STRUCTURE:INTERIOR PANELS:DASHBOARD
The dash of my Chevy Silverado is cracked and continues to crack, on 9.27.2023 a couple of large pieces broke completely out of the dash which is right by the airbag on the right side of the dash. Now I have a gaping hole. As far as I see at this time there are no recalls for the dash.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
In May of 2023, the truck developed a significant shake when driving on moderate road bumps. We took it to the dealer and they replaced the pitman arm and idler arm assembly for over $2200. Recently, the shake started again. We took it to a local mechanic who told us that the upper ball joints were completely worn out and had been for some time, certainly since before the visit to the dealer in May. We had the ball joints replaced, and it is still shaking. We will continue to try to diagnose the problem but now we feel like we cannot drive it because it is unsafe. I’ve seen online that Chevy has a reputation of having this problem with our model (2019 Silverado). I’m filing this report to let you know that we are experiencing this problem.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Tire size LT245/75R16 While driving on highway at speeds between 55 and 65 mph, front driver's side tire started to vibrate. Cause of vibration was not known at the time. Within 50 miles of driving, the entire tread on the front left tire separated from the tire while traveling at 55 mph. The tire has less than 12,000 miles of wear on it at the time of failure, and the tires were bought new. Control of the vehicle was maintained during tread separation and fortunately the projectile tread did not hit other cars or people. Tire remnants are available for inspection.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Power steering randomly stops working, sometimes warning lights come on when this happens. There is a recall affecting 2015 chevy vehicles that is related to a defect in the power steering system that causes similar issues, but my VIN is not part of the recall. How can I get the manufacturer to fix this?

ENGINE
With only 32,000 miles the active fuel management system went out. The lifters failed and caused internal engine damage. My vehicle was well maintained using only high quality synthetic motor oil. I am on the hook for over $5000 in engine repairs. This technology was a miserable failure and the consumer should not be held responsible for poor engineering.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission started slipping and shuddering on vehicle with only 72,000 miles. Took to the dealer and they diagnosed the transmission fluid and torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle experienced harsh shifting since new and is a safety issue due to delayed speed, slipping, and hard shifts. There is a class action lawsuit for this 8 speed transmission and GM refuses to fix it. I paid $3,000 out of pocket to have this fixed even though it’s a known. Issue.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that there was an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. The check engine warning light was illuminated.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
Started to notice water marks on the driver and passenger side rear window. According to online forms it is a common problem with 2019 and 2020 silverados with a sliding rear window. The dealer claimed it wasn't a safety issue, which I argued it was due to the mold. Chevy knew about the manufacturing problem before they even sold me the vehicle and did nothing to fix it
