All forms of sound on the vehicle stops, for example the radio shuts off, turning signals work but no sound, door sounds, seatbelt alarm etc. None of these sounds work. This happens on random occasions while driving and sometimes it fixes itself on other occasions the vehicle has to be turned of or the battery reset. Supposedly it was already resolved when taken to the dealer but the issue still continues.

GM wireless charging in my 2016 Silverado isn't comparable with any modern devices. It only works with their recommended devices which wasn't stated when I bought the truck new from the dealership.

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.

The 2016 Silverado has a programming issue for the transmission. When I drive under a load going up a hill it chugs like I have a miss fire issue. The programming is set so it stays in the highest gear for to long when driving in city conditions. It stays in 6th gear going 25-30mph and when you need the throttle. The transmission can't decide which gear to be in. On two different occasions I went to pull out of a side road onto a main road and the truck fell flat on its face like I hit a kill switch and it all most caused me to get T-boned. I hit the throttle multiple times before it decided it was going to 100% throttle and have me going out sideways onto the main road. I have taken it to the dealer and they have confirmed it to be a programming issue, but there is no fix from GM and the dealer can't do anything with it because of epa laws, but there are aftermarket tuners that address this very issue and fixes the problem and also voids warranty of the truck. It's had the issue since the 2nd week I've owned it from new. The dealer told me to keep calling GM to complain, but all GM does is send me to the dealer. Where I'm told there is nothing that can be done. It is an ongoing issue and is only a matter of time before it causes an accident or death if it hasn't all ready. I have 30 years of experience in the auto technician field and my family combined over 100 years. You know the issue is bad when a beginner driver notices the issue. If you have a local person. I'd be more than happy to take them for a ride to show them. For when this happened. It started in 2nd week of July to present. It only had around 300 miles when it started.

Vehicle intermittently loses all electrical controls: Power steering, engine power, stabilitrak, airbags. All electrical systems are compromised and the vehicle loses all power. Once the vehicle is turned off and back on a few times it will go into a 'limp mode'. I've been stranded in the vehicle 4 times. I have had this happen twice while driving down the freeway, once driving in a parking lot, and twice when first starting the vehicle. During one incident on the freeway I was in the center lane and lost all engine power, airbags, safety controls, and power steering. I was able to coast and make my way over to the shoulder. GM and the dealership have been unable to resolve the issue and are now refusing to honor the warranty, replace the vehicle, or refund the purchase. This has been a serious safety issue. I've had my wife and two small children in the vehicle when it has died on the freeway. Not only is it a significant danger to myself and my family, but any other vehicles in close proximity. As such I have refused to drive the vehicle any longer, but GM seems intent on ignoring this.

Ongoing safety issue...vehicle looses power, steering, braking, all other devices inactive, driving safety of occupants and others relevant when driver has no control due to defect. Chevy mechanics believe might be steering system such as ignition and locking elements, due to grinding noise before vehicle looses power and other parts lock up, Chevy techs thought might be race and pinion, might be electrical, might be whatever, they are unable to conclusively determine this critical safety defect in truck. Chevy techs have commented they are skeptical about letting anyone drive until resolved. Investment hugh with loss of use and finding other transportation. Why own it. GM needs to reimburse cost and replace. This is a significant liability. All aspects of non functioning parts don't generate error codes, and this incident has reoccurred over eight times in five days. This requires action by GM, where is it. Loaner vehicle not sufficient replacement for investment. Safety issue commenced on March 16, towed multiple times, been to two dealers, initial more than 200 miles from home, and current dealer where purchased with 25 miles of home.

Entire instrument cluster went out while driving causing loss of needed information such as speed and other pertinent information. Dealer says there is a tsb that the entire truck has to be re-flashed including all modules in the vehicle because it does not recognize the instrument cluster. During this time, all safety systems flashed and appeared to be inactive. Air bag, traction control, ABS, trailer braking etc. This needs to be investigated to see if a recall must happen. If we got in an accident during this occurrence who knows if any of the safety systems on the vehicle were functioning.
