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,
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
I am writing in concern to a brake pump malfunction and air bag sensor failure. The vehicle is available for inspection and has been inspected/confirmed by dealerships. The brake pump is bad and falls under the recall by gm but because it was over the mileage threshold, it didnā€™t qualify. The brakes donā€™t work well at all. The air bag sensor in the passenger seat went bad and now shut off all my airbags and gm wonā€™t add my vehicle to the recalls they have already issued on other vehicles for the same issues. My safety is at risk with my lack of air bags for us. Othersā€™ safety is risk due to the bad brake pump that i cannot guarantee will continue working, especially upon an immediate need to brake in any emergency situation. I have contact the manufacturer 2 separate times and they refuse to include my vehicle in their safety recalls. This is a serious matter. Someone could get hurt or worse. I had no warnings or indications that these were issues until they became one. I had to get quotes of $1200 to get these two issues resolved and donā€™t understand how this is a known problem but they refuse to help me in any way. Iā€™m not asking for a replacement truck or engine. Just functioning safety features!!! the truck is only 5 years old.

The truck was traveling on the interstate and the driver had to brake for heavy traffic ahead. Without reasonboth 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.

I felt under drivers seat, touched some wires, light no longer on. Now 42k miles light back on. Of course it was out of warranty, past the 36 month period. Gm must be aware of this issue. Light came on as soon as i start the truck.light stays on.

Involved in recall 16007 dealer stated to leave it for 2 weeks to repair on 11/10/2014.gm claim #849421 file sdm file downloaded and locked by esis phillip nottingham on 12/1/2016.
I have taken my vehicle to the dealership three times because my airbag light kept turning on. Supposedly it was fixed but now the airbag light is on again and i have a message on my screen that says" service air bag"! it is frustrating to have to pay so much money for a new vehicle and to have such problems at such an early stage of the vehicles regular maintenance.

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
Pulled into the parking lot at work at low speed when applying the brake to backup i noticed the brake pedal was very hard.i put my truck in reverse to back into a parkingspot, the brake was very hard and wouldn't stop. When hit the fence the truck finally stopped. Called the dearler where i got the truck, they said there's a recall and the brake system needed to be reprogrammed but that wasn't going to fix it. 2019 i took the truck in @ 60,000 miles, they did a reprogram and said they couldn't do any thing else unless there was another brake recall. The bad thing about this whole brake problem is gm knows what the problem is and won't fix it. Gm has and will fix the problem if you pay 12 to 1,600 dollars. Since they did the reprogram i have 80, 000 miles on the truck and at low speed at a traffic light or in parking lots the brake is very hard and the abs system will activate. Same problem different day. I need new bombers now. I guess gm is waiting for someone to get hurt.
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 than happy to take them for a ride to show them. For when this happened. It started in 2nd week of july to present. It only had around 300 miles when it started.
The radio fail to provide audio warning when the key has been left in the ignition and the door is open-door when the driver does not fasten their seat belt ,driver is at greater risk of injury in a crash.driver can't hear when the turn signal and radio when dead .
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.
As i was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the ac blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as i was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when i backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 silverado used in 2018 with 24k miles on it. The odometer just turned 50k two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service.i began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so i thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since i am out of warranty i have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly gm is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! i can not believe that gm knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? i also noted that the previous owner, right before i bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by gm and dealer when i bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now i can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!
When driving, if i do something electrical, like applying the brakes or using my turn signal, the entire car electrical system shuts off for a second and sometimes jerks the steering wheel out of my hand.it usually restarts immediately on its own while driving. I've had it also while parked with just the radio on, that everything just died. Then it took a few tries before the truck engine turned over to try starting it
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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle at various speeds, the parking assist display would erroniously activate along with an audible chime. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500.
Makiing a turn the steering locked and engine died 2 times and yesterday while diving on the freeway at 70 miles per hour it diedand managed to pull off the road. First time we allmost got hit by an other car . Im very, very concern . Truck has 19k miles
Horn will not sound when depressing steering wheel horn button. The horn will sound when using key fob to lock the doors.this happens when the vehicle is moving and at a stop.
While driving at a slow speed, approximately 10 mph preparing to come to a stop on a little used street, the vehicle instantly died. There was no power and no warning at all. All electrical power was gone and the engine was completely off.the instrumentation panel completely lost all power at the same time the engine turned off completely. I turned the ignition off, placed it in park, turned the ignition on and had no power. Turned it off again, then back on. The instrumentation panel lit up, gauges went haywire then the display read *open then close driver side window*. I did that, then the vehicle started back up again and has driven normally since. If that were to happen in heavy traffic at high speed, the obvious could occur.
Erratic steering and slow speed?s jerky car dies ground problem
While setting in a drive thru my steering wheel will jerk back and fourth and then my truck will die. I get several different messages on my dash stability track needs service, window needs rolled down then up, or trailer assist. This has happened multiple times.
The vehicle completely loses power for a split second. After this incident happens, the display says lower then raise the driver side window all the way. The ambient temp reading goes to 32 and displays warning possible freezing conditions. The problem seems to be coming from a bad ground cable.
Steering will jerk back and forth very sharply and dash information center goes blank when turning into parking spots. This has happened at speed with a/c and radio going blank.
I was attempting to open the door to remove my child, the door would not open.i then began to problem solve the issue and realized the rear passenger door does not lock with key fob or unlock manually or with key fob. The door will lock manually but i can not open the door from inside manually, it will not unlock from the drivers side control unlock, or with the key fob. This is a very serious safety concern, if there was an emergency passengers or driver could not exit through that door.
2016 chevrolet silverado lt crew cab standard box a/c condenser (gm part number 84802253) cracked at weld and failed at approximately 63,000 miles, resulting in refrigerant leaking to atmosphere and loss of cooling. The affected component is very similar to the tsb 17336 from gm on like vehicles. There were no warnings or indicators that signaled that this component had failed. Owner located weld failure independently.
Car stalls and restarts when driving and turning. Car won't turn or go. Have almost wrecked multiple times. Says something about stabilitrak
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.
Vehicle entertainment center has intermittent issues with the hands free, bluetooth connection.the system reverts back to non hands-free operation or mutes the call randomly.the entertainment center also randomly scrolls, selects radio stations and changes modes when not in a call.happens while vehicle is in motion at low and high speed, in all associated conditions.this distracts the driver and has the potential to result in a fatal accident.other chevy silverados of various years exhibit the same issue as evidenced by a number of internet forum and you tube posts by owners.a date of occurrance is provided, but it's happened numerous times over the past two years.
The truck will yank the steering wheel back and forth, multiple electrical errors will occur and the engine sometimes dies while the truck is moving at slow speeds and turning. A stabilitrack error shows onthe dash. This happens almost daily.this truck is accident free and appears in excellent condition.
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.
While attempting to make a left turn the "trailer brake system" light appeared on the dash and the steering locked up causing me to drive straight into the woods nearly hitting a tree. The truck lost all power including lights and then everything came back on as normal and the steering was no longer locked up. A week prior while sitting still at a drive through window the same incident with the steering lock up and warning light happened while attempting to pull out. It was brief and all systems returned to normal.
I was driving and lost all power i had no lights no steering no breaks and then everything came back on this is very very dangerous research it and there is a lot of people having the same problems something needs to be done
When driving vehicle it losses all power, engine, brakes, steering, no dash lights, no controls and shuts off no control of vehicle at all, very unsafe! vehicle was in motion & turning on highway. This has happened several times but keeps getting worse each time and would not restart. Happened today 11/29/2019 i let vehicle sit for around 1hr after 1hr past vehicle started like normal. But safety issue need resolved!
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to hesitate when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to st clair chevrolet buick gmc (located at 3050 king rd, china township, mi 48054, (810) 637-1546), but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure continued. The contact had both rearview mirrors and the back up camera replaced, and an unknown sensor and the vacuum bag were reprogrammed twice. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,967.
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 turning onto a road, i turned the steering wheel approximately 20% and suddenly the steering wheel kicked back hard nearly breaking my wrist. Once i pulled off i was able to repeat the process several times in either direction, i have video of this issue. When it kicked back, i would lose all electrical power to dash instrumentation and also upon power coming back on, i would get stabilitrak errors and the vehicle and traction controlled would be turned off.
I have been dealing with transmission issues since i bought the vehicle. There is dirt and sand inside my brake lights, rust under the seats, dirt and rust under the dash, brake calipers are horribly rusted and painted to be covered up by the selling dealership, wiring issues continue to arise and repaired by my mechanic. Trailer brake system is now failing. Steering is having issues now, either bad tie rods or bad cv joints. I have had complete loss of electronic power steering in the past. I suspect this vehicle was in a flood and the dealership covered it up. I have been dealing with this since january of 2019, and i have text records starting april 7th 2019. The vehicle was purchased from a family member's dealership and i bought an extended warranty. They have been less than helpful. Seeking legal help is my last resort.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving slow speeds, the steering wheel violently jerked and the vehicle shook and lost power. Also, the electronic stability control indicator illuminated. The "parking assist off" and "roll down the side windows" messages were also displayed.

I will drive down the road and the display goes black on dash and i hear clicking sound and truck shuts off. Steering wheel has locked up making turns, left or right. Issues mostly happen when driving extended period of times but has cut off with short trips and parking, backing in. These issues started around dec 2019 and increased in frequency this year 2020.
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.
My left head light left turn signal, horn , hazards on my left side and window washer fluid all is not working
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the air conditioner was engaged but failed to produce cold air.

The ebcm with bpmv according to the chevrolet dealership is what caused my brakes to lock up and run all the roters and brake pads.they will not cover the cost of this unit, vehical was in motion on a city street
About 6 months ago now, under slow speeds and making a turn most of the time, my truck will shut down and jerk the wheel from my hands aggressively. This has happened about 20 times so far. About a week ago, i hit the gas to make a pass, the truck down shifted and shut down on me for about 5 second going down the highway. There has also been times when i've got the brake or put both front windows up and the radio would go out. Can anyone tell me what's going on and what to do. I rely on my truck allot but it is very dangerous to drive like this. When these issues occur the service stabletrack light comes on.
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.
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.
I've had nothing but issues with this truck from day 1 drove off the lot with 3 miles. 5000 miles power inverter shorts out. Then the windshield washer motor. My 18 month old was in the the vehicle with me smokes up the interior with electrical smoke. A month after shorted out fuel injector. Radio works when it wants to. Have video to back up. Gm flies out some engineers to look at truck instead of looking at the whole picture these dumb [xxx] are looking at the radio!!!. Cox chevy of bradenton florida is nothing but a bunch a lying pieces of [xxx]. [xxx] will not let you talk to the owners. They are liars will cheat you in anyway they can!!!. Service people can't duplicate issue stated when it happens video the problem and show us what a [xxx] joke. [xxx] couldn't find a way out of a paper bag. Chevrolet is the biggest pile of crap on the market.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Cold weather (25-30 degrees?) on 12/24, so remote started truck and began driving (rear defroster auto starts).heard slight sizzle noise, but couldn't figure out what it was...then wife (riding in back) heard it get worse, then a little smoke, then rear-window on driver side popped/cracked/shattered (truck has a sliding rear window, so 3 sections).didn't blow out, but is completely shattered.taped it to keep pieces from blowing apart.talked to dealer and gm customer care, and they advised of an open customer satisfaction program for this issue, but it only applies to vehicles in certain states (cold weather)...including mi, but i'm 1 hour south in northern in.#n192265660-01 is the program number (rear window defroster thermal events - us only _(mar 25, 2020).the problem also seems to be more common in canada where a full recall is in effect.at this point, however, gm customer care (case # 9-6442774509) says they can't do anything and referred me back to dealer...who i will assume will refer me back to cust care again.i'm waiting on their response.makes no sense that they will reimburse only for vehicles in certain states.i'm in the same cold climate as michigan and many of the other impacted states.looking for reimbursement of costs to repair, but for now i'm waiting to make sure someone will pay for it.this is a known issue that gm is refusing to reimburse (even though they are clearly willing in many other states).any suggestions?
There was a hissing sound and smoke in the area of the rear power sliding window, i had read about this concern online and was able to shut my rear defroster off before it blew out the back window but not everyone is that lucky. Gm has a bulletin about a small water leak in the same area but does not acknowledge that it is related to the rear window shattering. The water leaks in directly onto the power components of the glass, creates a short that overheats the glass, and ultimately ends with the rear glass shattering. I was lucky enough to catch mine before it blew out but that could cause a hazard for anyone sitting in the back seat, i do not feel that there should be a recall but some sort of extended coverage on this component for those who express the same complaint. Even if you catch it before the window blows out, the damage from the short is only fixed by replacing the entire rear window assembly (that is what they did to mine). Concern could be moving or stationary as long as the rear defroster is in use. Link to water leak bulletin: https://gm.oemdtc.com/8793/water-leak-under-back-glass-from-power-sliding-window-2014-2016-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierrawhere the leak is identified is exactly where i saw the smoke come from.

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.
Vehicle was stationary, in driveway of residence, running after being started with remote start.temperature outside was about 35f.front and rear window defrosters typically come on when the vehicle is remote started in the winter months.rear window of truck has three separate panes, the two outer panes are stationary and the middle slides opens via a switch in the overhead console.all windows in vehicle were closed.i was standing beside the vehicle when there was a loud cracking sound and small pieces of the rear window pane behind the driver fell to the ground.the window continued to make a cracking sounds for several minutes after the initial sound.there is a slight smell of electrical wire burning inside the vehicle very close to the bottom left side of the damaged pane of glass.despite the following information, gm claims that the vin of the vehicle is not subject to the recall.https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/mc-10171416-9999.pdfhttps://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/7/vrdb-bdrv/search-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng&mk=0&md=0&fy=0&ty=9999&ft=&ls=0&sy=0&rn=2019325&cf=searchresult&pg=50https://www.autoblog.com/2019/07/12/chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra-defroster-circuit-recall/
Started by vehicle with remote start.rear window defrost was on.i did hear some crackling noise by the window, but after getting things around forgot about it.20 minutes or so into my drive i started to smell something hot/electrical.noticed the rear defrost was still on so i shut that off too see if that was causing the hot smell.moments later the section of rear window on the drivers side exploded with a loud bang.all the glass in that section was shattered and eventually fell out that back (luckily not inside).i was under motion when it happened, but it was on a smooth road, nothing overhanging above (like lines that could drop ice) and not traffic near me.the glass pattern appear like the glass was blown out, not inward like if it had been impacted by an object.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled and the warning indicator illuminated for the driver to open and close the driver's side window. In addition, the trailer brake indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The contact stated that the failure occurred three times. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.
My 2016 silverado 1500 problems is the along with the loss of power steering, other electrical systems turns off including the radio, driver information center, door-lock cycle, ac and the stability control system. Abs and brake light turn on also hard to turn. Vehicle could be just on or driving around for hours or minutes time doesn't matter it could do it as soon it turn on those problems appear when the stabilitrak light comes on.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel ceased and jerked without warning. Additionally, the instrument panel was inoperable. The failure was remedied independently and the vehicle returned to normal operation. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to walker jones mega center (2718 memorial dr, waycross, ga 31503, (912) 490-8033) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to the connection between the positive and negative battery terminals. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the repair was not covered under warranty or a manufacturer's recall. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
I turned on the rear defrost to the vehicle.within about 30 seconds, i saw smoke rising from the center part of the rear window as if the defroster had started a fire.i immediately turned the rear defrost off and the smoke ceased.within a mater of seconds, the right panel of the rear window popped very loudly as it shattered, presumably from the fire.i was driving on a rural road when this occurred.i do have a power rear window on the vehicle and there is a recall already in canada for chevrolet silverado's of my model year with the rear power window having fires started by the rear defroster.

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.
The truck will cut engine at any speed, totally losing power to breaks, steering, odometers etc. It mostly comes back on after a few seconds and sends a code of many different kids (service park assist, stabiitrac, roll window down and back up, trailer brake assist etc)this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled.this could happen during a critical driving move and could end up deadly.currently, there are 70,000 miles on this truck and out of standard warranty and will probably cost a lot to fix.(labor mostly)research shows that this is pretty common and very scary.gm even has a service bulletin out (18-na-161)showing that this is a common problem and is very dangerous, thus need to cover the recall right away.

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.

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,
I will drive down the road and the display goes black on dash and i hear clicking sound and truck shuts off. Steering wheel has locked up making turns, left or right. Issues mostly happen when driving extended period of times but has cut off with short trips and parking, backing in. These issues started around dec 2019 and increased in frequency this year 2020.

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.
Traveling at speeds of 40-80mph vehicle will completely shut off and start braking. Service stabilitrac will come on. Happened multiple times within 20 miles. Mainly right after turning. When backing up service stabilitrac will come on. Steering wheel will lock. Vehicle will shut off.
Steering will get very hard to turn for a second on low speed turns, stabilitrak will disable and dash will blank out
As i was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the ac blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as i was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when i backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 silverado used in 2018 with 24k miles on it. The odometer just turned 50k two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service.i began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so i thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since i am out of warranty i have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly gm is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! i can not believe that gm knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? i also noted that the previous owner, right before i bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by gm and dealer when i bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now i can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!
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.

