Tailgate opens automatically on its own while parked and while driving. This also causes the battery to drain down to being dead as it continues to operate the actuator I had to unplug the electronic tailgate switch to stop the battery from graining. Besides the battery draining, the tailgate opened when I had a load in the bed of the pick up truck as I drove causing a possible unsafe load and spillage onto the road way. Dealership notified. Appt scheduled for Jan7 2026. No warning lamps came on.

The drivers side window regulator cable completely rusted through and broke. There should be a recall as there is a ton of videos on YouTube on how to fix this. Every single one of us the bottom cable completely rusted through and broke on the regulator. First picture is old rusted broke one, 2nd is the new gm part, You can see it was sitting in water, my truck is less than 3 years old. Oh it’s always the driver side

Dec 9, 2025

My check engine light came on and the diagnostic code was p1098. I noticed there was a special warranty for my make and model and engine but for some reason mine does not have this special warranty. I have researched and found out this is a common problem with these trucks. I think there should be a recall for this as it poses safety problems and concerns when it enters limp mode

The truck continued to give us issues leading us to the last incident for the same exact thing transmission failed again October 7, 2025. again in the middle of a very dangerous street in Hialeah, Florida where we had to once again to the car to the service department the truck remained in the service department until November 21, 2025. Each failure has happened while driving. Two transmission replacements June service and Oct. 2025 three months apart. The truck is unsafe I am scared to drive it and we have children ranging from newborn,one year-old , teenagers. I keep getting a runaround between the GM customer service the service department. Almost 6 months non use first year!

The Telematics module on my car stopped working. It caused all of my warning tones to go out and are not audible. Furthermore the OnStar system is not working. I have read a lot of post and it seems like the module is a high fail item and if it fails after the manufactures warranty then we are left with a pretty hefty bill just to get one of the safety features to work. GM needs to fix this at their expense given the amount of modules that have failed in the past few years on newer vehicles.

Oct 8, 2025

We are having 2 problems with this vehicle. The first is the key in the ignition is not always removeable when you turn the truck off. The second is we are told called the chevy shudder. It almost feels like the wheels pause for a micro second. It feels like the there is something wrong in the transmission, drive train area. The truck started doing this when it had less than 50,000 miles on it. It hasn't broke down yet but it wouldn't surprise me if it did any day now.

Oct 6, 2025

The truck lost power without warning. No warning lights, messages or other symptoms prior to the truck not having any power. Scary because we where traveling at around 40-50 mph and the truck lost power while on the road with other vehicles. The truck is at a dealership now being investigated.

Sep 29, 2025

This truck is locking up momentarily, sometimes at high rates of speed on the interstate. It is very violent and jars the neck of my and my passengers. It leaves tire skid marks on the highway at high rates of speeds. It happens when i slow down or when the truck tries to shift gears. Turns out, GM HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, (N242454440) but my VIN is not included for some reason. The Chevy dealer has confirmed this issue and is recommending a new transmission. This has been ongoing since July and I am on pins and needles every time I drive this vehicle. Can you please encourage GM to include my VIN in their recall: N242454440, holding me harmless for the repairs?

Sep 28, 2025

Difficulty shifting from Drive to Park.

Sep 19, 2025

I have contacted a dealer on 3 occasions to help me with an unrepaired recall. I contacted GM directly regarding the recall. They won't look at my truck to determine what needs to be done.

Sep 7, 2025

While towing a camping trailer, the brakes for the trailer kept issuing a warning saying "connected" then "not connected - check trailer brake wiring". Then "trailer brake not connected". After a while the brake system stopped working entirely. The 30 amp fuse that controls the trailer braking system blows out. This fuse is not a common fuse and not available at some auto parts stores (not really convenient while towing away from home). Evidently there is a problem with the brake control module that is factory installed. The module does not like the charging system on the trailer battery. I have spent hundreds of dollars and many hours in different shops trying to trace down this problem. It is very unsafe to have the trailer brakes not work while driving. This faulty module needs to be recalled. Part # 23306694

