ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Tailgate got water in it. Continues to open repeatedly, user cannot stop it. Same part is recalled on 2500 HD and 3500 HD models. However, Silverado 1500 models (with the same tailgate switch part) are not currently covered by recall. This results in dead battery, open tailgate on the road - and contents of bed spilling onto highway. Vehicle further stalls due to electrical draw, causing total loss of usage, including brakes, steering, etc. I have video of the tailgate triggering and opening on its own.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
We have had several issues with our vehicle from early ownership, such as, (1) signal light goes from very fast blinking to working. We have taken it to the dealership and are told they cannot duplicate the issue. It seems to correct itself when you turn off the truck and turn it back on. (2) the digital screen about the steering wheel where all all your gauges are have gone completely black. I took it to the dealership and was told that they had to keep the truck until they could duplicate the issue, but again, turning off and then turning it back on seemed to help. Sometimes it works on the first restart, and others it takes a few times and longer times between restarts. (3) OnStar has stopped communicating with my vehicle about a year, year and half in. (4) Google maps has never worked. (5) Remote starts works sometimes. (6) Auto-shut off works sometimes. (7) Air Conditioner started having issues last summer. We have to turn off and on the vehicle or rev up the engine so that it will kick in. This works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. (7) ESC and traction control lights came on, the truck starts shaking, and brakes locked. Truck had to be towed to nearest dealership. The truck only had 12K miles when this happened. (8) Around the same mileage, an injector had to be replaced. (9) Now at 52K miles, we have the ESC, traction control, and check engine light again. Truck is shaking, feels like the gears are slipping when you press on gas, and has white smoke coming from the mufflers. These issues have been report to both local dealership and GM corporate office. these issues have left us stranded 300 miles from home and has left us without air conditioner in 3-digit weather when we had our grandbaby with us.

Was on a trip 6hrs from home when the truck began to have a pecking noise. The truck suddenly lost power. There wasn’t a shoulder to pull onto so there I sat in the middle of the road waiting on a toll truck. Had the vehicle towed to a dealership where they informed me the engine was locked up. Had to get a rental to get home.

When driving this vehicle on 1/9/25, I was on my way home with my wife from hospital. She was post c section and in very fragile state. The truck was in turning lane when it started making a strange noise and immediately shut off out of no where. There were no lights or warnings on dash. It was extremely cold and we had no heat. We called several tow truck companies to see who could immediately tow our truck to dealer as we were in a very bad location, freezing cold and almost were rear ended several times due to being in this turning lane. Tow truck arrived, had to completely stop traffic for us to enter into another vehicle to make it home. Mind you my wife could barely walk due to her operation. This was a very horrible experience. We bought this specific truck as a family vehicle because we thought it was reliable and safe. The truck was towed to dealer where it had been serviced since purchased and was confirmed that the engine would need to be replaced. We looked online and seen that many people had same issue but no official recall has been put out. We called the GMC recall center and they have been attempting to get us a replacement vehicle as we have a newborn and other children and now have no family vehicle to drive. The recall center has told us there has been an engine ordered but they do not have a date when it will arrive. We are almost two months into this situation with no answers or resolutions still having to make a payment on a vehicle we cannot even drive, nor are we able to purchase a new one because of this.

I have a 22 5.3L V8 trail boss 86k miles was running great prior.Truck gears started slipping and was able to get it home. Started the next day and check engine light came on and no reverse. Was able to get it to the dealership with the reduced engine power warning. I dropped it off Friday 2/21 and was immediately diagnosed with the bad valve body issue/code. Service was very vague with me at first and gave me 2 options Valve body replacement with an estimate of $3100.00 or a full transmission of $8,000.00. No mention if this was common when asked. Makes sense as to why they did not drop the pan when I asked if they checked the fluid. If this is a common issue I feel as they were trying to lure me into a new transmission for the extra money. That doesnt give me a great feeling with the dealership or chevy in general. I went with the valve body replacement and he said he would order the parts. I called this past week just for an update and asked about parts and then they alluded that they were on backorder from GM not another dealership and he thought he mentioned that. There is no way to track the parts? No loaners available I rely on my truck a lot for work and transporting my family of 4 around. Not very optimistic after reading thats this is a major problem. Has anyone else experienced the brevity when asking for answers? Has anyone else had to pay for this out of pocket? Im expecting the worst and hoping for the best but not really sure where to go from here other than wait.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
approx. 8 weeks ago, The OnStar Module stopped working. Took it in for repair, dealer tells me "No ETA on a replacement part, we will keep in touch" After further investigation, I went on the OnStar and Chevy message boards, and I've discovered that this issue has been going on for over 6 months in some cases and there are ALOT, i mean ALOT of people having the same problem. This problem causes all of the remote options to stop working among other things as well. In most cases people have paid a subscription up front for a year.

I received an email from OnStar Notifications on February 22, 2025 at 3:54 am stating my truck had 5% oil life remaining. I have had my oil changed at every required time with the required type of engine oil. I had my oil changed on February 22, 2025 at 3:33 pm. The oil change technician stated that no oil showed on the dip stick. Anytime I have my oil changed, I always check the dipstick to make sure the oil is registering where it should be on the dipstick. It has always been correct. No low oil light warning has ever came on. I looked up to see if these engines were having any issues and found that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has an open investigation on their website posted on January 17, 2025 regarding the 2019 – 2024 model years GM 6.2L V8 engine failures based on complaints of bearing failure – resulting in either engine seizure or breaching of the engine block by the connecting rod. The complaints also stated that there is no detectability prior to the failure. I purchased this vehicle brand new in 2022. I am very frustrated because now I have to worry about my vehicle seizing up while driving and possibly causing an accident and even worse someone getting hurt due to this vehicle issue. I would like to know what is going to be done to correct this issue.

I have a Silverado ZR2 with a 6.2L. My engine blew on it. The main bearing seized on it at the dealership. Its been at the dealership for the last 7 weeks waiting for an engine to be shipped. This is ridiculous that it takes GM this long to ship an engine.

While driving at 65 MPH, on the highway, , the truck , suddenly, without warning, shifted into neutral gear,, we were able to coast / navigate to the side of the road, turn off the engine and restart. It worked fine for about a week then a second incident occurred - same situation but car engine could not be turned off, could not put into park , or drive.. car stalled. Eventually, we were able to get the car started, but we took it to the nearest Chevrolet dealer, as we were afraid to drive very far with this situation. This ia a huge safety concern, there are no warning lights, messages , prior symptoms or anything .. passengers and other drivers are at risk for an accident to occur. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer at Classic Chevrolet. They have indicated the engine must be replaced. This car is new and only had 26,000 miles. It is on warranty. The Engine is on backorder with no ETA. We have been without our truck for 7 going on 8 weeks now. We keep contacting the dealer but still no outlook for an engine. We have called GM manufacturing but get no where with customer service or customer reps. They promise call back but then it turns into constant phone tag with a TAT of 24-48 hours if we miss their phone call. The car was purchased new [XXX]. The first occurrence of this problem was [XXX]. Second occurrence was [XXX]. Truck as been at Classic Chevrolet Dealer in Grapevine, Tx since [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