The truck will yank the steering wheel back and forth, multiple electrical errors will occur and the engine sometimes dies while the truck is moving at slow speeds and turning. A stabilitrack error shows onthe dash. This happens almost daily.this truck is accident free and appears in excellent condition.
After driving the truck for about 20 min, the truck loose a little bit of power then the breaks begin to get harder and harder till the front breaks lock up, after they lock up i have to park it for atleast 10 min then you feel them unlock and you can drive again, sometimes only a couple more min or till the next day, had it into the chevy dealership were they could not find anything wrong except some old stored codes, i showed them the code i kept getting and they said they didnt so mine couldnt be right, but to bring it back if it happens again. Tonight i pulled into work, i work midnights and my front rotors were glowing lava red. Breaks locked up after the stabilatrak service light comes on
Erratic steering and slow speed?s jerky car dies ground problem
While attempting to make a left turn the "trailer brake system" light appeared on the dash and the steering locked up causing me to drive straight into the woods nearly hitting a tree. The truck lost all power including lights and then everything came back on as normal and the steering was no longer locked up. A week prior while sitting still at a drive through window the same incident with the steering lock up and warning light happened while attempting to pull out. It was brief and all systems returned to normal.
1st i notice my info screen would black out and come back on then a service camera message would come on once in awhile. Now every once in awhile the stabilitirak will come on my screen and the steering wheel will jerk violently out of my hand. Very dangerous. Up to this point it has been at slow speeds...(under 30 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.
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.
The truck is less than 3 yrs old with only 23671 miles. Check engine light came on. P050d code and the transmission began to down shift hard at times when slowing down. Dealer said there was carbon build up on cylinder 1 valves that caused them to stick and a misfire. I found it interesting that cylinders 1-4-6-7 are the cylinders that shut down for afm active fuel management system when it goes into v4 mode. Dealer said it was not related. Said it was poor fuel. Said i need to run top tier detergent from select gas stations. That is the first time anyone has told me this. That's not in the owners manual and no one told me i would need to use special gas stations when i bought the truck brand new. I then told him the two stations i use are mobil and sunoco. Both of which are on the top tier fuel distributor list. Interesting fact: top tier fuels is a registered trademark of general motors. They failed to mention that when they told me about my "poor fuel" which is apparently a licensed gm product. I was told if this happens again i would have to pay as it would likely be outside the bumper to bumper warranty period (36 mos). Apparently the fuel system is not part of the power train? found nothing with the transmission. Not surprised. Last new chevrolet i will ever buy.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. After driving the vehicle, the contact noticed that the condenser was leaking freon. The contact stated that the leak began a month ago.

The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
This is my family auto i usually use only on weekends three weeks ago engine light come out i took to the mechanic shop for a test and they told me this looks as need a recall from the manufacturerdealer the truck runs goodwith out problem but the engine light come out i will upload what's the shop says
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".
At 44,000 miles the oil pan leaked. Took it to chevy dealership, had it fixed. I have 47000 miles on it now. Same issue happened, took it to chevy dealership, the dealership said it was the oil pan and has to order a whole new oil pan. Then the dealership calls me back and tells me i have bad oil cooling lines, but wants me to pay for it. No way, sorry. Chevy needs to stop making cheap junk. Truck is 3 yrs old and less then 50k miles. I have had a few other issues with this truck in the 3 yrs time. Oil cooling lines keeps the oil inside the engine from getting to hot. It can be a hazard for the lines to leak and or the oil to get to hot and ruin the engine causing major issues with putting builds all over the highways. Oil cooling lines should be included in a powertrain warranty and not bumper to bumper. Something like these oil cooling lines only last for 3 yrs should or less than 50k miles is uncalled for and should be replaced under a recall! period! chevy and gm has went the cheap route and their vehicles are not worth the money. Will never, ever tell someone to buy a america made product like chevy/gm.
Ac failure of newer chevrolet vehicles. Ac loses freon due to poor design and manufacturing of ac system. Freon leaks into environment uncontrolled. If you continue to add freon to bandage faulty parts, all you do is continue to lose freon into the environment. General motors knows of this failure, but yet does nothing about it.it is happening across several of their vehicle's. Leaks are bad enough that ac system only operates for a couple of days until it needs recharging.
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.
Ac condenser cracking blowing hot air
I was in for an oil change and dealership told me there was no fluid in my radiator. Upon inspection the radiator had cracked and was leaking at the seam right corner.the mechanic told me it was the 7th one they had done this season.i live in mass near ocean.it was a rainy day and my windows were up.there were no fumes, no warning lights to alert me something was going wrong with the heating cooling system..the concern was my truck wasn't the first to have this problem with this particular dealership.the same dealership mcgee raynham ma has been the only company to work on my truck.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle vibrated violently and hesitated. Also, the traction control warning indicator illuminated. Contact stated first incident happened around 1800 miles with bad spark plugs. The vehicle was taken to team chevrolet buick gmc cadillac (1069 canton rd, wintersville, oh 43953, (740) 326-4130) where the lifters were replaced with 2300 miles. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,800.
Coolant leak on driver side of radiator. This causes truck to overheat when driving on city streets or highways & at idle on occasion. It causes truck to overheat every time when hauling a load(pulling a trailer and/or boat) on city streets & highways. I can visibly see coolant leaking from the radiator. Driving with the ac on makes the overheating worse.
Engine overheating when pulling a trailer uphill. A simular problem also occurred with the transmission fluid reaching 212 degrees. Both incidents did occur on a hot days in california. Responded by turning on the heat in the summer time which solved the temporary engine overheating problem. Engine coolant was at the proper level and had not exceeded the manufactures 5 year 50,000 mile life time. This despite the truck being sold specifically rated for trailer towing with me neither overloading, exceeding tow rating or exceeding 55 mph. When this occurred.
I have a 2016 chevy silverado high country 6.2l engine 8 speed transmission 38,000 miles.transmission either hesitates or shifts roughly when accelerating. Multiple times when this occurred making a turn it nearly caused an accident if it decided tohesitate shifting.gm has done nothing about this problem except give customer magical fluid fixes that don't last if they work at all, they are now on the third fluid including the original factory. They've been telling customers the transmission just has to re-learn shift patterns from day one.a friend of mine has one of these trucks as well and had one dealer tell him that's just how the truck works. If this is an acceptable mode of operation then why was the truck allowed on the road in the first place?

The truck will cut engine at any speed, totally losing power to breaks, steering, odometers etc. It mostly comes back on after a few seconds and sends a code of many different kids (service park assist, stabiitrac, roll window down and back up, trailer brake assist etc)this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled.this could happen during a critical driving move and could end up deadly.currently, there are 70,000 miles on this truck and out of standard warranty and will probably cost a lot to fix.(labor mostly)research shows that this is pretty common and very scary.gm even has a service bulletin out (18-na-161)showing that this is a common problem and is very dangerous, thus need to cover the recall right away.

When driving, if i do something electrical, like applying the brakes or using my turn signal, the entire car electrical system shuts off for a second and sometimes jerks the steering wheel out of my hand.it usually restarts immediately on its own while driving. I've had it also while parked with just the radio on, that everything just died. Then it took a few tries before the truck engine turned over to try starting it

The truck shakes while in slowing down or in a stop .....and the wifi doesn't work i keep i been calling already for months to chevrolet onstar for the resolution and they keep saying it fixed and it not
On jan 30, 2021 a check engine light appeared on start-up but had no noticeable difference in driving conditions or reading from dash gauges. Checked engine code and it read po6dd, took my truck to a gm dealer and they ran a test showing 20psi too low of oil pressure at the top side of the engine as a result of a failed oil pump solenoid. Was told this could have caused an engine failure. Cost to repair this issue is >$3,000.00. While the dealership was test driving my truck after repairing the oil solenoid the entire power steering unit failed. The entire power steering unit needs to be replaced and is nearly $1,500.00 to repair. These problems on a 5 year old vehicle with 103,490 miles seems like a major issue. I reached out to gm and they said that these issues are not under recall and will not be assisting in any costs involved in repairs.
Poor visibility on the headlamps on rainy nights . It's like i'm driving with the headlights off .
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.
At low speeds my brakes stop working. The brake pedal becomes very stiff and i have to use both feet pushing down as hard as i can for the vehicle to stop. Also,the head light switch inside the vehicle does not work. When i turned the dial off of the auto lights i saw smoke coming out from behind the dial.
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.
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.
Defroster button illumination is intermittent.this could lead to a crash while seeking to find and operate the defroster activation while driving under low light conditions.the vehicle has 46,500 miles on it, and the repair is stated at $700 which involves a replacement heater module with the same defective bulbs and requiring a common data bus programming fee, and is, according to the dealer, not user serviceable.
My left head light left turn signal, horn , hazards on my left side and window washer fluid all is not working
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.
When driving in heavy wet snow at night headlights get covered and make visibility almost 0% lights do not generate any heat on the lens to melt off the snow or ice.
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.
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 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.
Pulled into the parking lot at work at low speed when applying the brake to backup i noticed the brake pedal was very hard.i put my truck in reverse to back into a parkingspot, the brake was very hard and wouldn't stop. When hit the fence the truck finally stopped. Called the dearler where i got the truck, they said there's a recall and the brake system needed to be reprogrammed but that wasn't going to fix it. 2019 i took the truck in @ 60,000 miles, they did a reprogram and said they couldn't do any thing else unless there was another brake recall. The bad thing about this whole brake problem is gm knows what the problem is and won't fix it. Gm has and will fix the problem if you pay 12 to 1,600 dollars. Since they did the reprogram i have 80, 000 miles on the truck and at low speed at a traffic light or in parking lots the brake is very hard and the abs system will activate. Same problem different day. I need new bombers now. I guess gm is waiting for someone to get hurt.
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.
Warranty ended in july 2019. Check engine light came on in nov 2019 with a p050d code. Vehicle only has 32,0000 miles. Took it to dealership (autonation chevrolet in gilbert, az) and was told two fuel injectors were the cause and needed replaced.the dealership said one of the injector fuel rods and gasket was installed backwards at the factory. I pushed for gm to pay for the repair since no previous injector work had been done.the exception was cleaning the injectors as part of routine maintenance, which occurred in aug 2019 and was completed at dealership.gm agreed to pay half the cost of repair. However, i wholeheartedly believe they should've paid the entire cost since this was caused by a factory defect. I believe this should be looked into because if my injectors were installed incorrectly at the factory, chances are other vehicles have them installed incorrectly as well.
While driving down the highway and traveling on an exit ramp about halfway through, my vehicle momentarily "shuddered" or "lost power" followed by the check engine light flashing. This could have resulted in quite a serious accident, however i was able to retain control of the vehicle and pull over immediately. When i pulled over, i connected my code scanning tool and pulled a p0300 code from the vehicle, meaning it had multiple/random misfires. This coincides with the "shudder". Upon taking the vehicle to the dealership to get a diagnostic, the service writer informed me they have had quite a few vehicles with the same engine come in for misfire issues, usually resulting in fuel injectors being replaced or the fuel pump. Searching online, it seems to be a fairly consistent issue. Multiple forums have been dedicated to it, along with many youtube videos describing it and showing how to replace the injectors or fuel pump. As this seems like a widespread issue, i would like to request the nhtsalook into the matter and make a determination. I would hate for a similar situation to happen to someone and they are not able to retain control of the vehicle.
My truck has a bad gas smell when entering or exiting the truck.i looked underneath it and saw a small gas leak coming from the top inside of the tank. The truck only has 26000 miles on it, and is just out of warranty.please inform me if you know of other reports of gas leaking on these chevy trucks
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.
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 gasolineand 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.
While traveling eastbound on interstate 10 from van horn to fort stockton at approximately 85 mph with a semi parallel on the right hand lane and an suv directly behind me no more than 3 car lengths away, the check engine light activated and all power was lost. When the engine shutdown luckily the suv behind me was able to slow down after i immediately activated my emergency flashers and i was able to safely, after almost causing an accident, move over to the right hand shoulder/grass area. After having truck towed to the nearest chevy/gm dealership in pecos tx, the diagnosis was a faulty fuel pump estimated cost over $800. This is a serious safety issue when traveling on the highway and the fuel pump goes out and should be looked at by nhtsa.
I was driving down highway when engine lost power and stopped. It was transported to dealership. The fuel injectors, fuel rails , and catalytic converter need to be replaced.
Rpm increases between 4 and 5.5k but unable to acceleration after descension from hill while driving on i-17.it appears my transmission/gears slip following hill descents. On 6 occasions, while driving to and from moab, utah on aug 9-10, the engine revs up to 4.5 - 5.5kat the bottom of the hill/decline. I could not get out of the gear or pick up speed upon acceleration. Braking did not stop the revs. I just kept my foot off the brake and accelerator until the gear eventually kicked in. Otherwise the truck ride and drive is amazing and no other problem except getting annoying gear clunks now and then, every since i purchased it. Back in 2017 midway chevy said that is not a problem. Well, i drove my truck for the first time yesterday since the incident. The problem reoccurred while descending a very small hill in anthem. This time span was much shorter. I want to mention that i have driven my truck up i-17 from anthem, az to flagstaff and beyond at least 20 times in the last 4 years and never experienced this. I do not have a floor mat or anything on the driver side floor of the truck. There are no signs of trans fluid leaking (on garage floor etc.), no way to check my trans fluid level. No messages showed up in the dic (driver info ctr), or on the dashboard instrument cluster (message center) (i.e.: transmission, speed, service brake assist, etc.), no diagnostic warning and the august monthly diagnostic report did not reflect any problems. I don't think any features were accidentally turned on while driving (i.e.: tow/haul, hdc, grade braking etc.) . The problem continued after turning truck off and restarting, which should disengage most features. I am a 70 year old woman and haven;t driven the truck hard or never hauled anything. I am 2k miles out of warranty. Will never pay 53k for a vehicle with such a lousy drive-train warranty.
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.
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.

