ENGINE
I purchased the vehicle on 8-23-25. On 10-23-25 while driving my daughter to school I received a message on the dashboard that said "reduced acceleration mode drive with care." I immediately drove to the dealership. After a few hours I was told by the dealer that the diagnostic code of PO6DD "Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Stuck Off" had been recorded and a full engine replacement will be required. The vehicle has 3307 miles on it and has been at the dealership since. Engines for this vehicle are on back order and there is no timeframe available on when a new engine will be available.

While driving down IH10 in Boerne, TX on Oct 15, 2025, I saw smoke coming into the vehicle from the A/C vents. I immediately pulled over and put it in park, opened the driver door to get out and turned back to my truck to flames shooting out between the rear passenger side of the cab and in front on the bed of the truck. I had a UHaul trailer in tow and immediately unhooked it to get it away from the truck. I returned to my truck to retrieve my phone and proceeded to watch in desbelief as my truck and belongings went up in flames. It was fully engulfed within 30 seconds with no warnings from inside the truck while driving. Took firefighters over two hours to distinguish the flames fully.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
Observation: "While operating the vehicle in Reverse (R) with the One-Pedal Driving (OPD) mode enabled, the expected aggressive regenerative braking deceleration is disabled or significantly reduced compared to when driving forward in Drive (D). Safety Concern: "This creates an unexpected driving experience where the car continues to coast/accelerate without input when the accelerator is released, requiring the driver to use the traditional friction brake pedal to stop the vehicle. This goes against the driver's established muscle memory and expectation from OPD in Drive, creating a potential safety risk, especially in tight maneuvering situations where quick, expected stopping is necessary." Suggested Action: "Review the design choice to disable/reduce OPD-level regenerative braking in Reverse to determine if a gradual or driver-selectable level of regen braking could be safely implemented to maintain consistency with the OPD driving 'norm' and prevent unexpected coasting."

TRAILER HITCHES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL
The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and towing a trailer or an RV, the brake pedal was depressed, and the trailer brake failed to engage. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that the manual trailer brake was able to activate, and the trailer brake engaged to slow the trailer or the RV. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the tow hitch wiring harness needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the tow hitch was factory installed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,500.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The glass on the driver's side mirror fluctuates when driving at speeds above approximately 35 MPH. It gets more intense the faster the vehicle travels. It's very distracting and also causes the mirror to go out of adjustment. I have had the mirror assembly changed 2 times by the dealer I'm still having the same issue. I filed a complaint with GM. After I filed a complaint the dealer installed ballast on the back side of the glass for counter balance per GM Engineers. That still did not fix the problem. I feel this is a design issue with the mirror. I am not the only owner with this issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle was a service loaner provided to me but it was factory new with the sticker still on the window. The dealer told me they would still sell the vehicle as new. When I started it, I had a display screen that indicated it was in a Demo mode. Taking it out of Demo mode would have required me to confirm that I had purchased the vehicle. The volume control and power control for the audio were not working at all. The volume was probably at 30% where I could hear but not clearly and also just loud enough that I couldn't hear sounds outside the vehicle well. This condition was not affected by the audio source. I could no change the volume in Bluetooth, AM, FM, XM, or Phone modes. I also could not turn off or mute the audio by pressing the Power button. There was a responding fire truck behind me on the road and I went to turn off the audio to hear it clearly and I was not able to. I took a video of this condition happening multiple times as photographs don't help to demonstrate much. I did notify the dealer by sending the Service Manager a text message with the video and said he would notate the condition. This persisted through multiple days and multiple restarts. After approx. 4-5 days, the expected functionality returned with no action or updates that I am aware of.

When towing a trailer, the trailer brakes will disconnect when applying medium to hard brake. This is when the brakes on the trailer are needed the most. The trailer lights still work when the brakes controller disconnects them. There was a recall on the 2024 Chevrolet HD trucks to "fix" this.

ENGINE
At 5,750 mi. the 6.2 gas engine seized due to connecting rod bearings. The dealer replaced the engine, cooling system and oil cooling system under warranty with a similar engine. I am of the opinion that it could have been at least partly due to the low viscosity motor oil that the manufacturer insists upon to maintain the factory warranty, 0-W20 synthetic, along with a poorly engineered fuel management system. Also, once the vehicle was stopped and put into park, the electronically controlled transmission refused to change gears, to be put into neutral, in order to be pushed out of traffic and on to a tow vehicle, it had to be dragged. The vehicle is extremely unreliable and a danger to the public.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission would not engage reverse gear. Then forward drive gears hard shift and surging. Truck delivered to dealer, inspection revealed a bad valve body. Parts availability unknown. No warning lights or caution lights. Just broke in a parking garage in Aspen Co. I live in south Texas. Truck and travel trailer in Colorado. Truck has 16000 miles. Had this failed two days before we would have been on pikes peak mountain. And the danger of transmission failure going up or down the mountain would have been very dangerous.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
My 2025 Chevy Silverado ZR2 has experienced the same dangerous system failure five times. While driving, every warning light on the dash activates, I lose power steering, and the vehicle completely shuts down and won’t restart. This creates an extreme safety risk — the first failure happened on a local road, but most recently, it occurred while my family was driving out of state during a holiday. The truck has now been out of service for over 50 cumulative days across these repeated incidents. GM has accepted a Lemon Law claim but has not resolved it, leaving me without a vehicle and no clear path forward. These systemic failures present serious risks to me, my family, and other drivers. The latest failure occurred in July 2025, and the vehicle remains at Bill Cramer Chevrolet in Panama City Beach, FL with no resolution. I am still making loan payments and paying for transportation out-of-pocket, without any support from the manufacturer.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We were towing our 2025 Brinkley Z3100 Fifth Wheel and had a complete loss of trailer brakes with no warning or notification during a trip to and from the tennessee mountains from Florida. Had we not noticed the poor stopping ability it would have been an issue on any downhill grades as the trailer is in excess of 14,000 lbs. We stopped disconnected and reconnected the 7 pin connector and brakes were restored. This happened 4 times. We have made an appointment with the service department at Davis Chevrolet in Gainesville Florida however the service writer (Paul) has already indicated that he feels it is a trailer problem with the interaction of the trailer. Internet searches show this is a common problem with the GM Products and a Service Bullitin has been issued for years 2023-2024. Ours is a 2025 with the identical issues. I think there could be many many more of these out there and hope the issue can be resolved. I can reproduce the problem and it meets the full description of the Service bullitin 6379278.
