Number one electrical system left side wire harness manufacturer installed in properly, not watertight and ran through a pinch point causing wires to break. Safety was put at risk due to power failure from fuel pump and brake lights failing which could’ve caused a potential accident. Been confirmed by an independent service center. Reached out to the manufacturer. They said there was no recalls. It was very unhelpful. On the failure happened a light did come on. Number two media end navigation system this is a safety risk because at certain times it will switch between screens at will by itself. They will also put calls on hold, causing you to instinctively reach for your phone and taking your attention from driving as well as switch off of navigation moving your attention from driving, this is a clear definition of distraction and not serving the purpose it was created for which is also been confirmed by an independent shop. I reached out to GM. They said there was no recalls. And there is no service light. P.s.I just found out that I could make a complaint here so I do not have any of my old documentation. I just went to the dealership this morning to try and get some help and I had no luck. They would not be helpful at all. They just want to sign me up for a service meeting and charge me another $500 to look at it only to tell me they can’t order me a wearing harness again.
My 2018 Silverado z71crew cab LT , 5.3L engine was having issues with hold Freon in AC unit. We took to dealer to be fixed in June 2025. They added Freon and it was running good for a week then once again blew but no cold air. So took back second time 7/3/25 and they started the die test and machine went down in middle of doing it. So could not finish fixing . We took back on 07/20/25 and they completed the test needed condenser . So few days later we took to our local mechanic to have the condenser replaced and all is well with the AC unit now. Everything was fine from mid July 2025 till Oct 14 th 2025 , when it started shaking and was running rough and engine light was on so I had it checked for codes to see what it needed. Came back as bad injector. So we took to local mechanic to have injector replaced and tuneup and coils replaced . After this was completed was running much rougher then before we even had that injector and tuneup done. So mechanic suggested for him to keep it and let him dive deeper into what was wrong and why it was running rougher than before, so we let him do that.. after two days, he came back and told us that there was a crack in the engine and that is why it was running rough and that it probably was going to have an engine failure and might be and must be replaced. So I looked up my VIN number to see if there’s any recalls for my particular truck and engine size which is a 5.3 L and it doesn’t show my particular truck but it does show my year of a Silverado and the 3.6 L engine has had the same issues so I was wondering if this recall should be extended to the 5.3 L 2018 seems to be the same problem with the engine block.
Automatic Transmission failure
Under 40,000 miles and both sides of the frame has rusted out and has made the vehicle unsafe to drive per the dealership.
Tailgate came open while driving and I lost items in the truck bed.
Tailgate came open while driving and I lost items in the truck bed. This is the second incident. I had double checked to ensure it was latched before driving.
Transmission down shift really rough and the went out, Replaced with a new one from dealership and it does the exactly the same thing $7000
I've been in and out of dealers over the transmission shifting points and hard down shifts when almost stopped. And the a/c condenser has cracked on the side for no known reason at 75k miles except for the fact of bad manufacturing
frame has rust all over
So the recalls were done on my vehicle in September 2023 , I purchased the vehicle in August and after the recalls were performed the truck would seem different but I thought it was just me, we'll I had an alignment done because it was driving crazy , this wasn't done at the chevrolet dealership, so recently we've experience some braking issues and pulling off to the side well I took it to the ryan chevrolet on a thursday and the mechanic kept the truck until Monday so he can diagnose the issue. We'll then he says nothing wrong but recommended I pay for an alignment because ones never been done the original pins were still attached. I declined because I knew better and so he charged me 80. 00 times 2 because I iefused, he was diagnosing the 2 different things I told him we were experiencing. These are the things that can occur if If the recalls arent taken care of, but he didn't care about my concerns, nor did he want to listen , o me I went to big o and I asked about the alignment and they showed me mt truck is perfect in alignment. The brake issues and the going off to the side are getting worse.
Rear sliding window with defrost started sizzling sound than emit a bunch of smoke into the cab. Shut off rear defrost, preventing a fire. The window than shattered. There is a recall in Canada for this very issue. We live only a hour south of the Canadian border. GM says Canada get colder so that’s why the issue is up there.
I have a 2018 chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab, I’ve been having problems where the truck warning light would come on saying “service stability control” and the truck would turn off when reversing and while driving on highway and the light flickers and the steer wheel would lock up as well, please help me out, I have searched over the web and have seen other people posting about it and having the same problems but yet Chevy has not done anything about it, this is a safety hazard