The fuel pump and ac compressor failed just outside of bumper to bumper 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 contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate. The vehicle was towed to dublin chevrolet (2046 veterans blvd, dublin, ga) where it was diagnosed that metal shavings from the torque converter damaged the transmission and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer provided case number: case 9-5717232477). The failure mileage was 66,000.
The truck shakes while in slowing down or in a stop .....and the wifi doesn't work i keep i been calling already for months to chevrolet onstar for the resolution and they keep saying it fixed and it not
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!!!!!!!
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.
Upon leaving my residence and heading to work in the morning, the truck started sputtering and cutting out while driving through the intersection.the action impeded the traffic and the engine light cut on.after reviewing the fault code, it displayed a p0300 misfire code and p050d, commonly related to faulty fuel injectors.the truck had approximately 34000 miles when the issue started.local chevy dealer advised they are not covered under power train warranty and bumper to bumper has expired. The issue is now re occurring and the fuel injectors are on back order.
Vehicle shifts really hard when slowing to a stop or when accelerating. This has been a problem since the truck was brand new but chevy said there is nothing wrong. It does not happen every time but i'd say it's atleast a few times every trip. I told chevy about it either in the first or second year after buying the truck.
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.
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.
Transmission has hard shifting from starting position, while driving and slowing down. 50% of the time you can hear a clunking when hard down shifting.i have had the dealer look into this over 6 times already, and on one occasion it had been "reprogrammed" and on one occasion a part had been changed.it still continues to shift hard as noted above.odometer as of 4/5/19 is 17,093.have service scheduled for april 8 2019 for shifting issue and motor oil change.
I had just gotten home after visiting my parents which is approximately 100 miles (1 hour and 45 minutes) away from my house and i had no issues on the highway with my brakes. The drive was mostly all highway with an average speed limit of 65 and 75 mph. I went to park my truck at my house in which i back into my parking spot at home. When i went to stop, my truck's brakes worked properly but when i put it in reverse to back into the spot, that is when i went to go break, the brakes needed more force applied to the pedal in order to stop the vehicle. I then put my truck into drive to see if the problem was only when the vehicle was in reverse or all the time. I drove it a few feet forwards and back a few times and the problem persisted. General motors has issued a document (pit5361d) regarding this issue but has not issued a recall. A new vacuum pump was installed by the dealer which resolved the issue but was not covered under warranty.
The first set of brake pads were gm replacement, they did not stop the truck as well as the original. So i replaced the pads withraybestos brake pads, still not satisfied with the stopping distance. Again i went with napa ceramic pads they caused the breaks to squeal when the brakes were applied. Now my mechanic has replaced them with o relly name pads and the stopping distance is still increasing. The other problem was around 58,000 miles my truck began shifting hard and jerking. When i took it to deacon jones chevrolet in smithfield nc, they replaced the torque converter at no charge. Now at 63,000 miles its doing the same thing. Gm states even if they replaced the part the warranty only covers to 60,000. Miles. When asked about the part warranty same response 60,000 miles. Checking with several mechanics in the area and on line both incidencesseems to be a reoccurring problem for people who own trucks of this period. Please check into this.
The contact owns a chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle suddenly lunged forward. In addition, the vehicle experienced hesitation and vibrations while driving with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact indicated that while the failures were present, the diagnostic code reader indicated that the transmission was defective. The cause of failures were not determined. The local dealer keller chevrolet (700 cadillac ln, hanford ca) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 87,000.
I have a 2016 chevy silverado high country 6.2l engine 8 speed transmission 38,000 miles.transmission either hesitates or shifts roughly when accelerating. Multiple times when this occurred making a turn it nearly caused an accident if it decided tohesitate shifting.gm has done nothing about this problem except give customer magical fluid fixes that don't last if they work at all, they are now on the third fluid including the original factory. They've been telling customers the transmission just has to re-learn shift patterns from day one.a friend of mine has one of these trucks as well and had one dealer tell him that's just how the truck works. If this is an acceptable mode of operation then why was the truck allowed on the road in the first place?
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 shakingthat 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.
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.
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.
This truck shakes horribly over 70 mph. After looking for solutions and seeing hundreds of complaints on the same issue i have nowhere to turn and no hope that a dealership will be able to diagnose or fix this issue.
The transmission shutters, radles, and pings upon light acceleration. It has a delay before down shifting, it occasionally makes a loud clunk when putting into drivei dont know if the afm has part in these issues. If you drive with hard acceleration then it only pings sometimes and kind of sounds like an older 80 model v8 with a timing knock.this truck only has 28k miles on it and it had been doing it for the last 6k miles. If you manually shift the transmission it limits the issue.
Was driving and cruise control stopped working didn't throw any check engine lights or codes. Got appointment set up for them to look at it and less then a week later can't drive it due to the transmission is out. Only has 129k for miles
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.
My truck shakes from the moment we pull off from a stop and shakes until we get up to 70mph. We had an alignment and that did not fix anything.gm is fully aware of the issue and has done nothing except put out a service bulletin for diagnostics that costs an arm and a leg!we cannot drive this vehicle because we are afraid we will lose control.this happens on paved and dirt roads and inside city limit streets (30 mph) and interstate roads (60mph+). We are also afraid to drive the truck fearing that it would get worse and the driveshaft might drop.$60k truck sitting in our driveway wasting away.
I have been dealing with transmission issues since i bought the vehicle. There is dirt and sand inside my brake lights, rust under the seats, dirt and rust under the dash, brake calipers are horribly rusted and painted to be covered up by the selling dealership, wiring issues continue to arise and repaired by my mechanic. Trailer brake system is now failing. Steering is having issues now, either bad tie rods or bad cv joints. I have had complete loss of electronic power steering in the past. I suspect this vehicle was in a flood and the dealership covered it up. I have been dealing with this since january of 2019, and i have text records starting april 7th 2019. The vehicle was purchased from a family member's dealership and i bought an extended warranty. They have been less than helpful. Seeking legal help is my last resort.
I was driving down highway when engine lost power and stopped. It was transported to dealership. The fuel injectors, fuel rails , and catalytic converter need to be replaced.
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.
I was driving normally and all of a sudden it started wanting to downshift from 5th or 6th gear to 2nd or 3rd gear when going up a tiny incline which normally wouldn't be cause for any downshift.i saw it was funky and a mile later, i lost all power and had a variety of check engine lights.i pulled over, cleared them and restarted the truck.it let me drive in first gear for a little while until i reached a stoplight and could not go anywhere.towed the vehicle out of the intersection thanks to my friend and put it on a tow truck to the dealership.they said the transmission fluid pump failed and exploded, sending metal chunks all throughout my transmission.they said it would cost $4500 for a gm rebuilt 6l-80 as it was at 98k miles and was no longer under any warranties.i drive very cautiously and almost never allow rpm's to go above 2500, never shift from reverse or drive to any other gears unless fully stopped, and do most of my driving on the highway.so a month later and 4 grand later, my truck is running and driving again.
I have had this hard jerking and slamming of my transmission in my truck since i purchased it brand new. It occurs when going from reverse to drive it will hesitate and not go into gear and then it slams and jerks the vehicle violently with a aloud crack noise of the gears slamming together. It also occurs when i am in between the speed of 40-50 mph. I will be driving down the road and the truck will slam into gear while driving. It also had a very high idol and shakes the truck. I have brought my truck into the chevrolet dealership for these issue 5+ times now and contacts the gm to help get my issue solved and they just can't not fix the issue. I don't want to get stranded with my family if the transmission decided to break or cause trouble. I have had multiple occurrences of this issue happening.
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.
I bought a brand new 2016 silverado in 2016 and have put 72000 (highway) miles on it. Took it in to my local chevy dealership because of a transmission shudder and hesitating while accelerating and whine right before shifting to the next gear. Torque converter is failing sending metal shavings through my transmission and destroying it. A bill of greater than 5500 for this transmission is absurd but not as crazy as a 3 year old transmission failing on you.
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.
Vehicle vibrates and shakes significantly between 60-75 mph.has been ongoing since january 2019, two months after purchasing used vehicle from dealership.current mileage is just over 52k.there are numerous people with same year, make, and model having the same issue.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact coasted into a parking lot and noticed that the front passenger side axle independently shifted to the rear of the chassis, which potentially caused a spark to the tires. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
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.
Shift jerking, down shifting and up shifting.
My vehicle has the 6.2l v8 and the 8 speed transmission! the transmission was serviced for shuttering at various speeds, however still continues to shift very hard going up in gears but more so when down shifting. It seems as if it doesn't know which gear to go in. It lurches forward at times when coming to a stop as well! the dealership says this normal for that transmission however i disagree! my vehicle has 55000 miles on it!
At approximately 32,000 miles, as i was entering the on ramp to the freeway, i lost forward drive. I coasted to a stop on the side of the road and tried several times unsuccessfully to resume forward motion or even reverse. The engine revved up but no movement. After getting the truck towed to my house, and then towed to the dealership the next day, the dealership spent 2 days diagnosing the transmission before determining that the transmission had to be removed for further investigation. After they removed the transmission, they discovered that the gears and clutch packs for gears 2 through 6 had blown apart. This is of course was absurd due to the age of the vehicle, the mileage and the fact that i've never towed anything with the truck or anything outside of normal everyday driving. Fortunately, it was still under warranty so the dealer proceeded to rebuild the transmission. Fast forward to 60,000 miles later and of course the transmission problems have returned. I began feeling an intense vibration through every gear and at all speeds, long, delayed and frequently violent shifts between 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears, and a strange, noisy idle. This went on for a day which, i then parked the truck and scheduled an appointment to return to the dealership to prevent further damage. The day of the appointment, after the vibrations, clunks and delayed shifts, i lost forward drive again, about a half mile from the dealership. I managed to get it back in drive after shutting off the ignition and cycling the shifter from park to drive, but this would only last through 2nd gear before losing drive again. I repeated this about 4 times which was enough to get the truck to the dealership and prevent having to wait an hour to be towed 1/4 mile. Unfortunately the truck is now outside of the 5 year 60,000 mi power train warranty. Expecting to receive a diagnostic report tomorrow.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact purchased the vehicle three months ago and stated that the air conditioning failed. The vehicle was taken to herrin-gear chevrolet (1685 high st, jackson, ms 39202, (601) 376-9944) and was informed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
When i started to pull off from a red light driving the vehicle around 30-35 mph the tachometer starts jumping 150 to 200 rpms and a rattle starts coming from under the truck. I believe it is the torque converter starting to come apart. I've talked to several mechanic shops and they stated this was a common issue with these trucks. This truck has roughly 70k miles on it. Just as the warranty went out of course.when this started occurring i was starting to move at a red light when it changed to green on city street.
Ever since i purchased my truck in early 2017, the 8 speed automatic transmission shift from 1st to 2nd gear at low speeds has been extremely hard.it changes so hard, it feels like someone struck my truck from behind, and shakes the entire vehicle. This hard shift will take place on an upshift and downshift.on the downshift, my truck will lerch forward, concerning me that i may strike another vehicle unintentionally.i have taken the vehicle to the dealership regarding the problem on at least 5 different occasions.the last occasion, the chief mechanic called me and said it is a known problem, and chevrolet has no intention of fixing it.he explained it involved the torque converter, and chevrolet has moved on from that transmission. He also stated that my transmission should not be damaged from the shift.one service rep. Stated to me that my warranty is good for 100,000 miles, so don't worry.how can i drive a vehicle, when passengers become frightened from the hard shift.most recently it has started to shudder through the first few gears and is extremely bothersome to drive.the dealership has made it clear that chevrolet has no intention on fixing the "known" problem, which is dangerous.i have service records upon request.
Tried to accelerate while entering the freeway, and experienced engine shudder/stutter. Took several seconds before vehicle responded and accelerated. Lots of shaking.
Transmission failure on the highway
My truck was shaking and shuddering, along with hard upshift and downshift while driving. It started to make a loud noise when accelerating from a stop and would sputter when on the highway.i took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the truck would need a new transmission.
Truck has 104,000 miles on it. Saturday it stopped going into any gear and would not move, clearly the transmission. It initially was jerking as i pulled into a side street and once i got to where i needed to be and tried to drive again, it wouldn't go into any gear. Took to aamco in albany where they diagnosed that the transmission pump failed and will need a complete rebuild and there is a national back order for this pump.
Transmission shifts violently at times. Feels as if something ran into the truck and scares you when it happens.
I bought this vehicle with about 20000 miles , right after i hit about 28000 i noticed that my second or third gear on my transmission startedjerking . Is always doing it when is cold and always at the first start of the day. I also noticed when downshifting it makes a loud clonking sound. I took it to the dealer and they of course told me it was nothing . I do not tow anything heavy i only use my truck to go to work . Im pretty sure this is not normal . Unfortunately i haven't able to get it fix since repairs for transmissions are expensive and this vehicle is out of warranty.
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.
I have been having issues with the transmission hard shifting in low gear.mainly from 1st to 2nd gear.i also experience a power loss while moving at very slow speed and applying the gas pedal.most of the issues i am experiencing happens while moving at slow speeds and when turning from a complete stop. I have taken the truck into the dealership to have it looked at but the problem has persisted and they stated that the hard downshifts and power lag are design features to protect the transmission from self inflicted damage.
Constant excessive vibration issues when traveling over the speed of 45+
Dive line vibration, not from out of balance wheels. It occurs around 70 mph and lives in and out. The shake/vibration is always present but gets fluctuates at a continuous speed. Goes from a slight floor vibration to the entire center console shaking water out of its cup. Feels like the wheels are going to come off the back. It can be seen that the rear end is shaking left to right from the drivers mirror.
Transmission failure.truck starts to jerk violently.
Rpm increases between 4 and 5.5k but unable to acceleration after descension from hill while driving on i-17.it appears my transmission/gears slip following hill descents. On 6 occasions, while driving to and from moab, utah on aug 9-10, the engine revs up to 4.5 - 5.5kat the bottom of the hill/decline. I could not get out of the gear or pick up speed upon acceleration. Braking did not stop the revs. I just kept my foot off the brake and accelerator until the gear eventually kicked in. Otherwise the truck ride and drive is amazing and no other problem except getting annoying gear clunks now and then, every since i purchased it. Back in 2017 midway chevy said that is not a problem. Well, i drove my truck for the first time yesterday since the incident. The problem reoccurred while descending a very small hill in anthem. This time span was much shorter. I want to mention that i have driven my truck up i-17 from anthem, az to flagstaff and beyond at least 20 times in the last 4 years and never experienced this. I do not have a floor mat or anything on the driver side floor of the truck. There are no signs of trans fluid leaking (on garage floor etc.), no way to check my trans fluid level. No messages showed up in the dic (driver info ctr), or on the dashboard instrument cluster (message center) (i.e.: transmission, speed, service brake assist, etc.), no diagnostic warning and the august monthly diagnostic report did not reflect any problems. I don't think any features were accidentally turned on while driving (i.e.: tow/haul, hdc, grade braking etc.) . The problem continued after turning truck off and restarting, which should disengage most features. I am a 70 year old woman and haven;t driven the truck hard or never hauled anything. I am 2k miles out of warranty. Will never pay 53k for a vehicle with such a lousy drive-train warranty.
Since purchased, truck shakes at about 70 mph.original tires were mounted and balanced - still shakes.new set of tires were put in - still shakes at 70+mph.happens on all types of highway surfaces.ongoing issue.
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 timesfor approximately 10 days in total.
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.
Torque converter clutch suffered failure while driving, much noise and default to 'safe mode' decreasing truck performance.truck just reached 80k miles, less than five years old.the fix is to replace/rebuild transmission.repair is stating that they are upgrading various parts within the transmission to prevent issue in the future.to me, this acknowledges a flaw in the design/construction of part.recall should be issued to address known issues due to poor design or construction.
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".
When truck is traveling at highway speeds (60 and above) the truck shakes violently and anything in the cup holders shakes violently. It is a very common issue from what i can tell and chevrolet has done nothing to attempt to fix the issue. Something should be done.
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
Gm has known defect w/ 8l90 transmission systems failing.in july this vehicle was serviced by a gm dealer receiving full transmission flush and preventative maintenance.ever since (now 60 days) the truck struggles to shift and lurches forward in low gear.upon taking back to dealer this week, the lone option is a full replacement transmission, nearly $6k of estimated cost.truck is less than five years old.
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 than happy to take them for a ride to show them. For when this happened. It started in 2nd week of july to present. It only had around 300 miles when it started.
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.
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.
Our 2016 chevy silverado 1500 transmission started knocking, pinging, and hesitating. We contacted the dealership and they diagnosed that we needed a new transmission.this vehicle is only 3.5 years old. It should not be responding the way. I noticed online that a class action lawsuit is being filed, however, gm does not recognize the lawsuit yet.
I have a 2016 silverado 1500 that having trouble with my breaks and powertrain. I try to stop the other day and the pedal got stiff and wasnt able to come to a complete almost hitting a pedestrian. Its been going on for awhile too. And my powertrain when i in the street or highway going 60mph it tends to shoot the rpms n go down and like the transmission want to shift down on its own.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 35-45 mph, the vehicle would jerk forward, then decelerate, and jerk forward again. The vehicle was awaiting diagnosis by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Transmission will make a hard shift sometimes, mostly at low speeds and light trottle. Feels like you just hit a large pothole.
At around 82,000 miles car started to be hard to drive due to transmission failing to switch gears properly...now at 92,500 it's barely switching gears...i received error codes and check at dealership, they say it's not under warranty.i knew i am covered up to 100,000 mike's for drive train.please help!
I eased the vehicle into the parking space, released the gas pedal, andit surged/jumped forward. My vehicle pushed the other vehicle in opposite parking space about a foot, causing damage to both vehicles.
82000 miles, hard shifting and jerking. 83000 miles truck will hardly go into gear.
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.
At 81,000 miles truck started having a transmission shutter at 25 mph and 45-65 mph when transmission is at normal temp. Took truck to the dealership and being told i need a new transmission for $5,000.00.there are many documented transmission issues with chevrolets. Why is nothing being done to help the customers???
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'
I started getting the famous transmission "shudder" and "shake" about a week ago and it is now constant at any speed, especially during acceleration. Shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd are harsh. During acceleration, the transmission surges and feels like it's slipping or trying to shift when it shouldn't. Even using cruise control at a constant speed, the surges still happen and there's a constant vibration through the steering wheel.
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 contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the transmission would not shift properly. The failure was more evident while downshifting. Also, while turning, the rear wheels would randomly seize. The cause of the failures were not determined. In addition, the rear driver's door would not lock. Bowser chevrolet (201 7th ave, beaver falls, pa) stated that the door lock actuator was faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000.
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).
Driver seat belt will not click in rendering the seat belt unusable.
My husband went to buckle his seatbelt and the thick metal coil within the plastic cover snapped. He was lucky it didn't happen in an accident. I immediately took it to the dealer, who took pictures and stated he needed to contact gm customer service to proceed. He said he's call me back later that day which he did not; i ended up calling the following morning and he proceeded to inform me a diagnostic procedure would have to be done to determine what happened. I asked if he had heard back from customer service and he said no. I called and talked with the service manager who said he would have to wait to hear from gm. Long story short, according to customer service, they'd only pay $70 towards the total cost since the car was not under warranty. I said a 5 year old seatbelt should not snap and they should be responsible for paying the entire $500 tab. They would not do so.
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. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v651000 (air bags, seat belts). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.
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 incident because of the headrest.
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.
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.
Brakes are hard at low speed. Pressing the brake at low speed make it very hard for car to stop. No lights turn on the dash at the time of this issue. This happens most during stop and go traffic or when in a parking lot ofa store where car is traveling at low speed
2 brake specific problems. 1.) backing out my driveway (sloped downhill)at low speed, i hear the the vehicles anti-lock brake system engage. Causing slow stopping distance. It does not trigger any warning lights on the dash. 2.) while backing up into a parking space, vehicles brake pedal became rock hard and had to use great pressure with both feet to stop vehicle. I put it in drive just to see any difference- same rock hard pedal. Parked, shut vehicle off, and went into restaurant. After an hour inside, returned to vehicle to go home. Brake pedal was back to normal.
At low speed my brakes seem to have failed. The brake pedal is very hard and i almost drove into oncoming traffic.
I owen chevy 1500 2016. I received recall on the truck when saw it i was surprised do too i got to two car accident before i receive the recall. After contacting gm motor they said the is the software need update however it didn't end there still have problems with the brakes and gm denied any involvement of the two accident.
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.
When moving at slow speeds (parking lots, stand still traffic) the brakes lose assistance causing the pedal to become extremely stiff and difficult to depress resulting in the truck being almost impossible to stop. This has been happening consistently for about a month now.
While driving in stop and go traffic on a city street moving straight forward and inching the brakes to move with the traffic flow i noticed that the brake pedal got very hard and the vehicle was continuing to move forward even though i had all my weight pushing on the brake pedal lifting myself off my seat this happened 3 times before i was able to reach adequate parking. I have taken the vehicle to a certified gm service shop and after inspection they instructed me that i would need to replace the brake system vacuum pump, the brake booster, brake master cylinder and the tubing connecting the items. Resulting in a $1170.00 repair and the service rep also stated that this would take care of the issue but cautioned the oil and filter changes needs to be maintained according to the manufacturers standards. I have owned this vehicle about fifteen days as of this writing i did by it from a dealer whom said he was unaware of this issue. Why is the nhtsa or whom ever continuing to let the dealers sell theses vehicles with a known safety problem without addressing the proper repairs stated in the tsb pit5361b that gm has sent out to there service centers. Serious accidents could and should be prevented with this issue.

