A total lemon

I’ve spent over $400 trying to fix the AC unit and it still blows blazing hot air in the hot humid Georgia summer instead of cold air. Transmission gave out recently and still awaiting the repairs to be complete. Chevy seriously needs to issue a recall on both the AC and the transmission as several mechanics have told me this is a common problem in the 2016 Chevy Silverado but unfortunately GM is too greedy and expects customers to pay out of pocket for expensive repairs on a young vehicle unlike Ford which takes responsibility for defective trucks. I will not buy another Chevy unless GM starts following Ford’s example and issues recalls for this kind of crap

2016 LTZ

I've had five brand new trucks before this one. A 2016 chevy Silverado LTZ is by far the worst truck I have ever had. Since I bought it, it have given me nothing but problems. I took it to two different chevy dealerships to get it fixed and they have not fixed it yet. (They identified the problem but they have no way to fix it yet. Some kind of [non-permissible content removed] with the gasoline) but the truck does not respond the way it should. I'm not only mad with the dealerships but I am even more upset with the company, GENERAL MOTORS. I notified them with the problem but they said "give us 48 hours to resolve the problem". They got back to me with the same [non-permissible content removed]. They said that they know what the problem is, but they don't know how to fix it yet. In the mean time I have to drive the truck the way it is, until they find a solution. I will definitely trade this truck for another brand after ten years of being a loyal customer of chevy. Just because of the way GENERAL MOTORS handles this kind of situation. -David Cazares

Awesome truck, very pleased. Owned a 2007 LTZ and was very satisfied with it's service but this is so much more truck. The only negative so far is the Google play app and charging pad function does not seam to work. Had the software downloaded at the dealer but my phone still does not charge on the pad.

Trouble Shifting to Truck

Have owned two Chevy Vans last 18 years never an issue. Wanted a truck to pull my boat. Chose to stay with Chevy given the track record. Truck shifts hard in the low gears. Cold starting the truck jerks into gear and when down shifting it is harder than it should be. Should not feel it down shift. Took it to the dealer and their mechanic got it to down shift hard in parking lot but he said thinks it will smooth out over time. Otherwise I love the truck, comfortable, smooth ride on both highway and around town. Gas mileage is
