On Jan 30, 2021 a check engine light appeared on start-up but had no noticeable difference in driving conditions or reading from dash gauges. Checked engine code and it read po6dd, took my truck to a gm dealer and they ran a test showing 20psi too low of oil pressure at the top side of the engine as a result of a failed oil pump solenoid. Was told this could have caused an engine failure. Cost to repair this issue is >$3,000. 00. While the dealership was test driving my truck after repairing the oil solenoid the entire power steering unit failed. The entire power steering unit needs to be replaced and is nearly $1,500. 00 to repair. These problems on a 5 year old vehicle with 103,490 miles seems like a major issue. I reached out to gm and they said that these issues are not under recall and will not be assisting in any costs involved in repairs.
I bought the truck brand new in March of 2016. At just over 2 years and 40,000 miles, the electric power steering system started failing intermittently while driving the vehicle, seizing control of the steering. It happened while stopped, then it happened when turning on a city street. Extremely dangerous and should not happen on a new vehicle. Chevy is refusing to do anything about it even though this was a known issue and recall on the �14 & �15 model years.
Driving down a country road the power steering failed while going around a corner at 40mph and came back almost causing total loss of control.
Tl the contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 10 mph, the power steering failed to turn and the contact crashed into a light pole. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the steering column was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to gallaes Chevrolet (2801 university blvd ne, albuquerque, nm), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was then taken to marks casa Chevrolet (7201 lomas blvd ne, albuquerque, nm 87110). The vehicle was currently still at the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.
