General Motors mistake

2016 Chevy 2500 HD High Country. I have owner this truck new for 3 1/2 months now & I've had it back to the dealer twice for water leaks. I owned a GMC 1500 before the chevy that leaked too. Shame on me for trying GM again. The dealer has been great for trying to fix the leak. General Motors on the other hand has done nothing but read from a script of lines to make it sound like they are concerned about you. I wish General Motors would pull there collective heads out of the back side & address the problems that they are having with a bunch of there model vehicles introducing water into the cabin and trunk areas.

The ride is harsh, compatible with a vehicle of this towing capacity. Overall it is an excellent truck.

Junker

I drive the truck as an oilfield lease operator. It is a piece of junk. The brakes started rattling at 15000 miles. It has had three sets of brakes with only 70000 miles. Both C.v joints have had to be replaced. The wind caught the doors and sprang both driver and passenger side. The airbag has been worked on twice. Runs decent and the ride is okay for a 3/4 ton, but something is always broke. Please rethink buying this truck if you have to work out of it.

Known transmission issues

Very disappointed that manufacturers know there is a torque converter clutch issue. And won't issue a recall. Now I only have 93,000 miles on it (not my daily driver) and it needs new transmission. I only use truck to haul. Never abused. And I have to spend 6,000 on new one. According to mechanic and dealership it's a known problem in all the chevys. Sad mine ran out of warranty. Was told if they put a new transmission in it. It will be same transmission with same issues. With only 3 year, 100,000 mile warranty. I won't put that many miles in 3 years. Very disappointed.

Catchy Title for this Silverado

Sans Serif, 11/30/2022
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (6.0L 8cyl 6A)

I would never again spend this much money for a vehicle that I had not personally inspected first. (It was located over 800-miles away and required shipping.) Yes, the seller had pretty much what I wanted, but because they're in the "sales" business, they're only going to share as little as needed to make a deal. (Their pics were great.) The vehicle came with some steering issues that have cost me another $1.2k to deal with, and there's yet more to be addressed in the 4WD mode. The dealer (or someone else) did a nice job cleaning it up, but golly gee howdy Bob, this rig has been rode hard and put away wet. As I used to say to my customers in another business, "There's no problem here that a little more money won't solve." And that's the case with this rig.

Chevy Silverado 2500!

This was my first Chevy buy, and it is a blast. I will never go back to a Ford again. The Silverado is very reliable, and easy to drive. I bought it about a month ago and it has had absolutely no problems. It is a must buy if you need a new car.

Why I did not buy

I bought a ram 2500 because Chevy/gmc dropped powertrain warranty from 100,000 to 60,000 (to save the consumer money). If General Motors doesn't stand behind there product than neither can I. Mind you this was the first truck I have had that was not a Chevy or gmc.

I have owned several new vehicles, this is by far worse than any vehicle I've had (new or old). Been back to dealership 4 times in two months, totaling 11 days in shop. I will never buy another GM product or from Apple valley Chevy in martinsburg wv.
