ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'm a couple of different occasions I went to start the truck and it would not turn over and it flashed a warning about servicing the stabiltrak and the trailer brake system. Both of these systems checked out fine by the dealership. All the online forums I have seen seem to indicate that this is an issue with the wiring harness not being properly mounted and chafing causing shorts in The wire system. I've been to the dealership twice and they claim to not find it but I don't know how hard they're looking at the wiring harness.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Infotainment screen goes crazy at random times while vehicle is in use. Screen jumps around and randomly changes, radio stations change, dashboard speed display changes screens as well. This is a very bad distraction while driving. I have video of this saved on my phone. I was able to pull over to record it yesterday (9/28/21). This problem has been happening on and off at random times for over a month. I have spoke to my dealer about it, and made an appointment for evaluation. I have also contacted Chevrolet service to see if it will be repaired at no cost as a safety issue.

STEERING
I was going around a traffic circle when the power steering suddenly went out with no warning causing me to almost hit a stone wall. I received a code. Something about the steering gear and the steering position sensor. It appears to be the same problem as the 2015 Colorado has but the dealership would not acknowledge it being the case. This repair cost me over $2000.00 and almost caused a serious accident. Please get Chevy to add the 2016 vehicles to the 2015 recall. I'm guessing not enough people have died from this safety issue yet!

ENGINE
While traveling down the highway at 70-75 MPH a wrist pin failure occurred. This lead to a rod punching a hole in the bottom part of the engine, obviously I lost all engine power and had to coast to the side of the road in traffic. Looking online there are wrist pin studies conducted by Geen diesel engineering company that shows obvious manufacturing defect in gm wrist pins. Upon further research I have found that this is a common failure with the 2.8 liter diesels. I contacted gm they informed me that this is not a documented problem which has set me back about $14,000. I found out that I’m not alone from what I have found it seems to affect 2016-2017 models. I’ve seen failures occurring within 7000 miles.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Ignition Key Cannot Be Removed and/ or Does Not Rotate to the Off Position. It started about three weeks ago and has gotten progressively worse. The engine turns off but the vehicle remains energized. Repeat start, gear cycling, steering wheel movement and holding the shifter detent randomly allows the key to be moved to the fully off position and removed. Reference GM bulletin PI1429B. Applies to my 2019 as well. Dealer did no research when I took it in and could not reproduce at time of inspection. Said it was out of warranty and without being able to reproduce, would have to have a tech try to reproduce then diagnose.
