I have been dealing with transmission issues since I bought the vehicle. There is dirt and sand inside my brake lights, rust under the seats, dirt and rust under the dash, brake calipers are horribly rusted and painted to be covered up by the selling dealership, wiring issues continue to arise and repaired by my mechanic. Trailer brake system is now failing. Steering is having issues now, either bad tie rods or bad cv joints. I have had complete loss of electronic power steering in the past. I suspect this vehicle was in a flood and the dealership covered it up. I have been dealing with this since January of 2019, and I have text records starting April 7th 2019. The vehicle was purchased from a family member's dealership and I bought an extended warranty. They have been less than helpful. Seeking legal help is my last resort.

Warning alarm goes off and power steering goes out happens with vechile in motion

- Newington, GA, USA

As I was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the ac blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as I was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when I backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 Silverado used in 2018 with 24K miles on it. The odometer just turned 50K two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service.I began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so I thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since I am out of warranty I have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly GM is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! I can not believe that GM knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? I also noted that the previous owner, right before I bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by GM and dealer when I bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now I can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!

I will drive down the road and the display goes black on dash and I hear clicking sound and truck shuts off. Steering wheel has locked up making turns, left or right. Issues mostly happen when driving extended period of times but has cut off with short trips and parking, backing in. These issues started around Dec 2019 and increased in frequency this year 2020.

Intermittently loses power steering, and makes it extremely difficult to drive. A message pops up and says, service power steering drive with care. Happens most often the first time I use it on any given day. But occasionally happens while driving. It started about a week ago and has happened every day since then.

While setting in a drive thru my steering wheel will jerk back and fourth and then my truck will die. I get several different messages on my dash stability track needs service, window needs rolled down then up, or trailer assist. This has happened multiple times.

Silverardo 2016 1500 pick up truck suddenly lost power steering with no warning. Truck is in fine operating condition, there are no current recalls for steering for this year. Wife was driving. The truck was in motion on the highway exit. Pulled over. I went out to get the truck looked for any issues. Restarted truck power steering worked then failed again after 5 minutes. Drove the truck to a parking lot. Restarted truck and power steering works. While some persons may be able to steer the truck to a safe spot, it is difficult and takes a significant amount of upper body strength to control the vehicle. How do I safely let my wife drive this car? I am worried that this previous defect/issue was not properly addressed by Chevrolet. Thank you

Service power steering came on, car was completely unable to control with zero steering assist. Extremely dangerous almost hit multiple cars turning at low speed. Dealership claims the code C056D but is taking zero responsibility charging outrageous prices for an electrical unit that has failed in less than 70,000 miles.

My 2016 Silverado steering wheel locks up and all of the power in my vehicle shuts off. It only happens when I'm turning but I cannot move the wheel in any direction. This problem is very dangerous and could lead to injury or death. I was almost involved in a head collision this morning because of it. Not to mention that not one Chevrolet mechanic or auto dealer knows what I'm talking about or even acts like they care. This problem has been well documented in older model Silverado's and 2016 Silverado should be included. It's only a matter of time before someone is killed because of this problem and now their is documentation.

1st I notice my info screen would black out and come back on then a service camera message would come on once in awhile. Now every once in awhile the stabilitirak will come on my screen and the steering wheel will jerk violently out of my hand. Very dangerous. Up to this point it has been at slow speeds...(under 30 mph).

First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note I have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds.starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so I started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work I got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.
