ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
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.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

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.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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'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 FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPLACEMENT. PLEASE HELP!

STEERING
SILVERARDO 2016 1500 PICK UP TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING. TRUCK IS IN FINE OPERATING CONDITION, THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR STEERING FOR THIS YEAR. WIFE WAS DRIVING. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY EXIT. PULLED OVER. I WENT OUT TO GET THE TRUCK LOOKED FOR ANY ISSUES. RESTARTED TRUCK POWER STEERING WORKED THEN FAILED AGAIN AFTER 5 MINUTES. DROVE THE TRUCK TO A PARKING LOT. RESTARTED TRUCK AND POWER STEERING WORKS. WHILE SOME PERSONS MAY BE ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK TO A SAFE SPOT, IT IS DIFFICULT AND TAKES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF UPPER BODY STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. HOW DO I SAFELY LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR? I AM WORRIED THAT THIS PREVIOUS DEFECT/ISSUE WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET. THANK YOU

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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 NHTSA LOOK 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. *TR

POWER TRAIN
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 STARTED JERKING . 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. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
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. *TR
