The stabilitrak has been going off at random times, several times in a row. twice, over the span of two days, the stabilitrak has gone off while in motion, pulling into a parking spot on dry ground. it has also gone off about 4 times back-to-back while at slow speeds on an on ramp. the main display has also been randomly shutting off (screen goes black) without warning or obvious reason.
This for 2016 chevrolet siverado ltz d/c 5.3l 4x4 t/a1500 model ck15543 purchase date: 05/26/16 as of the last past year i've experience steering control failure, stability control failure and brake system failure. the truck can not be driven safely. visit dealer about 10 times and they don't have a clue of how to fix this safety problems. this vehicle is listed under recall by gm and dealer has not been able to fix.
I purchased my truck in august 2016. i noticed a vibration from 70-80 mph. very noticeable in the steering wheel and more recently in the driver seat. it's been to the dealer twice. they picoscoped (service tool) to isolate the vibration. performed lots of balancing, new tires, drive shaft, differential (ring & pinion). vibration more noticeable than ever. but they claim it's within spec. they have a field service engineer meeting my car at the dealer on wednesday 11/09/2016, but the dealer is already setting me up for disappointment. this prompted me to search on line today where i found "chevy shakes". the stories match my experience completely. i love everything about my truck until i hit 75, then i become so infuriated that my $50k truck with 2,700 miles apparently isn't going to be fixable from what i've read. i wouldn't know what to tell a potential buyer if for some reason i had to sell it. it clearly has a problem. if i'm told it can't be fixed, i will demand my money back. i'm at 75 every day, and the vibration isn't only annoying, but it numbs your hands from the shaking.
While in motion in city at intersection, stopped for light, proceeded forward but steering locked, brakes, and ignition switch inactive, a grinding clicking noise heard just as began accelerating before safety failure. truck towed to a dealer, unable to determine cause, released truck, problem occurred again in three days causing vehicle to be towed again. mechanic unsure, no errors codes, however sounded similar to early recall by gm for ignition switch torque problems, but noise could be per mechanic something in rack and pinion or rotary vene pump. dealer not committing and suggest to drive. safety for lives is concern in this matter with lack of electrical, steering, brakes, and ignition control by driver.
