2024 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Electrical System Problems

The radio cuts out which then kicks my cell phone off/navigations kicks off every few minutes. On one occasion the speedometer stopped. This cutting out makes it unsafe to drive because you are messing with the radio trying set up phone again or trying to get the navigation going again etc instead of paying attention to the road. over the past 1 plus years i have vearved off the road. i have had my truck in for repairs 7 times in 3 different dealerships. they have replaced the radio twice (found out later the 2nd time was a lie), a coaxial cables , and amplifier. i am told the same problem is happening on numbers GM vehicles and GM does not have a fix. I have requested my money back 3 times due to the safety of driving as is.. Gm have given me the run around all through it. they are aware of the problem but do not know how to fix. My third request did get addressed but was denied because they said the lemon law is only good for one year. I am about to run out of warranty and Gm has never fixed the problem. I am not the only one there are alot of this vechiles with this safety issue. i need someone to help protect myself and my family. GM needs to be forced to refund everyone money since they cannot repair these vehicles to make them safe.

It was down pouring, I needed to pull over. The electronic buttons below the big display which included the HAZARD LIGHTS FAILED to respond. A symptom was the fan speed on the display would also not disappear. The dealership said maybe it was in the middle of an update. After she rebooted it worked again.

We have had four previously documented issues with the electrical, brake and engine in our truck. Today, we were advised by the dealer that the truck had been fixed, and a new ECM had been installed. They advised they drove the truck for 100 miles and there were no issues. We picked the truck up and on the way home, while on the highway, the truck went into low power mode, the brakes went out, the check engine light and slip light came on. The dash began flashing detection warning lights (see attached photos): Brake system failure 62 MPH top speed, Service steering column lock, Reduced Acceleration drive with care, Service ESC, Service traction control. We immediately turned around and went back to the dealership and showed them what was going on. They took photographs and had the technician come out to look at the vehicle. He looked at the lights and codes and admitted he does not know what is going on. The service manager said that the company representative was coming tomorrow (10/21/25) and that he was going to speak with him and recommend a buyback. We left the truck with the dealer and were given a loaner car. This is the 5th incident with the same issues.

Truck will randomly throw codes for service 4wd and forward collision unavailable, rear cross traffic unavailable, lane departure will not work, auto high beams not work, and if parked position truck will not release Park brake making truck unable to be moved. Truck has been in and out of certified dealer 3 times and problems still occurring at random. Dealer has stated they are not able to duplicate issues and can't do anything. Issues happening pose risk while driving when codes come on making all standard safety features not to work in event of a accident. Also making truck not mobile when Park brake sets in event of accident.

07/28/2025 10:35am, We had just pulled onto an Interstate ramp and the engine powered down and the dashboard began flashing errors, service engine soon light came on. The following errors were displayed: Reduce speed to 62 mph, brake system failure, Service traction control, Service ESC, Service steering column lock, Trailer brakes disabled service required. I had no brakes and had to pump them to get stopped. I was able to pull to the side of the road and shut off the engine. I called dealer and reported issue as this occurred last Tuesday. They advised to bring the vehicle in at 0800 tomorrow. I restarted the vehicle and system reset and I was able to continue. At 12:58pm, I pulled off the interstate ramp onto a county road and the engine powered down again and displayed the same errors. The brakes did not fail this time and I was able to get home.

There is no sound from the entertainment system, this happens randomly about once a week. The Safty concern is that when this happens there is no sound for anything including directionals, other warnings and this can cause a Safty issue. The only way to have the system work again is to shut the vehicle off for ten minutes and restart. My vehicle has had the software updated at the dealership about every three months since I purchased it, and to no avail.

I purchased the Curt Triflex Next Trailer Brake Controller GM Part # 19435732 ( Although may be sold through several part #s) from Jim Norton Chevrolet as this is a GM recommended part through the GM parts catalog and is plug and play with included wiring harness making simple no wire splicing connection. The brake controller we need to tow or travel trailer it worked great for about a month maybe two , then I went to hook up our trailer and the brake controller would not function. So I had a electrician trouble shoot the power and all that checked out good. I contacted CURT for a warranty claim and they stated this is a known issue and they are sending me a new one and I did respond that's spooky what if I was towing and it stops controlling. this could lead to a serious safety issue. I unplugged and it and plugged back in and it started working then stopped again before the next weekend to pull my trailer. again Curt stated via email this is a known issue and sending me a new one when they are in stock , but I had not heard this until I contacted them for warranty claim and still have not received a replacement.

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the instrument cluster, steering functions, camera, and seat were inoperable. The contact stated that the instrument cluster was blank. While driving, there was a message “Can not Remove or Delete while Driving”. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the failure was due to the electronics, and a software update was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 300.

Mileage: 300

I was going 70 in the fast lane on [XXX] near birmingham, Al; when my 2024 Silverado lost propulsion, electrical and power steering. I was forced to move 3 lanes over to the emergency lane or wreck off to the left. When it lost propulsion i lost turn signals and power steering. They are going to attempt to fix it, but engines are on backorder. Regardless if it is fixed, the thing almost killed me. There's no way I'm going to be driving that thing. This issue was confirmed at the dealership and no warning lights came up on the screen prior to losing propulsion.

