2016 Silverado complaints

[@1Korse]

The fog lights turn off every time you turn the truck off because you are not supposed to be driving with your fog lights on all the time. In some states, like the one I live in, it is actually illegal to drive with your fog lights on if it is not foggy out.

[@larrylucas5731]

So true. Texas is like that.

[@waldrepveronica2877]

Stop Complaining you have a brand new truck ENJOY it, I wish i had a 2016 silverado Midnight Edition.

[@abcabc-ok7cl]

Waldrep Veronica right me tooo😩😩😩

[@jdmozee12]

Mine has gotten 29mpg

[@Texasbroski512]

Love you veronica

[@raisekanegoingham35]

Waldrep Veronica you would complain to if you’d paid 40k and there were problems with the vehicle

[@thervguyofpa2205]

Fog lights? Fog lights? Dude, heaven for bid you have to take 1/3 of a second to turn on a fog light. Wow. This video was 6 minutes of my life I will never get back.

[@ian9480]

I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado, that makes the same squeak noise you described. I haven't done anything about it yet I've just been ignoring it. Did you ever find out what it is??

[@NECARLOG]

Squeek was a valve in the exhaust when it goes into v4 mode. Dealer replaced exhaust at no charge. It is a known issue so you should be able to bring it up with your dealer.

[@supertrucker12916]

Yup it's a little flapper just behind the muffler that creates the squeak so far the dealership replaced my exhaust twice and now it's doing it again and my truck only has 7,000 miles on it

[@freshglow5826]

@@NECARLOG if not getting it fixed would it effect performance??

[@danielcartonn4208]

the center console squeak is a couple of tabs on the underside of the lid rubbing plastic on plastic. I shaved mine down, and the squeak disappeared

[@Texasbroski512]

Oh poor you i have to turn on my foglights when i want to use them even though some 2016 dont even have foglights

[@awesomeguy7443]

Why is that i actually want to get a bumper with fog but havent really bother to look because of this virus...

[@supertrucker12916]

My 2016 Silverado has the squeak also theres a flapper just behind the muffler that closes when in 4 cylinder mode I took my truck back to frenchies Chevrolet and their first fix was they sprayed penetrating spray on it yea what do you think is going to happen when the exhaust gets hot it burns off so an hour later I'm heading back to dealership because the squeak is back so now they replaced the exhaust from the cat back then at 7,000 miles the squeak came back and once again the dealership sprayed penetrating fluid on it and I ended up back for another exaugst system then a month later the same noise came back so I cut the valve out and welded in a piece of pipe my truck has absolutely no noticeable change in performance and the squeak is gone another problem I have had is the back doors wouldn't open no more than a few inches then the radio and instrument cluster stopped working and I've had a bad vibration from the day I bought it new every day I notice something else wrong like once in awhile one of my headlights stops working until I shut the truck off and restart it and the light comes back on I probably should have bought a ford this way I could expect to have problems

[@psyfertech]

im sure its been said but i have a 16 sierra the squeek is from the exhaust valve when it switches from v8 to v4 does it on all of these trucks i saw one guy that wired it so it stays open but idk what else you could do if you lube it it will probably burn off from the heat but i just dont worry about it im getting an exhaust put on eventually my biggest complaint about these is the transmission the way its tuned i hate how it shifts too quickly always wants to go to 5th gear as quick as possible so dumb

[@02mp9696]

Got the small squeak from the valve also. I have the 19' z71, 18' body style. I fixed this issue with a new duel exhaust lol. But ya, only 1800km on the truck. But i have a 7 year warranty so its not a big issue if a problem arises. I've always had used vechicles, and paying for parts I'm done with.

[@blaneylissette9219]

Chevy has some issues with vibration from a few things i have read but i assume yours must not be that bad.

[@Gmanautonut]

just a little picky,lol...so do you still have the truck? how many miles?hows the transmission??

[@NECARLOG]

I no longer have this truck I sold it to make buying a house easier.

[@Okley701]

Did test drive the truck? My 2016 is the shit

[@gmoney9068]

I've got a 2017 Silverado and I think #3 (?) is an issue of mine. I'm referring to the seat issue. To me if feels as if you were sitting on an old couch or chair of sorts and a spring was broken or dislodged, etc. For my Silverado to have only 9800 miles on it and have an issue like that is a bit disheartening. Have you heard of any solutions or such? And thank you for posting your video. Very helpful.

