Creating a new root by itself will not solve anything. The problem you have is 
with trust. It's up to you to offer a root that can be used as a trust anchor. 
Reasons why the 2016 root has become unsuitable for this have been discussed in 
detail.

The way out can be creating a new root, but that makes only sense if/when you 
are sure all problems have been solved and will not happen with the 
certificates that would be issued from this new root. If you are not 100% sure 
about this, the new root will most likely soon become as useless (for thrust) 
as the old one. Please don't do it before you are ready.
