NHTSA Complaint #11075128 — 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

ISSUE SINCE NEW: ONLY 100 MILES. LEAF SPRINGS ON 2016 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LT 4X4 TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ALL THEY WILL DO IS PLACE GREASE PACKS ON LEAF SPRINGS, QUIETING (MASKING) THE REAL ISSUE. THIS TEMPORARY "FIX" LAST ONLY APPROX. 7 DAYS AND THE LOUD BANGING AND BOUNCING OF BED IS BACK. THE VIBRATION THAT IS CAUSES IN CAB ALONG WITH THE BOUNCING GIVES PASSENGERS HEADACHES AND IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR TERRIBLE WEAR OF TIRES. TRUCKS TIRES FROM FACTORY ARE ALSO BAD AND UNSAFE. IN FOR SERVICE AND DID NOTHING. WAS STATED THAT THEY WERE 100,000 MILES TIRES.... ALL TIRES CUPPED AND WORN TO 40% AND TRUCK ONLY HAD 24,000 MILES. CALLED DEALER TO HAVE ISSUE ADDRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES - THEY BLAMED THE OWNERS. WE DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK (MAINLY HIGHWAY), KEEP IT CLEAN... MAINTAIN IT TO PERFECTION AND NO OFF ROAD DRIVING OF ANY SORT. NO WAY THIS IS AN OWNER-INDUCED ISSUE. LEAF SPRINGS NEED TO BE RECALLED.... ALONG WITH THE GOODYEAR TIRES PROVIDED BY FACTORY. HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE ISSUES FIXED THROUGH DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY GM WILL NOT PAY THEM SO THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER REMEDIES. NO TIRE FIX, AND ONLY TEMPORARY ONE WEEK 'MASKING FIX' FOR THE LEAF SPRING ISSUE.
