Al these lights came on out of no where one cold day. Steering assist, ABS, break. Also service trailer brake, service stabilitrak. I went online there are so many people with the exact issue. Recall your mistake and fix your problem. Don't screw the customer. I locked up my brakes because the car in front of me and I almost hit them due to my ABS not working I fish tailed sideways. It's a matter of time before someone is hurt. It is a big issue many people have spoke about. I also explained to the guy when I scheduale the recall to be fixed and he said that my lights out a different issue the recall is just a program update for something with the brakes. Then I bring it there 45min later they cant update the truck and complete the recall due to the lights on in the truck!!! I'm just upset I explained everything before appointment and still got screwed. Also after looking there is a lot of people with the exact problem as me.. weird

The steering wheel vibrates at around 65 mph. It feels like you are rolling over rumble strips. The dealership balanced the tires, but the vibration continues. Researching the issue indicates it may be a problem with the torque converter.

I bought my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado on October 2017. Not even one month after purchased I had to bring back the vehicle due to loud clunking noises and jerking. I had to bring the truck in at least 3-4 times a year due to the same problem.

2017 Silverado reverse camera at night there is no control to turn down brightness. It is so bright that this causes a serious safety issue trying to back up and use passenger side mirror. Other 2017 radios allow for adjustment 2016 and 2015 allowed driver to adjust brightness. I have to cover screen to back up.
