Silverado 1500

  • 3,000 miles
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.

Silverado 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • 800 miles
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".