Jul 17, 2025 Crash

While driving my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado, the vehicle suddenly veered to the right without any driver input, ultimately crashing into a concrete guardrail. At the time of the incident, I was merging into the left lane with my turn signal activated and traveling below the posted speed limit. According to the statement provided to my insurance company—and based on my direct experience—the truck appeared to take control of itself, and I could not prevent it from veering off the road. The impact caused significant front-end damage and triggered the deployment of the airbags. It is important to note that the lane keep assist feature was turned off at the time of the crash—we do not use or rely on this feature. Therefore, the event cannot be attributed to any automated steering correction system. The airbag deployment resulted in serious injuries to the front-seat passenger, who sustained severe burns and blistering to the right arm and hand. The injuries were substantial and are documented in photographs, which can be provided upon request. A VIN search confirmed that this vehicle has no active recalls. However, the circumstances of this crash suggest a potential malfunction in the electronic steering assist, throttle control, or transmission system. After the crash, the vehicle was towed to my insurance company’s preferred collision repair shop. However, I have not authorized any repairs or inspections. I specifically instructed the shop to delay all work until after I file this safety complaint and have the opportunity to request a third-party inspection. The vehicle remains in its post-crash condition, and to the best of my knowledge, the Event Data Recorder (EDR) has not been altered and should still contain valuable diagnostic data. I respectfully request that this incident be investigated as a potential vehicle safety defect. I am providing photographic evidence of the crash damage and resulting injuries.

Jul 9, 2025

While driving, speed can vary, but yesterday we were going almost 50, and the transmission or brakes lock up which causes the back axel to lock up and the tire squeal, similar to slamming on the brakes. It caused my truck to sway side to side and scare the hell out of my son. Definitely not safe. The local dealer says it is a stuck valve or something. It has caused the engine light to come on multiple times, but will go off after 24 hours or so. But it keeps occurring. Happened 3 times on 7-8-25. Give a whiplash feeling to the body as well. One coded P0747 Transmission Solenoid Valve 1 Stuck on invalid configuration Other time was P0700 Transmission Control Module Requested Malfunction Please issue a recall so this can be resolved before an accident or injury occurs.

Jul 1, 2025

My vehicle has been at the dealership for almost three months due to the coolant control valve not working- dealership waiting on part. The check engine kept showing on the dashboard and engine fans running loud. My vehicle has about 22,000 miles on it.

Jun 19, 2025

Our Parking brake locked up and we could not go anywhere. Had to have it taken to a dealership to have it looked at. Then all our warning lights keep going off and it says acceleration speed slow down drive safely and its parked. We have had nothing but problems with the truck since we bought it. We had the transmission replaced before there was even 50,000 miles on it. I feel we got a lemon nothing but problems.

Jun 19, 2025

The issue is two fold, first the seal on the rear spoiler is defective and causing water to leak into the cab. Second, the seal around the rear power sliding window is defective and is also leaking into the cab. My safety concern is the amount of black mold that could be trapped between the headliner and roof putting myself and family at grave risk.

Jun 2, 2025

Driving across town, rear wheel lock up occurred. Feels like hitting a small tree. Scary situation. Whole truck is rocked.

May 29, 2025

Driving across town. Going around 30 mph. Through a busy intersection and the rear wheels locked up again. Sends a jolt to anyone in the vehicle. Causing a whiplash effect. Scary as hell. Seems to happen almost daily now. Very unsafe. Worried about myself and anyone behind me. Dealer and other mechanics described it as "momentary wheel lock up". Please issue a recall.

May 28, 2025

When accelerating, it started around 35 mph, I would be driving and it would feel like hitting a speed bump, even though there wasn't a speed bump. Over the past month, it has moved to about the 45 mph, and the rear wheels completely lock up for a second, cause the tires to "squeal" as if slamming on the brakes. It gives anyone in the vehicle a whiplash effect. Any loose items in the truck will go flying. It is a scary situation and I am worried it is going to cause damage to myself or my passengers or cause an accident. The term given to me by the dealer is "Momentary Rear Wheel Lock-Up". They were very familiar with the issue, but since my VIN wasn't on the recall, they wouldn't do anything. This has happened numerous times, starting back in early March. The issue has escaladed and gotten worse. The latest date is noted below.

