One problem related to steering is loose has been reported for the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 based on all problems reported for the 2016 Silverado 2500.
The steering is very loose/excessive lash. Up to 4 inches of free steering wheel travel. Not as noticeable from 0-40 or over 70mph but in between is very noticeable! this also makes the truck seem "darty" when changing directions on winding roads and uneven spots in the pavement. I took my truck to the dealer and they said that it is a very common problem in the 2500 trucks and they dont understand why it isnt a recall. Parts and labor to fix a "design flaw" gear in the steering box $2,000. This is ridiculous that a 2016 model vehicle with 42,000 miles has this issue. This is most definitely a serious safety issue! after researching this problem I have notice a lot of complaints with this model truck having the same issue. In some of the reports that I have seen some of the trucks are having the same problem with less than 15,000 miles.
