About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 5 mph and making turns, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to paradise Chevrolet Cadillac (27360 ynez rd, temecula, ca 9259 (951) 699-2699) five times for the failure, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed or duplicated. The contact stated that the last time the failure occurred, she informed the dealer that the ignition switch would inadvertently turn to the "off" position. The dealer replaced the ignition switch, but the failure recurred four months later. The contact called the dealer once again to schedule another diagnostic appointment for 8/2/2017. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
Starting vehicle up at my home. Service engine light came on and it idled roughly. I took it it to the dealer and they found coolant getting into a cylinder. They have to order a new cylinder head. This vehicle is only 18 months old with 15600 miles on it.
Issue 1 - transmission: The Chevrolet Silverado has a 6-speed transmission that clunks / hard shifts (very hard). GM indicates that this is normal and/or the transmission is adapting to your driving style. The clunk is very distraction (startling) when driving. The transmission also hesitates in selecting gears. This is very dangerous when attempting to accelerate into traffic. On two occasion, I attempted to merge on to the interstate and the delayed transmission engagement almost resulted in a collision. Issue 2 - engine: The Chevrolet Silverado has an active fuel management that drops the truck down to 4 cylinders. When this occurs, the entire truck will vibrate / reverberate causing headaches. Google "Chevy shakes".
The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shook forcefully. There were no warning indicators illuminated and the vibration caused the head lamps to vibrate. The contact stated that the voltage speed only read through 10.5-11. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,790. Updated 01/25/2017