2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is unable recognize that it has been placed in park consistently, essentially trapping us in the vehicle until the "Shift to Park" error gets corrected. After shifting the vehicle into park and pressing the button to turn off the vehicle, an error comes up on the dash saying "Shift to Park". In order to clear this error and have the vehicle recognize that it is safely parked, we must turn the vehicle back on, put the vehicle in reverse or drive, and depress the gas pedal to move the vehicle slightly, shift the vehicle to park again, wait at least 30 seconds to a minute, and then finally press the button to turn off the vehicle. And we must repeat this anywhere from 3 to 15 times until the brakes safely engage to park the vehicle. I worry that the vehicle wont safely go into park and will roll away on its own. This is the same error that was reported for other GM models recently and is affecting the safety, reliability, usability, and longevity of this vehicle.

My vehicle has 43K miles and I just got a p1098 code. I took it to a local mechanic and they have determined that the Engine coolant Control Valve Position Sensor is not functioning. This is causing the fan to run at 100% at all times. I am also getting a message on the dash stating that the vehicle is in reduced acceleration mode. When doing my research I have found that this part is failing on multiple Silverado's. The part is on national back order and the dealership won't answer any questions regarding warranty.

At ~51,000 miles, my 2022 Silverado Trail Boss 6.2L L87 experienced a sudden engine failure while on / exiting the highway. The engine began shaking violently, the check engine light flashed, and it lost all power without warning. It was towed and remained out of service for 28 days. The dealer diagnosed lifter delamination, a scored camshaft, and scored cam, main, and rod bearings. Metal shavings were found in the engine, indicating internal contamination. Despite the severity, the manufacturer approved only an engine overhaul, not a full replacement. The service manager stated, “it’s nearly impossible to get these motors,” pointing to a national shortage due to widespread failures of the 6.2L engine platform. After picking up the vehicle, I immediately noticed a rattling noise from underneath. I returned to the dealer (who also failed to recharge the AC system). They traced the noise to the catalytic converter and muffler and quoted $2,709.24 to replace the full exhaust system. The manufacturer refused to cover the repair, even though the issue appeared immediately after the engine failure. The dealer did not confirm the exact cause, but possible contributing factors include combustion instability, engine misfires, unburned fuel, and extreme vibration during the failure. These conditions can severely impact the exhaust system and emissions components. I was quoted nearly $4,000 for an extended warranty, which I now feel pressured to buy due to loss of confidence in the engine. Metal debris may have affected the oiling system, injectors, or other critical parts. This raises serious safety concerns: sudden power loss at highway speed, compromised emissions components, and the risk of future failures. With the 6.2L under NHTSA investigation, I believe this incident supports further review or recall.

My tailgate started opening randomly for 2 consecutive days now. This happens while the vehicle is in park with the keys out of the ignition and also while driving down the road exposing items in the bed to possibly fall out and cause potential injury or death from accidents.

Mar 4, 2025

Electrical Component failure in the tailgate handle causes the tailgate to come open at anytime during driving. Also the malfunction causes your battery to go dead

Jan 30, 2025

- Engine seizure: Reason Undisclosed to me - Vehicle was traveling at highway speeds, lost power steering - Dealership disclosed that it was due to an engine seizure - UNKNOWN - Only 1 indicator came on the instrument cluster and occurred after the failure. The indicator stated “Shifting conditions not met” I had lost power from the vehicle and vehicle shifted into neutral by itself. The vehicle was within normal temperatures before the incident and maintenance was up-kept.

Jan 15, 2025

I have both key fobs with me in the vehicle and it will not start. I have a message on the dash stating” key fob not detected” I live in North Dakota and the winters here reach temperature to -40. I find this issues to be very dangerous, potentially being stranded in the middle of nowhere and not being able to start your vehicle manually.

Back glass has cracks in upper plastic rail and is leaking

Aug 26, 2024

As I was exiting a highway offramp after about (4) hours of driving, the Infotainment radio went to full volume as I was listening to music either on Spotify (through Apple Car Play) or Sirius XM, I can't remember. It startled me to the point I almost rear-ended the car in front of me. As fast as I was trying to turn the volume down with the steering wheel controls, it went right up to 100% faster. The mute button on the dash did not work, I finally was able to hit the pause button on the app., and eventually fiddled with the infotainment system until the volume controls returned to normal.