The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to hesitate when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to st clair chevrolet buick gmc (located at 3050 king rd, china township, mi 48054, (810) 637-1546), but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure continued. The contact had both rearview mirrors and the back up camera replaced, and an unknown sensor and the vacuum bag were reprogrammed twice. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,967.
While driving at slow speed (15 mph and less) in shopping center parking lot stop and go situation the brakes would not stop the vehicle. Brakes seemed to be grabbing and petal became excessively hard. Dealership replaced vacuum pump & sensor, labor and parts $605.41. Mileage 56827
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado. While driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was hard and depressed to the floor without warning. The vehicle was towed to east syracuse chevrolet 1 chevy dr, east syracuse, ny 13057 (315) 437-3311 where diagnosed that the vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. The manufacture was contacted who referred contact to another local dealer. The failure mileage was 59,344.
Intermittent reduction in braking power while performing parking maneuvers (parallel parking). Feels like loss of power brakes requiring very heavy force to stop vehicle - very unnerving.vehicle was taken to dealership for inspection and dealer replaced brake pads and rotors on front & back.dealer claims issue is unrelated to recall 19v645 & 20v603 but i suspect it is as symptoms are identical.
As i was driving in traffic my brakes became so hard to push that i could not successfully get it to stop effectively without using my body's weight to try and depress the brakes. I still couldn't get it to stop correctly. Then i was in stop and go traffic and almost rear ended someone. Happened many times more before i could get it in to be fixed.
Brakes start failing ( brake pedal hard) when parking after driving
Driving in heavy traffic at slow speeds when i applied the brakes to stop, the vehicle continued to move. Brake pedal became hard to depress and with more pressure the vehicle began to slow. The problem happened again while baking up out of a parking stall, the brake became very difficult to depress, with the vehicle stopping after pressing the brake pedal with force.
Brakes fail to stop at slow speeds ( trying to park or in a drive thru) despite pushing brakes pedal to floor, brake pads are fine started at 34,000 miles now have 52,000 has happened randomly.chevy states nothing wrong with brakes.however hitting the car in front of me says differently because it wouldn't come to stop lucky was barely moving. Huge safety issue not being resolved.
Same problems others are having with breaking,breaks get hard and go to floor,when trying to park or backing up to a parking space.not sure why there is no recall for this issue it's a big safety concern.
I was backing out of my driveway when i tried stopping to shift into drive i pressed brake pedal and truck kept going almost hitting a parked car i felt a vibration in brake pedal and it felt hard to press truck has about 29k miles
I had just pulled into a parking lot and positioned the truck to back it in into a parking space, when the truck was put into reverse my brakes became very hard and i had no stopping power. I put the truck in drive and the same thing happened, i then turned the truck off after putting it in park. Waited a few moments applied pressure to the brakes and started it. When the engine turned over the brakes softened with a vibration, and i accelerated forward to take it around the parking lot and the brakes seemed to be working again. I also got a service brake assist notice on my dash when i started the truck this morning. Upon investigating, seems to be a known issue? i do not feel safe in my truck now and i do not even want to drive my children around.
I was driveing the vehical pulling a boat on a trailer coming up to a stop sign, i then went to press the brake and the pedal was hard and the truck wouldnt stop. It was very difficult to press the brake and if my wife had been driving im not sure she would have had the stregth to press the brake and stop the truck. This is a very dangerous issue. Took the truck to the dealer and they said that the vacumm pump had failed and needed to be replace along with the vacumm hoses and the brake booster. The dealer wanted 1400.00 to replace these components on a two year old truck. I replaced all the components with factory parts.
Usually after more than one stopwhen moving less than 5 mph with foot of the gas (like when parking) break pedal requires extreme pressure to stop vehicle.this after brake software was re-programmed during a recall. When backing a 6000 lb trailer (without electric brakes trailer has hydraulic surge brakes) down a hill it becomes dangerous! to back a trailer down a hill you must put the truck in neutral, use your right foot to keep the engine rpm up and brake with your right foot. This allows the vacuum pump to supply enough vacuum for the power brakes to work combine this with watching and guiding the trailer and it causes extreme worry. If you don;t keep the engine rpm up to produce vacuum you cannot safely the trailer, it will travel much further before stopping and require a massive effort on the pedal to stop the truck and trailer. This happened every time i launch my boat in 2019. Truck now has about 51000 miles on it. Other than the brakes it has been problem free.
Brake pedal becomes hard to press at times. Pedal must be pressed hard to the floor in order to stop. Occurred 02/14/19, on a few occasions while driving on the road and almost caused an accident. Also occurs when letting foot on and off brake pedal multiple times. Almost feels as if no braking power at all, unless pressed hard to the floor.
2016 chevrolet silverado. Consumer writes in regards to hydraulic brake system safety recall. *ldthe consumer requested to be reimbursed for the recall repair.
I was pulling a trailer and was trying to back it up to park it and i lost my ability to brake. It was scary asks dangerous. I have taken it to the dealership and all they did is reprogram it and not address the actual vacuum pump that has the sludge build up on the screen. Needless to say, even after the recall, i am still experiencing brake loss at low speed. I'm hey disappointed in gm. This has happened to my '15 and '16 silverado's. I'm not sure if i'll buy another gm vehicle again if my safety is compromised and they will only bandaid the problem
When moving slowly brake pedal becomes hard to push making it difficult to stop in position of drive up window or parking.
Vacuum pump failed suddenly, almost had a collision due to very hard braking.the vehicle is currently at the dealer for repairs ($2,100 including new brakes).i don't have any documentation yet.
At low speeds the btaking system is extremely hard to engage and creates a need for an umexpected longer stop distance/time. This is an extreme hazard and can easily cause an in incident and possible injiury/fatality. It gives a 'brake assist error'when this occurs.
In a parking garage and trying to maneuver into a parking stall.the brake pedal became very hard.the abs light flashed momentarily and went out.there were no power brakes and very little effect to standing on the brake pedal.put vehicle in park and restarted it.continued to have no or limited brakes.went on to another parking stall where no one else around.crept into spot.when arrived back from trip, brakes were fine.called local chevy dealership and they replaced vacuum pump free of charge.has only happened 2 times since them.all in parking lots at very low speeds.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle vibrated when the brake pedal was depressed and the pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle failed to stop and the emergency brake had to be engaged. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to barton chevrolet (800 auto park pl, newburgh, ny 12550, (845) 561-7600) where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 37,965.
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.
At slower speed the braking system seems to fail. The brake pedal needs to be pressed hard but sinks and the car does not stop. This is only happens at speeds less than 15 miles per hour.it feels like the cars does not stop and i have to put much more pressure than usual.i usually put car in park and restart it and it is fine until the next time. It has happened numerous times in last couple of years. I did take into the dealership and they could not find anything wrong
On my 2016 silverado 1500 when i am at slow speeds and press the brake pedal it does not stop the truck. The pedal becomes extremely stiff and the only way to stop the truck is the emergency brake or using both feet pressing the brake pedal with all my force. I have found by my dealer that it is a faulty vacuum pump also not covered under warranty.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While the vehicle was being reversed on several occasions, the brakes became inoperable. The contact stated that extra effort was needed to slow down the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v578000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.
I drove almost 5 hrs away to take my family on a vacation and when i pulled into the hotel i almost couldnt stop and noticed my parking assist service was on on the dash. I tried backing up and i almost could not stop from backing into another car. And it keeps doing it every now and again. The brakes are hard to push and it feels like are palpatating and also feel like something is under my brake bc it barely pushes in.
I got a recall done buy a chevy dealership in storm lake iowa, so they say they did it but after a few months of driving i noticed the my truck started breaking different at low speeds just like the recall was for the recall number is n192268490. Just didn't know if there was something i could do so i don't have to pay to get it fixed when it's not my fault the breaks won't work like they are supposed too!
I was driving in stop and go traffic on the highway at low speeds.when i applied the brakes, the pedal was very stiff and i had to use excessive force on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.i almost hit car in front of me.chevrolet dealer diagnosed a bad vacuum pump and replaced it under warranty.this malfunction is a serious safety issue.
When driving at low speeds the vehicle sometimes continues to roll even though the brakes are fully pushed. This seems to happen intermittently and is noticeable when pulling into the garage. The brake pads were recently evaluated during a routine service at a gm dealership.
Dec 1st 2018, i'm in a parking lot pulling into a parking space head first, when i needed to straighten my truck out, i put it in reverse to pullout and straighten it out, when i hit my brake pedal suddenly the pedal has a lot of pressure and makes it difficult to come to a stop. Then pull forward again to park and yet the pedal becomes rock hard making even more difficult to stop the truck moving forward, a couple feet. Then finally stopping before hitting the car in front of me. I now call the dealership to take it in and see what's going on because now this puts myself, my family, and everyone around me in danger if i'm not able to stop my truck.
2016 chevy silverado brakes are inactive at low speeds. Brake pedal becomes very stiff in stop and go traffic. Truck is in the shop now getting repaired. I will send my vin number when i get my truck back .
First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note i have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds.starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so i started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work i got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. Currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.
Leaving a chiefs game in kansas city i was waiting in traffic.we slowly moved forward and my brake pedal went to the floor and would not stop the vehiclei ran into the truck in front of me . There was no damage to his bumper but i got a dent the size of a baseball. Later on the way home i relised that it was still doing in at low rpms so i took it to the dealership amd they said my vacume pump was going out!! at 45000 miles???? the mechanicsaid it was a very common problem.
The brakes became very difficult to press while trying to stop from a slow speed. This happened several times while either in stop and go traffic or going through a drive through. I had to press extremely hard on the pedal in order to prevent from hitting the vehicle in front of me. This issue did not seem to occur at higher speeds.
While in stop and go traffic, the brake pedal response becomes increasingly difficult to depress allowing the vehicle to move . Both feet required to keep it from moving. Could have made a slow speed rear end collision. Chevrolet dealership repairs are a new vacuum pump.the truck has 60,000 miles.
Hard brake pedal at low rpm
Lose braking power on the 2nd application at a low speed. Had an accident trying to slow down coming to an intersection due to low to no stopping power.
When i apply my brakes at low speeds or have to apply a decent amount of pressure i hear a high pitched noise and my brakes get hard and i have a hard time stopping. I also feel a catch and release kind of jump in the petal when this happens like the brakes catch then release.
Brakes became incredibly hard and almost did not stop my truck three times now. Finally, this last time the service brake assist light came on. I have previously taken my truck to the dealer twice and they saw nothing wrong with it. I am hoping they will now that the warning came on. I have come very close to hitting other cars because of this and hope it can be fixed. This happened every time as i was parking my truck at very slow speeds (thankfully).
Ts bulletin no.: pit5361bbrakes 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.
The first set of brake pads were gm replacement, they did not stop the truck as well as the original. So i replaced the pads withraybestos brake pads, still not satisfied with the stopping distance. Again i went with napa ceramic pads they caused the breaks to squeal when the brakes were applied. Now my mechanic has replaced them with o relly name pads and the stopping distance is still increasing. The other problem was around 58,000 miles my truck began shifting hard and jerking. When i took it to deacon jones chevrolet in smithfield nc, they replaced the torque converter at no charge. Now at 63,000 miles its doing the same thing. Gm states even if they replaced the part the warranty only covers to 60,000. Miles. When asked about the part warranty same response 60,000 miles. Checking with several mechanics in the area and on line both incidencesseems to be a reoccurring problem for people who own trucks of this period. Please check into this.
Lost ability to brake. Had to press pedal very hard on the brake pedal and felt truck braking is not working. May be related to vacuum pump failure and/or braking system failure.
During parking or in traffic, the brakes on this vehicle have a tendency to become very stiff and noisy requiring increased pressure to apply the brakes. The problem has caused several near-miss accidents and has become more frequent between occurrences. The problem was reported to the dealership innovember of 2018, but because my appointment was later in the day, they asked if i could return another day to have the problem diagnosed. I had it diagnosed finally on may 4, 2019 which they did not elude to this being a frequently reported issue, nor that the issue has been ongoing since the previous year. The dealership stated that the repair would cost over $700 which i could not afford at the time. But then 4 days later i receive a letter (attached) in the mail, dated april 2019, that says that the brake issue was identified, but i would only qualify for the extended coverage if the problem was reported within 6 years of the purchase date or 72,000 miles, whichever was first. At the time the issue was diagnosed, the milage on the vehicle was 73,265, conveniently just outside the range of the milage identified in the letter. If gm was familiar with this issue in 2018, why send this letter out immediately following my diagnosis, where i was allowed zero opportunities to have the problem repaired? were all the other vehicle owners who experienced the problem given the same milage and year restrictions as me? also, how is it that a braking problem which has been know to cause accidents and injuries allowed to persist up until there is a severe problem, potentially resulting in a fatality before a recall is justified? there are moral concerns with this on addition to the general safety concerns.
When stopping vehicle the break pedal has been vibrating and going to the floor for a few days. This usually resolves after a few minutes. However today the break pedal vibrated and went to the floor and has not come back up. This is not allowing the truck to stop in reverse or forward motion. When put in reverse and then pressure applied to break the pedal appears to stay on the floor of truck. When placed in drive the pedal will have some pressure behind it but then will abruptly go to floor and not allow truck to stop. This occurred before the last break recall on this truck. Recall was completed and then a few months later the same issue has occurred. There is adequate break fluid in reservoir and does not appear to be leaking. Break pads are in good condition. This seems to be either an internal computer issue or and issue with the break pedal itself. This happened while pulling into a parking spot at a slow rate of speed.
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.
The brakes build up pressure when pushed multiple times causing the brakes to not engage and properly stop the vehicle. They get so tight you have to put all weight and force possible in them to stop. I've called multiple dealerships and even called gm directly and after investigation they say they could not simulate the issue and its not a known issue. I have found numerous reports on this and it was very easy to find as a known issue amongst gm owners.
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.
I experienced a hard brake pedal at low speed with minimal stopping prior to the vehicle being recalled for the brake vacuum pump issue that was to reprogram the electronic brake control module.the recall has been performed in early december 2019 and since the recall i've experienced the hard brake pedal with increased stopping distance several times at low speed and in one particular instance a trailer was in tow as i was maneuvering into a parking spot.the recall in my opinion was not the actual solution to a potentially dangerous issue.
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 adriveway. I am able to duplicate it. Also at red lights if i pump the brakes they become really hard to push.
I believe chevrolet 1500 series trucks are not manufactured with brakes that stop the vehicle soon enough. I have a problem when i have driven my truck for a while, long enough that the brake system gets pretty warm, or down hills,,( not steep hills). The brakes do not not brake very well, along with making a grinding - rumbling noise from the front of the vehicle. It also feels like like the brakes are metal on metal. I have asked the dealership to check into it, and the say, nothing wrong, brakes have lots of brake pad left. When i ask them if they have heard of any issues regarding brake fade, and noise, they say no. Last year gm came up with a front brake upgrade kit in their parts department, which is a 6 piston calliper and upgraded pads for the truck, but it costs $4000. On the 2019, they have added this upgrade kit as an option when you build and price a new truck. That tells me that that they know there is an issue with their trucks, but they won't admit it.
2016 chevrolet silverado. Consumer writes in regards to brake vacuum pump safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the brake vacuum pump and the transmission failed. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the repairs.
Silverado 1500. While moving at slow speed, like in line at a drive thru, the brakes will sometimes get real hard to push petal to bring vehicle to stop. It happens in reverse moving slow and itsextremely uncomfortable when i'm backing boat in boat ramp and the brakes fail to a point that i have to stand on the petal and engage parking brake so i don't lose my truck and trailer into the water. I happened once about 6 months ago but didn't do it again til a march 1 and has happened 4 times since. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Low speed brake hesitation. Almost feels like the antilock brakes are engaging and now allowing the vehicle to stop. Only occurs at low speed. Normal and high speed braking is fine. Recall work for the brake pressure assist completed 3 weeks ago but problem still persists and feels to have gotten worse since the work was done.
Lose power braking ability in stop and go traffic and at slow speeds. Two pedal depressions and brakes become virtually unusable. Suspect faulty brake vacuum.
Vehicle brakes fail when traveling at low speeds. Brake pedal will not depress and truck will not stop. Failures happen in forward and reversed. Problem is reoccurring.
The contact owned a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). While the contact's son was driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was applied, but failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of a tractor trailer. The instrument panel warning indicators flickered during the failure. The driver was injured, but did not receive medical attention. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was destroyed. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 150,000.
The brakes are not working properly. Randomly the pedal stiffens a d wont let me brake properly. It happens in reverse and in drive. When pressing on the pedal it will sort of lock up and keep going a few feet before coming to a stop l. This is ridiculous, i'm in the military i have a newborn child i do not need to be hurt at home while driving around. There needs to be a recall to ge this fixed.
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 thempulling 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.
Loss in break power at low rate spell when parking.felt like the truck lost full power to break system. Only happens when parking.looks to be a vacuum pump failure. Found no recalls on issue and seems to be a dangerous issue
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.
When i put the truck in drive to move forward the truck would not stop.i pressed very hard on the brakes to get it to stop.i then place the truck in park and tried again to move backwards.the brakes would not stop the vehicle.i had to press as hard as i could to get it to stop.almost hit a building. This has happened on 2 other occasions in a parking lot and pulling out onto a main road from a driveway. When i turn the vehicle off and restart then the brakes will engage and work properly. This is a very dangerous problem.
Hard brake pedal and near complete brake failure at low speeds due to faulty vacuum pump for brake booster. Vacuum pump unable to provide enough vacuum to brake booster causing very hard pedal at low speeds and stop and go traffic. Vehicle is well maintained with approx 52,500 miles
Vehicle loses most to all of the pressure in the brake pedal at slower speeds or if coasting (foot off the accelerator) for short periods. Braking becomes extremely difficult and stopping distance drastically increases. Service brakes message comes on while in traffic as well, but only as a service notice, not a warning. This as been on going since january 2017, but has gotten dramatically worse over the past several months. This happens when driving through city's in traffic and parking lots at slow speed. No accident to report, but too many near misses to count. Yesterday was the latest event. On the interstate, in traffic traveling 0-15 mph, it took a solid 5 feet or more to stop the vehicle from 10 mph to zero while pressing the brake pedal with both feet. I was not towing anything and the vehicle was only loaded with 5 passengers and a small amount of luggage. Roads were dry and the temperature was roughly 60 degrees f. Please contact me if you need more information or other events.
When i put my vehicle in reverse when backing down an incline my break pedal gets hard and the vehicle takes longer to stop and the steeper the incline the harder it is to stop this only happens when i am in reverse also the brake peddle has some vibration when this happens. I read your article on gm vehicles having this similar problem i ran my vin number for a recall and nothing came up for my vehicle. Also if this is a recall issue i have not received a notice from the manufacture.
My brakes do not properly function in wet weather conditions. The brake petal becomes extremely stiff, as if there is air in the brake lines. This also results in a significant loss of stopping power. While jamming the brake pedal as hard as i can, the pads never make significant contact with the rotor.i have already damaged my bumper because of this. I was attempting to park during heavy rains. While pressing my break petal, i noticed the immediate loss of stopping power. I could not stop in time, colliding with the parking barrier pole. The loss of stopping power happens routinely during rain.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. On several occasions, while parking or reversing the vehicle, it failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard, but failed to stop the vehicle adequately. The vehicle was taken to summit chevrolet buick gmc (located at 318 grant ave, auburn, ny 13021, (315) 258-2000) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. The contact emphasized that the failure occurred at extremely slow speeds. The contact was concerned due to the ongoing investigation, nhtsa action number: pe18012 (service brakes, hydraulic), linked to similar vehicles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Approaching intersection stop light, tried to applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor no brakes after several attempts. Was forced to use the emergency brake to stop but still had collision with another vehicle.after the dealership reviewed the brakes it was determined that the right front brake caliper mounting bolt was missing which allowed the caliper to rotate off of the rotor and clear the piston from the rotor surface and then the piston was forced out of the cylinder and loss of brake fluid resulted.
Lose brake assist(?) upon sitting with foot on brake @ stop light/parking lot.pedal becomes hard and will not stop.has not happened @ speed.had repaired, said was vacuum pump malfunction-$600.have read of other reported malfunctions of same style.
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.
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.
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.
Near brake failure at low speed like coming to a stop sign, garage door, etc. Very hard to push pedal. Almost hit several cars. Ticking noise in engine compartment.
Brakes barely work at low speed and require a lot of pressure to get the vehicle to stop.nearly backed my truck into a lake while backing down a boat launch.very dangerous!there are so may complaints on this issue and the nhtsa has been "investigating" itfor over 6 months now.when will something be done?
When i was parking my truck the brake was hard to push. Pulling forward hitting the brake took allot of effort. Backing into to parking spot and hitting brake took allot of effort. This is the fourth time this has happened. I almost ran into a pole in the parking lot as i pulled forward. This has only happened at a low speed in the situation of me parking.
Brake pedal very stiff with little to no braking power.happens at low speed both in forward and reverse.already had vacuum pump replaced on 01/25/2019.same issue again on 01/29/19.taking back to mechanic.
If you continue to apply brakes the pedal becomes rock hard. Vehicle will continue move forward or backward no matter what pressure you apply to pedal. The vehicle will move several feet before coming to a stop. This occurred to me while at a city crosswalk. Huge safety concern with vehicle not stopping.
Brakes when being applied under low speeds is not stopping the vehicle.
Brakes go out when backing up or at low speed
Went to make left turn on wet road an it didn't turn it slide an kept going straight .it just doesn't stop it slides yes vehicle was moving the road was wet made this same turn for the last 30 years in many chevrolet silverado trucks an this has never happeneddifferent time everyone all traffic stops at once i tried to stop an i slide in to a vehicle so hard it hit the vehicle in front of it before stopping there are 4 of these trucks bought at the same time same truck same tire on all 4 vehicles and there all driving an acting the same way.
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,
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.
This for 2016 chevrolet siverado ltz d/c 5.3l 4x4 t/a1500 model ck15543 purchase date: 05/26/16as of the last past year i've experience steering control failure, stability control failure and brake system failure.the truck can not be driven safely.visit dealer about 10 times and they don't have a clue ofhow to fix this safety problems.this vehicle is listed under recall by gm and dealer has not been able to fix.
Brakes locked up wile,driving for a second time in less than a month , the first time was 07/13/2019 depaua chevrolet had to 0rder electrical moduals called ebcm andbpmv that was suppose to be the reason the brakes locked up it took a month for them to get parts and now the brakes have locked up again after spending $2512.02 toget them repaired . I would like to know if any body else has had this problem with there 2016 chevy silverodo 4wheel drives. This happened while driving.
On the date cited, i was backing up a trailer down a hill slowly.had released the brakes then reapplied and suddenly the brake pedal was stiff and it was very hard to stop.manually applied full strength trailer brakes and the trailer helped stop the truck.3 days later (5/30/19) i experienced a similar incident.i was parked, put the truck in drive accidentally and took my foot off the brake.when i applied the brake again quickly to switch to reverse, the pedal was extremely stiff.nearly hit the vehicle in front of me.put into reverse and no issue.at no point was a "service brake assist" message displayed as noted in a 'special warranty' letter received from gm in the mail between the incidents.no other error codes or messages were displayed.2 years ago after having towed a trailer, the message "service brake assist" was displayed on the screen once, the local service dealer pulled codes and did not perform any repair.
At slow speeds my brakes are not working, i notice it most when trying to park. It happens sometimes but not always.
As others have complained about this same issue, i'm sitting in the dealership right now waiting for a new vacuum pump to be installed because my truck will not stop at low speeds pulling in or backing out of parking spaces or driveway. Waiting on actual price but possibly $700 to fix something that should be recalled.
Brake pedal becomes rock hard and nearly impossible to stop when driving at low speeds or on an incline
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 contact owned a 2016 chevrolet silverado.the contact stated was driving 25 mph when the brake brake pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact stated that he had to depress the brake pedal with both feet as it travelled to the floorboard. The vehicle did not stop and decelerated in speed which caused the contact to rear-end a vehicle, which also caused that vehicle to rear-end a vehicle as well. No injuries were sustained and no medical treatment acquired. There was no police report filed. There was no warning light illuminated on the vehicle. The contact stated that the abs failed to engage. The contact had the vehicle towed to their residence. The contact insurance company had the vehicle towed to a tow yard, where they inspected the vehicle damages and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The local dealer and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact mentioned that he believed the failure was related to nhtsa campaign number: 18v578000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 16v069000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was 78,000. *dt
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.
Brake paddle will sometimes go hard on a second application most notably when going slow as if the power brake part of the system is not working, still have a good paddle but almost no stopping power. Looking for a recall, not found.
Increased brake pedal effort caused by faulty brake vacuum pump. Stiff brake pedal at low speeds and increased stopping distance
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While the contact's daughter was pulling into a parking lot, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed and did not stop the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle struck a sign post. There was no warning indicator illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to lou bachrodt automall (815-332-3000, located at 7070 cherryvale n. Blvd, rockford, il 61112), but the technician was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The technician stated that the recall repair may not resolve the current failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
I was parking and almost hit the car in front of me because the brakes weren't working at low speed.vacuum pump failure.
On three occasions my 2016 chevy silverado ltz z71 brakes failed to work. The first time i rolled half way into a intersection before i came to a stop. The second time was at an singnal controlled intersection. After both of these incidents the brakes started working perfect and i was not sure if there was a problem or not. The other day this happened agsin but this time i was in a parking lot. I was able to test the brakes and as i went back and forth i had trouble coming to a stop as i pressed the brake pedal as hard as i could. I brought the truck to chevy service and was told the brake vacuum pump or something like that was failing. They stated i was just out of warranty and i'm responsible for the cost. I don't feel like i should i do be responsible for a part that they said is not supposed to fail. This is also concerning if there are other chevy truck out on the road that randomly will not be able to stop.
Took my truck in for the recall on brakes. Dealer performed the recall service. Brakes still exhibit problems. Brakes become mushy at low speed after applying brakes gently, then moving forward slightly at low speed brakes seem to collapse and exhibit a low grumbling noise. Pads and rotors are good, so not the issue. It leaves me wondering if recall was done or done correctly.
The brakes went stiff and my wife was barely able to get the truck to stop. This was luckily just backing out of our drive way. It could have been really bad if she was going faster or needed to stop quick.
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??
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.
Loss of brakes at low speeds
Reoccurring braking problems at low speedswhenever pressure is applied to the brake in quick succession (ie bumper to bumper traffic) the brake pedal becomes harder/stiffer to press and applies little to no brake without excessive force. I have only noticed this braking problem at low speeds because of the conditions that cause the problem. This happens when the vehicle is driving straight as well as turning.the vehicle also make a sound as if the abs system is activating and the brake pedal feels as though the abs system is activating. No lights illuminated on the dashboard during the braking. My vehicle only has about 50k miles. The vehicle was also bought from a certified chevrolet dealer
