Our silverado has a bad vibration,mostly noticable around 70mph . Gm dealership claimed it was tire balance issue,which has had 2 new sets of tires put on it,and the issue is still there. Gm now will no longer service the truck for this issue,claiming theres nothing wrong with it. Yet the problem is evident and remains unfixed...same problem as on 2014 and up suvs and pickups.

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. I've taken it to many different gas stations thinking it was a gas pump issue. The pump handle clicks off when trying to fill the tank. 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…

This vehicle (2016 silverado) has all the characteristics associated with the "chevy shake", an unresolvable driveline under seat vibration that is very severe at times. Gm has issued service bulletin pi1354c which i followed at my expense to reduce / eliminate the severe shake that occurs at speeds of 69 ' 79 mph with no improvement. I believe it is a safety matter when a vehicle shakes to the extent of driver…

Vehicle operator has radio shut off. When vehicle is used again the radio comes on unwanted shortly after start. If vehicle has started moving this puts the operator in a distracted driving situation. This happens every other startup. ( if starts are more than a few minuets apart.)

On aug 21rst there was a loud popping in the rear end and a lot of vibration. I took it back to the dealer and they said a tire had to be replaced because of a broken belt. I received no service ticket or documentation for either…

From the day i took posession of the truck i have complained of a vibration in the chasis. I was first told i had flat spots on the tires and were replaced. Did not resolve the issue. Next told i had a nail in my tire, had it replaced, did not resolve the issue. Next they told me about a friction/road test that was needed on some 1500 pick ups. They "balanced my tires" and told me i was good to go. Did not resolve…

The steel cables that hold the tail gate in the down position are different lengths. The left or driver side cable is the only cable that has tension on it in the down position. The full weight of the tail gate is only on one cable that could cause failure of the cable due to the weight and could cause the tail gate to torque and be damaged. The slack on the right or passenger side cable has about a 6 inch play in…

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.…

I have what has been deemed "the chevy shake". Tires have been replaced and balanced. But at highway speeds 70 mph and above there is a very noticeable vibration in the truck. I just read a report describing this problem in the '14 & '15 models but gm hasn't fixed the problem yet in '16.
