ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE "TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM" LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO THE WOODS NEARLY HITTING A TREE. THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING LIGHTS AND THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AS NORMAL AND THE STEERING WAS NO LONGER LOCKED UP. A WEEK PRIOR WHILE SITTING STILL AT A DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW THE SAME INCIDENT WITH THE STEERING LOCK UP AND WARNING LIGHT HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT. IT WAS BRIEF AND ALL SYSTEMS RETURNED TO NORMAL.

STEERING
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE IS A 2016 CHEVROLET TRUCK WITH 25,852 MILES. A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN WITH A MALE DRIVER. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN IF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING HAD HAPPENED TO MY WIFE ON A CURVY ROAD. GM HAS RECALLED 1 MILLION PLUS 14-15 GM VEHICLES OVER THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY THE 2016 IS NOT IN THE RECALL. THE $1,500 PLUS DOLLAR COST IS ON ME. WHY IS GM BEING ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SELLING VEHICLES WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING?

STEERING
AT 63000 MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING CLICKING AND POPPING NOISES IN THE FRONT END. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC RACK AND PINION WAS BAD. THIS PROBLEM IS EXIBITED IN 2014 GM TRUCKS AS WELL AND THE ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. A FAILING ASISTED STEERING COULD BE DANGEROUS AND CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS.

POWER TRAIN
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN EARLY 2017, THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HARD. IT CHANGES SO HARD, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE STRUCK MY TRUCK FROM BEHIND, AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS HARD SHIFT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT. ON THE DOWNSHIFT, MY TRUCK WILL LERCH FORWARD, CONCERNING ME THAT I MAY STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE PROBLEM ON AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE LAST OCCASION, THE CHIEF MECHANIC CALLED ME AND SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND CHEVROLET HAS NO INTENTION OF FIXING IT. HE EXPLAINED IT INVOLVED THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND CHEVROLET HAS MOVED ON FROM THAT TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE DAMAGED FROM THE SHIFT. ONE SERVICE REP. STATED TO ME THAT MY WARRANTY IS GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES, SO DON'T WORRY. HOW CAN I DRIVE A VEHICLE, WHEN PASSENGERS BECOME FRIGHTENED FROM THE HARD SHIFT. MOST RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TO SHUDDER THROUGH THE FIRST FEW GEARS AND IS EXTREMELY BOTHERSOME TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT CHEVROLET HAS NO INTENTION ON FIXING THE "KNOWN" PROBLEM, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS UPON REQUEST.
