UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2014 SILVERADO LTZ 1500 HAS HAD A DISTRACTING VIBRATION/SHAKE SINCE DAY ONE THAT IS FELT AT ALMOST ALL SPEEDS. I NOTIFIED THEM OF IMMEDIATELY. THEY REBALANCED THE TIRES, IT DID NOT HELP. THE CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES TWO DIFFERENT TIMES, IT DID NOT HELP. THEY DID SOME SPECIAL LOAD BALANCING, IT DID NOT HELP. WITH 32K ON IT AND MY WARRANTY RUNNING OUT I GAVE IT BACK TO THEM AGAIN FOR ANOTHER REBALANCING, THAT DID NOT HELP. MY BROTHER FULLY AGREES WITH ME ABOUT THE VIBRATION/SHAKE; WE ARE BOTH PREVIOUS OWNERS OF SILVERADO 1500'S THAT RODE EXCELLENT. HE NOW HAS A 2013 GMC SIERRA THAT RIDES JUST FINE. FRUSTRATED WITH MY RIDE AND LACK OF RESOLUTION I TEST DROVE A 2016 SILVERADO LTZ Z71 HOPING TO TRADE OUT OF THE ISSUE; BUT THE 2016 RIDE WAS NO BETTER. CHEVROLET HAS AN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE QUITE A FEW TIMES AND ONLY A FEW TIMES ABLE TO GET VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF WHAT MESSAGES COME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. ON THE STREET GOING ABOUT 30MPH TURNING RIGHT THE STIRRING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AND I WAS CLOSE TO COLLIDING WITH A TRUCK ON THE OPPOSITE LANE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I BASICALLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE I JUST PUT THE TRUCK ON PARKING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH,RADIO,VA ALL FLICKERED AND SUDDENLY THE TRUCK SHUT OFF I TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AND DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE OTHER THEN MESSAGES ON THE DASH TELLING ME TO DRIVE SAFE STEERING ASSIST OFF AND SERVICE STABILITRAC. THE TIMES BEFORE I DIDN'T GET PICTURES BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY THINGS COULD OF GOT WORST AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO "FIND THE CODE FOR THE ISSUE" WHICH I FIND RIDICULOUS WITH SOME MUCH AND AN ES TECHNOLOGY EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET DIAGNOSES AT THE DEALERSHIP.

POWER TRAIN
AT 113,000 MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES, TRUCK STARTED SHIMMERING WHEN A LOAD WAS PLACED ON IT, LIKE GOING UP HILLS. WAS TOLD AT CHEVY DEALER IT WAS TRANSMISSION. MY WARRANTY WAS UP TILL 100K WHICH WAS 2.5 MONTHS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM. I FLUSHED TRANSMISSION EVERY 30K (WAY EARLY) AND LOCAL DEALER SAID TRANSMISSION SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE LIKE THAT. GM IS NOT WANTING TO HELP AT ALL ON A 48K COST TRUCK AND I HAD TO PAY 5150.00 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. PLUS OUT OF TOWN "BEING STUCK" COSTS TOO.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN, I PULLED IN TO THE RIGHT TO A RESTAURANT, AND PROCEEDED TO PULL UP AND PARK IN REVERSE. AS I PULLED UP AND ALIGNED THE TRUCK I SLIGHTLY TURNED THE TRUCK STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO STRAIGHTEN UP AS I DID THIS THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT EVEN MORE WITH ITS OWN FORCE, THE DISPLAY MARKED STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED , AND THEN DID THIS TO ME THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN UP THE TRUCK TO TRY AND BACK UP TO PARK. NOT ONLY THAT MY WIFE WHO DRIVES THE TRUCK DAILY SAID IT DID THIS TO HER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND ITS EVEN COMPLETELY DIED ON HER, WITH HER HAVING TO PUT THE TRUCK BACK INTO PARK AND RESTART THE TRUCK. LUCKILY IT HAS NOT YET DONE THIS TO US OR MORE SPECIFICALLY TO MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE DRIVES THE TRUCK DAILY, TO HER ON THE INTERSTATE OR MAJOR HIGHWAY . THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND ITS STAYED THERE A FEW DAYS EACH TIME. WITH THEM ONLY REPAIRING THE RECALLS. AND THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND I BOTH. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND THE DEALER CANT FIND ANYTHING SUPPOSEDLY WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NOW, AND AM STUCK WITH THE TRUCK WITH NO ANSWERS WHAT SO EVE!!!!!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL RANDOMLY KICK BACK AGAINST YOU AS YOU ARE TURNING IT AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN MAY, JUNE AND SEPTEMBER 2016. ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO REPAIR IT. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ALL EXCEPT THE LAST TIME AS I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK AND IT IS STILL SITTING AT GUNN CHEVROLET IN SELMA TEXAS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RANDOMLY WHEN I GO TO TURN SERVICE STABILITRACK POPS UP AND WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT JERKS THE WHEEL BACK TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE HAD TWO DEALERSHIPS LOOK AT IT AND COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND ALL THEY SAY IS THE DEALER HAS TO REPLICATE IT . AND THEY WILL NOT FOOT THE BILL FOR ME A LOANER. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE SEEING HOW JUST A LITTLE RESEARCH WILL SHOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I HAVE. OF COURSE GM TELLS ME THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHICH IS A LIE.

STEERING
STEERING RACK MAKES POPPING CLUNKING SOUND . STEERING SOMETIMES BINDS AND IS HARD TO TURN DEALER SAYS STEERING RACK IS THAT BLAME AND IT'S BEEN A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THESE TRUCKS AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE RACK FALLS AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE? I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD FIX OR REPLACE THE RACK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. I WANT TO REPORT THE ACTIONS OF A TRUCKER WHILE ON A TRIP TO NY TO VISIT RELATIVES. WE WERE DRIVING ON 95N IN THE PASSING LANE. A TRACTOR/TRAILER CAME ROLLING UPON US, BLOWING THE HORN FOR US TO GET IN THE SLOW LANE. WE MOVED TO THE SLOW LANE, THE TRUCK PASSED, GIVING MY HUSBAND THE FINGER AS HE DROVE BY, THEN ATTEMPTED TO RUN US OFF THE ROAD. HE SWERVED HIS VEHICLE TOWARDS OURS, CAUSING US TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE, BUT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS DRIVING EXTREMELY RECKLESS AND ATTEMPTING TO RUN US OFF THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A PETERBILT, PENNSYLVANIA LICENSE TAG # PT821A1. THE NAME ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK WAS "LEE'S EXCAVATING" AND THERE WAS A REBEL FLAG COVERING THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.
