2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

WHILE IN MOTION IN CITY AT INTERSECTION, STOPPED FOR LIGHT, PROCEEDED FORWARD BUT STEERING LOCKED, BRAKES, AND IGNITION SWITCH INACTIVE, A GRINDING CLICKING NOISE HEARD JUST AS BEGAN ACCELERATING BEFORE SAFETY FAILURE. TRUCK TOWED TO A DEALER, UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE, RELEASED TRUCK, PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN IN THREE DAYS CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE TOWED AGAIN. MECHANIC UNSURE, NO ERRORS CODES, HOWEVER SOUNDED SIMILAR TO EARLY RECALL BY GM FOR IGNITION SWITCH TORQUE PROBLEMS, BUT NOISE COULD BE PER MECHANIC SOMETHING IN RACK AND PINION OR ROTARY VENE PUMP. DEALER NOT COMMITTING AND SUGGEST TO DRIVE. SAFETY FOR LIVES IS CONCERN IN THIS MATTER WITH LACK OF ELECTRICAL, STEERING, BRAKES, AND IGNITION CONTROL BY DRIVER.

OUR SILVERADO HAS A BAD VIBRATION,MOSTLY NOTICABLE AROUND 70MPH . GM DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT WAS TIRE BALANCE ISSUE,WHICH HAS HAD 2 NEW SETS OF TIRES PUT ON IT,AND THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. GM NOW WILL NO LONGER SERVICE THE TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE,CLAIMING THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. YET THE PROBLEM IS EVIDENT AND REMAINS UNFIXED...SAME PROBLEM AS ON 2014 AND UP SUVS AND PICKUPS.

THE TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION ISSUE THAT MY CHEVY DEALER CAN NOT CORRECT. TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. THEY INSTALLED 4 NEW TIRES AND RIMS AND STILL HAVE THE VIBRATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DEFROSTER WOULD NOT MELT THE ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES OF WAITING FOR THE ICE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE CONTACT HAD TO REMOVE THE ICE MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,790.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A LOUD WINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,660.

STEERING STIFF IN COLD AND NEVER GETS BETTER AFTER VEHICLE WARMS UP. ANYTIME BELOW 5 DEGREES F. I HAVE HAD IT IN AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WHOLE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM WITH NO HELP TO THE ISSUE. I HAVE READ OTHER FORUMS WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. AT SLOW SPEEDS REQUIRES TWO HANDS TO TURN VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS IF IN A PANIC SITUATION. DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. I LIVE IN MN AND HAVE HAD OTHER GM PICKUPS (1999,2010,2013) WITH NO SUCH ISSUES IN THE COLD WEATHER. *TR

STEADY DRIVING BETWEEN 35 AND 65 MPH, THE TRUCK SHUDDERS AND THE RPM TACH NEEDLE JUMPS. IT DOES NOT DO IT WHILE SHIFTING BUT WHEN RUNNING AT A STEADY SPEED. MY 4TH TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE ONLY FOCUSED ON THE VIBRATION OF THE TRUCK AND ARE NOW REPLACING THE THIRD TIRE. I AGREE THE VIBRATION IS BAD BUT THE SHUDDERING IS RIDICULOUS. THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR THE SILVERADO WITH THE 6.2 TRANSMISSION WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. I CALLED THE SERVICE TECH WHO HAS MY TRUCK AND HE SAID "YOUR TRUCK DOESN'T HAVE THAT TRANSMISSION." I SAID "I REALIZE THAT RICH...HOWEVER IT IS THE SAME ISSUE." HE SAID AS SOON AS THEY GET THE NEW TIRE IN THEY ARE GOING TO TEST DRIVE IT SOME MORE. DID I MENTION THEY HAVE HAD IT FIVE DAYS THIS TIME AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A TIRE. ALSO...ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN #PIP5337D, THE SHUDDER IS TORQUE CONVERTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN THE EVENING, A DEER SUDDENLY RAN ACROSS THE ROAD. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER STRUCK THE DEER. SUDDENLY, THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH SMOKE, BUT THERE WERE NO FLAMES. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. ONE INJURY WAS SUSTAINED, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS RESTARTED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING ILLUMINATED AND "SERVICE AIR BAG" WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND THEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,398. .....UPDATED 03/08/17 *BF *CN

THE DEFROST FUNCTION DOES NOT PREVENT ICE BULID UP ON WINDSHIELD AND BLOCKS DRIVER VISION. CLEARS PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WELL ENOUGH. BUT WITH DEFROST FAN SPEED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND THE HEAT TEMPERATURE AS HIGH AS I COULD STAND IT, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATING, WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT ICE BUILD UP AND BLOCKING DRIVERS VISION. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NEVER HAD A VEHICEL THAT HAD SUCH WEIRD ICE BUILD UP PATTERN.

