UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT AROUND 15K MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 65-75 MPH. IT IS HARD TO SAFELY MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS SAFELY. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF ANY PASSENGERS ON THE HIGHWAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JUNE 2016 WITH 32K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AUGUST 2016 AT 35K MILES WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN 4 TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AGAIN ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED JUST SHORT OF HITTING MY MAILBOX. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE DEAD AT THIS POINT. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. 3 DAYS LATER ON A FAMILY OUTING, AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPACE AT A THEME PARK, MY WIFE HAD FORGOTTEN HER THEME PARK MUG, SO WE WALKED BACK TO GET IT. WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE KEY ENTRY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I USED THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE COURTESY LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAD NO POWER AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER SPENDING THE DAY IN THE THEME PARK WITH FRIENDS, WE WERE GOING TO GET A RIDE HOME DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. I TOLD THEM LETS TRY TO START IT AGAIN AND SEE IF IT WILL DO ANYTHING. IT STARTED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS A NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND SAID THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. 2 WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE STARTED THE SAME ERRATIC PROCESS. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY AT THE SAME TIME. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT WAS WHILE DRIVING IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT. IF THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY OR FATALLY INJURED. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. A PERSON HAS NO CONTROL OF A GM VEHICLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND GM IS PLACING LIVES AT RISK.

STEERING
THE TRUCK AT LOW SPEEDS YOU CAN HERE THE STEERING MAKE POPPING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING AND OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY LOUD LIKE SOMETHING SNAPPED OFF. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING HAD A BAD BUSHING AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING GEAR BOX. THIS WAS AT 19000 MILES. NOW THE TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ELECTRICAL FIRE: MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. MY RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY CHANGE, TURN ON AND OFF. THE PARKING SENSORS WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF EVEN WHILE DRIVING FORWARD, DOWN THE HIGHWAY! I HAD A SERVICE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED. HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT MY VEHICLE BURNED UP. THE CAUSE WAS FOUND TO BE A CONTROL/COMPUTER BOARD IN THE DASH. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE, IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 1 HOUR SINCE DRIVEN LAST. I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES, FIRE INVESTIGATION REPORT AND INSURANCE INSPECTION REPORT.

POWER TRAIN
VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION AT 25 MPH AND AGAIN AT 45 MPH. ONLY SEEMS TO AFFECT VEHICLE IN 4 CYLINDER MODE. LOTS OF INTERNET RESEARCH HAS FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVY SILVERADO 1500'S AS IT IS IN MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH A COMPLAINT AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME CASE # 8-2286316021. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX ESTABLISHED AS OF YET. BUT, MY CONCERN IS WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW, ICE OR WET ROADS, THE VIBRATION COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH TRACTION. IF IT VIBRATES WHILE ON SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS THEN THE TRACTION IS REDUCED CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN.

VIBRATION COMING BACK THROUGH STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS HAVING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IN TRAFFIC AFTER HITTING MY BREAKS MANY TIMES I NOTICED MY DASH LIGHTS GO DIM, THE RADIO WOULD CUT OUT ONCE IN A WHILE AND MY GAUGE CLUSTER WOULD RESET JUST LIKE IT LOOKS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN APPROX.30 MIN. I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT BUT THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING IN MY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, A CAR WAS COMING THE OPPOSITE WAY WHEN AND I HIT MY BREAKS THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED OUT OF MY HAND AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST INTO A RETAINING WALL. EVERYTHING WAS DINGING THE ABS AND OTHER LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE WORD STABILITAC WAS DISPLAYED ON THE CENTER DASH. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND OFFERED NO REAL EXPLANATION FOR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. NOW HERE WE ARE A MONTH LATER I'M DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND TAKE MY EXIT FOR WORK. WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS THE LIGHTS GO DIM IN THE TRUCK, THE RADIO GOES OUT, THE ABS AND OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON, THINGS ARE DINGING AND STABILITRAC IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN ON THE DASH. WHEN I STARTED INTO MY TURN THE WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY MANY TIMES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MY TURN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE OFF RAMP. IT TOOK EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I RELUCTANTLY CONTINUED ON TO WORK AS IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES. ONE OF THEM I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ON VIDEO. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT MADE THE FIRST ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR AS IT HAS BEEN PROVEN IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF GM DOESN'T FIX IT.

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. IT IS ESPECIALLY STRONG AT APPROXIMATELY 74 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER FOUR TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, MATCH BALANCED THE TIRES THREE TIMES, AND TURNED THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE VIBRATION IS DUE TO THE NEW SUSPENSION DESIGN. I FOUND A GM BULLETIN, #PI1354C, THAT OUTLINES A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED, THE VEHICLE STARTED GIVING "STABILTRAK SERVICE REQUIRED" "REDUCED POWER TO STEERING" WARNINGS. AT THESE TIMES AND INTERMITTENTLY AFTERWARDS, THESE WOULD APPEAR AND THE STEERING WOULD THEN RESPOND AS IF THE ENGINE WERE NOT RUNNING WHILE UNDERWAY. THIS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL PARKING LOTS REQUIRING CLOSE MANEUVERING AS WELL AS ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, ENDANGERING MY FAMILY, MYSELF AND OTHERS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE POSITIVE ENGINE LEAD, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE. THE SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN AGAIN AND NOW I AM BEING INFORMED THERE ARE NOW MULTIPLE LOW VOLTAGE CODES DUE TO THIS SHORT. RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AMONG MANY WHO OWN THIS TRUCK. IT WOULD APPEAR THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ON APPROX. JUNE 20TH AND CONTINUED UNTIL "REPAIRED" JUNE

I WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP AND WHILE IN REVERSE AND FOOT ON BRAKE, I WOULD TURN STEERING WHEEL AND IT WOULD JERK BACK TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. I TOOK VIDEO OF THAT ACCURANCE.

BEFORE ONE OF THE OCCURRENCES WHILE IN CRUISE I TAPPED THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, AND MY VOLT GAUGE DROPPED TO 10 OR SO AND THE HEADLIGHTS ALMLST SHUT OFF AND ALL LIGHTS IN CAB FLIKERED ON AND OFF. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF BUT DIDN'T.

THE FRAME HAS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RUST. FRONT TO BACK EVEN REACHING UP INTO THE CAB AT THE REAR SEAT MOUNTS. ONLY 22,000 MILES. NEVER SEEN THIS MUCH AGGRESSIVE RUST ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. FEAR IT COULD EFFECT THE VEHICLE SYSTEMS, BRAKES OR FRAME INTEGRITY, SEAT MOUNTS. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN JUNE 2016 (PRIVATE PARTY) AND DID NOT REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE ISSUE. ON BRIEF VISUAL INSPECTION LOOKED LIKE NORMAL MICHIGAN RUST. IT'S SO NEW AND THE BODY IS PERFECT DIDN'T THINK I HAD TO LOOK INTO RUST ISSUES. CHECKED CAR FAX FOR RECALLS AND ACCIDENTS.
