NHTSA Complaint #11044670 — 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

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.
