VISIBILITY/WIPER
I remote started my vehicle and the rear defrost caused the back window to shatter. I had previously thought I heard what was a speaker going out/crackling, but upon further research, it appears it was the electronics in the rear defrost arcing. This appears to be a known issue with no US recall.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission is slipping and can’t drive too dangerous. This is a VERY expensive repair for such a new type model. I have read several complaints about this model having transmission problems. I currently have 130000 miles on speedometer so the warranty is no longer good. RIDICULOUS so many 2019 models are having this issue and GM is not correcting the problem. Have owned several GM vehicles. This will be my LAST!!! [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The car has been running in remote start mode.mode. The problem with this car is that even when I shut off the vehicle, the engine keeps running.Onstar was able to come in overnight to retrieve the truck and deliver it to the dealer. It's not safe to drive a truck in these conditions, but since my family and I were on the other side of town, we decided to slow down and head home. Note : The truck was full of gas This is a safety issue that must be addressed as people leave their trucks inside their homes while the truck is still on. It also increase the level of CO2 inside the house hold . Another fact while the truck stayed on the air condition system also stayed on ( full power ) and i start smelling burned motor which i belive this would caused fire

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The integrated trailer brake system fails shortly after plugging in a trailer. I have tried both my travel trailer and flatbed trailer. Both have the same issue. This started in November 2022, the first time I tried to pull one of my trailers. The message on the driver information panel would say Trailer Braking system disabled. System needs repair. I can't pull any trailer with electric brakes at this time. I purchased the truck in October 2022. Took it to the dealership I bought it from. They where able to make the message appear. This is reference document PIT5948A-GM. They say it is being worked on, but no resolution at this time. Not sure what I am suppose to do, as I would like to use my trailers.

AIR BAGS
My 2017 Chevrolet Silverado's air bag light has come on. I had the Chevrolet dealers review and diagnosis the issue. I am told that the passenger airbag and sensor need replacing. Cost to repair 2400.00 and dealership (Wilson Chevrolet) doesn't think they can get the parts in to complete repair. I was told my year and make have a recall, but not my model for the same issues. I do not believe that a truck that is just 5 years old should have this type of safety issue and not covered by the manufacturer, Chevrolet. And if there is a recall for the year and make, shouldn't cover all model trucks in that recall?
