ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
At a major intersection of several lanes north/south & east/west silverado stalled while waiting for the red light to change. Engine cutoff, would not restart, and situation was high traffic time at a high traffic intersection. Car was towed, problem diagnosed as the electronic sensor would not allow electricty to the starter motor. required part is not available, it turns out that this is reportedly a common problem. The truck is a Silverado 2019 with 36,811 miles. Reportedly out of warranty but this appears to be a common problem and certainly is the kind of problem that would be many years down the road

Back up camera fails, and a collision follows. The camera keeps flickering and going black all the time. I ask the dealer and was told that if the factory warranty expired, nothing they can do. Also the infotainment system is failing, turn off then on, or freeze if temperature is cold. Same answer from dealer

STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I've had continued issues with components that are electrical . The interior electrical items go wonky, radio touch screen will blink back and forth between two screens for several minutes. Sometimes the sir and radio will just turn on with no key, this is random. It will also turn on off then on again after removing key. The ac has begun to randomly stop working(, blowing cold or at sufficient correct speed) all these occurrences are random, have been checked, unable to duplicate or correct. Bigger more serious issues . The steering and loss of power and hesitation in transmission. My steering went horribly bad. It was replaced and it's still bad and the power module in new unit is bad.. again waiting for s new tech and pinion. (It's been ridiculous with the strike) the steering for several months has been extremely sloppy causing the truck to wander and it's very unsafe. Over the last couple months there's a hesitation when stepping on the gas. As well as a loss in power while driving and far too much gas is required to get it going. The truck purrs when idling but it's losing power. I've stayed on top of the maintenance.. I've had everything checked. These electrical issues have become more than annoying. They are now unsafe, becoming very expensive and have resulted in my having to rent a vehicle. I see there have been many complaints over steering, transmission and electrical. It's time to do something about these unsafe issues

POWER TRAIN
We are experiencing Vehicle shuddering and or shaking when accelerating and Jerking while shifting the vehicle. Originally discussed with dealership during routine oil change and thought that it was possible connection with the auto stop/start so no further action taken. Problem has worsened to now affect ability to tow trailer and or use vehicle. Vehicle has already had engine replacement at 41k due to engine oil coolant line failure. Current mileage at 86k. We do not feel comfortable driving the vehicle at this time so it is parked awaiting service appt with dealership.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
In May of 2023, the truck developed a significant shake when driving on moderate road bumps. We took it to the dealer and they replaced the pitman arm and idler arm assembly for over $2200. Recently, the shake started again. We took it to a local mechanic who told us that the upper ball joints were completely worn out and had been for some time, certainly since before the visit to the dealer in May. We had the ball joints replaced, and it is still shaking. We will continue to try to diagnose the problem but now we feel like we cannot drive it because it is unsafe. I’ve seen online that Chevy has a reputation of having this problem with our model (2019 Silverado). I’m filing this report to let you know that we are experiencing this problem.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission started slipping and shuddering on vehicle with only 72,000 miles. Took to the dealer and they diagnosed the transmission fluid and torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle experienced harsh shifting since new and is a safety issue due to delayed speed, slipping, and hard shifts. There is a class action lawsuit for this 8 speed transmission and GM refuses to fix it. I paid $3,000 out of pocket to have this fixed even though it’s a known. Issue.
