2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Steering

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE STEERING BECAME VERY LOOSE AND HARD TO CONTROL. STEERING HAD 2-3' SLOP AND MADE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. PROBLEM NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30MPH. LOOKED INTO ISSUE AND FOUND OIL LEAKING OUT OF STEERING BOX ADJUSTMENT SCREW. FOUND ADJUSTMENT SCREW HAD BACKED OUT OF HOUSING CAUSING EXCESSIVE BACKLASH IN STEERING BOX AND OIL LEAK. RETORQUED SCREW.

LOOSE STEERING, OR JUST SLOPPY STEERING. SEVERAL INCHES EACH DIRECTION WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. LIKE DRIVING A FIFTIES MODEL CAR. MY 2012 MODEL THE STEERING WOULD COMPLETELY GO OUT, THIS ONE KEEPS GETTING LOOSE. SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE. GOING BACK INTO THE SHOP. SECOND ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. ALSO THIS HIGH DOLLAR TRUCK HAS A SOUND SYSTEM THAT ON AM RADIO SOUNDS LIKE THE SPEAKERS ARE BUSTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THE DEALER (GROSS MOTORS, 404 E. DIVISION STREET, NEILLSVILLE, WI 54456, 715-743-3207) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED ALL OVER GARAGE FLOOR ALSO LOUD NOISE COMING FROM POWER STEERING. UPDATED 12/18/18*JB

VEHICLE STEERING GEAR FAILURE ON MY 2016 CHEVROLET K2500 TRUCK . TRUCK WOULD WONDERS BACK FORTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD,,PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL. STARTS OUT SMALL THEN GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. THIS FAILURE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BECAUSE THERE MAY BE OTHER OTHER FAILURES OUT THERE THAT ARE NOT BEING REPORTED . THIS CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF CONTROL YOU HAVE WHILE DRIVING. TALKED TO GM REP, HE GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND AND THAT GM IS NOT RESPONSIBLY FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. THEN WHO IS RESPONSIBLY FOR THE INSTILLATION OF DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE PARTS.

JUST NOTICED THERE WAS PLAY IN THE STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN MOVE 2-3 INCHES WITHOUT RESPONSE. THIS CAUSES OVER CORRECTION WHEN DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRACK OUT OF ITS LANE. TRUCK HAS 11,0000 MILES.

STEERING IS GETTING LOOSER AND LOOSER WHEN DRIVING WITH ONLY 59,000 MILES ON TRUCK. ALSO STEERING GEAR BOX LEAKING AND DEALER SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND CHARGED ME.

4" OF PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL, 19500 MILES ON TRUCK, VEHICLE WANDERS WHEN DRIVING, WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY, VERY DANGEROUS.

STEERING WHEEL DEVELOPS 3 TO 4 INCHES OF SLOPPINESS OR LASH. LASH WILL CHANGE ACCORDING TO SPEED. UNDER 25 MPH NO LASH. BUT AT HIGHER SPEEDS LASH DEVELOPS. HARD TO KEEP VEHICLE IN CENTER OF LANE. ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING MOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS WITH CURVES

THERE IS 2-4 INCHES OF PLAY/SLACK IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ALL BALL JOINTS AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE FINE. VERY DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. 26,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THANKS

THE STEERING IS SLOPPY. HAVE ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES OF PLAY IN IT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON IT.

OVER A PERIOD OF APROX 600 MILES/3DAYS, THE STEERING HAS GONE FROM NEAR 0 SLACK/PLAY TO WELL OVER 1 1/2 INCHES OF PLAY RESULTING ERRATIC STEERING RESPONSE WHICH, WHEN ON NARROW HIGHWAYS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STAY IN YOUR LANE. SEVERAL OCCASIONS HAD CLOSE CALLS BOTH WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC AND WITH RUNNING OFF ROAD. IS OBVIOUS MOST PROBLEMATIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ~65 MPH, THE STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME VERY LOOSE. HAD ABOUT 4 INCHES OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL BEFORE THE TIRES WOULD TURN. VERY HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE IN LANE.

'STEERING EXTREMELY LOOSE; STEERING BOX LEAKING FLUID. STEERING WORSENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT ON ROAD DUE TO EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL.

EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY MOST NOTABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH

EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL PLAY OR (LASH). WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 3 INCHES PAST CENTER TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE TRUCK HAS NO RESPONSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR LANE BECAUSE OF CHANGING ROAD GRADES AND CROWNS. ALSO THE TRUCK DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR UNTIL THE 15,000 MILE MARK. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE. GM HAS RELEASED TSB DOCUMENTS (PIT5501F) DEALING WITH IT, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A 3/4 TON TRUCK WITH UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING!!!!!

ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THERE BECAME BETWEEN 3 AND 31/2 INCHES OF SLACK IN THE STEERING. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DARTED TO THE SIDE. COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A COLLISION. THE PRIVATE MECHANIC I SPOKE WITH OVER THE PHONE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AS DID THE DEALERSHIP WE SPOKE WITH. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SUDDEN SLACK IN THE STEERING BOX. COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION! ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS HAVE NO SLACK EXCEPT THE STEERING BOX.

AT 7500 MILES MY TRUCKS STEERING BECAME REALLY LOOSE. COULD MOVE 2 TO 3 INCHES WITH OUT ANY WHEEL MOVEMENT. WHICH CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. *TR
