ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE TURNING ONTO A ROAD, I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL APPROXIMATELY 20% AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL KICKED BACK HARD NEARLY BREAKING MY WRIST. ONCE I PULLED OFF I WAS ABLE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES IN EITHER DIRECTION, I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS ISSUE. WHEN IT KICKED BACK, I WOULD LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO DASH INSTRUMENTATION AND ALSO UPON POWER COMING BACK ON, I WOULD GET STABILITRAK ERRORS AND THE VEHICLE AND TRACTION CONTROLLED WOULD BE TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE PARKING OR REVERSING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE ADEQUATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUMMIT CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 318 GRANT AVE, AUBURN, NY 13021, (315) 258-2000) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT EMPHASIZED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT EXTREMELY SLOW SPEEDS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED DUE TO THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE18012 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), LINKED TO SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I PRESSED VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. I THEN PLACE THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TRIED AGAIN TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO PRESS AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET IT TO STOP. ALMOST HIT A BUILDING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS IN A PARKING LOT AND PULLING OUT ONTO A MAIN ROAD FROM A DRIVEWAY. WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART THEN THE BRAKES WILL ENGAGE AND WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET. WAITING TO TURN LEFT TO WAIT AT STOPLIGHT. WHEN GOING I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. TRAFFIC WAS COMING FROM BOTH SIDES WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED MY LIFE WAS TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. THIS INCIDENT COULD'VE KILLED ME IF WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION HAS HARD SHIFTING FROM STARTING POSITION, WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN. 50% OF THE TIME YOU CAN HEAR A CLUNKING WHEN HARD DOWN SHIFTING. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK INTO THIS OVER 6 TIMES ALREADY, AND ON ONE OCCASION IT HAD BEEN "REPROGRAMMED" AND ON ONE OCCASION A PART HAD BEEN CHANGED. IT STILL CONTINUES TO SHIFT HARD AS NOTED ABOVE. ODOMETER AS OF 4/5/19 IS 17,093. HAVE SERVICE SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 8 2019 FOR SHIFTING ISSUE AND MOTOR OIL CHANGE.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON MY 2016 SILVERADO 1500 WHEN I AM AT SLOW SPEEDS AND PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOES NOT STOP THE TRUCK. THE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY STIFF AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE TRUCK IS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR USING BOTH FEET PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH ALL MY FORCE. I HAVE FOUND BY MY DEALER THAT IT IS A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

CHEVY ONLY SOLUTION WAS FOR ME TO BUY NEW RUNNING BOARDS (WHICH PRIME CHEVROLET PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID CONTAINED THE SAME TYPE OF MOUNTING HARDWARE). NO INDIVIDUAL REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE OFFERED.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS, RADLES, AND PINGS UPON LIGHT ACCELERATION. IT HAS A DELAY BEFORE DOWN SHIFTING, IT OCCASIONALLY MAKES A LOUD CLUNK WHEN PUTTING INTO DRIVE I DONT KNOW IF THE AFM HAS PART IN THESE ISSUES. IF YOU DRIVE WITH HARD ACCELERATION THEN IT ONLY PINGS SOMETIMES AND KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE AN OLDER 80 MODEL V8 WITH A TIMING KNOCK. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND IT HAD BEEN DOING IT FOR THE LAST 6K MILES. IF YOU MANUALLY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION IT LIMITS THE ISSUE.
