2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 complaints

LOOSE STEERING, OR JUST SLOPPY STEERING. SEVERAL INCHES EACH DIRECTION WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. LIKE DRIVING A FIFTIES MODEL CAR. MY 2012 MODEL THE STEERING WOULD COMPLETELY GO OUT, THIS ONE KEEPS GETTING LOOSE. SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. GOING BACK INTO THE SHOP. SECOND ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. ALSO THIS HIGH DOLLAR TRUCK HAS A SOUND SYSTEM THAT ON AM RADIO SOUNDS LIKE THE SPEAKERS ARE BUSTED.

JUST NOTICED THERE WAS PLAY IN THE STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN MOVE 2-3 INCHES WITHOUT RESPONSE. THIS CAUSES OVER CORRECTION WHEN DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRACK OUT OF ITS LANE. TRUCK HAS 11,0000 MILES.

THE STEERING IS SLOPPY. HAVE ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES OF PLAY IN IT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING IS GETTING LOOSER AND LOOSER WHEN DRIVING WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES ON TRUCK. ALSO STEERING GEAR BOX LEAKING AND DEALER SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND CHARGED ME.

I PURCHASED A HEAVY LARGE STEEL CABINET WHICH WAS LOADED ONTO MY PICKUP TRUCK. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME, I WAS GOING TO LIFT THE CABINET OFF OF MY TRUCK WITH A JOHN DEERE LOADER. I PARKED MY TRUCK ON MY LAWN. I THEN DROVE THE LOADER UP TO THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I RAISED THE BUCKET OF THE LOADER OVER THE CABINET AND CONNECTED IT TO THE CABINET WITH A CHAIN. I RAISED THE BUCKET UP UNTIL THE CABINET WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES OFF THE TRUCK BED. I GOT OFF THE LOADER AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK FORWARD OUT FROM UNDER THE CABINET. I STARTED TO PULL FORWARD SLOWLY WHEN I NOTICED THE BACK OF THE CABINET SEEM TO TILT SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD. I WAS CONCERNED THE WHEEL ON THE CABINET WOULD GET CAUGHT BETWEEN THE SPACE OF THE BED AND THE TAILGATE. I DECIDED TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AND RAISE THE BUCKET A FEW MORE INCHES HIGHER. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK ( THE PARK DASH LIGHT CAME ON) AND I GOT OUT. I WALKED TOWARD THE LOADER CAB. WHEN I WAS HALFWAY THERE, THE PICKUP TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARD, HITTING THE CABINET WHICH WAS SUSPENDED FROM THE LOADER STOPPING THE TRUCK. THAT CAUSED THE CABINET TO STRIKE THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BED, PUSHING IT INTO THE CAB, BREAKING THE BACK WINDOW AND DENTING THE CAB ROOF. THERE WAS OVER $9000.00 DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. I HAD A $2000.00 INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN I MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BETWEEN THE " REVERSE " AND " PARK" DETENTS, THERE IS A FLAT SPOT WHERE THE SHIFT LEVER CAN STAY AND A LIGHT WILL INDICATE EITHER "R" OR "P

ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THERE BECAME BETWEEN 3 AND 31/2 INCHES OF SLACK IN THE STEERING. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DARTED TO THE SIDE. COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A COLLISION. THE PRIVATE MECHANIC I SPOKE WITH OVER THE PHONE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AS DID THE DEALERSHIP WE SPOKE WITH. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SUDDEN SLACK IN THE STEERING BOX. COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION! ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS HAVE NO SLACK EXCEPT THE STEERING BOX.

I HAVE AUTO DOOR LOCKS, BUT NO MANUAL UNLOCKS. IF THERE IS A POWER LOSS OR FRONT END ACCIDENT AND BATTERY IS DAMAGED YOU CANNOT UNLOCK DOORS FROM INSIDE VEHICLE TO GET OUT. SEEMS LIKE A HAZARD AS THE DOOR BUTTONS ARE ALSO DOWN INSIDE THERE HOLE AND YOU CANNOT PULL THEM EITHER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ~65 MPH, THE STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME VERY LOOSE. HAD ABOUT 4 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL BEFORE THE TIRES WOULD TURN. VERY HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE IN LANE.

