ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Dashboard and display screen doesn't shut off when key had been removed from the ignition. Constant freezing, call dropping and sound boost at random moments. Ticking sound when barely touching the gas. Hard shifts. Bluetooth connects and disconnects constantly. If GM released a defective vehicle, in which they are aware of the problems should be fixed. Not only for me but for the tons of thousands filing known major problems as well.

This is in regards to: Manufacturer Recall NumberN212328800 NHTSA Recall Number21V054 GM's handling of this is absolutely unacceptable. I have been waiting for parts for over a year. GM's statement is "just don't drive it" if I have a concern about me or someone dying from their defective part. For over a year this is [XXX] to put it bluntly. I just got a letter stating that parts were now available, I have called immediately and was told sorry, there aren't actually parts available now. No ETA. GM should be financially compensating me for giving me no other option to drive an unsafe vehicle for over a year and who knows how much longer. I don't have the financial means to 'just not drive my truck for over a year', or to 'go buy/lease another vehicle for this duration'. I'm livid that this problem hasn't been resolved and more needs to be done federally to put the heat to GM. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
There is a complete loss of power so there is no way to start the truck. Here in North Dakota the wind chills go to fifty degrees below zero. It is life threatening when the truck won't start. Up to this point it has happened only when the vehicle is parked. The GM dealer has seen the truck, but it is a random problem and can't be "replicated" in the shop. The shop manager has seen the security symbol on the dash board and cleared it with the computer. When it happened this week in minus wind chills I called the dealer, and he suggested that I put the key in and let it sit for ten minutes! Nothing happened. When my husband caught a ride to help me, he wiggled the battery connection and the whole system turned on. The security anti theft device light had gone on while driving, but the book said to take it to a dealer!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On multiple occasions while using an Apple phone that is connected to the vehicle via the USB port. While on a phone call, the call will drop, and the radio will turn up to full volume and will not shut off until the entire vehicle is pulled over and completely powered off. During the most recent event the radio did not shutoff even after vehicle was parked and powered down. It eventually shut off after the autotimer shut down all of the accessories power after the timeout time. The volume blast has happened twice in heavy metro Detroit, rush hour traffic. The volume level is extraordinarily distracting & when on the expressway, its nearly impossible to find a safe or practical place to power down the vehicle to reset the radio. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer to "flash" the radio, however it has not repaired the problem.

On DECEMBER 14th 2021 while traveling on interstate 90 from Hardin Montana to Billings Montana I hit a large granite boulder that had fallen off of a semi, I had my cruise control set where I always set it at 77 mph. The boulder was around 500 lbs and was roughly 30 inches tall by 24 wide. It launched my truck in the air and I flew about 17 to 20 feet before touching down. I impacted the boulder just to the right of center of the bumper and it tore everything from the bumper to the firewall. Extremely violent impact and I hit my head on the sun visor and chin on the steering wheel. Not one of the airbags deployed. The first person on scene was Montana Highway Dept employee who was one minute behind me. He and myself as well as the responding highway patrol were shocked that the airbags did not deploy. Since that accident I have had multiple things wrong with my neck my knees as well as my hips and back. Im pretty sure Im messed up for life.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I bought the truck in Oct. of 2019 with 5000 miles on it. I have taken it to several service shops since then. I have told every one of those shops fro 2019 to present that there was something wrong with the truck. There has always been a hard clanking noise in the rear end. It always feels like it's in 4 wheel drive. It has never shifted right. When pulling a load it fells like it jumps in and out of gear. And when shifting from reverse to drive it clanks in the rear end. It feels like there is a brake dragging because when I let off the grass it will practically stop itself and it sound like a wheel cylinder is going out. Sometimes I have to push the start/stop engine button 2 to 3 times before the truck will shut off. The screen of the radio goes black sometimes. The rear tires don't turn when in 4 low. The tail gate doesn't lift like it's supposed to. The heater isn't right when you turn the defrost on it blows out at you feet. And when it remote started the heater doesn't always come on. All the reportes can be seen through the Chevrolet dealerships or OnStar. It has been taken to several different dealerships since 2019 when I bought it.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
For months now, my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a “service trailer brake system”notification on the the dash that repeatedly pops up every 5-15 seconds while the vehicle is on, including while driving. This, along with the pinging sound that comes with the notification, makes the vehicle difficult to drive due to the constant distraction the notification makes. I have tried taking issue with the dealership but they are not helping whatsoever. From my own research online, I have seen hundreds of other people experiencing the same issue. Please help us eliminate this distraction by forcing a recall and thus making the roads safer for everyone. Thank you.