ISSUE 1 - TRANSMISSION: THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS A 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT CLUNKS / HARD SHIFTS (VERY HARD). GM INDICATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND/OR THE TRANSMISSION IS ADAPTING TO YOUR DRIVING STYLE. THE CLUNK IS VERY DISTRACTION (STARTLING) WHEN DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO HESITATES IN SELECTING GEARS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. ON TWO OCCASION, I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ON TO THE INTERSTATE AND THE DELAYED TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT ALMOST RESULTED IN A COLLISION. ISSUE 2 - ENGINE: THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS AN ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT THAT DROPS THE TRUCK DOWN TO 4 CYLINDERS. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE ENTIRE TRUCK WILL VIBRATE / REVERBERATE CAUSING HEADACHES. GOOGLE "CHEVY SHAKES". *TR

PASSENGER RIGHT FRONT VENT DOESN'T BLOW VERY MUCH AIR AT ALL TIMES... IT HAS NEVER BLOWED AS MUCH AIR AS THE OTHER VENTS.

THERE IS A ABNORMAL VIBRATION FELT FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 70 MPH.

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN AUGUST 2016. I NOTICED A VIBRATION FROM 70-80 MPH. VERY NOTICEABLE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND MORE RECENTLY IN THE DRIVER SEAT. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. THEY PICOSCOPED (SERVICE TOOL) TO ISOLATE THE VIBRATION. PERFORMED LOTS OF BALANCING, NEW TIRES, DRIVE SHAFT, DIFFERENTIAL (RING & PINION). VIBRATION MORE NOTICEABLE THAN EVER. BUT THEY CLAIM IT'S WITHIN SPEC. THEY HAVE A FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER MEETING MY CAR AT THE DEALER ON WEDNESDAY 11/09/2016, BUT THE DEALER IS ALREADY SETTING ME UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT. THIS PROMPTED ME TO SEARCH ON LINE TODAY WHERE I FOUND "CHEVY SHAKES". THE STORIES MATCH MY EXPERIENCE COMPLETELY. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY TRUCK UNTIL I HIT 75, THEN I BECOME SO INFURIATED THAT MY $50K TRUCK WITH 2,700 MILES APPARENTLY ISN'T GOING TO BE FIXABLE FROM WHAT I'VE READ. I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL A POTENTIAL BUYER IF FOR SOME REASON I HAD TO SELL IT. IT CLEARLY HAS A PROBLEM. IF I'M TOLD IT CAN'T BE FIXED, I WILL DEMAND MY MONEY BACK. I'M AT 75 EVERY DAY, AND THE VIBRATION ISN'T ONLY ANNOYING, BUT IT NUMBS YOUR HANDS FROM THE SHAKING.

VEHICLE SHAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. THE SHAKE IS IN THE VEHICLE AND NOT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. TIRES HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 1,200 MILES ON IT AND PROBLEM HAS BEEN APPARENT FROM INITIAL PURCHASE. VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS IN TOTAL.

I PURCHASED A NEW, 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A VIBRATION RELATED PROBLEM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN MY TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE VEHICLE ON THIS SITE. AFTER DAYS OF FRUSTRATION WITH GM AND CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY, I CAME ACROSS ATTIRE RECALL FOR THE EXACT TIRE ON MY TRUCK GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A HIGH SPEED VIBRATION. THE DEALER HAS COMPLETED A ROAD FORCE BALANCE THAT THEY SAY MEETS GM SPECS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER SAYS HE TOO CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION, BUT HAS NO AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED. IT HAS BEEN A DOG AND PONY DANCE FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX MY ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EXACT TIRES ON MY TRUCK FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT MY TIRES DO NOT FALL IN THE LOT OF TIRES RECALLED. I BELIEVE THERE IS STILL A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN MY TIRES! THE RECALL NOTICE IS AS FOLLOWS:NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16T016000 . I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH CONTINENTAL. I HAVE VISITED DISCOUNT TIRE STORE IN WOODSTOCK GA. THEY ARE AN AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR FOR CONTINENTAL. CONTINENTAL EXPECTS ME TO PAY FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES AND WAIT OR THEIR ANALYSIS TO DECIDE IF I WILL BE REIMBURSED. MEANWHILE, GM IS DOING NOTHING AS OF YET EXCEPT STALLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. THE DISCOUNT TIRE STORE MANAGER SAID HE HAD ANOTHER SILVERADO CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME TIRE AND COMPLAINT COME IN A WEEK