LOCK SYSTEM FAILURE- CHILD'S FINGER CAUGHT IN DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. WE WERE PREPARING TO GO TO SCHOOL. BOTH FRONT DOORS WERE OPEN, MY DAUGHTER WAS PLACING HER BACKPACK IN FRONT FLOORBOARD FOR SCHOOL. WHILE DOING SO, I REACHED IN AND STARTED THE TRUCK. THE LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED. SHE PUSHED THE FRT PASSENGER DOOR TO, BUT CAUGHT THE FISRT JOINT OF HER THUMB IN THE DOOR JAMB. THE DOOR REMAINED IN THE HALF LATCHED POSITION. EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE FROM THE INSIDE, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE LOCK TO PHYSICALLY DISENGAGE AND ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN TO FREE HER FINGER. THE ENTIRE TIME SHE WAS SCREAMING, AND OUT OF DESPERATION SHE YANKED HER THUMB OUT. HER ENTIRE THUMB IS SWOLLEN, AND BLACK AND BLUE ON THE END. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THIS LOCKING FEATURE ON THE TRUCK- IT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME CONSIDER RETURNING THE VEHICLE- AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 6 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW IN MARCH 2016 FROM FRANKLIN, TN. IT WAS A SERVICE LOANER WITH 4700 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME.

'STEERING EXTREMELY LOOSE; STEERING BOX LEAKING FLUID. STEERING WORSENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT ON ROAD DUE TO EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL.

EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY MOST NOTABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH

2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRAILER TOWING MIRRORS VISIBILITY ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MIRRORS SIT 6 TO 8 INCHES TOO HIGH, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF CRITICAL AREAS TO THE SIDES AND AHEAD ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE MIRRORS ALSO INTERFERE WITH THE VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS AND PEDESTRIANS. THE THICK POSTS BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DOORS EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 08/28/2017*JS

EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL PLAY OR (LASH). WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 3 INCHES PAST CENTER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE TRUCK HAS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR LANE BECAUSE OF CHANGING ROAD GRADES AND CROWNS. ALSO THE TRUCK DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR UNTIL THE 15,000 MILE MARK. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE. GM HAS RELEASED TSB DOCUMENTS (PIT5501F) DEALING WITH IT, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A 3/4 TON TRUCK WITH UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING!!!!!

OVER A PERIOD OF APROX 600 MILES/3DAYS, THE STEERING HAS GONE FROM NEAR 0 SLACK/PLAY TO WELL OVER 1 1/2 INCHES OF PLAY RESULTING ERRATIC STEERING RESPONSE WHICH, WHEN ON NARROW HIGHWAYS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN YOUR LANE. SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAD CLOSE CALLS BOTH WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC AND WITH RUNNING OFF ROAD. IS OBVIOUS MOST PROBLEMATIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS

MY VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT VARYING SPEED BUT MOSTLY BETWEEN 60 AND 75MPH. I HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TIRES REPLACED TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE VEHICLE WITH SENSORS AND CAN NOT ISOLATE THE VIBRATION. I HAVE ONLY HAD VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AND QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I WISH I HAD RESEARCHED THE TRUCK ON THE INTERNET PRIOR TO PURCHASE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS KNOWN AND HAS A NAME "THE CHEVY SHAKE" I HOPE OTHERS WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT THESE CONCERNS BECAUSE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITHOUT THE RUNAROUND CUSTOMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO ENDURE. THE VEHICLE ISSUE NEEDS A RECALL.

THERE IS NO PASSENGER SEATBELT REMINDER.

VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT CAN EASY OVER DRIVE HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS WERE THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS ABOVE START TO LOOSE GOOD VISION AT 50 TO 75 FEET IN FRONT OF TRUCK THIS IS VERY BAD HEADLIGHTS THESE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALOUD TO BE PUT ON THE ROAD SOMEBODY GOING TO HURT WITH THESE LIGHTS AND NOBODY IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT I ONLY HOPE THAT GM STEPS UP OR FED STEP UP AND MAKE GM MAKE THIS RIGHT BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT.FAR TO OFTEN PEOPLE HALF PAY THE PRICE BEFORE THINGS ARE DONE ABOUT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM.THEY FIXED THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 1500 TRUCKS SO THEY KNOW THEY HAVE THE PROBLEM ON 2500 AND 3500 TRUCKS. THANK YOUR NUMBER ONE TAXPAYER

VEHICLE SHAKES OR VIBRATES AT MOST SPEEDS. THE VIBRATION IS WORST AT 25-45 AND 65MPH+. IT CAUSES DRIVER FATIGUE AND NAUSEA. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROAD FORCED BALANCED BY DEALER AND DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED IN ATTEMPTS TO FIX PROBLEM. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND BY DEALER. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THE VIBRATIONS AND SAYS THE VIBRATION IS NORMAL OPERATION FOR THIS VEHICLE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY NARROW AND DIM. IN RURAL AREAS WHERE THERE IS LITTLE AMBIENT LIGHT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DEER IN THE DITCHES, AND CURVES IN THE ROAD ARE WORSE BECAUSE THE NARROW BEAM DOESN'T PROJECT TO THE SIDE AT ALL. THE DEALER CHECKED THE HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT BUT NOT THE LUMEN OUTPUT OF THE LOW BEAM. GM WAS NO HELP AT ALL. THE WAY IT IS NOW IS NOT SAFE AND AN INCREASE CHANCE OF AUTO AND ANIMAL ACCIDENTS.

AT 7500 MILES MY TRUCKS STEERING BECAME REALLY LOOSE. COULD MOVE 2 TO 3 INCHES WITH OUT ANY WHEEL MOVEMENT. WHICH CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS, BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE VERY POOR FOR A 2016 VEHICLE. THE LIGHT THEY PROJECT ONTO THE ROADWAY WILL WASHOUT IN A WET OR DARK ROAD AND IN MY OPINION NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE.

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY AUDIO SYSTEM IN THE 2016 SILVERADO 2500 HIGH COUNTRY TRUCK. THE AUDIO SEEMS TO GO IN AND OUT OF STEREO SOUND AND ALSO SSEMS TO BE CHANGING ITS EQUALIZATION PERIODICALLY. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AND RHYME OR REASON WHEN THIS HAPPENS; DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP, OR STOP SUDDENLY, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THE SOUND SYSTEM WILL JUST RANDOMLY CUT IN AND OUT IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE. IT IS MILDLY ANNOYING AND IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THIS COULD BE I'D APPRECIATE THE HEAD'S UP. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE AND I ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT WHICH OR COURSE, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I KNOW I'M WHINING BUT WHEN YOU SPEND $51K FOR A VEHICLE YOU WANT EVERYTHING TO WORK ON IT, RIGHT!

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IN 6TH GEAR AT 65 MPH, I APPROACHED A HILL AND I CHANGED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO THE MANUAL POSITION AND TO MY SURPRISE IT WENT INTO 4TH GEAR, RACING THE RPMS UP TO 3500 AND TRIED TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN QUICKER THAN I WANTED. THE BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THIS IS SLIPPERY SNOW COVERED ROADS, YOUR APT TO LOSE CONTROL. WHEN YOU DOWN SHIFT TO MANUAL IT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE GEAR YOUR IN,AND YOU PUSH A BUTTON AT YOUR DESCRETION AS NEEDED TO A LOWER GEAR. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THATS THE WAY IT IS,BUT THEY WERE SURPRISED IT DID THAT AS WELL. I FEEL ITS NOT SAFE IT