May 1, 2024

While driving, my Bose radio system went to full volume and would not respond. I tried to turn the radio off but the power button would not work. I tried to turn the volume down using both the volume knob and the volume controls on the steering wheel with negative results. If I turned the volume knob fast enough, I could get the volume to turn down, but I had to continually keep turning the knob counter-clockwise else the volume would return to full volume. I was able to pull off the road and I turned the truck off. I turned the truck back on but the volume was still at full volume. I let the truck sit around 10 minutes and was able to drive it again with normal volume. I called my dealer, Bob Jass Chevrolet in Elburn IL to report the incident. Erin said to bring the truck in to have it reprogrammed. This happened once before - summer 2023. Bob Jass Chevrolet reprogrammed it on [XXX]. Other owners have reported having this issue in the Silverado Truck forums. When this happens it is a major distraction, and it will result in someone crashing because of it. Component: Bose sound system. It is available for inspection with proper notice Safety at risk: The volume goes to full volume instantly without warning and can't be turned down. The truck must rest approximately 10 minutes to return to normal. Problem reproduced: When I reported this to the dealer in June 2023 Erin advised this has happened to other owners and she wasn't surprised. Component inspected: Bob Jass Chevrolet service department has reprogrammed the Bose sound system once before but the problem happened again on [XXX]. Warnings: No warnings - the volume jumps to full volume instantly without warning. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

“Service Trailer Brake System” alert on info center and Trailer Brake Contol lights flickering since purchase February 2022 Trailer brakes intermittently do not work while towing 29’ camper trailer. Reported this issue several times to several different Chevrolet service departments. Have been told by every service department that there isn’t a problem.

Jan 4, 2024

While I was driving down the interstate the audio went to maximum volume. This caused me to panic while driving 70 mph down a very busy interstate because the music was blasting very loudly. I was quickly trying to turn it down and would not work. The power and mute would not work. I had to grab my phone and switch over to Apple Music play a song and then pause it and just keep it paused the entire drive. This happened about 5-6 times in the past year. This is a very serious safety problem. It could easily cause a wreck from panic or dangerous to a newborn baby in the vehicle with speakers blaring as loud as it can possibly go. I have taken it to a dealership twice over it and was just told it’s an update. This is not something you should have to worry about for the life of a new vehicle or take in for an update every time this happens. Luckily nothing happened to me but could have ended very badly or for someone who gets startled easily and possibly damage your hearing.

When driving the RADIO goes full volume, then after about 15sec ( and spilling your coffee all over the place) it turns down then the radio screen says restarting. Now 2 issues this is going to blow all of my speakers and no one will warranty it ( cause its not my fault it goes full ON) and the other issue is ... i'm driving at 5am and this thing goes full blast and when your drinking your coffee or anything and this sudden JOLTED IMPACT OF NOISE hits ya scared the crap out of you... this needs to be fixed... it happens like once a month.. very random... but it happens after the truck has sat for a work shift or in the morning but not always in that scenario

Sep 11, 2023

The audio in the truck increased to maximum volume on its own- without user/driver input. The only way to reset the radio is to pull over, shut off the truck, and open the door. This is extremely hazardous and distracting while operating the vehicle. It is an urgent safety concern for the driver and all passengers, as well as other vehicles.

Jul 27, 2023

The inside silver trim pieces blind the driver and passenger when the sun reflects off them. The trim piece on the driver side reflects into the side view mirror, blinds the driver and does not allow you to see blind spots.

Jul 3, 2023

Still haven’t received any information on when the retrofit process will be completed.

Jun 24, 2023

Manufacturer and dealership cannot resolve active recalls because the vehicle does not have the part (sports bar with chimsl accessories high brake light) marked in the recall. Vehicle was ordered with the accessory on the window sticker but it did not fit properly and due to this was removed from the truck. Dealership refuses to resolve the recall even though the part does not exist on the truck.

Jun 9, 2023 Fire

I was driving on Pa Turnpike around Denver, PA, at about 75 MPH, I saw in my review mirror, what I first though was dust or smoke blowing around my truck bed. I slowed down 10-15 MPH, a small flame was visible through the rear window, between cab and bed. I immediately pulled over, put in park , turned on flashers, grabbed my phone and wallet, got out of the vehicle. opened the rear door grabbed one bag and saw flames over the cab. Flames were visibly getting larger between cab and and bed, flames were also exiting under bed and driver side rear wheel well. I walked up the turnpike about 100 feet and called 911. The truck became fully engulfed while on phone with 911. Picture labeled first picture was after 911 call, and about 5-min after stopping vehicle. Fire Company showed up 15-min. later but vehicle was already gone. Allstate Ins. has possession of truck. Truck had 25K miles and was purchased new January 2022. The truck has been maintained per manufactures specifications by Faulkner Chevrolet in Lancaster, PA. The truck had no damage ever, was never off-road, and there were no environmental issues to cause the fire. Only modifications to vehicle was a professionally sprayed in bed liner.

