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
Awesome truck

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.

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

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

My wife and I went to the dealership to look for a truck for me, found it!; and she found a sweet little sedan which went home with us too. We were in and out in record time, and they had our new vehicles ready for us the next day. Great experience; we recommend them.

Wanted a Ford f-150 aluminum body but could get enough rebates to make my payment where I needed it to be. I went looked at silverado 1500 I have 6 speed Auto transmission with 5.3L engine. Sticker price 47know but with employee discount and all rebates was able get it down to 34k...... 18" rims looks good and handles great...... only 1000 miles on it so far. Very quite inside while driving on Highway. Gas mileage 15-24 mpg but not a lead foot. Still trying to adjust to body style don't like the boxie look yet. Bought it because a lot of truck for the money compared to ford trucks...... think the steel body much stronger but weights more and will rust years later...... all in all its very nice truck for the money..... leather heated seats and many other options

I've owned the LT 5.3L V8, 4WD double cab, Z71 edition now for 10,500 miles and love everything about it. It looks great, drives great, pulls my 7x14 trailer just fine, and handles everything I've needed it to do. I enjoy the product and the confidence that comes with it. Very happy.

Getting a new/used truck was a big deal and big purchase for me being recently retired. I read everything on all the full-size pickups. The JD Powers 5 star rating for reliability meant a lot to me in making my decision for the Silverado . I have family and friends that love their Fords but have issues with them after 5 years or so. I like the Ram and owned one before ( rode like a buckboard) but couldn’t get around the actual gas mileage, lack of comfort and finish level. Toyota’s high cost and gas mileage just got it a “nope” . I’ve owned my Silverado for 4 months now and really love it. I purchased it online at a dealership out of state sight unseen , as I was specific on regular cab shortbed ( last years sold in America) Priced locally it was 5k more and local dealership hustle/ drama pissed me off. it was 3 years and 7 months old when purchased, with a year and a half left on factory powertrain warranty. The dealership included a lifetime powertrain warranty for free. It had 40,000 1 owner miles on it and I carfaxed it for care and history, the truck was flawless with new tires. I paid $15,995 + shipping. Plan on keeping it forever.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 LTZ 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 8A)

I bought a 2016 Z71 Midnight Edition Silverado new off the lot and from day 1 the tranny clunked and banged at non demanding speeds... seems to work better under heavy demand or when your really working the truck. I read countless reviews of people having the same problems... and I couldn't agree more. It doesn't ever seem to know what gear it should be in and tries to shift into overdrive every chance it gets, mostly in moments when it should be holding in a lower gear.... which then results in the unnecessary bogging/clunking/ banging high RPM downshift... I know that Chevy isn't known for their trannys but I thought by now they would have it figured out... I guess not... I have always been a Ford guy, and after this only Chevy purchase, looks like I will be going back. The only other complaint I have is that they put this nice huge on board screen in the truck but you can't sync GPS up to it.... at least not that I figured out, so its only used as a music/call screen.... On positive note, I give Chevy the gold for comfort and styling... definitely rides better than any Ford I ever had and has beautiful inside/outside styling with full blown LED everything which I really like. I just wish they would recall to fix the tranny issue....or put more R&D into solving the problem for future.
