ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Since I purchase my 18 Silverado the transmission has ALWAYS had a shift lag. On interstate especially it has become dangerous. I’ve almost been rear ended a few times bc it won’t shift properly. Even with the proper lane change habits the lag and uneven shifting has almost got me killed. Early on when I got my truck (est 2019) a dealer replaced some of the lifters in my engine. I spent over $40k and have even had to replace stereo because it died. I’m disabled I can’t afford to have major repairs while still making payments. Someone needs to hold Chevrolet responsible. I’ve read enough comments from people who have one and their complaints are the same. Is anyone looking into this?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Since purchasing the vehicle in April of 2021, there have been significant issues with the audio system. This was noticed before the first payment was ever made. We had a “Act of God” claim made on the car for a tree falling on the windshield around this time. It was mentioned to the collision center at the time, but it was dismissed. The display will not work, gps system fails, it continuously changes settings and functions, etc. I can see where you would not consider this a safety issue, but I can argue otherwise and effectively, and would be happy to do so. This is a manufacturer issue. I have been made aware by several aftermarket companies that they have had to replace many of these components for similar issues, the dealership where we bought our vehicle literally told me that if I replaced it factory brand that I would have the same issue later down the road, and many acquaintances that have had to replace their audio systems for once again similar issues. This is just in one general location. If there are this many issues with one piece of equipment, there is absolutely no doubt that there should be a recall placed on these models. We purchase vehicles with the expectation that they will work. It is asinine and unethical to know of an issue and not correct it accordingly. We have purchased many Chevrolets in previous years, with an issue this persistent and without correction this may be the last Chevrolet we buy, which is a shame since it is an American company.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT, TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
Tire size LT275 65 R20. Driving on Interstate Sunday September 24, 2023 the driver's side back tire blew out causing damage to the rim and side panel of the truck and bumper. We were pulling a 35 foot fifth wheel. We were able to successfully pull over to shoulder but had to wait over an hour for help. The blow out did do some damage to the fifth wheel also. Felt very unsafe until Georgia Champs arrived behind our camper. Our truck had about 16,000 miles on it and the tires. Last October the passenger side rear went flat (12,000 miles on the tires) and were able to pull over before a blowout. There we were stuck for about 3 hours on an interstate and had to change the tire ourselves because couldn't get someone out and felt unsafe waiting any longer.Both tires were on rear of truck and the blowout left over $6000 damage according to the estimate not including damage to the RV.We had no warning alert on the truck and a Goodyear salesman said the tires were not defective. But, we did not run over any apparent road hazard. We felt unsafe and were lucky the blowout didn't cause us to lose control of the truck or RV. Seems hard to believe this can happen twice in less than a year with pretty new tires. We always inspect the tires and make sure the tires are properly inflated according to the truck specifications.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
During a recent trip while using my turn signals the entire dash would flash off and right back on. When I exited the freeway and turned onto a small side street making a u-turn the engine died without warning and all dash lights went blank. Loss of everything including power braking and steering. Then the info center kept flashing “ Service stablink soon.” On my return trip home the same message kept flashing. There are no codes set in the computer. Just all intermittent electrical issues. Unable to replicate the issues at home. The service trailer tow system also flashes once in a while. The loss of all power shutting off unexpectedly with the engine dying is a major concern.