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY NEW 2016 SILVERADO AND A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED WITH AROUND 340 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNTIL I HAD 1000 MILES ON THE TRUCK (THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT GET PAID BY CHEVY FOR WARRANTY ITEMS). THAT TICKET STATED THEY REBALANCED MY TIRES. THIS HAD NO CHANGE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AFTER 1000 MILES. THE DEALER DID A ROAD FORCE BALANCE. THIS HELPED VERY LITTLE. NOW, AT 1345 MILES, IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP. THEY STATE THEY WILL DO A PICOSCOPE ON THE TRUCK AND CHECK THE AXLE. I SHOULD MENTION THE UNDERLYING ISSUE IS A VIBRATION THAT CAN BE FELT AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 65-70MPH. IT IS MORE PREVALENT FROM 70-75MPH. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM, REFERENCE CASE 82405350103. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2014-2015 MODELS REFERRED TO AS THE "CHEVY SHAKE". ONE MORE ATTEMPT AND I WILL LIKELY START LEMON LAW PROCEDURES IN GA. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATE GM ON THIS COMPLAINT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORUMS WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE IF IT IS TIRE OR WHEEL RELATED, OR EVEN DRIVE SHAFT RELATED. *TR

2800 MILEAGE SINCE NEW BECAUSE I HAVE PROBLEMS FUELING THE TANK. I CANNOT GET FUEL TO PUMP INTO THE TANK CORRECTLY. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS THINKING IT WAS A GAS PUMP ISSUE. THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW FAST YOU TRY TO FILL THE TANK OR HOW DEEP THE NOZZLE IS INSERTED INTO THE TUBE. I HAD A CHEVROLET SERVICE PERSON AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TRY TO FILL THE TANK TO VERIFY MY ISSUE. HE NOTICED THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED FOR A "TSB" AND THERE IS ONE DETAILING A REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THEY WOULD CALL AFTER GETTING IN THE PART IN 3 DAYS. THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. I CALLED BACK AFTER A WEEK BECAUSE THEY NEVER RETURNED MY COMPLAINT ISSUE. SHE STATED THAT THEY CANNOT GET THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM FROM GM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT A RECALL. I MUST FILL MY TANK WITH A GAS CAN TO GET IT TO TAKE ANY GAS. A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE AND FUEL SPILLAGE. I LIKE THE TRUCK. I JUST CAN'T FUEL IT WITH A GAS PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

I HAD TWO EPISODES OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY. TRUCK IS WEEKS OLD- 1500MILES ONLY. BRAKES STILL WORKED SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP. RPMS CONTINUED TO ESCALATE IN NEUTRAL AND PARK. HAD TO TURN OFF ENGINE QUICKLY TO ABORT THE PROBLEM. I'M TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR EVALUATION TOMORROW. MY WIFE AND TWO OLDEST SONS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS TOO DIM, CANNOT SEE ROAD SAFELY ,ALMOST HIT PEDESTRIANS IN THE RAIN ,NO LIGHT TO SIDE WHEN TURNING ,VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT WITH HIGH BEAMS ON AND NO ONE NOTICES, VERY DANGEROUS

THE ISSUE(S) THAT I AM EXPERIENCING ALL APPEAR TO BE WITH THE TRUCKS 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TWO OCCUR DURING BREAKING AND THE THIRD HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A 'COLD' START. A DESCRIPTION OF EACH OF THE THREE MAJOR ISSUES ARE OUTLINED BELOW: 1)DURING INITIAL BREAKING THE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AS INTENDED AND WITHOUT WARNING IT ABRUPTLY ACCELERATES/SLIDES FORWARD (SEE BREAKING PROFILES). THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. 2)DURING BREAKING JUST BEFORE COMING TO A STOP I EXPERIENCE A HARD JERK OR SHUDDER (SEE BREAKING PROFILES). 3)DURING A 'COLD' START, IN THE MORNING OR AFTER WORK, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SOMETIMES SLIP AND SHIFT HARD WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY/PARKING LOT. THE ISSUES ARE ALL INTERMITTENT.