Upon light acceleration of the vehicle, a rough gearshift occurred followed by a check engine light and the vehicle continued to shift roughly and idled roughly. After months of diagnostic work and attempts at repairs, it was determined the lifters were the issue. From independent research I understand this is a somewhat common (and pricey) issue. I’m not sure why there is not a recall for the cheap lifters, but I would like to pursue possible reparations for this fault of GM that has left me without a vehicle and left me with a great financial burden for over six months.
Service Trailer brake light would ding and appear randomly while parked and driving with no trailer or load hooked. Radio jumps screens making phone calls disconnecting Bluetooth just spazes out. Truck is currently sitting at the dealer suggesting a TCM repair. Truck will be in Drive and roll backwards. Driving down the road vehicle just goes limp.. no power nothing. Absolutely disgusted with my purchase and what I’m going through with my 2018 Silverado
The wheel/wheels locked up while in motion and caused vehicle to veer off road and cause the vehicle to crash. ABS light and Stability Control System warning came on prior to crash.
Trailer Brake System On February 13 2023 the trailer brake system warning notification came on and made my truck appear to shut down at 65 mph. The radio stopped, lights shut off, engine seemed to stall or lost power. It was like the power went out. This seemed to be a safety concern. I will be towing a camper soon. I need my trailer brakes to work. The contact stated that the vehicle has stalled 3 times now.
While I'm very slowly backing up my attached small 2 wheel trailer the Transmission over heating warning light comes on. This has happened SEVERAL TIMES!!!!
On Saturday Aug 6th, 2022 my girlfriend and I were driving in my 2018 Chevy Silverado and the car just came to a complete stop really hard. Once the truck froze up, the car would go FOWARD but very slow, jerkish, and sluggish. We were almost hit by three cars behind us when the truck froze up. The truck was towed to the dealership where they diagnosed the truck with METAL SHAVINGS in the TRANSMISSION. And the engine light came on four weeks after I bought the vehicle last October. This time…. There was NO engine light on. Nothing displayed on dashboard.
Radio is malfunctioning. Radio would randomly change channels. Than the radio would have a line in the bottom of the screen. Than the half the radio just quit. Now the radio or phone calls does not work at all. I do not have access to hands free calls. I believe there is a recall on the same stereo for the 2019 models. It has not been inspected but is available for inspection. No warnings lights prior to the radio not working. I have a video but I do not know how to attach.
Starter had to be replaced with 22,775 miles and truck was toed.
Stress cracks in radiator
The trailer service message keeps popping up distracting me and there is no way yo turn it off!
AC condenser has cracked at factory weld. Dealer said this is Dailey issue and only performed recall on the higher end Cadillac and GMC Denali when the lower models have same condenser per # and problems was a $1000 repair
The plastic part of the grill is melting I’m afraid it’s going to melt on the front of the vehicle
When entering traffic, upon acceleration the truck stalls, and shutters. Going into traffic a vehicle had to maneuver to avoid collision with me. I took it to the dealer and they said transmission should get a flush and transmission oil was low. At 60,000 and out of warranty I paid for service and they said it was good now. it still continues. I can’t afford to take it in for service and pay again. From searching online customers state the dealer representatives all say it’s normal for truck to do that. Also, others say transmission (6l80) and/or torque converter is the problem. Again being without warranty I cannot afford to take it in and pay to just get that “it’s normal for the vehicle to do that.” A vehicle that stalls IS a hazard for the driver and for others on the road. Especially entering highways and heavy traffic streets. The main reason is we never know when it will stall or when it will accelerate what I believe is properly.
Started vehicle and engine diagnostic displayed that the anti-lock braking system needs to be service, the power steering system needs to be serviced, parking assist needs to be serviced. This issued occurred one other time and a module needed to be replaced. This is the second time this has occurred in a year.
2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 21V-496. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A RESONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR.
Radiator started leaking at 40,000 miles. Leaking at a weld where tube connect to side tanks.
Consistent failure with AC condensor for 2014 thru 2019 Chevrolet trucks. So common, should have been fixed or replaced.
WENT TO TURN INTO PARKING STALL AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF AND THE DOORS LOCKED. RADIO, LIGHTS, ENGINE EVERYTHING TURNED OFF. NEXT DAY TURNED INTO A DRIVE THRU AND IT FLICKERED AND CAME UP WITH SERVICE STABLI TRAK. I TALKED WITH A PLACE THAT COULD HOOK UP MY TRUCK TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING. THEY SAID THEY DROVE THE TRUCK AROUND AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I LEFT AND IT SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN ONCE AND FLICKERED TWICE. IM HOPING THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IM AT 43000 MILES. HELP!