Driving around parking lots or stuck in traffic going slow and having to press the brake pedal frequently the pedal will go very hard and takes both feet to press down on it and basically have no brakes. I have i to pull over or stop and shut the truck off and sit for a min then restart and i get my brakes back. I think it has something to do with the vacuum assist pump not working correctly. I have not taken in to the shop yet cause i'm out of the bumper to bumper warranty
From the day of purchase the brakes never seemed to be adequate.you would have to push harder on the brakes than normal to make the truck stop.during routine service the dealership reported the brakes, drivers side rear were almost metal to metal and the rear passenger side was slightly better.the front brakes were 2/3 worn and all of the pads needed to be replaced.this truck is leased and has only 32000 miles on it therefore shouldn't need to be replacing brakes at such a low mileage.per the dealership it is our responsibility to pay for the repairs as brakes fall under the normal wear and tear of a vehicle.again, we feel that with only 32000 miles brakes shouldn't have to be replaced and should be the responsibility of gm to rectify this problem.this is the 4th new gm truck that i've owned or leased and have never had any issues before with brakes.
2016 silverado crew cab, 3rd one i have purchased from this dealership. In december of 2018 , with 57094 miles on it, the truck had a power brake failure while being parked.took the truck to the local dealer who said it was not under warranty.passed on having the worked done there and brought it to my local repair shop where they diagnosed it as a problem with the power brake booster pump. The bill came to $384.33, which i paid with a credit card.on may 7th, 2019, i received notification from gm that there was a problem with the brake booster pump on the 2016 silverado. The letter instructed those who had a repair made already to submit the following information in order to receive partial/totalreimbursement:-name and address of the person who paid for the repair. -the vin number of the vehicle that was repaired.-description of the problem, the repair performed and who performed the repair.-the total cost of the repair expense that is being requested.-proof of payment for the repair in question and date of payment.i was able to gather all this information and present it to the dealer from whom i had purchase the truck. I was informed that the signed credit card receipt that was attached to the bill was not sufficient as proof of payment (works when i go to a restaurant). The dealer stated that gm requires a copy of my credit card bill for that time period. This means they would also have my credit card number, a list of every purchase i made in that time period. What payments i had made and any outstanding debt. I declined to give the dealer this information.called gm customer service and worked up to the supervisor level and got the same response. The wanted my credit card statement.i told the supervisor that i thought the request was very intrusive and again, declined to provide it.
Hard petal at low speeds.dealer did recall but brakes are now worse.recall did not work.worse when in drive through or slow stop and go traffic.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the brakes seized intermittently. On september 5, 2019, the vehicle was taken to high plains motors inc (331 front st, wolf pointe, mt 59201) for diagnostic testing. The contact was informed that nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes) applied to the failure. The software update was performed; however, the failure was becoming worse. On september 9, 2019), the vehicle was brought back to the same dealer and the contact that the contact would be responsible for the repairs since the recall repairs were performed already. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
At low speeds my brakes stop working. The brake pedal becomes very stiff and i have to use both feet pushing down as hard as i can for the vehicle to stop. Also,the head light switch inside the vehicle does not work. When i turned the dial off of the auto lights i saw smoke coming out from behind the dial.
I was driving and lost all power i had no lights no steering no breaks and then everything came back on this is very very dangerous research it and there is a lot of people having the same problems something needs to be done
I had a recall on 2 different trucks (15 & 16 silverado 1500) and the dealership claimed they fixed the problem but the problem still exists. I sold the 15 but currently still have the 16. I have reached out to the dealership and they told me it's been too long since i had the recall addresses (nov 2020) so i will have to pay for the $180 diagnosis fee. My truck is doing the exact same thing it was doing before. Even after the dealership "fixed"the problem, i could all notice the issue. I love gm but i'm very disappointed in the efforts they have put forward to resolve this dangerous problem. I'll not sure if my next vehicle will be a gm product
Pedal went to floor and would not stop when parking and also in bumper to bumper traffic
At a gas station moving to park, when i pressed the brakes the vehicle wouldn't stop until i pressed very very hard on the brake pedal.
After driving the truck for about 20 min, the truck loose a little bit of power then the breaks begin to get harder and harder till the front breaks lock up, after they lock up i have to park it for atleast 10 min then you feel them unlock and you can drive again, sometimes only a couple more min or till the next day, had it into the chevy dealership were they could not find anything wrong except some old stored codes, i showed them the code i kept getting and they said they didnt so mine couldnt be right, but to bring it back if it happens again. Tonight i pulled into work, i work midnights and my front rotors were glowing lava red. Breaks locked up after the stabilatrak service light comes on
Lose of breaking power at low speed.i lost all breaking power trying to maneuver in a parking garage and parking lot.there are no lights that come on during or after this.i have had it happen 3 times almost resulting in damage to my vehicle and others.the break peddle stiffens and provides almost no breaking.
On 09/27/19 while driving my vehicle home from dinner with my children my brakes went out completely close to a mile from our home.the vehicle was in motion while this happened and we were on a highway.significant force had to be exerted on the brake pedal to force the truck to slowly come to a stop.had we been in heavier traffic there is no doubt that this brake vacuum pump failure would have resulted in a crash involving other vehicles.when i contacted the dealership, richard kay superstore in anderson sc, they stated their was a recall for a re-calibration of the braking system that if left unchecked could cause a failure of the vacuum pump.at the time the vehicle was three years old and the recall was issued 25 days prior to my incident.the total cost to repair the vacuum pump was $705.96.i am very disappointed that chevrolet has not recalled the vacuum pump assembly.it is clear to me that the calibration failure is causing these pumps to wear out too quickly... Or the pump themselves may actually be faulty as well.regardless, the calibration should be required as well as a replacement of the vacuum pump at no charge to the consumer.this will prevent injury and potentially the loss of life.
Vacuum pump is leaking. When i push brakes it gets hard and truck doesn't want to stop when i push brakes. I've already had brakes replaced and it still occurs and i also took it to dealership and they said it was vacuum pump. Motion, street, highway, braking
Unresponsive brakes at low speed. Very dangerous and not sure why this isnt a recall. How many people have to get injured or die before its fixed?
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.
The brakes become hard and resist depression, or require an increased effort to depress the brake pedal but with no stopping ability, if you tap or press the break. Example in traffic or reversing out the driveway.this seems to happen at 20 mph or less. I did have an issue the other day when i had to slam on the brakes, pressing the brake all the way whichhard to do and made all kinds of noises. This has been going on since 2017.
Backing into a parking spot today at low speed (less than 5 mph) the brake pedal became stiff as a board and would not budge when pressed and the truck would not stop. My truck rolled back into a cluster of bushes and finally stopped. This is a widespread and dangerous issue. A recall needs to take place asap! all of my internet research shows that this is a faulty vaccuum that controls the breaks that fails at low speeds. There have been multiple accidents and very close calls. Gm needs to be held accountable for this.
My 2016 silverado was already recalled for the brakes, i took it to the dealer weber chevrolet, and they said they fixed the recall. This was several months ago. Yesterday i started up my truck and a brake service message appeared, when i put the truck into drive and went down the street the brakes were mush, they were almost unresponsive at the low speed i was going. I had to push the brake pedal to almost the floor at the stop and heard a loud growling soundfrom either undertake hood or the wheels. So what ever they work did for the recall notice did not fix the problem described in your recalls for this 2016 truck.
Currently experiencing reduced braking capability while at a low idle while in slow moving traffic and backing up. Brake pedal seems to go to the floor and required greater force to stop vehicle.
Rpm increases between 4 and 5.5k but unable to acceleration after descension from hill while driving on i-17.it appears my transmission/gears slip following hill descents. On 6 occasions, while driving to and from moab, utah on aug 9-10, the engine revs up to 4.5 - 5.5kat the bottom of the hill/decline. I could not get out of the gear or pick up speed upon acceleration. Braking did not stop the revs. I just kept my foot off the brake and accelerator until the gear eventually kicked in. Otherwise the truck ride and drive is amazing and no other problem except getting annoying gear clunks now and then, every since i purchased it. Back in 2017 midway chevy said that is not a problem. Well, i drove my truck for the first time yesterday since the incident. The problem reoccurred while descending a very small hill in anthem. This time span was much shorter. I want to mention that i have driven my truck up i-17 from anthem, az to flagstaff and beyond at least 20 times in the last 4 years and never experienced this. I do not have a floor mat or anything on the driver side floor of the truck. There are no signs of trans fluid leaking (on garage floor etc.), no way to check my trans fluid level. No messages showed up in the dic (driver info ctr), or on the dashboard instrument cluster (message center) (i.e.: transmission, speed, service brake assist, etc.), no diagnostic warning and the august monthly diagnostic report did not reflect any problems. I don't think any features were accidentally turned on while driving (i.e.: tow/haul, hdc, grade braking etc.) . The problem continued after turning truck off and restarting, which should disengage most features. I am a 70 year old woman and haven;t driven the truck hard or never hauled anything. I am 2k miles out of warranty. Will never pay 53k for a vehicle with such a lousy drive-train warranty.
My 2016 chevrolet silverado brakes become very stiff when braking at low speeds. This has happened on 3 seperate occations. I have to physically use every ounce of strength i have to press the brakes to stop the truck. On two occations i almost hit another car but stopped just inches away. My truck has been taken to pep boys and brakes plus in denver, co. Both companies cannot find anything wrong with the truck. I've read that there is a lawsuit against gm for this problem and it seems to be very common.
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.
When driving slow the brake booster doesnt seem to work, unless you press on the gas. When reversing slowly brakes go out. When stuck in traffic bumper to bumper and driving slow the brakes seem to not work unless you press on the gas. The first time it happened was in december 2017 and its starting to happen again.
The 8th of november 2018 while traveling through austin, tx - in heavy traffic; i nearly rear-ended another vehicle - the brakes got real hard, but the vehicle kept rolling. The brakes acted like the engine was shut off. I tried them again after resumed speed- and i tested them - on the third pump - they were rock-hard again. A vehicle shop in san antonio was able to consistently replicate the problem. It was a bad vacuum-pump-assist. It cost me $455.00, it could have been worse, the mechanic told me that oil from the engine could have damaged the vacuum booster and/or the master cylinder. He told me chevy knows about it -#pit5361b - but i never knew about it - i almost rear-ended another vehicle. Vehicle had 48,500 miles when it occurred.
When driving at low speeds, the brake petal becomes hard and stiff and will not stop. This has happened numerous times and is very dangerous.
The brakes became really hard to press and i almost crashed into my garage.this seems to only happen at slow speeds but is getting worse.the "service brake assist" light came on.it is believed to be a failure in the vacuum pump.
When switch from reverse to drive and move forward than step on breaks it's gets harder and don't stop the vehicle. Also it's happen to me on the freeway when i was slowing down in traffic and it's come to stop and slowly moving the vehicle my brakes was too hard to stop the vehicle , i almost going to hit the other vehicle.
Vacuum pump failed resulting in property damage
I took my truck in a couple of months ago for a recall that had to do with the braking system. Well the other day while driving in a parking lot at very low speeds, my brake pedal started vibrating and got really hard, i was barely able to press the brake. I scary situation that i know is happening to a lot more people who own gm trucks. I hope you guys make gm do a second recall for 2014-18 gm trucks, to replace the brake booster pumps. My local dealership told me that it's a common issue for people who've had the first recall done.
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 contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vaccum pump failed, which prevented the brakes from engaging when reversing or moving forward less than 5 mph. When hauling the boat with the vehicle in reverse, the vehicle rolled forward whether the gear was in drive or reverse. Also, the brake pedal became difficult to depress. The contact stated that the failure occurred when the vehicle was driven at low speeds. The vehicle was taken to james wood chevrolet (3906 i 35 east south 201, denton, tx 76210, (972) 434-1515) to be repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes); however, the repair did not correct the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 58,500.
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.
The brake gets hard when you push it down, and it wont stop. We were at a pond looking at the wildlife just barely moving when i applied the brakes to stop for a moment, however the truck would not stop. The brake felt like it was all the way down and was very hard but yet, the truck kept rolling. I was in a very busy city and was scared that it might not stop in traffic. I tried pumping the brakes and that made it worse. I checked the brake fluid and it was well within the normal level.the truck seemed to do ok on the highway as we were coming home, as long as you didnt push it down twice...ie, you had to push once and hold it cause it would get hard if you lifted your foot and braked sgain.the problem was mostly in town where there were numerous times you have to stop for traffic, red lights, turning, etc... The vehicle just wouldn't stop. I had several close calls before i could get it home. The chevrolet dealer said it was the brake vacuum booster? (might not have said that as he did) and it needed to be replaced before i got into an accident. This seems like faulty manufacturing or just a bad product that gm should have recalled so consumers could get it fixed before any accidents occurred. I'm thankful we weren't injured or anyone else, but this may not be the case for someone else. This needs to be addressed immediately by gm and they need to make it right. I will be going to the dealer to get my vehicle repaired,but it's unfair that i have to pay for something that gm should have made right already.
Brakes is hard to push on slow speed,i taked for a alignment the other day and the mechanic almost fell the rails, is really dangerous driving like that, i saw a lot of complaints about the same issue,a recall needs to be done,
Power braking failure. Brake booster/vacuum pump has failure when driving at low speeds (backing/pulling into parking spots, driving in stop & go traffic, etc.). The brake pedal stiffens up, and an immense amount of pressure is needed to stop the vehicle. I have been able to recreate this issue many times in the past couple days, as has the chevrolet dealership that i purchased it from.this is similar to when a vehicle loses all electrical power and the abs is no longer active. When the brake is applied (very heavily), and the the pedal stiffens up, the truck still proceeds to move forward or backwards another foot or so prior to fully stopping. This is a huge safety issue, as i commonly drive in stop/go traffic to and from work, as well as park in a parking deck backing up to either other vehicles, or a concrete wall.
Brake pedal becomes hard with little to no brakes a low or idle speeds.
When applied brake pedal was very difficult to push down and brakes did not function properly. Vehicle was in motion on a city street at time of incident. Took to chevrolet dealership and they told me it was a bad brake booster and that they have had a lot of trouble with them.
Got in my vehicle and started to go and when i pressed on the brakes to stop i noticed that the brakes were fluttering and not stopping properly . So i looked up and there's a recall on gm model but not the chevy model . So i called my dealer where i bought it from and they told me the same that there are no recalls on mine but to bring it in anyway.
Power brake failure. Lost brakes pulling into parking space. Parking space barrier stopped the truck. Brakes began to work again after letting truck sit and restart engine. Very dangerous! took vehicle to dealer and they found the vacuum pump failed internally. Dealer would not cover repairs for faulty vacuum pump despite safety issue. Total cost was $724+tax. Only 43,000 miles on truck. Gm knows about the problem and will not address. Service bulletin pit5361b.
When operating vehicle at low speeds the brake pedal becomes stiff and hard to press down. This causes the truck to continue moving and even caused me to rear end another vehicle causing rear damage to that vehicle and a small dent in my front bumper. This issue does not happen at high speeds but 15mph and under it occurs.
On two occasions while driving at slow speeds in stop and go traffic the brakes did not work properly causing the stopping distance to dramatically increase. As a result i narrowly missed striking other vehicles on multiple occasions. The average driving speed was under approximately 5 mph.in order for the brakes to stop the vehicle the brake pedal needs to be depressed with maximum pressure all the way to the floor. A noise can also be heard which i believed is the abs. Brake fluid level is not low and no obvious break line leaks were detected. Brakes appaearto function properly at normal highway and driving speeds.
Brake pedal gets extremely hard and feels like maybe abs tries to activate at times. Usually after pushing brake pedal a couple times in traffic or parking lots. I've almost driven into other vehicles and a building while pulling into a parking spot now several times. Today while coasting downhill toward a stop light i almost couldn't stop at the light! the truck, a 2016 silverado only has 57k miles on it. Hopefully the power train warranty will cover whatever is going on. I'm calling the dealership first thing in the morning
Lost vacuum on brakes at low speed or stopped.was informed by cheverolet dealership that the part i need is on backorder and could not be fixed at this time. Was also told that gm does not consider this problem to cause the truck to be unsafe even though i do not feel safe. They also informed me that they extended the warranty on this part because they were having so many issues with it. In my opinion it should be a recall and they should be able to provide me with the part needed to keep my truck safe to drive. The dealership made me sign something to be able to leave with my truck. Thanks you for considering this issue.
Hard petal at extremly low speeds since i purchased the vehicle.dealer did recall programming change but brakes are still an issue at very low speed and also very hard braking backing up my trailer or boat.
The contact owns a 2016 silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph, the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The contact indicated that when depressing the brake pedal to avoid the collision the message "service brake assist" had displayed and the brake pedal was hard while depressed. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
A lot of force needed to break at lower speed
Pulled into the parking lot at work at low speed when applying the brake to backup i noticed the brake pedal was very hard.i put my truck in reverse to back into a parkingspot, the brake was very hard and wouldn't stop. When hit the fence the truck finally stopped. Called the dearler where i got the truck, they said there's a recall and the brake system needed to be reprogrammed but that wasn't going to fix it. 2019 i took the truck in @ 60,000 miles, they did a reprogram and said they couldn't do any thing else unless there was another brake recall. The bad thing about this whole brake problem is gm knows what the problem is and won't fix it. Gm has and will fix the problem if you pay 12 to 1,600 dollars. Since they did the reprogram i have 80, 000 miles on the truck and at low speed at a traffic light or in parking lots the brake is very hard and the abs system will activate. Same problem different day. I need new bombers now. I guess gm is waiting for someone to get hurt.
Backed into a spot at work and when i put the brakes on to stop the truck was very hard to stop .. The break peddle didn't go down all the way ... I was on a flat surface
I have a 2016 silverado 1500 that having trouble with my breaks and powertrain. I try to stop the other day and the pedal got stiff and wasnt able to come to a complete almost hitting a pedestrian. Its been going on for awhile too. And my powertrain when i in the street or highway going 60mph it tends to shoot the rpms n go down and like the transmission want to shift down on its own.
While in stop and go traffic, the vehicle's brakes will not engage when they need to in order for the vehicle to stop correctly. This happens most times when vehicle has just let off the brake to then once again brake quickly, and the driver will need to push the brake all the way to the floor in order to engage proper braking. This does not happen all the time, but when it does, it is in stop and go traffic, or while the driver is in a drive thru, for example at the bank. The type of road conditions have no affect to this, it has happened on sunny days where the pavement is dry and rainy days. It has also happened when the vehicle is coming to a stop while in a down hill position with on coming traffic.
Brakes become very difficult to depress after 2-3 depressions of the pedal.happens mostly in parking lots and stop/go traffic.driver must apply great pressure to slow/stop vehicle.
Brake pedal became extremely hard to push. Unable to stop truck that was in motion in a parking lot.
1) brake system, yes. 2) the vehicle did not stop when the brake pedal was depressed (known issue with gm). 3) yes, gm provided an independent investigator and confirmed the brake system failure.4) yes. 5) no. On may 29, 2021, at approximately 9:35 am, i was traveling northbound on interstate 5 and exiting the freeway on highway 46. As i exited the freeway, there was slow moving traffic, i began to brake and experienced no braking at all and the abs kicked in. At that time, i was traveling at approximately 10 miles an hour when the impact accorded with the vehicle in front of me.
While driving at parking speed or drive through speed my brake pedal gets hard and i lose brake. I've almost wrecked a few times already because of this issue.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While making a left turn at a stop sign, the brake pedal failed to repsond along with loss of power sterring.the brakes did not engage, causing the contact to sideswipe another vehicle. The contact managed to steer the vehicle onto the shoulder and applied the emergency brake to come to a complete stop. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries reported and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed by roadside assistance to everett chevrolet buick gmc (161 us hwy 70 se, hickory, nc 28602, (828) 393-0876) where it was in the process of being diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The driver's door and front bumper were damaged. The contact's insurance company sent an adjuster to the dealer who deemed the vehicle with needing cosmetic repairs. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: [xxx]. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000. *dlparts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I am writing in concern to a brake pump malfunction and air bag sensor failure. The vehicle is available for inspection and has been inspected/confirmed by dealerships. The brake pump is bad and falls under the recall by gm but because it was over the mileage threshold, it didnā€™t qualify. The brakes donā€™t work well at all. The air bag sensor in the passenger seat went bad and now shut off all my airbags and gm wonā€™t add my vehicle to the recalls they have already issued on other vehicles for the same issues. My safety is at risk with my lack of air bags for us. Othersā€™ safety is risk due to the bad brake pump that i cannot guarantee will continue working, especially upon an immediate need to brake in any emergency situation. I have contact the manufacturer 2 separate times and they refuse to include my vehicle in their safety recalls. This is a serious matter. Someone could get hurt or worse. I had no warnings or indications that these were issues until they became one. I had to get quotes of $1200 to get these two issues resolved and donā€™t understand how this is a known problem but they refuse to help me in any way. Iā€™m not asking for a replacement truck or engine. Just functioning safety features!!! the truck is only 5 years old.
While driving at slow speeds such as parking or backing up, i frequently experience a very firm or hard brake pedal.this results in very little braking ability. The problem is beginning to become noticeable while driving in traffic which leads me to believe the problem may be getting worse.i have taken my vehicle to a maintenance shop where it was diagnosed as needing a vacuum pump for the brake system.the parts needed for the repair are on backorder and it is not known how long this may take. Due to the problem becoming more frequent i am currently not driving my vehicle until repairs can be made.
Brake pedal becomes very hard to push at low speed, almost unable to stop the truck most times. Happens on a daily basis
During slow traffic situation brake pedal becomes extremely hard and difficult to depress with loss of braking to the point of almost causing an accident.
There is a recall for my vehicles brakes, i have attempted to have this serviced as my brakes completely went out on me while driving my children this morning, i spent hours on the phone trying to get de luz to understand that i cannot safely drive my vehicle on the road as my brakes do not work correctly.. I was told that they only help i could get was if i drove my truck 80 miles to the nearest dealer where i would probably end up stranded as they also would not cover any rental vehicle. Not to mention, after calling this authorized dealer directly, they had informed me that they would not be able to schedule my service for at least 3-4 weeks from now. This is unacceptable. I have a valid and verified recall for a safety hazard and my only option is to "drive it and try not to crash (with my children- and then figure out my own ride 80 miles back to my home and then be car-less for who knows how long??)
Took my truck in for the brake issue recall because i was experiencing loss of brakes at low speeds.i would primarily see this when stuck in slow moving traffic or backing my truck up to the trailer.....etc.i took it into the dealership for the recall which they supposedly performed and fixed.well 2 months later i am still experiencing the same issue.i was pulling into the garage the other day and it wouldn't stop which caused me to hit my dirt bikes sitting in front of me.another time i was pulling up to a stop light and came to complete stop then i let off the brakes and then pressed them again and when i did this i had to mash it all the way to floor and it sounded like the abs were locking up or making a noise. I came so close to hitting a pedestrian in the cross walk.so in all since the "fix" 2 months ago i have had them fail and hit something in my garage, and 2 very close calls of almost hitting another car or person.i have experienced this since about 15k miles on the vehicle and currently i have 55k on it.this seems to happen very randomly as in i could do the same thing again (pull into garage) and it works fine one time then the next not work at all.
I was backing in to a lake to pull my boat out and almost went right in the lake.emergency brake saved me. This is the most dangerous situation i have ever been in in my 56 years of living. I am filing a law suit.
When driving at low speeds and on an incline, brake pedal become very hard to push and do not work.this has happened on several occasions and something needs to be addressed with gm.based on all the complaints on this site, majority of them are for the same reason involving the brake issue.each occassion vehicle driving at low speeds on city streets and when going down an incline at low speeds.
When driving 2016 silverado 1500, i put on brake and lost power to steering.dealership said there was no recall. Other time when touching the brake,lights got brighter on touch pad for radio and for over 200 miles while someone was in passenger seat,it said passenger airbag was off.while turning and applying brake,loose all steering.it happens while driving. Not sitting still.first time it happened,8 2as turning in the driveway and lost all power and had to slam on the brakes 2 times to avoid going into the ditch
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 assistwhen 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.
Vehicle brakes become very hard to depress making it hard to stop the vehicle i find this happens more at slower speeds and in reverse
When traveling at low speeds (estimate <10mph, usually happens when parking), when the brakes are applied, the brake pedal becomes stiff, does not depress as usual, do not apply force properly, and the vehicle continues moving. This issue has been experienced multiple times in both drive and reverse. This issue has resulted in bumping objects and cars.
When applying break pressure at slow speeds let's say under 10mph. If breaks are pressed repeatedly all break force is lost and break pedal becomes very hard.breaks do not become useable until you begin to accelerate. This occurred while in stop and go traffic and while in parking is lots.
Suddenly in early november, when i pulled into a parking lot or into the driveway in my home the brake pedal on the truck would suddenly become hard and incompressible. I nearly hit other vehicles and pedestrians because i couldn't brake at low speeds. I took it to the shop and was told the vacuum pump was not working properly and needed to be replaced.
I had just gotten home after visiting my parents which is approximately 100 miles (1 hour and 45 minutes) away from my house and i had no issues on the highway with my brakes. The drive was mostly all highway with an average speed limit of 65 and 75 mph. I went to park my truck at my house in which i back into my parking spot at home. When i went to stop, my truck's brakes worked properly but when i put it in reverse to back into the spot, that is when i went to go break, the brakes needed more force applied to the pedal in order to stop the vehicle. I then put my truck into drive to see if the problem was only when the vehicle was in reverse or all the time. I drove it a few feet forwards and back a few times and the problem persisted. General motors has issued a document (pit5361d) regarding this issue but has not issued a recall. A new vacuum pump was installed by the dealer which resolved the issue but was not covered under warranty.
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 issuehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0krkyevbcu0
Brake pedal turned rock solid. Very difficult to brake. This happened to me while i was driving with my family. Almost crashed into another car approaching the stop light. Gm needs to recall the vacuum pump asap. It's dangerous!
Power braking failure. Brake booster/vacuum pump has failure when driving at low speeds (backing/pulling into parking spots, driving in stop & go traffic, etc.). The brake pedal stiffens up, and an immense amount of pressure is needed to stop the vehicle. I have been able to recreate this issue many times in the past couple days, as has the chevrolet dealership that i purchased it from.this is similar to when a vehicle loses all electrical power and the abs is no longer active. When the brake is applied (very heavily), and the the pedal stiffens up, the truck still proceeds to move forward or backwards another foot or so prior to fully stopping. This is a huge safety issue, as i commonly drive in stop/go traffic to and from work, as well as park in a parking deck backing up to either other vehicles, or a concrete wall.
Recently purchased a 2016 chevy silverado in may 2018, and had 17,000 miles on it, in july 2018 noticed the brakes were hard to mash and pulsating while driving; it's not doing it all the time, off and on. Need to know if this a recall issue and what to do?
The brake pedal on my truck turns real hard and the brakes don't seam to engage as usual this happens at low speeds or in a downhill. This has happened in the highway on i15 coming to nevada from california on a downhill with traffic present and at low speeds. It has also happened in a drive thru and a parking lot truck was in motion and at low speeds i applied the brakes and the pedal turned hard/stiff and makes a screeching sound. The truck does come to a stop but travels more than usual when brake pedal is normal.
Brake effort drastically increased when backing out of parking space. Car was very difficult to stop and pedal would not depress further.
Believe the vacuum pump is faulty. Hard braking g or no brakes when going slow or go in reverse.
Brake pedal gets really hard and has become a safety issue with everyday driving. Turn off engine and resets and works again.
April 2019 letter from gm saying my brakes could possibly loose their vacuum assist. They do not want to fix the problem unless i have problems and extended the warranty to 6 years and 72,000.what a cop out, what if my brakes do not work properly in a tight stopping situation? i have attached a copy of the letter, please do not let gm play with our safety on a $52,000 vehicle or any vehicle.
I had taken my truck into the dealer to get an update for a barking issue. A month later i am noticing hard stops when braking. Contacted the dealer and they stated it's a vacuum pump issue. Im surprised that this is not a recall as there have been almost 500 complaints filed.