MY TRUCK SHAKES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 68-75 MPH, THE TRUCK IS ONE MONTH OLD AND HAS 800 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER EVERY WEEK FOR THE MONTH THAT I HAVE OWNED IT TIRES & WHEELS HAVE BEEN CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE SAME & ALSO BY AN INDEPENDENT TIRE SHOP AT MY OWN COST, AS OF THIS DATE MY VEHICLE STILL SHAKES, GM HAS ADMITTED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS TIME, SO NO RECALL IS WARRANTED, THE DEALER HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME & THEY ARE WILLING TO BUY MY VEHICLE BACK AT FULL VALUE OR TRADE, THIS VEHICLE WAS VERY EXPENSIVE & GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT KEEPS SELLING THEM ANY WAY TO UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF IN MY OPINION THIS IS JUST GREED & LACK OF CARING FOR LOYAL CUSTOMERS THAT KEEP GM IN BUSINESS. "REMEMBER THE BAILOUT"

NO FAILURE, JUST POOR PERFORMANCE. GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 ON A 2016 SILVERADO. TIRES WERE SO OUT OF BALANCE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE SHOP HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL TIRES AS THEY COULD NOT BE BALANCED. DEFECTIVE TIRES!

ELECTRIC STEERING FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A LONG TRIP, WHEN NEW. THE STEERING, WHEN OUT, WAS VERY HARD TO STEER BUT DID NOT LOCK UP OR CAUSE ANY SUDDEN TRUCK MOVEMENTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC STEERING ON THE NEW TRUCK. NO MORE ISSUES AFTERWARDS.

NEW TRUCK PURCHASED AUG 12, 2016 HAS A BAD VIBRATION AND SHAKING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND ABOVE. THE DEALER BALANCED THE TIRES ON AUG 20TH BUT THE VIBRATION WAS STILL THERE ON THE WAY HOME. ON AUG 21RST THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING IN THE REAR END AND A LOT OF VIBRATION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID A TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BROKEN BELT. I RECEIVED NO SERVICE TICKET OR DOCUMENTATION FOR EITHER OF THE REPAIRS. WHEN I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, THE REP SAID THAT THE DEALER HAD NO REPAIR TICKET LISTED FOR MY TRUCK. MY WIFE AND I FEEL THE TRUCK WILL NOT BE SAFE OR RELIABLE.

MY TRUCK CAME WITH AN OPTIONAL $770.00 TRAILERING PACKAGE INCLUDING AUTO LOCKING 3.42 RATIO REAR END, 5.3 LITRE V-8. THE SALES PITCH IS I CAN NOW TOW 9800 POUNDS. THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE NO TRAILER BRAKES! SO HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO STOP WHEN I'M TOWING 9800 LBS? I CONTACTED GM AND THEY GAVE ME A CLAIM # 8-2253662923 AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HEAR FROM THEM WITHIN 48 HOURS, 4 DAYS LATER I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT A SUPERVISOR NEEDED TO TALK TO ME, SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER ND SOMEONE WILL GET BACK TO ME, THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. I THINK THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION, THIS WILL KILL PEOPLE! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THE STEEL CABLES THAT HOLD THE TAIL GATE IN THE DOWN POSITION ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS. THE LEFT OR DRIVER SIDE CABLE IS THE ONLY CABLE THAT HAS TENSION ON IT IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE TAIL GATE IS ONLY ON ONE CABLE THAT COULD CAUSE FAILURE OF THE CABLE DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND COULD CAUSE THE TAIL GATE TO TORQUE AND BE DAMAGED. THE SLACK ON THE RIGHT OR PASSENGER SIDE CABLE HAS ABOUT A 6 INCH PLAY IN IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GM. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM STATED THAT WAS THE WAY THE CABLES WERE ENGINEERED. I OWNED A 2002 GMC SIERRA PREVIOUSLY AND BOTH CABLES ON THE TAIL GATE WERE THE SAME LENGTH, WHICH DISTRIBUTED WEIGHT EVENLY. I LOOKED AT OTHER 2016 SILVERADO MODELS AND MOST HAD EXCESSIVE SLACK ON THE RIGHT TAIL GATE CABLE AS MINE, BUT SOME DIDN'T. THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE INJURY IF WEIGHT IS ON THE CABLE AND COULD DAMAGE THE TAIL GATE ITSELF.

I WAS LEAVING MY HOME MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AS I WAS COMING UP TO THE 35 MPH SPEED LIMIT THERE WAS A BEEP AND THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO TURN. A MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ADVISING TO GET POWER STEERING SERVICED.I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS TWO MILES AWAY. WAS ADVISED THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP WENT BAD. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 3,200 MILES AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE APRIL 29, 2016. CHEVROLET NOTIFIED. VEHICLE IS AT STEVENSON CHEVROLET, SWANSBORO, NC 28584. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS.

THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE DRIVER HAD TO BRAKE FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC AHEAD. WITHOUT REASON BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSED THE DRIVER TO VEER OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ONTO THE FRONTAGE RD.THERE WAS NO IMPACT WITH ANYTHING PRIOR TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO IMPACT AFTER DEPLOYMENT EITHER. THE DRIVER STATED THAT HE WAS HURT BY THE AIRBAGS. I RENDERED AID TO THIS DRIVER AND COMPLETED A INCIDENT REPORT. COLORADO STATE PATROL CASE # 3C161461

TREAD SEPARATION ON BRIDGESTONE TIRES DURING NORMAL OPERATION, TRAVELLING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED. TIRES WERE FACTORY INSTALLED AND AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT HAD APPROXIMATELY 9,500 MILES ON THEM. TIRE, FORTUNATELY, DID NOT DEFLATE BUT A LARGE SECTION OF THE TREAD SEPARATED AND RELEASED FROM THE TIRE. VEHICLE IS OWNED BY AVIS.

I HAVE WHAT HAS BEEN DEEMED "THE CHEVY SHAKE". TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND BALANCED. BUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 70 MPH AND ABOVE THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION IN THE TRUCK. I JUST READ A REPORT DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM IN THE '14 & '15 MODELS BUT GM HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM YET IN '16.

THE SINGLE BULB FOR HIGH /LOW BEAM HID FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM IT'S HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CANNOT USE AT NIGHT PAID TOO MUCH MONEY.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER IT'S A 2016 SILVERADO 1500 IT HAS A VIBRATION THAT COMES FROM THE FLOORBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SEAT STARTS ABOUT 60 65 MILES AND IT UP TO ABOUT 70 72 73 SOMEWHEAROUND THAT AREA NUTRA BALANCE IS NOW THE SECOND TIME AROUND THEY TRIED ROAD FORCE BALANCING WORKED FOR ABOUT 30 MILES VIBRATION BACK.

I BOUGHT A 2016 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LTZ Z71 AND IT VIBRATES AT IDLE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I HAD ALREADY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIX, BUT NO LUCK. GM TOLD ME THAT IS HOW THE TRUCK IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO HELP FROM GM TO HELP ME RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN AN OPTION TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW ONE AT MY OWN EXPENSES OR DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. FORD WOULD NOT TAKE MY TRUCK AS A TRADE IN NOR WILL GMC. THIS VEHICLE CAN POTENTIALLY BY DANGEROUS AND A LIABILITY AS THE TRANSMISSION SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN AND THE CONSTANT VIBRATION CANNOT POSSIBLY HE GOOD FOR ANYONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 308.

A CONDITION EXISTS WHERE, AFTER THE DRIVER HAS USED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THEN HAS REMOVED THEIR FOOT FROM THE PEDAL, THEN PRESSES THE CRUISE "SET" BUTTON A BRIEF MOMENT LATER, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTS TO DECELERATE BY REPEATEDLY PRESSING MINUS "-" ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, THAT THE SPEED CONTROL BECOMES CONFUSED AND DISPLAYS MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SPEEDS, WHILE MAINTAINING THE ORIGINAL SPEED, EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER BELIEVES THEY ARE DECELERATING. THIS CAN BE REPRODUCED ON ANY 2016 SILVERADO MODEL BY FOLLOWING THESE STEPS: THROTTLE UP AND ACCELERATE (TO PASS, FOR EXAMPLE), REMOVE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR, THEN IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE "SET" BUTTON, FOLLOWED BY 5-10 PRESSES ON THE DECELERATE "-" BUTTON; THE SPEED WILL SET AT 65, FOR EXAMPLE, THEN FLIP BETWEEN 64, 65, 63, 65, 62, 65, 61, 65, 60, 65, AND SO ON, MAINTAINING SPEED AT 65 EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER IS INSTRUCTING THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. IT MAY TAKE 5-10 SECONDS FOR THE SPEED CONTROL TO CLEAR ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO MAKE CHANGES, HOWEVER THEY WILL STILL BE CRUISING AT 65. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE DRIVER DOES NOT REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NOT DECELERATING AT WHICH POINT THEY MAY TAP THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE CRUISE, BUT HAVE LOST 5-10 SECONDS OF TIME. THIS HAS PRESENTED A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHERE THE DRIVER BELIEVES THEY'RE DECELERATING WHEN TOO QUICKLY APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE, RISKING COLLISION.
