UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LOCK SYSTEM FAILURE- CHILD'S FINGER CAUGHT IN DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. WE WERE PREPARING TO GO TO SCHOOL. BOTH FRONT DOORS WERE OPEN, MY DAUGHTER WAS PLACING HER BACKPACK IN FRONT FLOORBOARD FOR SCHOOL. WHILE DOING SO, I REACHED IN AND STARTED THE TRUCK. THE LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED. SHE PUSHED THE FRT PASSENGER DOOR TO, BUT CAUGHT THE FISRT JOINT OF HER THUMB IN THE DOOR JAMB. THE DOOR REMAINED IN THE HALF LATCHED POSITION. EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE FROM THE INSIDE, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE LOCK TO PHYSICALLY DISENGAGE AND ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN TO FREE HER FINGER. THE ENTIRE TIME SHE WAS SCREAMING, AND OUT OF DESPERATION SHE YANKED HER THUMB OUT. HER ENTIRE THUMB IS SWOLLEN, AND BLACK AND BLUE ON THE END. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THIS LOCKING FEATURE ON THE TRUCK- IT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME CONSIDER RETURNING THE VEHICLE- AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 6 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW IN MARCH 2016 FROM FRANKLIN, TN. IT WAS A SERVICE LOANER WITH 4700 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRAILER TOWING MIRRORS VISIBILITY ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MIRRORS SIT 6 TO 8 INCHES TOO HIGH, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF CRITICAL AREAS TO THE SIDES AND AHEAD ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE MIRRORS ALSO INTERFERE WITH THE VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS AND PEDESTRIANS. THE THICK POSTS BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DOORS EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 08/28/2017*JS

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PAINT ON BODY OF TRUCK CHIPS AND SCRATCHES AS WELL AS HAS DEEP SWIRLS. IT IS JUST NOW A YEAR OLD AND THE FRONT END, HOOD, SIDES ALL HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO CHIPS AND SCRATCHES THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I HAND WASH MY VEHICLE SO IT IS NOT CAUSED BY A CAR WASH. THE PAINT IN OTHER BLOGS WITH CHEVROLET HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE VERY FAULTY DUE TO EPA REGULATIONS. ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE HAD HAS NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER HAS A BLACK JEEP, NO PROBLEMS, I HAD A BLACK JEEP, NO PROBLEMS. I PAID THE MOST I HAVE EVER PAID FOR A VEHICLE AGAIN BLACK AND THE PAINT JOB IS HORRIBLE! SADLY IT IS SOMETHING WELL KNOWN FOR CHEVROLET.

STEERING
EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL PLAY OR (LASH). WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 3 INCHES PAST CENTER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE TRUCK HAS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR LANE BECAUSE OF CHANGING ROAD GRADES AND CROWNS. ALSO THE TRUCK DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR UNTIL THE 15,000 MILE MARK. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE. GM HAS RELEASED TSB DOCUMENTS (PIT5501F) DEALING WITH IT, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A 3/4 TON TRUCK WITH UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING!!!!!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS VEHICLE (2016 SILVERADO) HAS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "CHEVY SHAKE", AN UNRESOLVABLE DRIVELINE UNDER SEAT VIBRATION THAT IS VERY SEVERE AT TIMES. GM HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN PI1354C WHICH I FOLLOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO REDUCE / ELIMINATE THE SEVERE SHAKE THAT OCCURS AT SPEEDS OF 69 ' 79 MPH WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY MATTER WHEN A VEHICLE SHAKES TO THE EXTENT OF DRIVER DISTRACTION AND THERE ARE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LONG TERM EFFECT ON SAFETY COMPONENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT SEVERE SHAKING THAT THEY WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE SUBJECTED TO UNDER NORMAL DURABILITY TESTING. I DO NOT FEEL "IN CONTROL" WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SEVERE SHAKING OCCURS AT 69MPH. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING BUILD ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND PROVIDE RELIEF TO GM TRUCK OWNERS.

STEERING
OVER A PERIOD OF APROX 600 MILES/3DAYS, THE STEERING HAS GONE FROM NEAR 0 SLACK/PLAY TO WELL OVER 1 1/2 INCHES OF PLAY RESULTING ERRATIC STEERING RESPONSE WHICH, WHEN ON NARROW HIGHWAYS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN YOUR LANE. SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAD CLOSE CALLS BOTH WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC AND WITH RUNNING OFF ROAD. IS OBVIOUS MOST PROBLEMATIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS

BAD PAINT, EXTREMELY SOFT, CHIPS EASILY. REAR OF FENDERS AND TAILGATE SHOWED CHIPS AFTER 1500 MILES, NOW FRONT OF REAR FENDERS ARE CHIPPED AS WELL AS NUMEROUS PLACES ON SIDES AND FRONT OF VEHICLE. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO DUST STORM. MY 2003 SILVERADO HAS PAINT THAT LOOKS NEWER THAN MY 2016 AND IS PARKED IN THE SAME LOCATION.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES AT VARYING SPEED BUT MOSTLY BETWEEN 60 AND 75MPH. I HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TIRES REPLACED TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP TESTED THE VEHICLE WITH SENSORS AND CAN NOT ISOLATE THE VIBRATION. I HAVE ONLY HAD VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AND QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I WISH I HAD RESEARCHED THE TRUCK ON THE INTERNET PRIOR TO PURCHASE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS KNOWN AND HAS A NAME "THE CHEVY SHAKE" I HOPE OTHERS WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT THESE CONCERNS BECAUSE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITHOUT THE RUNAROUND CUSTOMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO ENDURE. THE VEHICLE ISSUE NEEDS A RECALL.