Power steering lost temporarily, lights went on and off fast and vehicle dash went black and truckdied while turning causing me to hit a car.moving about 5 to 10 mph
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
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.
I have been dealing with transmission issues since i bought the vehicle. There is dirt and sand inside my brake lights, rust under the seats, dirt and rust under the dash, brake calipers are horribly rusted and painted to be covered up by the selling dealership, wiring issues continue to arise and repaired by my mechanic. Trailer brake system is now failing. Steering is having issues now, either bad tie rods or bad cv joints. I have had complete loss of electronic power steering in the past. I suspect this vehicle was in a flood and the dealership covered it up. I have been dealing with this since january of 2019, and i have text records starting april 7th 2019. The vehicle was purchased from a family member's dealership and i bought an extended warranty. They have been less than helpful. Seeking legal help is my last resort.
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.
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.
First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note i have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds.starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so i started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work i got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. Currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.
My battery failed at 53,000 miles, and after changing the battery the electronic power steering would not work. I've also noticed electrical issues with the display panel, and the stereo changing channels. I've taken the car to the dealership in roseville, ca. And await details on repair.

Makiing a turn the steering locked and engine died 2 times and yesterday while diving on the freeway at 70 miles per hour it diedand managed to pull off the road. First time we allmost got hit by an other car . Im very, very concern . Truck has 19k miles
Car stalls and restarts when driving and turning. Car won't turn or go. Have almost wrecked multiple times. Says something about stabilitrak
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.
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.
Service power steering came on, car was completely unable to control with zero steering assist. Extremely dangerous almost hit multiple cars turning at low speed. Dealership claims the code c056d but is taking zero responsibility charging outrageous prices for an electrical unit that has failed in less than 70,000 miles.
As i was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the ac blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as i was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when i backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 silverado used in 2018 with 24k miles on it. The odometer just turned 50k two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service.i began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so i thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since i am out of warranty i have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly gm is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! i can not believe that gm knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? i also noted that the previous owner, right before i bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by gm and dealer when i bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now i can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!
Erratic steering and slow speed?s jerky car dies ground problem
While setting in a drive thru my steering wheel will jerk back and fourth and then my truck will die. I get several different messages on my dash stability track needs service, window needs rolled down then up, or trailer assist. This has happened multiple times.

