POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
There is a vibration that is randomly felt. Over the last year I have replaced struts shocks control arm control arm bushings sway bar link sway bar link bushings tires twice and the vibration just keeps increasing to the point it's doing it now when I turn or take bends in the highway. There is now a flat spot in a tire feel when going it slower speeds to be added to the vibration that happens later on obviously related. This is either from my understanding going to be axle or driveshaft it's going to get looked at today since there's nothing left underneath to repair. This has ruined a pair tires I bought last year for $1,500 in September and probably well on its way to ruining the tires that I've just put on last week for $2,400. There is a hesitation a lack of response and a vibration. As far as the electrical goes it makes this very weird buzzing sound very randomly it's only happened about four times it's loud and it can't be explained. Also sometimes the radio and the AC just turns on and there's no key in the car and I've had the door open for a few minutes. Sometimes after turning it off he'll turn everything off but turn it all back on again no key in. Sometimes I can turn the stereo off and it makes a whistling buzzing sound and it's not even on. As far as any light indicators on the dash for any of this no never had a one. I have completely taken care of this vehicle with the transmission flush and will changes and everything that it's supposed to have and I put a lot of money in it since I've had it in a year but I shouldn't have to on 2019 and it's still experiencing the same problems and I have plenty of documentation. As far as date of occurrence it's been continual and random since I bought the truck in June of 2023 from a local dealership called Lokey

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The vehicle has, on numerous occasions, gone into a "Check Right Front Turn Lamp" or "Check Left Front Turn Lamp" while operating the turn signals. Vehicle then goes into "hyperflash" on the turn signal indicating a fault when the error message appears and renders the signal non-functional. Vehicle does not return to normal until it is shut off and restarted. Vehicle was taken to dealer for service on this item, the computer was re-flashed with latest software but problem persisted. Dealer indicated they believed there was no issue with the turn signal lights, it was a software issue in the truck. Servicing dealer is Jim Norton Chevrolet in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I have noted others in internet research with the same model of truck and similar LED lighting equipment experiencing the same fault.

SERVICE BRAKES
When backing slowly down a ramp with a boat attached the brakes feel like they are not holding . Feels like I'm going to be in the water with the boat. In drive the brakes work just fine. Only when going down a ramp with the boat it feels like the brake is down as far as it will go and fading or out of pressure. This happened a couple times before this in June and July. Then I replaced the front brakes. First time I backed the boat in after brake change it still happened. I feel the power booster or something else is bad. It's just weird it is only in reverse at slow speeds.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Not really a safety concern but the backup camera worked for about a year, then got foggy during wet weather and completely useless in winter here in Anchorage, it was still foggy the following summer and then it went completely off and the following message appeared on the screen: service rear vision system. Of course it’s out of warranty now. I just think they should last more than a year or two in fact I’m still paying for my truck and a good feature that is really unimpressive. Thanks for your time.

The transmission caused a vibration and sometimes a surge when it would go into gear. I had to be very careful when initially driving forward, especially in heavy traffic making sure I had a safe distance ahead of me. The entire vehicle would shutter when accelerating almost at any speed.
