POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
No check engine light come on until continued driving over 15-20 miles. Transmission slams into second gear when taking off or when stopping it may or may not downshift into first causing safety issues when in traffic. Possible electrical error or clutch inside transmission. On this model it is a sealed transmission so no way of identifying if metal shavings come out with a transmission flush. The issue only happens when vehicle is at temperature, if under and still cool drives perfect but as soon as it hits the temperature of 210 it slams very ugly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Issue is based off of this service bulletin, but GM has failed to call a recall on this for coverage. I was driving my daughter to softball practice. Every few minutes there would be a "stabilitrak" message showing on the driving information area. Then in slower speeds my dashboard screen would blank out and then go back to CarPlay. Then once I approached a parking lot at slower speeds my vehicle lost total power and shut down. Then had to switching the gear to park, then turn off the ignition key, then wait a few seconds and turn the key on to start the truck. It started as normal and was able to park in the parking space. Very scary and this is a very serious issue, I could have been in an accident with my daughter. This has to be addressed, I can't be the only one having this issue.

AIR BAGS
The contact, who owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, reported an incident that occurred while driving at approximately 35 MPH. A semi-truck, backing out of a warehouse across three lanes, collided with the driver's side of the contact's vehicle, causing damage to the entire left side. Despite the impact, no airbags were deployed. The collision exacerbated the contact's existing lower back and spine injuries, necessitating medical attention and ongoing physical therapy. A police report was filed following the incident. Although the vehicle was not towed, it was taken to a collision center, which determined that repairs could be made as the frame was not damaged. The contact consulted with the dealer, who was unable to confirm whether the airbag sensors had activated or failed. The manufacturer has not been informed of this potential airbag system failure. The vehicle's mileage at the time of the incident was approximately 63,000.

ENGINE
We bought 2 of the same exact trucks last year. They each had no miles on them. My business partner was coming home from vacation and stated hearing ticking. We took it to our mechanic and he said it’s a blown motor. Prior to leaving for vacation, an oil change was done on the truck. When the mechanic said the motor is blown he also said it’s down 3 quarts of oil. All scheduled maintenance was done on the truck routinely. We took the truck back to the shop that did the oil change and they had recorded the service, there was no doubt the oil was changed the prior week but it was now black and down three quarts.

I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I've been experiencing with my truck's transmission. Recently, the transmission failed due to a torque converter issue, which has caused significant disruption for me. From my understanding, this is a known problem that hasn’t been adequately addressed by GM. As I'm currently in the process of getting the transmission rebuilt, I believe it is only fair that I should not have to bear the costs associated with this repair. I would appreciate it if someone from GM could reach out to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your prompt response.

SERVICE BRAKES
The braking system is very weak given the towing and load rating on the truck. Emergency stopping is at times questionable. It seems there is almost no braking from the front axle of the truck. In 80000 miles the front brakes are still over 75% pad left with the rear brakes now being on the second set. I have had the dealership Chevrolet of Canton look into this and they tell me that is how this trick is designed to work. This is the first truck I have ever owned that used the rear brakes more 4 times faster than the front brakes. This is an issue that GM needs to look into.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Rear window leaks severely causing electrical issues. This is a known issue for almost 10 years now with multiple TSB’s about this problem across this vehicle platform. The repair for this is over $1000 often times. This should be a recall. We the consumers should not be stuck footing this bill when GM is well aware that this window causes issues and refuses to make a fix to keep this from happening. Especially, seeing that it typically does not seem to happen during the warranty period of the vehicle. My vehicle is less than 3 years old but now over the mileage cutoff and I was just quoted 1000-1500 to repair this very well know issue. GM needs to be liable for this faulty design.

i have a 2024 Silverado 6.2L. while driving the engine made some scratching/chirping sounds. then it felt like the wheels locked up momentarily. when i got pulled over the engine was chirping and slightly knocking. then the engine stalled. I know there is an active recall for 2021 to 2024 L87 6.2L engines, but the recall did not show up on my vin. everything i read states that any L87 produced after June of 2024 was not affected but my engine is damaged just like the ones in the recall.

My Engine has Misfiring, pitted Cam, camshaft lobe wear, valves and needs a new head stemming from the Fuel Injector Flow Rate being off. GM is refusing to support their product. This is a known issue GM is having with these engines.