RADIATOR LEAKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TRUCK HAS ONLY 54K MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SERVICED ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE BY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS.
WHILE WAITING TO ORDER A MORNING COFFEE AT A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP DRIVE THRU (STATIONARY), THE REAR DEFROST/DEFOGGER CAUSED ONE OF THE GLASS PANELS OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD/BACK GLASS TO SHATTER/EXPLODE. THERE WAS ALSO SMOKE & AN UNMISTAKABLE ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL PRESENT AT THAT TIME. PLEASE REFER TO GM CANADA RECALL N192220470, AS I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BECOME A SAFETY RECALL IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS WELL.

OCCASIONALLY ON MY DASH INFO SCREEN A MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD, IN ORDER TO DISMISS THE MESSAGE YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD AND TOUCH AN OK BUTTON ON THE SCREEN. IT IS HARD TO DO THIS SAFELY WHILE DRIVING. THE MESSAGE DOES NOT TIME OUT AND COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN. THERE MUST DE A WAY TO DISABLE THIS OR TO HAVE IT TIME OUT. IT IS IRONIC THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT DISMISSES OTHER MESSAGES AND IT DOES NOT WORK FOR THAT ONE. THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FIXED EASILY WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE.

SHAKING IN THE FRONT AT SPEEDS OVER 40MPH WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION, THAT DOES STOP WHEN YOU TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE GAS. THE SHAKING SEEMS TO GET MORE VIOLENT AT HIGHER SPEEDS, AND SO FAR THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE.

ON 02/27/2019 I PURCHASED A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AT COLE CHEVROLET, CADILLAC IN BLUEFIELD, WEST VIRGINIA I NOTICED THAT IT WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN I DROVE IT AND A VIBRATION WITH THE TRUCK. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD SURFACE CAUSING THE NOISE IT WAS A LOT WORSE AT 70 MPH. THE MORE I DROVE THE WORSE IT GOT. I GOT TO LOOKING AT THE TIRES I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD HIGH AND LOW SPOTS ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. ON 06/27/2019 I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT AT, I SHOWED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THEY DID ALIGNMENT ON THE TRUCK AND THEY ORDERED A NEW TIRE. I DROVE THE TRUCK A LITTLE OVER 600 MILES, I STARTED GETTING THE NOISE AND VIBRATION AGAIN. I GOT TO CHECKING THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE AND NOTICED THE SAME THING ON THE INSIDE EDGE. ON 07/24/2019 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD THEM THAT THE SAME THING IS HAPPING WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE NEW TIRE WAS IN AND THEY CHANGED IT. CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN AND TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TIRES THAT THE TIRES ARE SOFT CAUSING THE WEAR. I LEARNED LATER THE THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES IS CALLED CUPPING. I CALLED GOODYEAR TIRE AND TALKED WITH THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. GOODYEAR HAD ME TAKE IT TO ONE OF THEIR SERVICE CENTERS TO CHECK MY TRUCK. GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT END IS IN ALIGNMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CUPPING ON THE TIRES IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IF I PUT NEW TIRES ON, IF I DIDN'T GET THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM FIXED. I CALLED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT. I DID ON 09/09/2019 I TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING LOOSING TRACTION GO AROUND CURVES WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG

THE VEHICLE VIBRATES THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER BALANCED AND CHECKED ROAD FORCE ON WHEELS AFTER 5,000 MILES AND REBALANCED TWO WHEELS. VIBRATION STILL EXISTS AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE WITH MORE MILES. THE WHEEL BALANCE DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.
Mileage: 8,000
I PURCHASE A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 THAT WAS DEFECTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIX IT SO THEY TRADED IT FOR ANOTHER 2018 SILVERADO. THE 2ND TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S MAKES A GRINDING VIBRATION BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH AND IT MAKES A SOUND LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO COME APART OR SOMETHING IS GETTING READY TO FALL OUT.DEALERSHIP HUFFINES CHEVROLET IN LEWISVILLE,TX SAIDS IT'S MY DRIVING HABITS. GENERAL MOTORS STATED THE PROBLEM GO'S AWAY OVER TIME. IF PROBLEM GO'S AWAY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME,WHY DID IT GO AWAY ON THE 1ST TRUCK. TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTED AND THEY KNOW IT. AT THIS POINT ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY BACK. I'VE BEEN FRUSTRATED FOR 6 MONTHS OVER MY TRUCK. IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF GRINDING AND VIBRATION. I'M NOW GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A UNSAFE DEFECTED VEHICLE.
THE DOOR LOCKS CREATE A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I LOCKED MY TRUCK AND WENT INTO A STORE LEAVING AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK. I CAME OUT WITH PACKAGES AND ASKED THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. NEITHER THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH OR THE HANDLE WOULD ALLOW HER TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THERE IS ABSOLTELY NO WAY A PASSENGER CAN GET OUT FOR ANY REASON IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE KEYS. THE DEALER SAY THIS IS PART OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE OWNERS MANUAL DOESN'T GIVE ANY INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO DISARM THIS. PASSENGER LEFT IN TRUCK WITHOUT THE KEYES WITH THE DOORS LOCKED IS IN A DEATH TRAP BUILT BY CHEVROLET.
IN APRIL 2018, I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 I NOTICED AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE CHASSIS. IN MARCH 2019, THE CORROSION HAS INCREASED TO THE TOTAL FRONT OF MY CHASSIS RUSTING. NOTE: THE MARKERS USED AS A REFERENCE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO ASSEMBLE THE VEHICLE WERE STILL PRESENT, INDICATING A SHARPLY MARKER HAD ADHERED TO THE TRUCK BETTER THAN THE NOXRUST COATING. NOTE: I CLEAN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY( EVERY TWO WEEKS). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS TO NO AVAIL. THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER STANDARD DAMAGE TO THE PAINT. THE FAULT WAS NOT DAMAGE TO THE PAINT, RATHER THE WAX COATING SIMPLY DID NOT HOLD UP. ACCORDING TO THE SHOP RECORDS, MY TRUCK WAS STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY MEASURING AT 30,521 MILES. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL.
Mileage: 30,521

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY TRUCK. IT STOPPED FOR A SECOND AND THEN DID IT AGAIN THE CLUNKING SOUND GOT PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I NOTICED THE SOUND AT LOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, GOING OVER MINOR BUMPS AND BIG BUMPS IN THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE GOING OVER BIG BUMPS I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FLEXING AND/OR GRINDING METAL COMING FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO ROCK IT BACK AND FORTH AND NOTICED THE KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE AND THE SUSPENSION. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND DROVE OFF AND THE SOUNDS AGAIN STARTED. I HAVE INFANT TWINS THAT I WAS DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME AND I BECAME VERY CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AND MINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (SINCE IT IS BRAND NEW AND AT THE TIME ONLY HAD 2-3K MILES ON IT). THEY SAID "ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET TRUCKS" THE PAPERWORK THEY GAVE ME AFTER THE "REPAIR" STATED" LUBRICATE REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND RE-TORQUE BOLTS" THIS INDICATES I HAD LOOSE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY AGAIN STATED THE SAME REPAIR AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER REMEDY AND ALSO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER FORM OF SERVICE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 8K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON 4 SEPARATE INSTANCES FOR THE SAME SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE CLUNKING AND LOOSE SUSPENSION NOISES HAVE RETURNED AND I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 5TH TIME. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IN MY TRUCK NOR ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN OUR TRUCK BECAUSE SHES CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY!

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 80MPH WHICH FADES IN AND OUT. TIRES WERE ROAD FORCED BALANCED, AND ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED. THE SHACKING AT 80MPH CONTINUED. ON A 30 MILE COMMUTE AT 80MPH THE VIBRATION IS EXTREME 25% OF THE TIME (LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP), MODERATE ANOTHER 25% OF THE TIME, AND THE OTHER 50% THE VIBRATION IS NOT NOTICEABLE.

CONSTANT VIBRATION/SHAKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 65 MPH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE THE DAY IT LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND VIBRATION IS FELT, PUTTING THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL DOES NOT CHANGE THE VIBRATION, SLOWING DOWN MAKES IT SLIGHTLY WORSE, SPEEDING IT MAKES IT SLIGHTLY BETTER. FEELS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE GEOMETRY OF THE TRUCK MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ROAD FORCE BALANCE WAS ALREADY DONE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS ON A BRAND NEW TRUCK.
