POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT 6 MONTHS AGO 7000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING FELT LIKE I DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS, I TOOK IF TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THAT WAS NORMAL. THEY CHANGED THE FLUID AND SAID DRIVE IT FOR 500 MILES. NOW I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE EVERY TIME I START IT AND THERE IS A BANG IN THE TRANSMISSION, THEY WANTED ME TO LEAVE IT AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOU HAVE A 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON YOU DRIVE TRAIN. TOLD THEM ME AND MY WIFE WERE GOING ON VACATION AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THIS PURCHASE I MADE. WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE. *TR

AFTER GETTING BACK UP TO SPEED THE MESSAGES POPPED BACK UP, SO PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK AGAIN. THE MESSAGES DID NOT COME BACK ON THE REST OF MY DRIVE. MY TRUCK HAS POPPED UP THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE BEFORE BUT NEVER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ONE DAY MY VEHICLE STARTED GETTING A LITTLE SHAKE. SO I PULLED IN TO AN OLD WELDING SHOP I USED TO WORK AT. I ASKED MY OLD BOSS IF HE WOULD GET IN THE TRUCK, TO DO A LITTLE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. BASICALLY GUESS WHAT COULD BE WRONG. HE SAID SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT, AND TOLD ME TO JACK UP THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. BEFORE I EVEN DID, I NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE SPARE TIRE. I THEN LOOK TO THE AXLE HOUSE GROUP, AND IT WAS BROKE IN HALF. HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A MECHANIC FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. HE SAID, 'THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE BREAK THERE HOUSE GROUP. MY TRUCK ALSO HAS A RECALL FOR THE REAR AXLE.

STEERING
EARLIER THIS WEEK A "CHECK STEERING, BRING IN FOR SERVICE", AND THE STABILLITRAC LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WAS TIGHT, THIS WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED IN TO CHEVROLET AND THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. WE FOUND OUT IT WAS TEMPORARY BECAUSE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 50 TO SEE HER PARENTS WHEN THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING FROZE UP. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE INTERSTATE, NO POWER STEERING, AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP. SUPPOSEDLY THIS ISSUE WAS CORRECTED BACK IN 2016 BUT HERE IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SOMEONE'S POWER STEERING FREEZING UP LIKE THAT, LET ALONE ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WE COULD GET KILLED. IT WOULD SEEM POOR ENGINEERING ON CHEVYS PART IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS GOING ON. AND THE PROBLEM IS NATION WIDE. ARE THEY GOING TO PUT IN A PART THAT WILL FAIL IN 3 YEARS, WHILE GOING 70 MPH??? SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 2019 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUES ON MAY 2020 WITH THE POWER STEER - WHILE I WAS DRIVING I COULDN?T MORE OR STEER THE WHEEL WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO TURN IT OFF AND ON TILL IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY. SO I CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK AND YES IT WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON 2016. SO IF IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEER, IS THERE ANY WAY IT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIALED PROBLEM!! *TR