I bought the High Country one year ago, signed a paper "we owe you" computer chip for front and rear bumper sensors. They said "should be in by July '22. I have checked with Service and Sales, no answers and no help. How do I get the sensors ?

Mar 16, 2023

i AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH RADIO NOT PLAYING, IT MAY AT BEGINNING OF TRIP OR NOT. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. IT WILL ONLY START AUDIO WHEN IT WANTS TO. DURING THE TIME PERIOD OF NO AUDIO - THE BLUE TOOTH DOES NOT WORK EITHER. I CAN HEAR PEOPLE BUT THEY CANNOT HEAR ME. I HAVE HAD THIS AT THE DEALER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ON STAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR ME , OR I CANNOT MAKE A CALL IF NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS, I HAVE ASKED FOR A VEHICLE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GENERAL MOTORS WITH NO RESOLUTION AT THIS POINT. THIS TRUCK IS NEW AND SIGNED PAPERS DECEMBER 22ND.

High Co2 in cab every time I start the truck due to exhaust leak

Feb 16, 2023

Purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST with the Trailer brake controller installed from GM. Though when I got home and tried moving my trailer I made it roughly 2 miles before the Driver Information Center notified me “Trailer Brakes Disabled Service Required” followed by the trailer brakes no longer working.

Jan 17, 2023

The car has been running in remote start mode.mode. The problem with this car is that even when I shut off the vehicle, the engine keeps running.Onstar was able to come in overnight to retrieve the truck and deliver it to the dealer. It's not safe to drive a truck in these conditions, but since my family and I were on the other side of town, we decided to slow down and head home. Note : The truck was full of gas This is a safety issue that must be addressed as people leave their trucks inside their homes while the truck is still on. It also increase the level of CO2 inside the house hold . Another fact while the truck stayed on the air condition system also stayed on ( full power ) and i start smelling burned motor which i belive this would caused fire

The integrated trailer brake system fails shortly after plugging in a trailer. I have tried both my travel trailer and flatbed trailer. Both have the same issue. This started in November 2022, the first time I tried to pull one of my trailers. The message on the driver information panel would say Trailer Braking system disabled. System needs repair. I can't pull any trailer with electric brakes at this time. I purchased the truck in October 2022. Took it to the dealership I bought it from. They where able to make the message appear. This is reference document PIT5948A-GM. They say it is being worked on, but no resolution at this time. Not sure what I am suppose to do, as I would like to use my trailers.

Nov 2, 2022

Service Trailer Brake Message with DTC C159C; Upon attaching my RV trailer, the trailer connected to the integrated systems as expected. Went though light inspections. I adjusted trailer brake gain. Upon first drive the message: Trailer Brakes Disabled Service Required. Took vehicle to dealership. They found #PIT5948A from Oct 6th, 2022 stating that engineers are aware of issue for all models using this integrated trailer brake. This is an Urgent issue and critical for those pulling trailers with brakes. This is very dangerous to have trailer brakes disabled when pulling heavy trailers can can result in serious accidents and should be addressed immediately. I've also not seen any communications on this from GM.

Oct 24, 2022

From day one of purchasing this vehicle the trailer brake controller would stop working after a mile or so while towing either of my two trailers. I brought the truck back to the dealer to get this issue fixed and their service response was "we could not duplicate problem, it must be with your trailer". I have two 10K trailers and both have same issue with my truck. I then went to and Utility Trailer dealer to determine if a new/never used trailer on the lot would duplicate them problem, which it did, proving the issue is not with my trailers, it is with the truck. This issue is a true safety issue because the warning 'brakes disabled' does not show up until you start driving/pulling a trailer. The brake controller message comes up on front display (trailer brakes disabled service required) and this shuts off trailer brakes which is a true safe issue if the vehicle needs stop. I've researched this issue extensively and social media platforms have this same issue reported however to my dismay there are no active or open recalls. I NEED THIS FIXED and I will continue to pursue and raise this issue as it's both dangerous and frustrating that I purchased a very expensive vehicle where I cannot use it as I need to.
