general problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Transmission (6l80/e) started slipping at around 100,000 miles and needed completely replaced/rebuilt. This is replicated on multiple trucks with this transmission from 2016-2018. Evidence was slipping while shifting between 2-3rd gears. Dealership advised transmission needed completely replaced. Cost associated was ~$4000.

Transmission bumping or shuddering in 1st-4th gear.

My vehicle just randomly shuts off, mainly when making a turn. I took it in to the dealership and had several repairs made but none of them fixed the problem. It’s definitely dangerous I almost had a accident at least 3 times. I feel it’s electrical due to the fact everything shuts off, the dash usually flashes before it shuts off. All electronics shut down and the vehicle turns completely off with no control of steering. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s electrical so I’m searching for a solution.

Torque converter got stuck off.

Transmission drops out of gear with no warning. No forward or reverse. This is a potential hazard that if it had occurred on an interstate, whether it be causing an accident or getting hit by other vehicles trying to get to side of road. Vehicle is with a transmission repair shop currently. No repair records yet or actual cause. Mechanic informed me today that transmission needs to replaced due to economics that a rebuilt or re manufactured would be better option. Will save records if when I get all receipts for the repair.

Transmission temperature sensor failure exactly as described in special coverage n192291660 occurred on my vehicle.

I was driving down the road when the transmission would no longer change gears. There were no warning lamps or anything to indicate that this was going to happen.

Transmission would shudder when driving. Sometimes loud bang when shifting from first to second gear. Torque converter ultimately failed while crossing traffic. Truck would not move. No gears. Only 58,000 miles on transmission. Never used for hauling. Torque converter had broken metal parts that caused the fluid to become blocked so it could not drive. A rebuilt transmission needed to be installed at my cost.

Transmission died. Tried to merge highway traffic and wouldn’t accelerate. Push down gas pedal and mph didn’t change but rpm went to 6rpm. Finally engaged. Continued to shudder and hesitate but eventually smoothed out. Had to stop at a traffic light and it did the same thing. Next time I had to stop I completely lost forward motion. Pushed gas pedal and rpm at 6rpm and wouldn’t move. Transmission light came on and had to have it towed. Transmission is being replaced.

I just bought the vehicle in the summer of 2022 and the truck started to shudder so I took it to see if the tired were out of balance and they told me it sounded like a transmission issue. I took it to lynchburg transmission and they said after they ran their diagnostics test the transmission is shot and I need a new one. The vehicle only has 103,000 miles and should not need a new transmission on it. I have read online there are tons of 2016 chevy 1500s that have had transmission issues around the same mileage. This should be an issue that chevy should be addressing and recall.

My 2016 chevy silverado hit 100,000 and the transmission started to get clunky and finally went out a couple of days later. When the transmission went out we were stranded, had to call toe service. We had it toed to the closest service center and they said "this isn't the first one of these that they have seen, the transmissions should last way longer than 100k". Had them put a new transmission in the truck and that was about 8k that I wasn't ready to spend. There were not warning lights or anything on the dash stating there was anything wrong. I can't even tell you how disappointed I am, and I have owned chevy trucks my whole life.

The family was driving down a busy highway and we felt a strong rapid jerk and heard a loud pop sound. The 2016 chevy silverado felt very forced and would not go past 20 miles per hour and the rpm's were between 2 and 3. This problem placed our family at risk because the speed was reduced significantly and could have been hit from behind or could no safely exit the highway. An independent mechanic has checked the truck and confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced as he reproduced the issue on a test drive. No warning signs came on prior to the issue but only after we exited the highway did the "check engine" light came on when we parked. *** please note we had already replaced the original transmission in Nov. 2021, the exact same issue occurred at that time and it was replaced by a chevy dealership in pleasanton, TX due to the pan was full of metal shavings***.

I was driving in a state highway when without warning in traffic my truck stopped driving but the engine was still going. I have been to the dealer and complained about electronics like the radio just ceasing to work and the display unit as well as the erratic shift pattern of the transmission 3 times . Thankfully no one was injured and it was late night/ early morning hours, in moderate traffic we might have been injured. Upon looking at blogs and forums online and I am not the only one with these issues, it is a very costly repair. I was told by the mechanic he has another vehicle like mine for the same issue and apparently it’s related to the torque converter (in his words “most are problematic and inadequate from the factory” and the way the engine runs on less cylinders which in turn destroyed the valve body and pump in the transmission. The repair will end up costing me over $6000 now. I really just don’t want anyone injured as well as taken advantage of.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission was slipping and failed to properly accelerate. The contact stated that the vehicle lunged forward while attempting to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who confirmed that transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The transmission failed at 96,000 miles even though maintenance had been completed. This could have been a catastrophic failure on the highway my family or others at risk. The dealer has the truck now and confirmed a failed transmission. No warning signs other than odd behavior when accelerating which led to odd noises from the transmission.

The vehicle only has 118,000 miles on it and the transmission cooler lines are leaking and now I have a hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear and the same when the vehicle is downshifting as well.

Barking system. It seams like when I’m in the city the brakes will not engage properly, at some point I’ve had to use the emergency brake to stop. On the freeway the brakes work good but when running at low rpm it’s like the brakes go to the floor and the truck is still moving. I went to get my brakes inspected and brake pads are still good, brake fluid was good. They told me to bring it in when the brakes fail again so they could see what was happening. Transmission was replace at 65000 miles because of a faulty torque converter.

