POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights are foggy causing less and less light to drive by. Transmission has a hesitation when going from P-D, P-R, D-R, and R-D. It does this most of the time but not all the time. Transmission makes loud popping noises at times. Seems to be mostly when almost stopped or from almost stopped and then accelerating. Seems to try and shift gears also when truck goes into Regen mode when stopped at traffic light or stop sign making loud popping noises. It does this sometimes but not all of the time.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Diesel Exhaust Poor Quality Warning false alarmed and began restricting vehicle speed thus limiting range the vehicle can travel to less than 250 miles and at speeds significantly lower than posted speed limits. Potentially leaving a motorist stranded or vehcile incapacitated when traveling distances greater than 250 miles from residence. 1st warning reduces speed to 65mph after 100 miles 2nd warning reduces speed to 55mph after 75 miles 3rd warning reduces speed to 4 mph after 75 miles The warning light has appeared on the vehicle on 3 separate occassions and never due to DEF being expired or old. On all three occasions vehicle was taken to local Chevrolet Service Department for repairs. First incident January 10th 2022 replaced 2 thermastats, Second incident February 9th 2022 added fresh fuel, Third incident April 1st 2022 replaced secondary NOX sensor. My safety is at risk if I were to use the vehicle to travel long distances, use the vehicle for towing or attempt to travel on the interstate. No assurances have been made by Chevrolet that repairs have truely fixed the issue as it continues to recur and each time I am being charged by dealership for different repairs. The issue has been reported to Chevrolet Customer Care whom have been difficult to communicate with, only agreed to re-imburse $41 of the over $2000 in repairs, and do not seem to care about my safety concerns.

SERVICE BRAKES
I have tooken my 2016 Silverado 5.3 that I bought brand new 4 times to get fixed for a brake recall, it is still not fixed even though in their records it’s fixed, I have had several near misses but I am always ready with the e brake. The brakes get super hard out of no where and I can’t brake at all. Recently I hit 2 vehicles because of this recall. I was backing out of my home and when I tried to brake I hit a car parked in the side of the road, if they would’ve been in the car I would’ve killed the owner of the vehicle for sure. I put it in drive to get out of her car and the brake didn’t work again and crashed into the vehicle in front of me again because of the brake recall. I was injured both time and I am paying for these peoples cars and other stuff. I have been talking to several lawyers just haven’t decided which one I am going to go with. I am scared for my life to drive that truck now and it is sacred to me and my family as my dad died from COVID and it was his truck

STEERING
My power steering will not work, I cannot turn the wheel whatsoever. The first time it happened, I had to pay through insurance to have it fixed. 2 years later, it’s happening again. In both incidences, I parked my truck overnight and when I went to drive it the next day, a message came on saying power steering assist reduced. I know there is a recall for this problem. Yet the dealership tells me the steering gear needs replaced. The problem now is that there isn’t a part available.

SERVICE BRAKES
Slow speed braking is severely affected upon engagement, such as backing out of my driveway, or maneuvering into a parking spot. The brake pedal will pulse as if the ABS system is activating, however, upon reaching/ keeping idle speed, the brake pedal will become very rigid and the pedal is very hard to compress downward. Once the vehicle is stopped, and power is applied again with the gas pedal, normal braking is restored.

Torque converter failure, only 33k miles on vehicle. Had a load of dirt in bed of truck, while going home had too pull to side of road. Cause - truck shook violently almost lost control, thought someone hit me at first. While getting started again, noticed transmission was shifting funny but got home and symptoms went away for approx 2 months. April 16 while going for a drive on the highway, truck shifted down gears while cruise was set at 65mph the had trouble getting into gear so I pulled to the side and shut her down after I noticed a engine light come on. Luckily I had a scanner in my vehicle that I carry all the time and the code PO741 CAME UP. TORQUE converter and impellar, sensors,wiring issue. I called dealer immediately to set up apps and they came to same conclusion, TORQUE converter,impellar,trans lines .
