIS ACTION PUTS ME AT RISK FOR A FRONTAL CRASH BECAUSE NOW THE SEAT-BELT AND AIR BAG BECOME INEFFECTIVE ALLOWING ME TO SLIDE OUT UNDERNEATH BOTH. LEANING BACK IS NOT A COMFORTABLE POSITION FOR ME TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. AGAIN WE GET INTO THE DISTRACTED DRIVING SCENARIO. ONE GM PERSON SUGGESTED I PURCHASE AN AFTERMARKET HEADREST, BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT APPROVED AFTERMARKET HEADRESTS. I ASKED HIM ALSO ABOUT WHO WOULD BE HAVING THE LIABILITY IN CASE OF A CRASH. HE REFUSED TO ANSWER. ONE GM PERSON ALSO COMMENTED THAT THIS COMPLAINT WAS FIRST DOCUMENTED DURING THE 2010 YEAR MODEL LIGHT TRUCKS. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING INVOLVED WITH AN INCID

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED. WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES AND ROTATED THE WHEELS, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED TURNING AT ABOUT THE 10 O'CLOCK POSITION, JERKED HARD TO THE RIGHT OUT OF MY HANDS. I BRAKED AND TRIED TO TURN AGAIN, THE STEERING DID THIS REPEATLY FOR FIVE ATTEMPTS. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK. THE STEERING THEN WORKED NORMALLY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF EPISODE 5 TIMES BETWEEN US. THIS TRUCK DOES HAVE THE LANE MONITORING SYSTEM AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GENTLE TUG OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND VIBRATION IN THE SEAT. THIS IS NOT LIKE THAT. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VERY LOW SPEED WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT VERY LOW CONTINUOUS SPEED SUCH AS ENTERING A DRIVEWAY. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED WHEN TURNING RIGHT. SOMETIMES IT CORRECTS ITSELF, SOMETIME YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND REBOOT IT. I HAVE GIVEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION. THEIR INITIAL REACTION WAS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FORTUNATELY NO DAMAGE TO OURSELVES OR OTHERS, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. THAT IS WHY I FELT I SHOULD REPORT THIS.

TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE A HARD SHIFT SOMETIMES, MOSTLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND LIGHT TROTTLE. FEELS LIKE YOU JUST HIT A LARGE POTHOLE.

WE ARE AN AUTOMOBILE SERVICE CENTER. OUR CUSTOMER DROPPED THEIR VEHICLE OFF ON A PARTICULARLY RAINY DAY. THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS WAS COVERED WITH THICK CONDENSATION EVEN THOUGH THE DEFROSTER MODE WITH A/C ON WAS SELECTED. ON HIGH SPEED, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE AIRFLOW FROM THE VENTS. UPON LOWERING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW, THE FAN SPEED, NOISE AND FLOW ALL INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. AN INSPECTION BEHIND THE SEATS REVEALED SOME ITEMS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO COVER THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE CAB. EXTERNAL INSPECTION FOUND AN OUTLET VENT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. BACK INSIDE THE TRUCK THERE WAS NO INSIDE OR INLET VENT TO BE FOUND. REMOVAL OF THE CARPETING ON THE REAR WALL OF THE CAB REVEALED A HEAVY, RUBBER BACKED INSULATING MATERIAL THAT EFFECTIVELY SEALED OFF THE VENT. REMOVAL OF A SMALL PORTION OF THE INSULATING MATERIAL AND THE CARPETING IMPROVED AIRFLOW IMMEDIATELY AND EFFECTIVELY DEFROSTED THE GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHILE WE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. IT IS OUR OPINION THAT THIS DEFECT IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TO DRIVERS BOTH FROM A VISIBILITY STAND POINT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF INCREASED CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS DUE TO IMPROPER CAB VENTILATION.

I PURCHASED A 2016 SILVERADO LT LEFTOVER IN FEB OF 2017 WITH 44 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED A VIBRATION WHILE ACCELERATING AND DECELERATION AND AT ABOUT 70-80 MPH. I FIGURED IT WAS THE GM FACTORY 22 INCH RALLY 2 EDITION WHEELS BEING IN BALANCED AND SINCE I WAS CHANGING THE WHEELS AND TIRES AT 1000 MILES ANYWAY I FIGURED IT WOULD GO AWAY. SINCE PUTTING ON THE NEW TIRES AND WHEELS THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND I HAVE HAD IT AT A GM DEALER TWICE AND MY THIRD APPOINTMENT IN ON 4-5-17 AT A DIFFERENT DEALER SINCE THE FIRST ONE DOES NOT SEEM TO BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAID IT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES. THIS MAKES DRIVING A 50 PLUS THOUSAND TRUCK NOT ENJOYABLE AT ALL.