[@ostlerjacalyn2391]

I am having similar issues with my truck let me know how it turns out.

[@Strunz0]

The squeak you're hearing is most likely the back pressure valve on the exhaust. It's got an external spring that you could probably spray with WD40 or grease it and see if you still hear the noise

[@Cwoody12345]

The squeak is the active fuel management It is from going from 4 cylinders back to 8 because you hit the gas pedal

[@freshglow5826]

Ohhh wow I was wondering why mine did that!

[@navasami7813]

are you going to make a video on the things you like about the silverado? I have a sierra and love it.

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

My Buddy has one & his center console cell phone charger (wireless) doesn’t work. His Nav display flickers & flashes from 1 screen to another. His transmission jerks when it shifts. So when you go from a red light you feel this jerking in & out motion that bugs me but he doesn’t care. lol Is there an on/off feature for the wireless charger?

[@larrylucas5731]

Sounds like a bad ground wire (loose)

[@israeljaimee4905]

The noise under the truck is similar to my 2014 i believe it may be when switching from v4 to v8 mode

[@helmsjenine3006]

Please update us with what the Chevrolet Dealer says after you bring it in for service.

[@southwellberyl1761]

I have a 2017 silverado and it does not have any of the issues that you have listed.

[@gvbrasil1]

No more Chevy truck my first and last Chevy Silverado

[@fishingislife8298]

This is the type of customer I would hate to fucking have at the dealership where I work I would blow my brains out

[@Streetglidescotty70]

there was a recall on the driver seats

[@woofman4796]

yup.. got mine shimmed

[@rogerheatley8494]

My tonneau (Gatorback trifold, cheap one lol)cover flutters which vibrates my truck but it very subtle.

[@Whybecouseitsred]

I got a 2016 silverado i got 105000km on it now. Super reliable truck. Only thing is when i press the traction control button it lies and doesnt turn off completely and in 4x4low it shifts like a Sherman tank.. and when driving down grades on gravel in 4x4 hi at less than 30km in m2 it will not down shit into first unless under throttle or till it hits 30 my girlfriend has bad neck and dogs gets caught off guard with the hard jerk. If i could change the head rest and that it would be perfect.

[@monierlurlene2542]

cant wait to see what you find out.

[@shadowing48]

5 minutes of this guy complaining about squeaks and rattles in a truck 😂 great content man excellent

[@MrAndyNich]

I've had my 16 Silverado slip into " M1 " while driving without me hitting anything. If I do that on highway I'll get plowed into. It's also to easy to bump it out of drive with your right knee. My Sierra you had to put a little arm strength into it. Silverado barely tap it to oh no.

[@woofman4796]

i don't have the squeaking issue,, plus i am getting a range technology AFM module soon, to over ride the v4 mode to keep it in v8 mode,, i have a 2016 silverado z71 off road , rally 2 edition,, i love it,, the driver's seat issue is a known issue,, take it to your dealer and they will put a nylon shim in it,, i had mine fixed,, the vibration is from the torque converter, google it,, they use a diiferent one in the 2017 models,, you can get a bottle of transmission shutter fix on amazon,, a red hot dog looking tube you squirt into the dip stick hole, or you can request a tranny flush at your dealer,, if the flush doesn't fix it,, a torque converter change is needed, and, i like the fact that the fog lights are manual, i don't like being blinded by other driver's so i don't do it to others,, i love my truck,, artic white, black out edition,, 22 inch black wheels, two tone black stripes

[@commonsenserulesall9500]

Did you end up buying the range AFM blocker?

[@woofman4796]

my truck only shutters and shakes when i'm driving near a democrat or liberal,, it gets a whole body shiver

[@Foxxtrott1100]

My 16 Midnight feels labored and sluggish off the line after my tranny service. Pisses me off. Truck shifted great for 40k, then I get the recommended service and the dealer fucked it. My seat clicks to and the adjustable pedeals. They only do it in certain positions. Didn't notice this shit when first bought. Seems like the rolling resistance of the Duratracs... Who knows

[@NECARLOG]

Sorry they messed up your transmission. I wonder if it is a new tune they may have put in the transmission as an update rather than a mechanical issue. My vibration issues seem to be better now that they have re-balanced my tires.

