At around 80,000 my transmission in my truck started given me problems. I now have to replace the entire transmission. I am the only owner of my truck. One pays a lot of money for a brand new truck only to have to pay $6,000 for a new transmission.

On June 12, 2022 I experienced a full blown transmission failure in my 2016 Chevrolet Silverado at 75,000 miles on the vehicle. The defect represents a safety risk to General Motors consumers and makes the vehicle equipped with the defective transmission unsafe and uncomfortable to drive. The transmission failed on a busy freeway creating unsafe conditions for myself, others in the vehicle and other motorists and top speed of 28 mph. . The vehicle is in for repairs currently and estimated cost of $5,400. As I researched the problem it became obvious that this is an ongoing problem with several model years of General Motors vehicles and the manufacturer is not taking corrective actions as needed. We should not wait for consumers to risk their lives and possibily loss of life before the problem is corrected with a recall for defective transmissions in these vehicles. Lets not let profits rule over consumer safety.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Remote started my vehicle in the morning, made it about a mile down the road, and the center console started fire. Looks to be the wiring/wireless charger on top of the console. Zero warning lamps or warning labels. Safely made it to the side of the road after getting out of traffic, but inhaled quite a bit of white, bitter smoke.

SERVICE BRAKES
I have tooken my 2016 Silverado 5.3 that I bought brand new 4 times to get fixed for a brake recall, it is still not fixed even though in their records it’s fixed, I have had several near misses but I am always ready with the e brake. The brakes get super hard out of no where and I can’t brake at all. Recently I hit 2 vehicles because of this recall. I was backing out of my home and when I tried to brake I hit a car parked in the side of the road, if they would’ve been in the car I would’ve killed the owner of the vehicle for sure. I put it in drive to get out of her car and the brake didn’t work again and crashed into the vehicle in front of me again because of the brake recall. I was injured both time and I am paying for these peoples cars and other stuff. I have been talking to several lawyers just haven’t decided which one I am going to go with. I am scared for my life to drive that truck now and it is sacred to me and my family as my dad died from COVID and it was his truck

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
"Trailer Brake System" (TBS) warning indicator malfunction. Out of nowhere the TBS warning message and chime started malfunctioning. The malfunction is irregular and often so frequent the vehicle is un-drivable. The rapid warning display and chime is very distracting and presents a very significant distraction resulting in unsafe operation of the vehicle. I have multiple videos of the malfunction, ranging from and occasional chime to a constant chime. Unfortunately they are too large to upload.

My vehicle has a very good service record. The transmission failed and had to be replaced at 93,800 miles. My research has revealed this is a common problem with this make/model. The transmission has been replaced and I have filed a claim with GMC. I do not have an extended warranty. However, this appears to be a common problem.