1st i notice my info screen would black out and come back on then a service camera message would come on once in awhile. Now every once in awhile the stabilitirak will come on my screen and the steering wheel will jerk violently out of my hand. Very dangerous. Up to this point it has been at slow speeds...(under 30 mph).
My truck has a defective electric power steering system that is known to be defected as the same system was recalled for all other models equipped with ut but because my vehicle is a special version the company expects me the customer to pay for this 4 figure repair out of pocketknowing the system is defective the steering just quit out of nowhere for no apparent reason it worked fine then went to drive it and it didn't have power steering it was stationary at the time i got in to go to the store and steering was gone

Shaking at highway speeds
The truck will cut engine at any speed, totally losing power to breaks, steering, odometers etc. It mostly comes back on after a few seconds and sends a code of many different kids (service park assist, stabiitrac, roll window down and back up, trailer brake assist etc)this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled.this could happen during a critical driving move and could end up deadly.currently, there are 70,000 miles on this truck and out of standard warranty and will probably cost a lot to fix.(labor mostly)research shows that this is pretty common and very scary.gm even has a service bulletin out (18-na-161)showing that this is a common problem and is very dangerous, thus need to cover the recall right away.
While attempting to make a left turn the "trailer brake system" light appeared on the dash and the steering locked up causing me to drive straight into the woods nearly hitting a tree. The truck lost all power including lights and then everything came back on as normal and the steering was no longer locked up. A week prior while sitting still at a drive through window the same incident with the steering lock up and warning light happened while attempting to pull out. It was brief and all systems returned to normal.
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.
Steering will get very hard to turn for a second on low speed turns, stabilitrak will disable and dash will blank out
Intermittently loses power steering, and makes it extremely difficult to drive. A message pops up and says, service power steering drive with care. Happens most often the first time i use it on any given day. But occasionally happens while driving. It started about a week ago and has happened every day since then.
The truck will yank the steering wheel back and forth, multiple electrical errors will occur and the engine sometimes dies while the truck is moving at slow speeds and turning. A stabilitrack error shows onthe dash. This happens almost daily.this truck is accident free and appears in excellent condition.
While turning corners at slow speed, the vehicle steering locks up and vehicle stalls.the traction control (t/c) comes on.once the vehicle sit still for a while the vehicle can be started and begin driving again.the problemoccurs with no warning the problem always happens when turning the vehicle at low speed.thanks[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving down my street. Waiting to turn left to wait at stoplight. When going i couldn't turn the steering wheel. Traffic was coming from both sides when failure occurred. The only thing that saved my life was to continue straight through to the other side of the street. This incident could've killed me if was traveling at higher speeds. Total loss of control of the vehicle. This is a major safety issue.

Electronic power steering suddenly stopped working. Vehicle is a 2016 chevrolet truck with 25,852 miles. A very dangerous thing to happen with a male driver. I shudder to think what would have happen if the sudden loss of power steering had happened to my wife on a curvy road. Gm has recalled 1 million plus 14-15 gm vehicles over this problem. They say the 2016 is not in the recall. The $1,500 plus dollar cost is on me. Why is gm being allowed to continue selling vehicles with electronic steering?
While backing out of a parking spot the steering wheel jerked itself out of my hand, almost breaking my hand and locked up and couldn't be turned at all. While locked up it finally broke free for a bit and jerked itself out of my hands again.put it into drive to pull forward so i didn't get hit by other vehiclse in parking lot too. It did the same thing going forward, jerked itself from my hands, the radio even changed stations on its own. During this the dic showed a stabilitrak needs service message and worked ok once i finally got it to back out and go forward and as long as the vehicle wasn't shut off it ran ok, abut once shutoff, the same issues returned every time, even at the chevrolet dealer where it sits now in mission, tx these events occurred while stationary and also while vehicle was in motion which is downright dangerous.while this is not my video or my truck, this is exactly what i am explaining above:[xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2016 silverado steering wheel locks up and all of the power in my vehicle shuts off. It only happens when i'm turning but i cannot move the wheel in any direction. This problem is very dangerous and could lead to injury or death. I was almost involved in a head collision this morning because of it. Not to mention that not one chevrolet mechanic or auto dealer knows what i'm talking about or even acts like they care. This problem has been well documented in older model silverado's and 2016 silverados should be included. It's only a matter of time before someone is killed because of this problem and now their is documentation.
I have a 2016 silverado z71 4x4 has a lift kit lift kit was installed at 5200 miles truck now has 6000miles steering wheel when turning left or right at full turns u can feel the steering wheel pop and clunkthis problem has been present since 3500 miles one time i full turned into a parking lot and heard a loud noise and felt it on the steering wheel never payed attention and since then i felt the clunk pop when turning at low speed didn't pay attention and now with the lift on i can feel it pop more and it's getting annoying my friend also with a 2015 silverado 4x4 has the same problem with 10k miles when turning 90degress he gets the clunk and feels it skips a gear from the gears inside the rack pinion now i'm scared that or worried that something might. Happen to my steering and god forbid i might loss control of the truck
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.
My service power steering alert came up on my dic and lost power steering. When i got home i shut vehicle off and waited 10 minutes and started vehicle up and message was gone and i had power steering. Drove to work next day and was ok. Just before i arrived home, i got the same message and no power steering again. Same scenario as before, let vehicle sit and restart and everything working. I drove for 4 days and on the 5th day it did it again. I had taken it to a gm dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. At the time i took it to them, it was not working. They said that the module 'may' be bad or possibly the steering rack is bad. All codes were communication errors. When i got vehicle home, i checked for any loose wires under dash and the power steering came back. I told them that i know prior year trucks had this issue. I told them this and they said that i need to replace the power steering rack at my cost of 2600.00 that the vehicle has 100,000 miles on it and things go bad. I told them that it was highway miles and that shouldn't matter.
I will drive down the road and the display goes black on dash and i hear clicking sound and truck shuts off. Steering wheel has locked up making turns, left or right. Issues mostly happen when driving extended period of times but has cut off with short trips and parking, backing in. These issues started around dec 2019 and increased in frequency this year 2020.
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.

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.
At 63000 my truck started making clicking and popping noises in the front end. The truck was taken to the dealership and it was determined that the electronic rack and pinion was bad. This problem is exibited in 2014 gm trucks as well and the issue should be looked into.a failing asisted steering could be dangerous and cause big problems.

When driving, if i do something electrical, like applying the brakes or using my turn signal, the entire car electrical system shuts off for a second and sometimes jerks the steering wheel out of my hand.it usually restarts immediately on its own while driving. I've had it also while parked with just the radio on, that everything just died. Then it took a few tries before the truck engine turned over to try starting it
My 2016 silverado 1500 problems is the along with the loss of power steering, other electrical systems turns off including the radio, driver information center, door-lock cycle, ac and the stability control system. Abs and brake light turn on also hard to turn. Vehicle could be just on or driving around for hours or minutes time doesn't matter it could do it as soon it turn on those problems appear when the stabilitrak light comes on.
When usually doing three point turn my power steering goes out my radio goes out air conditioning everything and then comes right back on i'm pretty sure it's a voltage drop to the steering i see a lot of recalls on it and mines doing the same thing and also the stable track comes on and trailer system morning comes on has not ever done anything when driving usually when parking
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.
On jan 30, 2021 a check engine light appeared on start-up but had no noticeable difference in driving conditions or reading from dash gauges. Checked engine code and it read po6dd, took my truck to a gm dealer and they ran a test showing 20psi too low of oil pressure at the top side of the engine as a result of a failed oil pump solenoid. Was told this could have caused an engine failure. Cost to repair this issue is >$3,000.00. While the dealership was test driving my truck after repairing the oil solenoid the entire power steering unit failed. The entire power steering unit needs to be replaced and is nearly $1,500.00 to repair. These problems on a 5 year old vehicle with 103,490 miles seems like a major issue. I reached out to gm and they said that these issues are not under recall and will not be assisting in any costs involved in repairs.
Steering will jerk back and forth very sharply and dash information center goes blank when turning into parking spots. This has happened at speed with a/c and radio going blank.
While turning onto a road, i turned the steering wheel approximately 20% and suddenly the steering wheel kicked back hard nearly breaking my wrist. Once i pulled off i was able to repeat the process several times in either direction, i have video of this issue. When it kicked back, i would lose all electrical power to dash instrumentation and also upon power coming back on, i would get stabilitrak errors and the vehicle and traction controlled would be turned off.

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.

Steering is bad and it shack alotthe bkakes are not that good i slip on the carin front of me
Vehicle was stationary, in driveway of residence, running after being started with remote start.temperature outside was about 35f.front and rear window defrosters typically come on when the vehicle is remote started in the winter months.rear window of truck has three separate panes, the two outer panes are stationary and the middle slides opens via a switch in the overhead console.all windows in vehicle were closed.i was standing beside the vehicle when there was a loud cracking sound and small pieces of the rear window pane behind the driver fell to the ground.the window continued to make a cracking sounds for several minutes after the initial sound.there is a slight smell of electrical wire burning inside the vehicle very close to the bottom left side of the damaged pane of glass.despite the following information, gm claims that the vin of the vehicle is not subject to the recall.https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/mc-10171416-9999.pdfhttps://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/7/vrdb-bdrv/search-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng&mk=0&md=0&fy=0&ty=9999&ft=&ls=0&sy=0&rn=2019325&cf=searchresult&pg=50https://www.autoblog.com/2019/07/12/chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra-defroster-circuit-recall/
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.
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.
I was driving to work in the morning with no other traffic on the road and randomly the passenger side rear window blew out. It was winter and the rear defroster was on at the time. I smelled burning wires and shut everything off but my headlights and heard a loud pop when the window blew out. This happened at 4am while driving on the highway.
Factory installed running boards become unattached to vehicle due to holding clip nuts rusting at weld.luckily personal inspection (to track down a nuisance rattle) found failure before it became unattached.chevy only solution was for me to buy new running boards (which prime chevrolet parts department said contained the same type of mounting hardware).no individual replacement parts were offered.
Vehicle is 2 years old 26k miles & black paint is flaking. Looks like white overspray where paint has flaked. White spots everywhere. Metal is exposed. Never had a vehicle flake paint like this. I do not drive on gravel roads. Unacceptable for a vehicle of this age & price.
Leaving a chiefs game in kansas city i was waiting in traffic.we slowly moved forward and my brake pedal went to the floor and would not stop the vehiclei ran into the truck in front of me . There was no damage to his bumper but i got a dent the size of a baseball. Later on the way home i relised that it was still doing in at low rpms so i took it to the dealership amd they said my vacume pump was going out!! at 45000 miles???? the mechanicsaid it was a very common problem.
Recently on 12/24/2019 my truck started leaking on the roof interior above the drivers seat. It happened again on 1/1/2020 and was much worse from the side drivers door to acrossthe roof to the middle counsel area. The truck was taken in to a mechanic and a body shop where it was determined that it was the 'shark fin' radio antenna causing the leak. The truck has under 35,xxx miles and just hit only 4 years old in age. I contacted gm to see if they could help me as the body shop expressed there has been other gm trucks in town with the same issue that have reported the exact same problem recently. I called 3 different people at gm to seek help with warranty or any coverage to help with the problem but they all expressed there was no help.
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.
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.
The assist tailgate no longer works. The tailgate is supposedtolower slowly. Now it just slams down. The first time it happened it slammed down on my leg. I have the extendedwarranty that does cover this,however the repair doesn't last. We've had it to the dealership 3 times and it is still broken. They know what the issueis ,but say they are not authorizedto repair the actual issue. Please help
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle rattled and vibrated abnormally. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was referred to webb chevy plainfield (16140 s lincoln hwy, plainfield, il 60586, (815)261-0118) to have the vehicle road tested. The mechanic road tested the vehicle however, a failure was not determined. The mechanic also inspected the tires, transmission, the driveshaft, and the rear axles, but found no issues related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 750. Consumer stated he is stll experiencing vibration and dealer did not have any repairs for this condition.
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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the transmission would not shift properly. The failure was more evident while downshifting. Also, while turning, the rear wheels would randomly seize. The cause of the failures were not determined. In addition, the rear driver's door would not lock. Bowser chevrolet (201 7th ave, beaver falls, pa) stated that the door lock actuator was faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000.
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!
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 myselfin my opinion this is just greed & lack of caring for loyal customers that keep gm in business."remember the bailout"
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.