[@Foxxtrott1100]

NE CAR LOG Thanks... Dealer said bring it back. I forgot to ask. How have your Duratracs been? Mine got so bad it sounded like I had bad wheel bearings. Had to replace all 4.

[@NECARLOG]

Mine only has 18K Miles on it now and they still have plenty of tread and not bad as far as noise or vibration. More vibration than a street tire but not bad compared to some mud and other all terrain tires.

[@brettheller9257]

2015 Silverado 5th Engine 2nd transmission 2nd air condition condenser, 2nd Radiator. 120,0000 miles. Started way before 120,000 wish I had a Silverado that I could keep at home more than at the Chevy dealer. Payments come Due, Insurance Etc.

[@joshassouline5255]

sounds like you are doing something wrong....

[@abeltorres7108]

My drivers seat makes the same clicking noise Chevy fixed it once but it is happening again.

[@treerobo6864]

the sqeaking is comming when the truck jumps from 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder

[@joey08721]

Sounds like your expectations are way too high and judgement. Like damn. For that nice of a truck that can do work and work as hard as any tradesman, I’d expect it from a guy or person like you. Unfortunately I thought to wrong. Uptight about the truck. Just drive it.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Have a 17 High Country 6.2L one thing that annoys me is the clarity of the rear camera it sucks and yes the lens is clean. Anyone else have this issue?

[@NECARLOG]

Anthony Macneil my rear camera is pretty clear so I haven't seen that issue.

[@luedtkelyn1949]

My 2015 Silverado 1500 Has the same noise when cruising

[@Texasbroski512]

Diesel shirt in a gas lol

[@lupillocovarrubias]

I have the same problems wt my Silverado high country 2016 plus the vibration , i dont think a $45k pick up should be like earthquakes

[@magnodonnell804]

Great Video Lets see more of the truck

[@boilermoose227]

I agree with the window feature. My friend had that feature on her car and one day it was pouring down rain and she accidentally put something down on her keys that happen to push and hold the unlock button which also opened all four windows. She didn't realize for a few minutes. Then once she did notice what happen she had to run outside to put the windows back up.

[@CarlosRamirez-ij8mo]

Bro this guys is such a whiner, sounds like he shouldn’t be driving a pick truck more like a Prius

[@liratonja9652]

Great Video Keep it up!

[@DraftsHouse]

squeaking noise is when the truck goes from v4 to v8 mode same thing happens to mine apparently its normal

[@NECARLOG]

I really hope they don't consider that normal. They can turn off the v4 mode if that's the case.

[@DraftsHouse]

im pretty sure there is an after market tune that turns it off but the tune voids the warranty so i am waiting until my warranty expires. hopefully there is another solution to the problem because it is very annoying.

[@Strunz0]

Try greasing the back pressure valve that's near the muffler. There's an external spring that is most likely making the noise

[@jeffmiller4053]

Afm disabler chip $180

[@choctawoutlaw7288]

mine does that v4 to v8 squeak and it drives me crazy if I focus on it.

[@MrAndyNich]

I love my 16.

[@brianthomas5050]

Chevy like a crumbling ROCK

[@ze3bar]

I love my 2018. Yesterday I drove from Calgary to Edmonton and it averaged 9.5 L/100km!

[@NECARLOG]

ze3bar they really are great trucks I need to make a video on all the good things about it

[@stevenbrewer7314]

ze3bar Does your truck shifts hard? So how's the ride and handling?

[@ze3bar]

Steven Brewer mine is a Z71 and on 22” wheels so, it’s a little harsh over bumps but still very comfortable and smooth. The shifts are also very smooth. Occasionally, if I’m sudden with the brake, the down shift from 3-2 is harsh but smooth otherwise. In fact, when you’re slowing down it rev matches! Very sophisticated truck. When I take a phone call, it turns the fan down so I can hear and puts it back on when the call’s done!

[@woofman4796]

i have a z71 off road too

[@tophatnews6678]

Dog get rid of that clown get yourself in SS Intimidator 2006 if you can get one you won't have any problem but just pure V8 power

[@imfromcaliforniaimfromcali2893]

Malibu is horrible ride! Try climb out back or front for that mater.

[@robertchew8167]

It's a GM. There's your answer
