ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE INFO PANEL IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH AND ALL STEERING CAPABILITY IS LOST. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND THEN RECONNECTING IT. I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTINUE MONITORING THE PROBLEM. I'M OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M DRIVING, SINCE, LIKE I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED, YOU COMPLETELY LOSE THE ABILITY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. OTHER MESSAGES POP AS WELL. "TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIRES SERVICING." "TRAILER BRAKE REQUIRES SERVICING." MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL FEATURES ON THE DASH QUIT WORKING.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. IT HAD 4 MILES ON IT. MY PREVIOUS TRUCK I OWNED FOR 10 YEARS. A 2000 GMC SIERRA, WHICH I MAINTAINED METICULOUSLY. I SOLD IT 452K MILES ON THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. SINCE I PURCHASE THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION HAS SHIFTED HARD ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. I WON'T WRITE A REVIEW EXACTLY LIKE ALL THE OTHER TRANSMISSION REVIEWS, BUT THEY ARE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. GM NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS WITH A SUB PAR PRODUCT. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT ANY TRUCK I WANTED, AND I UNFORTUNATELY BOUGHT A SILVERADO WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT DOESN'T FUNCTION THE WAY A NEWER ONE SHOULD. ASIDE FROM THE MECHANICAL ISSUES IT CAUSES, IT IS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING WITH PASSENGERS IN THE TRUCK. IT NEVER FAILS, THEY ALL SAY THE SAME EXACT THING...'WHAT WAS THAT?'...... GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT LIKE WE STOOD BEHIND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY WHEN WE PAID YOU.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
SQUEAKING NOISE UNDER BOX. DEALER TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET A REPLACEMENT LEAF SHACKLE FOR LEFT SIDE. IT DID STOP THE NOISE. MY TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD SHIFT IN GEARS WHEN TAKING OFF AND COMING TO A STOP. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HANG UP SHIFTING FROM LOW GEAR T A HIGHER GEAR AND DOES THE SAME WHEN COMING TO A STOP. SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. NEW TRUCK, NOW HAS 21,000 MILES BUT WORST INVESTMENT I HAVE MADE SWITCHING FROM A FOREIGN TRUCK BACK TO MADE IN AMERICA. THIS HARD SHIFTING TAKES PLACE WHEN STARTING OFF OR COMING TO A STOP ON ANY HIGHWAY OR STREET.

ENGINE
STARTER IS BAD, DRAGS WHEN COLD OR ITS DRAWN THE BATTERY DOWN TO WHERE IT WON'T START. JUMPED IT ONCE, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THAT 650 COLD CRANKING AMP IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE STARTER. WE NEED TO GO TO A 1000 COLD CRANKING AMP PLUS A 200 AMP ALTERNATOR. OR WE COULD JUST REPLACE THE STARTER WITH A GOOD ONE.

STEERING
DRIVING BACK FROM THE HOLIDAYS IN ANOTHER STATE. STOP TO GET GAS, I CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND PUT FUEL ADDITIVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH IS 75 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING GETS TIGHT AS I WAS NEXT TO A ROLLING SEMI . I STOP AT A REST AREA TO SEE IF I CAN FIND ANY VISIBLE PROBLEMS BUT I COULD NOT. AT LOWER SPEEDS THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE WORSE. HIGH SPEEDS THE STEERING WAS TIGHT AND TRYING TO SWITCH LANES IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE STEERING LOCKED. ABOUT 25 MILES LATER THE PROBLEM. SEEMED TO BE BETTER BUT EVENTUALLY CAME BACK AND THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BAD AGAIN. THE HIGHWAY I WAS ON (I20) WAS RECENTLY RE DONE SO IT WAS SMOOTH ROAD. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND CAN ONLY ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EPS SYSTEM.

STEERING
2018 SILVERADO CREW CAB LT HAS HAD A STIFF STEERING ISSUE FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. HAS 11 THOUSAND MILES. CARRIED TO LYNN LAYTON CHEVROLET THE FIRST TIME, FOUND 0 ISSUES. CARRIED BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE TRUCK AND SAID HE EXPERIENCED THE STIFFNESS WHILE DRIVING. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY STATING THEIR WAS A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY WHEN I'VE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH STARTING VEHICLE OR DIMMING LIGHT. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP AGAIN STILL HAS SAME STEERING STIFFNESS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT. TOOK THE TRUCK BACK A THIRD TIME THE SAME DAY AS MY SECOND ATTEMPT TO FIX AND LYNN LAYTON CHEVROLET IN DECATUR, ALABAMA STILL HAS MY VEHICLE. SERIOUSLY CONSIDER TRADING AT THIS POINT TO AVOID ANY MORE CONFLICT.