Have taken vehicle to dealership for service and they completed their 21 point inspection and never seem to find the electrical problem or the transmission issue, no transmission has completely stopped working. Shifting hard and truck will not move at times or will only travel at only 8 miles per hour.

The contact owns 2016 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. Additionally, while switching gears the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate forward and reverse. An independent mechanic came to the contact's residency and informed the contact that the transmission and engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

The lifters on one side of my engine failed. This is due to the afm(active fuel management) system that gm had in its vehicles from 2016-2021. My truck is a v8 motor and the afm system drops the motor to 4 cylinders during periods that the vehicle is in stop or coasting. Overtime the lifters in the engine wear out causing the engine to fail. I barely made it to the dealer to fix the issue as I lost full power in the engine nearly causing me to have an accident. The only notification I got was check engine light started blinking mid-stream on my way to work. The cost to repair lifters is extremely high and that is the reason why gm hasn't issued a recall yet. There are thousands of cases of failed lifters in my research online. Gm knew this was a problem as they have quit using the afm feature in all of their vehicles. My servicer at my dealership even told me that they have seen this problem on multiple occasions.

Vehicle takes 6 seconds before it does a hard shift into reverse. It also has hard jerks when switching gears. In April it was taken to don hall in which I was told that is how this model does and nothing could be done even though it was under a paid for extended warranty. The radio display also glitches out and is extremely faulty.

Power steering failed for the second time. First time dealer "flashed" ecu and solved the problem. Second time the ecu has been determined to be burned out. Not just burned out but not easily replaceable as it is welded to the rack and pinion steering! according to the VIN on the truck it shouldn't even need the recall. If not, then please tell me what would cause such a catastrophic failure in a vehicle with 26,000 miles on it. Does it take someones' death to be worthy of a recall?.

At only 72k on the truck while traveling at 70mph down the freeway the transmission started slipping out of gear causing the motor to rev up causing a loss of power. Luckily I managed to get the vehicle off of the freeway without incident. It seemed to go back to normal than continued to slip within 3-4 miles. It turns out that the transmission pump failed and damaged the entire transmission. The truck was taken into the dealer in approximately 2018/19 because of a transmission shudder, to which the dealership said it was normal and there were no issues with the truck.

My truck has 123,700 miles on it. I took my truck to m&t auto mechanic in grandville, michigan. They advised me I need a new transmission. I bought my truck from berger chevolet in grandville, michigan with zero issues. It had 59,000 miles on it when I bought it used. I have taken very good of this truck and I do not pull anything with it. I feel I should have gotten many more miles out of the transmission. I feel general motors is at fault for this. Can anyone help me out with this issue?.

I have had 2 separate issues 2 weeks apart with the transmission. The first one was "fixed". Now they are stating I need a new transmission.

It appears, after google research, that my torque converter is or has failed. Transmission shudder is happening on my 6 speed trans.

The transmission failed while driving on a highway the transmission went into limp mode reducing speed down to 1st gear almost causing a wreck . Codes read p0700 and p0796 . After drawing transmission fluid it looked like water in there fluid but I found out it's glycol. There is a recall on my year make and model but not by my VIN .

I have been experiencing this problem for years, but recently it has been getting worse. When accelerating from a stop there is a shudder in the transmission. The wheels feel like they slip or vibrate upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed. Sometimes the wheels don't spin, and I have to put the truck in 4-wheel drive for the wheels to catch. Sometimes while at a steady speed, like on a highway, the transmission slips and catches quickly, like little thumps. I only have 62,000 miles on my truck. I do not haul heavy loads or tow a trailer.

6l80 transmission filed /malfunctioned it is available or inspection . While driving down a highway running 65mph I noticed a slip in the transmission . All at once my transmission started dropping gears from 6th all the way down to 1st gear . Causing increased rpm . I was in the center lane of the highway and could not gain speed to keep up with traffic and was almost hit by a semi truck . As I only had 1st gear 10 mph . I finally managed to get the truck off the highway which left me stranded on the inside lane of a interstate no where to go . I had my family of 5 in my truck on the way home . If it had not been for the fast reaction of the semi driver my family would not be here today . When I got my truck towed home I ran a diagnostic which gave me the code p0796 pressure control soleniod c performance or stuck off. And p0700 transmission control system . I have seen so many youtube videos/ repair videos. Of the solenoid pack failure torque converter failure . Electrical failure for these trucks I dont understand why their is no recall .

My 2016 chevy Silverado 1500 has just over 100,000 miles, and the transmission is slipping and making a clunking noise which is going to require replacement with a new transmission. I bought this truck with 48,000 miles and it's my daily driver. This truck was not used to haul trailers with heavy loads. There should be a recall for the transmission on the 2016 chevy Silverado 1500. I had a 2008 chevy Silverado 1500, and it had no transmission issues with 275,000 miles on it when I traded it in.

Torque converter failed causing destruction of transmission.

Truck is at 130,000 and the transmission is about failing drastically. I have been telling the dealer that there was a problem with the transmission since 80-90k which the truck seemed to "slip" out of gear and slam into gear, was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I've heard that this year truck is known to have a bad transmission and nothing has been done to fix the issue.

6l80 transmission blew gears 1-3 at 84,000 miles under normal load. Extended warranty replaced the transmission with rebuilt one and it is slipping and overheating after four months of normal driving. Extended warranty will not cover again.

Transmission shudder and now after over 100,000 miles, the transmission is not giving enough power and possibly needs to be replaced.

Transmission 6 speed is acting crazy by jumping without giving it gas, stalling , transmission is garbage.
