According to similar CBS news story, this is 2nd time for SAME problem. GM sure this time?https://boston.cbslocal.com/2018/09/13/gm-recall-pickup-trucks-suvs-power-steering/
Rival Ford has offered downsized turbocharged engines for years on its F-150 to improve fuel economy, but now Chevy is taking the concept even further. The standard engine on LT and RST trim levels is a 2.7-liter turbocharged inline-four, making the Silverado the only full-size truck available with a four-cylinder engine. The new engine also features cylinder deactivation, allowing it to shut off two cylinders under light loads to save fuel, and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Digital Trends drove it and walked away impressed.
ABS and lane departure protects the driver of the car too, or are you saying that your driving abilities are such that you can do a better job of modulating wheel lock up than a computer than can do it on an individual wheel basis?
Right on jagboi. In my case it was nothing as severe, but even a gentle nudge or resistance on the wheel can be incredibly unnerving when you’re on the highway in the rain and use the steering to feel for what the traction conditions are like and are holding a line around a curve on the highway. In my case passing a semi and holding myself towards the left edge of the outer lane.
According to trucks.com, the problem came up from an electrical software issue where warning signs would include an alert in the Driver Information Center and temporary disabling of the radio, stabilitrack, DIC, chimes, door-lock cycling, air-conditioning or cruise control.
There are distinct rewards for making the 4L60E investment. Most importantly, the controllers make it very easy to establish exact shift points for each up-shift. It will also allow adjustment of shift firmness all within the control of either a simple hand-held device, or in some cases, sophisticated software that can be tuned via a laptop. An example would be the ability to set the exact WOT shift points with a couple of keystrokes, instead of struggling for six to eight hours with a recalcitrant governor.
We werenât in the truck for very long, and we didnât get to deep dive into the dashboard tech or interior trim options, as this was an engine program only. But we did get enough of the flavor of the gas-powered engine options for 2019 to give a decent accounting of whatâs coming down the road. The short version: 2019 will be a very good year for the Chevy Silverado.
Featuring Chevy’s active noise cancellation, Traverse is a quiet cabin filled with short- and long-trip conveniences. A humidity sensor that detects moisture and diverts air to the windshield to help prevent fogging, and a great list of safety technologies, including a surround-view camera, lane keeping and lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, and forward collision alert with low- and high-speed braking, are part of the Premier packaging.
Chevrolet has performed a major redesign on the Silverado for 2019, and it has been rolling it out in stages. We drove the new 2.7-liter turbo and 5.3-liter engines in a test mule a couple months ago, and we recently got to spend time with the actual production versions of the new Silverado.
The GM rep suggested that I not use the truck off road or on bumpy dirt roads. I brought up the fact that this is a ZR2, arguably GM’s most off-road worthy vehicle, and the rep suggested again that I not use the truck in situations that the truck might interpret as a rollover.
My psychologist explained to me that often (most?) times, anger directed towards external things is due to internal problems. It’s caused when you are forced to see yourself in a less than positive way.
Just a quick Google search brings up other Chevy Colorado off-road airbag deployment stories. A user going by the name Airmon on the messaging board Coloradofans.com says he was driving his ZR2 diesel on some dunes, when the bags popped off, writing:
