SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ADD ME TO THE SERVICE ESC GROUP.... 12600 MILES 2019 SILVERADO 5.3 THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, THE TRUCK THROUGH CODE P25A2 (THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IS NOT PERFORMING AS EXPECTED. AN ISSUE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE CHARGING AND STARTING SYSTEM THAT MONITORS AND CONTROLS THE ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM AND 12V BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. IF THE CHARGE SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON, OR COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM. DRIVING WHILE THIS LIGHT IS ON COULD DRAIN THE BATTERY. SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL, TC, BREAK TOWING ECT. A MESSAGE STATING USE CAUTION, DO NOT DRIVE OVER 62 MPH ALSO CAME ON. DURING THIS THE BREAKS BECAME MUSHY AND THE TRUCK WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN HOPES THEY CAN FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE MYSELF OR ANOTHER PERSON GETS HURT IN A CRASH CAUSED BY THESE ISSUES.

HEADLIGHT HOUSING DOGS CONSTANTLY AND REMAINS FOGGED FOR A LENGTH OF TIME WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHT FUNCTION DIMINISHED DUE TO THE FOGGING. CHEVY STATES THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VENTED AND DESIGNED TO BEHAVE THIS WAY BUT CLEARLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE SEAL OF THE HOUSING IS FAULTY.

SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THE 1ST TRUCK IN DECEMBER. THE BRAKES FAILED ON ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL IN ORLANDO. BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE AND THE DASH LIGHT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A MASTER CYLINDER BUT COULD NOT GET IT BECAUSE CHEVY WAS ON STRIKE. I TRADED IN AND GOT A SECOND VEHICLE. THEY DID THE RECALL ON IT BEFORE I TOOK IT AND THEN THE BRAKES FAILED SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY DID AN UPDATE ON IT AND I LEFT WITH IT THE SAME DAY. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE BRAKES FAILED... FIRST TIME ON 436 IN ORLANDO FLORIDA I WAS BEHIND A SCHOOL BUS AND THEY WENT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND IT I COULD GET PULLED OVER. SECOND TIME I WAS ON SR434 AND 17/92 IN LONGWOOD AT A RED LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS THE SECOND TRUCK. 2019 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. I TRIED TO TRADE IT BACK IN TO GET OUT OF THE 1500 INTO A 2500 AND THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE A $17,000 HIT. CHEVY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE MADE TWO TOTAL PAYMENTS ON IT . I PAID 50K AND OWE 44327.00 ON IT. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND WATCHING THE REAR VIEW CAMERA, WHILE IN MOTION, AS YOU GET CLOSER TO AN OBJECT THE CAMERA WILL GO BLACK FOR A FEW SECONDS, DISTURBING THE DRIVERS IMMEDIATE VIEW OF ANYTHING BEHIND THEM AND NOT VIEWABLE BY THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THIS PRESENTS THE POSSIBLY OF CRASHING INTO AN OBJECT BEHIND YOU UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNKNOWINGLY; WHETHER IT BE REVERSING IN A PARKING LOT OR INTO A SPOT NEAR OTHERS PERSONAL PROPERTY. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I GET INTO THE VEHICLE WHILE AT MY STORAGE UNIT FACILITY AND WITHIN SECONDS TURN THE VEHICLE ON BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THREE SECONDS AFTER I AM MOVING IN REVERSE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTS FLASHING WARNING MESSAGES SUCH AS NO SPEED OVER 62 MPH, ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEMS SOMETHING, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS WITHOUT BRAKES! I WAS NOT GOING FAST, NOR IN TRAFFIC, BUT THE FACT REMAINS I HAD NO BRAKES, AGAIN! THIS ISSUE WAS 'FIXED' TWO MONTHS EARLIER IN ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IN ITS ENTIRETY, I MEAN TAKEN OFF THE STREETS. IT'S NOT JUST THE DRIVERS OF THE TRUCK WHO ARE IN DANGER, OTHER DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS ARE ALSO IN DANGER. A FATALITY IS IMMINENT BUT I ASK THE NHTSA HOW MANY FATALITIES BEFORE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE IS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD? EVERY SAFETY DEVICE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED: AIRBAGS, SEATBELT, AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE ARE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT IS REPORTED HERE. PLEASE DON'T EXPECT GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE CAUSE BEHIND THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH! FIRST IT WAS ONSTAR, NOW IT IS THE COMPANY THEY HIRED TO CREATE THEIR COMPUTERIZED BRAKES. COMPUTERS HAVING SO MUCH CONTROL OVER VEHICLES, I'M LEARNING, IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE MY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES WITH ANYONE WHO CAN HELP MY FELLOW AMERICANS AND MYSELF!

I BOUGHT A NEW 2019 CHEVY SILVERADO AT THE END OF 2019. THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERS AND CUTS OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IT. THIS CANNOT BE THE RIGHT ANSWER. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND WITH A LARGE TRUCK I DEPEND ON THE CAMERA WORKING. ALSO WITH PARKING I HAVE COME CLOSE TO DAMAGING THE TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE OF A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WE NOTICED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WAS NOT MOVING. WE WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 58 MPH. WE COULD NOT MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE DUE TO VEHICLES ENTERING THAT LANE FROM AN ON RAMP. WE WERE ABOUT 100 YARDS AWAY WHEN WE REALIZED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WAS NOT MOVING. WE IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP. WE HAD A VERY SEVERE COLLISION. WE SLAMMED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THAT VEHICLE WENT LEFT INTO THE GUARDRAIL AND WE FINALLY STOPPED ON THE REAR BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE THAT HAD INITIALLY STOPPED WITH HALF OF THEIR VEHICLE STILL IN THE LEFT HAND LANE. TALKING LATER WITH MY SPOUSE WE BOTH REALIZED NEITHER OF US FELT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE. THERE WAS NO SOUND THAT IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKING HARD. I TOOK PICTURES AT THE SCENE. I FOUND IT ODD THAT THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY AND SHORTLY AFTER 11 AM. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY HUSBAND REQUIRED TREATMENT AT THE LOCAL ER. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLED.

POWER TRAIN
THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN ANY DISTANCE, BUT FAR ENOUGH TO SHIFT GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND WHEN THE AUTO ENGINE STOP IS DEACTIVATED MANUALLY OR AUTO ENGINE STOP DOESN'T ACTIVATE DUE TO DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKS AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS NOTICEABLE IN TRAFFIC, BUT MORE OF A CONCERN WHILE PRECISION PARKING AND WHEN MOVING SLOWLY WITHOUT THROTTLE OR BRAKE BEING APPLIED. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MY VEHICLE AND IN ALL SIMILAR LOANER VEHICLES THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASSIGNED TO ME DURING SERVICE. SPECIFICALLY, WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN INCHING FORWARD TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT BRAKE OR THROTTLE, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING AND HIT THE SIGN, ANOTHER CAR, OR CURB. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS DURING EVERY DRIVE AND STOP.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
UPON STARTING MY TRUCK THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62 MPH TOP SPEED WARNING APPEARED, SERVICE ESC AND SERVICE TRAILER BRAKES. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES RESTARTED THE WARNINGS DID NOT APPEAR BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES DID NOT EXCEED 40MPH I DROVE WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND ARRIVED HOME SAFELY. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL THAT IS THE RESULT FROM A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN MY TRUCK WAS BEING SERVICED IN DEC 2019 FOR A RECALL. THE NEW RECALL COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE 7 INCH INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS THE LIGHTING , BLINKER CONTROLS AND VARIOUS OTHER CONTROLS TO INCLUDE ON STAR CONNECTIVITY WILL RANDOMLY NOT WORK UPON START UP AND NOT WORK AT ALL UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF FOR A AT LEAST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. SOME TIMES THE BLINKERS WORK PROPERLY AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF THIS HOWEVER THE FILE IS TOO LARGE TO DOWN LOAD.. I AM WORRIED THE THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE LIGHTING OF THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL.. THANK YOU

AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE B+ BATTERY CABLE AND THE ALTERNATOR COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE INTERMITTENT CONNECTION COULD ALSO LEAD TO ARCING, WHICH COULD GENERATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO DAMAGE SURROUNDING MATERIAL AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE. GM RECALL #: N192273510. THE PROBLEM IS EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIMED THEY FIX IT. RECORD SHOWS THAT THE RECALL STILL INCOMPLETE. IF THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE THAT ESC AND ABS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING, THERE MAY BE INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH. GM RECALL #: N192268090 NHTSA RECALL 19V889 INVOLVED A SOFTWARE ERROR THAT COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE'S ESC AND ABS TELLTALE LAMPS TO FAIL TO ILLUMINATE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. IF A DRIVER WERE UNAWARE THAT ESC AND ABS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING, THERE MAY BE INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH. GM RECALL #: N192268091. AS I MENTIONED IT, THE RECORD SHOWS THESE RECALLS ARE INCOMPLETE. THEY GAVE ME THE TRUCK BACK ON 02/21/2020 AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THEY CLAIMED THEY REPAIRED IT.*DT*JB *DT *JS
