ENGINE, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
While driving, all the sudden my check engine light came on (flashing), and my stabilitrack light came on. The engine started running really rough, and lost power. It is like major misfire. Upon reading up on this, it is a problem with this type engine. I saw about 2000 people with the same issue. Nothing works to resolve this problem. Coils, plugs, and wires were replaced, and still the same.

SERVICE BRAKES
On 11/10/2022 I was driving in moderate to heavy traffic at low speed; approximately twenty (20) mph. I applied the brakes and immediately experienced a hard pedal coupled with some pulsating. I pressed the pedal as hard as I could as there was traffic stopped in front of me. At the same time every warning light illuminated on the dashboard. My truck stopped just short of colliding with the other vehicle in front of me. The message displayed on the dash read “Brake System Failure” followed by a second message which read “Trailer Brake Failure”, and then an additional message that read “Do not exceed 42 mph”. Fortunately there was a Chevy dealership nearby. I drove the vehicle at very low speed to their service department and currently wait a diagnosis. My Chevrolet app also sent me a text at the time of the incident which read “Diagnostic Alert: Service the Antilock Braking System in your 2022 Silverado within 1 day”. My experience is similar to another incident which was reported to your agency in September of this year involving the same model truck. Note: I was not pulling a trailer at the time of the incident.

POWER TRAIN
Driving truck on vacation on the highway in traffic and when slowed down would hesitate going into gear when accelerating. Was able to get it in gear to try to exit highway. Was nearly rear ended in the process. Went to transmission shop immediately and was told no error codes and transmission fluid looked good so most likely transmission was going. We were about 200 miles from our destination and left stranded in unknown area. Truck towed to garage who confirmed failed transmission. Cost almost 6k to replace. Truck odometer just went over 61K miles!

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My husband just had a wreck last night. His gas pedals got stuck causing him to lose control of the truck and the truck to spend around in the middle of the street. It hit another car and a telephone pole before jumping the curb and landing in a field. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON ANY PARTS OF THE TRUCK THAT WAS IMPACTED BY THE WRECK. Both sides of the truck are completely smashed in and both windshields have been busted out. My husband actually came of the windshield of the truck where the Airbag should have deployed.

SEAT BELTS
The rear seatbelts retract very slowly and now most of the time not at all. Along with that they only intermittently catch when I pull hard and quick, like when in an accident. These 2 issues with the seatbelts pose a huge safety risk and I cannot put my daughter in the back seat.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Parked in parking on an attempt to crank and leave the power steering would not turn the vehicle and a message appeared stating power steering needs immediate attention and the anti skid light appeared as well as abs message. These messages may not be exact but my concern is if I attempt to drive and the power assist goes out and I cannot control my vehicle. I will say that I went back to where the vehicle was left parked attempt to drive after sitting 1-2 hours and the messages were gone and the power steering had returned.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The rear window defogger caught fire. It caught fire while parked next to a gas pump after using the auto start. If it had happened while driving down the road it could've caused a bad accident. It shattered the window as well so I've had to tape the back window which is limiting my view when driving. The dealership I bought it from knows about the issue. GM has already recalled 160,000 trucks for the same reason in Canada but never issued a recall for any US trucks. Nobody has inspected the component yet as I have not had the money to replace it but it is in the same state/condition it was in after the fire. There were no warning lights or symptoms. The rear window defogger comes on every time the remote start is used. I've used the remote start plenty of times before, luckily I was close to the truck when it happened to catch fire this time or the truck may have caught fire and burned completely. I want to point out the fact that GM has already issued a recall for the exact same problem I had but only for Canada trucks. They said they were investigating to see if there were any in the US that were sold but clearly there were.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The display on the radio touches itself. It will constantly change screens. It opens apps. It trys to make calls and send text. It is become a safety issue in the fact that it is constantly drawing my attention from the road. The center of the screen no longer is touchable, it doesn't recognize input. This is an issue alot of chevy customers are having.