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. *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
Dive line vibration, not from out of balance wheels. It occurs around 70 mph and lives in and out. The shake/vibration is always present but gets fluctuates at a continuous speed. Goes from a slight floor vibration to the entire center console shaking water out of its cup. Feels like the wheels are going to come off the back. It can be seen that the rear end is shaking left to right from the drivers mirror.

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 and did not resolve the problem.replacing the springs has not permanently resolved the issue.gm truck forums indicate other owners of this model and year+/- report the similar experiences in the chevrolet silverado 1500 and sierra model gm pickups.some owners have replaced factory parts with aftermarket leaf springs with success in permanantly resolving the issue and concern.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the contact heard an abnormal cracking noise coming from the rear passenger and driver sides. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to dyer chevrolet vero beach (1000 us-1, vero beach, fl 32960, (772) 617-4793) where it was diagnosed that the rear led spring needed to be replaced.

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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle rattled and vibrated abnormally. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was referred to webb chevy plainfield (16140 s lincoln hwy, plainfield, il 60586, (815)261-0118) to have the vehicle road tested. The mechanic road tested the vehicle however, a failure was not determined. The mechanic also inspected the tires, transmission, the driveshaft, and the rear axles, but found no issues related to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 750. Consumer stated he is stll experiencing vibration and dealer did not have any repairs for this condition.
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.
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.
My truck shakes from the moment we pull off from a stop and shakes until we get up to 70mph. We had an alignment and that did not fix anything.gm is fully aware of the issue and has done nothing except put out a service bulletin for diagnostics that costs an arm and a leg!we cannot drive this vehicle because we are afraid we will lose control.this happens on paved and dirt roads and inside city limit streets (30 mph) and interstate roads (60mph+). We are also afraid to drive the truck fearing that it would get worse and the driveshaft might drop.$60k truck sitting in our driveway wasting away.
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
When truck is traveling at highway speeds (60 and above) the truck shakes violently and anything in the cup holders shakes violently. It is a very common issue from what i can tell and chevrolet has done nothing to attempt to fix the issue. Something should be done.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving approximately 60 mph, the steering wheel veered to the left and right. The contact lost control of the steering. In addition, the contact noticed that the left and right upper control arms fractured and made an abnormal noise when driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
From speeds of 60 to 80 mile per hour there isaninconsistent vibration or shake felt in the whole truck.
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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 70 mph or higher, the vehicle shook. The higher the speed, the more it vibrated. The vehicle was taken to boch chevrolet (381 providence hwy, norwood, ma 02062, (781) 332-4226) several times. The wheels were re-balanced, but the failure occurred when the dealer test drove the vehicle. The manager stated that the vehicle performed normally. The contact called the manufacturer, who had a senior manager look at the case. The contact was referred him to another unknown dealer where the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 7,582.

The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that an abnormal banging noise was heard from the rear of the vehicle. The noise was a distraction to the contact's hearing. The vehicle was driven to coughlin chevrolet (1850 n 21st st, newark, oh 43055, (740) 334-4873), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.
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.
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.
Air conditioning compressor went out and there is documented failure of ac conmpressors failing on these units but no recall was issued for this vehicle
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 adistracted driving situation. This happens every other startup. ( if starts are more than a few minuets apart.)
Air conditioning compressor had cracked. This is aknown problem on these vehicles and gm does nothing about it.im sure there are thousands of complaints.truck is 3 years old with 50k miles.fair to have to pay a $1,000+ for gms neglect? please step in here, a lot of people are getting hurt by this.no recall has been issued and clearly it warrants one.thank you for your time.
Passenger right front vent doesn't blow very much air at all times...it has never blowed as much air as the other vents.
The transmission always runs hot. I took it when it was under warranty to get fix and was told the transmission should run about 250' i don't think this is true now my warranty is over and the problem never went away
Dive line vibration, not from out of balance wheels. It occurs around 70 mph and lives in and out. The shake/vibration is always present but gets fluctuates at a continuous speed. Goes from a slight floor vibration to the entire center console shaking water out of its cup. Feels like the wheels are going to come off the back. It can be seen that the rear end is shaking left to right from the drivers mirror.
The radio fail to provide audio warning when the key has been left in the ignition and the door is open-door when the driver does not fasten their seat belt ,driver is at greater risk of injury in a crash.driver can't hear when the turn signal and radio when dead .
First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note i have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds.starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so i started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work i got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. Currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.

Constantly having freon leaks in the same place and appears to be a problem forthousands of others
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.
Ac condenser leaks freon on welded area. Recharded 3 times, first last about a week,second about 3 days and third 1 day !now it will cost$800 + to replace it!
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 myselfin my opinion this is just greed & lack of caring for loyal customers that keep gm in business."remember the bailout"
I have had this hard jerking and slamming of my transmission in my truck since i purchased it brand new. It occurs when going from reverse to drive it will hesitate and not go into gear and then it slams and jerks the vehicle violently with a aloud crack noise of the gears slamming together. It also occurs when i am in between the speed of 40-50 mph. I will be driving down the road and the truck will slam into gear while driving. It also had a very high idol and shakes the truck. I have brought my truck into the chevrolet dealership for these issue 5+ times now and contacts the gm to help get my issue solved and they just can't not fix the issue. I don't want to get stranded with my family if the transmission decided to break or cause trouble. I have had multiple occurrences of this issue happening.
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!
A/c condenser failure:as i live in a climate that experiences snow and below-freezing temperatures more often than 80 degree days, i only us my air conditioning maybe 5 months of the year.i went to use my a/c this summer and realized it was blowing warm air.i did some research and decided to just add more r-134a with dye to troubleshoot the problem.i found using a uv flashlight that the a/c condenser has a pretty large crack in it in the same location as on the chevy suburban's and tahoe's.it is visible through the grill towards the drivers side.as the quote for the job at the dealership is well over $500, i decided to just roll my windows down all summer and replace the a/c condenser myself over the winter.i am currently gathering my parts to do so.apparently it is a 4-6 hour job, but aside from plowing, school, and work, i should be able to eventually get it done.this is frustrating that a (at the time) 4 year-old vehicle has so many defects that i will eventually have sunk $5k+ into for uncommon repairs on a 100k mile, 4 year-old truck.
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.

Faulty air conditioning condenser has cracked at the driver side weld. The system now leaks and does not cool the cab of the truck.
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 backing up at low speeds to hook up to a trailer on an incline or even backing up with to no trailer. Multiple times you lose the power brakes which is a severe safety hazard especially when backing up to something. Multiple times i've had to stand on the pedal as hard as possible to stop the truck from hitting the trailer. The pedal has the feeling of no power brakes. This happens at low speed which would be typical backing up to hook onto a load.
2016 chevrolet silverado high country crew cab standard box a/c condenser (gm part number 84802253) has cracked and failed at approximately 80,000 miles, resulting in (gm part number 12356150) refrigerant leaking to atmosphere. The affect component is very similar to the tsb 17336 from gm on like vehicles. There were no warnings or indicators that signaled that this component had failed. This component was inspected by a certified manufacture dealer and found to be faulty, therefore, releasing harmful refrigerant into the atmosphere.
I turned on the rear defrost to the vehicle.within about 30 seconds, i saw smoke rising from the center part of the rear window as if the defroster had started a fire.i immediately turned the rear defrost off and the smoke ceased.within a mater of seconds, the right panel of the rear window popped very loudly as it shattered, presumably from the fire.i was driving on a rural road when this occurred.i do have a power rear window on the vehicle and there is a recall already in canada for chevrolet silverado's of my model year with the rear power window having fires started by the rear defroster.
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.
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 shakingthat 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.
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.
The a/c in my 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500 stopped working on 5/15/2019i took the vehicle to the dealer on 5/16/2019 to have looked at.i was told that there is a pinhole leak in the condenser.i was charged 120.00 to have the problem diagnosed.the cost to repair was estimated at over 900.00what upsetting is that i'm now finding out that this is a known problem that gm is totally aware of.
Oem a/c condenser failed.crack at fitting.a/c system worked with no issues and suddenly no longer put out any cooling or defrosting / defogging.first noted a start up in the morning.insufficient defogging while driving. Recall on other affect gm trucks / suv with same oem condenser does not cover the 2016 silverado 1500.cost for repair was $870.52
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'
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 foreither 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.

From speeds of 60 to 80 mile per hour there isaninconsistent vibration or shake felt in the whole truck.
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.
While driving on the interstate there is a bad vibration above 70 mph
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.
A/c condensor cracked like thousands of others. $1000 repair. Chevrolet recalled suvs with the same system but not trucks. When will chevrolet make this right
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.
Air conditioning system leaks from compressors and condensers because the system is not able to contain the pressures. Chevrolet has issued technical bulletin due to the large number of incident. Parts are hard to locate due to the number of faulty parts being replaced.
The silverado "myllink" information center changes screens randomly while driving. This creates a distraction to the drive as they return to the desired screen and setting. The screens and functions change every minute or so.
1) cold starts, put truck in gear (forward/reverse) truck does not move and then all of a sudden truck lurches into direction selected. Velocity of truck acceleration is enough to spin tires on gravel, grass and pavement. 2) after extended highway driving and ci.ing to a stop (exit ramp) and trans slips upon initial start and shifting.3) stop and go driving on express (45 mins.) when traffic started to move and removing foot from brake, truck rolls and when shifting into next gear, trans abruptly shifts and squawk tires. Had to allow truck to start rolling while keeping foot on brake and keeping truck from lurching forward and squealing tires and hitting vehicle in front of me.4) when passing or accelerating onto expressway, can feel the propulsion fluttering.* problem is ongoing and experienced since new. Numerous trips to dealership and recalibrated shifting and problem continues. I have pics of tire spin upon initial engagement of trans and abrubtly accelerating vehicle .
There was a hissing sound and smoke in the area of the rear power sliding window, i had read about this concern online and was able to shut my rear defroster off before it blew out the back window but not everyone is that lucky. Gm has a bulletin about a small water leak in the same area but does not acknowledge that it is related to the rear window shattering. The water leaks in directly onto the power components of the glass, creates a short that overheats the glass, and ultimately ends with the rear glass shattering. I was lucky enough to catch mine before it blew out but that could cause a hazard for anyone sitting in the back seat, i do not feel that there should be a recall but some sort of extended coverage on this component for those who express the same complaint. Even if you catch it before the window blows out, the damage from the short is only fixed by replacing the entire rear window assembly (that is what they did to mine). Concern could be moving or stationary as long as the rear defroster is in use. Link to water leak bulletin: https://gm.oemdtc.com/8793/water-leak-under-back-glass-from-power-sliding-window-2014-2016-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierrawhere the leak is identified is exactly where i saw the smoke come from.

It feels like i'm hitting potholes that are a foot deep when traveling down the road it happens in various times i could be traveling on the highway and it scares me to the point where i have to pull over the vibration is in a floorboard the gas pedal the brake pedal it continues to get worse everyday i've had it to the shop one to two times a month for over a year. When traveling on a regular county road it happens it happens on the highway it happens in parking lots the vibration that i'm feeling from the floorboard into the gas pedal the brake pedal is a all-the-time thing at a idle it has a bad vibration coming from the motor the shop cannot find out none of my problems i've had it in the shop and spent thousands of dollars on in and no one source of vibration and unknown source of why it feels like i have a flat spot where i'm hitting potholes all the time from the front end i've had three sets of tires on it
At speed above 50 miles an hour there is vibration in the vehicle and it get wore the faster you go and at 80 miles an hour there is a roar and the whole vehicle is vibrating badly and i am afraid to drive the vehicle. This is a big problem and chevrolet has had my truck for 5 work days and has yet to figure out what it wrong.
Air conditioning issues. Not blowing cold air.
I'm having the transmission replaced in a 2016 silverado! i'm 61 years old and take care of my vehicles. After reading car blogs, i see there are many complaints about the same thing! the truck jerks so violently that i'm afraid i've been hit by another car or that i may move forward and hit another vehicle. This is ridiculous that gm is aware of this and have not fixed this issue. I work hard for my money and do not feelthat i should be responsible for this replacement. Please help!
The fuel pump and ac compressor failed just outside of bumper to bumper warranty.
On feb 26 i had my regular oil change done along with 27 vehicle inspection, 2 weeks later on sat march 13 did a quick errand and came back home, a little after i noticed caramel fluid under my truck, when i open the hood i automatic saw a leak coming out of the reservoir so i opened it and notice the same caramel fluid inside and i knew it's wasn't a good sign. I took my truck back to the dealership on monday march 15, after they inspected it i was told their was an internal break in the radiator and that's what cause the caramel fluid according to their technician. Dealership contact my extended warranty and they are repairing and covering most of the cost with the exception of the hoses cause they are not covered. Hoses are not broken or have any holes they're replacing them cause they caught contaminated because of the internal break. Don't see why i shoulde responsible for the difference of $800
The truck shakes while in slowing down or in a stop .....and the wifi doesn't work i keep i been calling already for months to chevrolet onstar for the resolution and they keep saying it fixed and it not
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 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 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.

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 than happy to take them for a ride to show them. For when this happened. It started in 2nd week of july to present. It only had around 300 miles when it started.
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.
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 shakingthat 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.
While driving, i had the rear defroster on.i smelled burning plastic, so i rolled-down my windows to vent the fumes.about 2 minutes after i rolled them back up i heard a loud 'bang' and saw that my rear windshield, on the passenger side, had completely shattered, with a fist-sized hole right in the middle of it.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that there was an abnormal odor in the rear of the vehicle and the rear driver's side window exploded. There were no injuries. The contact researched the failure online and found that a faulty defrost fuse could be the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to northland chevrolet (1420 ogden ave, superior, wi 54880, (715) 392-5111) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The contact was informed that the insurance company would cover the repairs. The vehicle was taken to kolar chevrolet buick gmc (4770 w arrowhead rd, hermantown, mn 55811, (218) 727-7481), but the failure was not diagnosed and the contact was informed that the failure would be covered by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was 43,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to hesitate when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to st clair chevrolet buick gmc (located at 3050 king rd, china township, mi 48054, (810) 637-1546), but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure continued. The contact had both rearview mirrors and the back up camera replaced, and an unknown sensor and the vacuum bag were reprogrammed twice. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,967.
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
The defrost function does not prevent ice bulid up on windshieldand 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.
Rear window shattered unexpectedly. Rear defogger enabled. Noted a burning smell in rear of truck when it happened. Truck has rear power slide window. Driver side panel was the piece that shattered. Truck was parked but had been running for a few minutes. Temperature in mid 20s
Cold weather (25-30 degrees?) on 12/24, so remote started truck and began driving (rear defroster auto starts).heard slight sizzle noise, but couldn't figure out what it was...then wife (riding in back) heard it get worse, then a little smoke, then rear-window on driver side popped/cracked/shattered (truck has a sliding rear window, so 3 sections).didn't blow out, but is completely shattered.taped it to keep pieces from blowing apart.talked to dealer and gm customer care, and they advised of an open customer satisfaction program for this issue, but it only applies to vehicles in certain states (cold weather)...including mi, but i'm 1 hour south in northern in.#n192265660-01 is the program number (rear window defroster thermal events - us only _(mar 25, 2020).the problem also seems to be more common in canada where a full recall is in effect.at this point, however, gm customer care (case # 9-6442774509) says they can't do anything and referred me back to dealer...who i will assume will refer me back to cust care again.i'm waiting on their response.makes no sense that they will reimburse only for vehicles in certain states.i'm in the same cold climate as michigan and many of the other impacted states.looking for reimbursement of costs to repair, but for now i'm waiting to make sure someone will pay for it.this is a known issue that gm is refusing to reimburse (even though they are clearly willing in many other states).any suggestions?
N192220470, a recall supposedly only in canada fully describes the problem.my rear glass exploded when i turned a corner.no objects hit it, no previous damage.
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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 40 mph, a loud winding noise could be heard.

Sudden loss of steering including front end shake and braking problem.vehicle only has 6000 miles and both country club motors and chevrolet corp.have denied and fault of there's.i am a auto tech of 26 years and ase certified in steering and suspension believe that defective front suspension parts are very much to blame but i am getting the run around from all ends.i believe this issue is a cover up and really needs attention
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.
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.
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. *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.

Driving at 2 miles an hour or 65 miles an hour i have an issue with a bad vibration and a shaking coming unknown source. It feels like i'm hitting potholes that are a foot deep when traveling down the road it happens in various times i could be traveling on the highway and it scares me to the point where i have to pull over the vibration is in a floorboard the gas pedal the brake pedal it continues to get worse everyday i've had it to the shop one to two times a month for over a year.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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 myselfin my opinion this is just greed & lack of caring for loyal customers that keep gm in business."remember the bailout"
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.

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.
The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the transmission would not shift properly. The failure was more evident while downshifting. Also, while turning, the rear wheels would randomly seize. The cause of the failures were not determined. In addition, the rear driver's door would not lock. Bowser chevrolet (201 7th ave, beaver falls, pa) stated that the door lock actuator was faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 70,000.
