I BOUGHT A 2016 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LTZ Z71 AND IT VIBRATES AT IDLE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I HAD ALREADY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIX, BUT NO LUCK. GM TOLD ME THAT IS HOW THE TRUCK IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO HELP FROM GM TO HELP ME RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN AN OPTION TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEW ONE AT MY OWN EXPENSES OR DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. FORD WOULD NOT TAKE MY TRUCK AS A TRADE IN NOR WILL GMC. THIS VEHICLE CAN POTENTIALLY BY DANGEROUS AND A LIABILITY AS THE TRANSMIS…

ELECTRIC STEERING FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A LONG TRIP, WHEN NEW. THE STEERING, WHEN OUT, WAS VERY HARD TO STEER BUT DID NOT LOCK UP OR CAUSE ANY SUDDEN TRUCK MOVEMENTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC STEERING ON THE NEW TRUCK. NO MORE ISSUES AFTERWARDS.

2800 MILEAGE SINCE NEW BECAUSE I HAVE PROBLEMS FUELING THE TANK. I CANNOT GET FUEL TO PUMP INTO THE TANK CORRECTLY. IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK.

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW FAST YOU TRY TO FILL THE TANK OR HOW DEEP THE NOZZLE IS INSERTED INTO THE TUBE. I HAD A CHEVROLET SERVICE PERSON AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TRY TO FILL THE TANK TO VERIFY MY ISSUE. HE NOTICED THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED …