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. ONCE YOU GET TO 70-80 MILES PER HOUR IT SHAKES PRETTY BAD. I NOTICED OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME THINGS. THEY EVEN NAMED IT THE "CHEVY SHAKE". I JUST WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO IT COULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF OTHERS

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS INTO GEAR MANY TIMES. IT WILL CLUNK INTO GEAR WHEN DOWN SHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE A BAD U JOINT BUT ITS THE TRANSMISSION. FEELS VERY SLOPPY. I HAD CHEVROLET LOOK AT IT TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT ACCORDING TO GM THATS THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE AND THE THEY ALL SHIFT LIKE THAT. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT RIGHT YET GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND HE HAS MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING.

TRUCK HAS AN INSTANT VIBRATION AT SPEEDS 45 MPH AND ABOVE. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR BUT THE TRUCK HAS HAD IT SINCE DAY ONE. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 14 MILES ON IT.

UPON ACCELERATING AFTER TRAFFIC LIGHT, POWER FAILS, STEERING LOCKS FOLLOWING GRINDING CLANKING SOUND IN STEERING COLUMN. ALSO OCCURS SAME SYMPTOMS IN ATTEMPT TO MOVE GEAR SHIFT TO PARK POSITION. MORE FREQUENT DOING THIS PROCEDURE. KEY MOVES BY ITSELF TO ORIGINALLY INPUT POSITION IN PROCESS OF LOCKING STEERING. THIS DEFECT OCCURRED EIGHT TIMES WITHIN FIVE DAYS, REQUIRING TOWING, AND BEING STRANDED. VEHICLE DELIVERED BY TOW SERVICE TO NEAREST CHEVY DEALER ON FIRST FEW FAILURES, VEHICLE RETURNED TO ORIGINAL DEALER 230 MILES AWAY NEAR OWNERS HOME AT COST OF OWNER. ORIGINAL DEALER BELIEVES DEFECT IS POTENTIALLY LIGNITION LOCKING SYSTEM, ATTEMPTING TO VERIFY AT THIS PERIOD. THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE OF LOOSING POWER AND SYSTEMS LOCKING UP JEOPARDIZE OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS LIVES.AGAIN OCCURRENCES WERE AT VERY LOW SPEED OR IN MOTION OF PARKING.

ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE...VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, STEERING, BRAKING, ALL OTHER DEVICES INACTIVE, DRIVING SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS RELEVANT WHEN DRIVER HAS NO CONTROL DUE TO DEFECT. CHEVY MECHANICS BELIEVE MIGHT BE STEERING SYSTEM SUCH AS IGNITION AND LOCKING ELEMENTS, DUE TO GRINDING NOISE BEFORE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND OTHER PARTS LOCK UP, CHEVY TECHS THOUGHT MIGHT BE RACE AND PINION, MIGHT BE ELECTRICAL, MIGHT BE WHATEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINE THIS CRITICAL SAFETY DEFECT IN TRUCK. CHEVY TECHS HAVE COMMENTED THEY ARE SKEPTICAL ABOUT LETTING ANYONE DRIVE UNTIL RESOLVED. INVESTMENT HUGH WITH LOSS OF USE AND FINDING OTHER TRANSPORTATION. WHY OWN IT. GM NEEDS TO REIMBURSE COST AND REPLACE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY. ALL ASPECTS OF NON FUNCTIONING PARTS DON'T GENERATE ERROR CODES, AND THIS INCIDENT HAS REOCCURRED OVER EIGHT TIMES IN FIVE DAYS. THIS REQUIRES ACTION BY GM, WHERE IS IT. LOANER VEHICLE NOT SUFFICIENT REPLACEMENT FOR INVESTMENT. SAFETY ISSUE COMMENCED ON MARCH 16, TOWED MULTIPLE TIMES, BEEN TO TWO DEALERS, INITIAL MORE THAN 200 MILES FROM HOME, AND CURRENT DEALER WHERE PURCHASED WITH 25 MILES OF HOME.