Since purchasing this truck 06/30/2024; during the 9100 miles driven, electrical issues such as check engine, EWS needs to be serviced, Forward Collision Service, Stereo screen freezing up, Tire Pressure stating air is needed but checked air pressure, it is where it should be, Right Signal Trailer service needed but not pulling a trailer. Three times after starting the truck it failed to go into reverse, stuck in neutral. Two of the three times it was able to reset after 10 minutes of shutting down the truck and restarting. Third time had to get the truck towed due to unable to reverse out of parking spot. When driving it seems as if the truck is stuck in 2nd gear while trying to accelerate, rough driving at times. When car turns off it makes knocking noise and sounds like it is trying to turn off electrically. Tailgate would open while driving even though shut and checked. Driver seat motor failing while trying to move the seat. Middle seat stays in upright locked position for days before it will release. Dealership is stating that valve body needs to be changed but will take up to 6-8 months due to backordered part, but no loaner car is available. Will have to be without a vehicle for the entire time. All is covered under warranty.

The 2024 silverado with 13.4 infotainment system is unpredictable and often looses paring with iphone during driving. This is a major distraction because then to reestablish pairing for directions from apple maps or google maps chevy tells me you need to stop your vehicle. Put it in park. Re-establish pairing, te-enter destination and have it car play. This is 10x more distracting that someone using their phone non hands free. Furthermore gor music it often defaults to sirrus radio and to get itvto am or fm tequires you to step through many buttons on the steering wheel or touch an extremely small button like 3/16” in diameter to change to either am or fm. Again, a huge distraction. My 2016 chevy cruz and 2017 silverado worked flawlessly with out distraction. I talk to many others who have simply given up on using it because its too dangerous to take your eyes off the road to change settings. Im a retires EE and software developer and this is terrible and NTHB should look into it and test drive one for a couple hundred miles. Been buying Chevys since my first car in 1976 and never been disappointed with any till now. GM customer Service on several occasions and local dealer has been no help

Vehicle has left me stranded multiple times, once over 2000 miles from home at only 26k miles on the vehicle with catastrophic engine emissions and electrical failures. Costing me thousands in lodging and months of my time. My vehicle has stalled multiple times on interstates and busy roads with no shoulders putting me and other drivers at risk.

I believe the GM 13.4 infotainment system, particularly the navigation system and the radio control exhibit a very bad driver distraction that could lead to wrecks. Specifically with much more traffic now a vast majority of people traveling beyond places they are familiar with rely on the bigger screens on new vehicles so they get a clearer picture of turns ahead. I have experienced multiple occasions where the Silverado infotainment/navigation system randomly unpairs itself from my iPhone and then I’m forced to handhold a phone for navigation which is illegal in my state. I’ve talked to others that have the same problem, the screen going blank and it unpairs whether wireless Bluetooth or USB connected to the proper port. Unacceptable for a $70,000 vehicle. Also GM apparently in an attempt to advertise Sirius radio and subscription plans displays what appear to be warning signs on the display thereby distracting a driver again. The only way to change out of the Sirrus default stations reliably is to push a very small software button smaller than a pencil eraser. Again you must take your eyes off the road for a couple seconds to perfectly align your finger with the active portion of the software button. I see no way to say default to say radio on startup. You can on the steering wheel toggle many pushes to get through factory presets but many of those presets take you back to the menus to order sirrus radio. My background is electrical engineering and IT systems. I’ve never seen a more complicated and unreliable sequences and I don’t believe GM fully tested it. There is no doubt in my mind it’s a serious distraction more so than just about any other distraction because it’s particularly annoying and then puts the driver in a bad mood. I understand Android phones work slightly better but the population of Apple phones is significant. I’ve spoken with GM customer service several times and Apple several times GM blames Apple Apple blames GM and Google/Android head unit

The entire camera safety system is glitchy. Whether backing up or not, the side, front, back and top view camera system intermittently works then doesn’t, going days on end without working.

There is an electrical problem in this vehicle. You can be driving down the road with your high beams on, and they will start flashing. Or they will stop working altogether. Dashboard lights will go out until a restart of the vehicle. ( Speedometer or Tachometer.) The overhead light can just come on driving without you having touched it. The steering wheel controls will stop working. Until you restart the vehicle. The radio has gone out until restart. I have already had to have the transmission replaced in this truck at 24,000 miles. The dealership keeps telling me about these new issues. That unless they find a code. There isn’t a problem. This is not what I paid 62,000 dollars for. The dealer I bought it from is telling me that they will possibly do a buyback. Yet they keep telling me they will get back to me and they don’t. I called the woman who was supposed to call me back. She says she had a family emergency. Chevrolet needs to back their vehicles.

the digital speedometer disappears randomly as do other visual features of the driver information area the trucks auto lock feature randomly docent lock the truck or unlocks the truck when unattended

The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after the vehicle was serviced at the local dealer for a manufacturer software update the vehicle's display console began to experience failures causing several safety features to become inoperable. Later, while driving in reverse the vehicle crashed into the pole. During the incident, the collision avoidance feature to alert the driver was not activated. The contact indicated that as the vehicle drove closer to the pole the driver's seat did not vibrate, the audible alarm was not active and the warning message was not displayed to alert the driver of an impending crash into the pole. During the crash, the contact experienced an injured back that did not require medical attention at the time. No police report was filed and the vehicle was driven from the scene. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 10,500.

Mileage: 10,500

I was taking a left from a stop sign onto a busy boulevard and as soon as I had passed the median I started losing acceleration and it felt like the transmission or engine was glitching or lugging. The engine began to try restarting itself possibly from the auto start-stop however I was now almost at a dead stop in the left hand lane in the dark. I promptly attempted to turn my hazards on, but they would not turn on while it was trying to start so I held the brake pedal down for light. I tried to turn the truck off and turn it back on however the hazards still did not work, none of the gauges went off when the truck was turned off, IE gas and voltage gauges were stuck. After attempting to put it into park and drive a few times I was finally able to turn the truck off, open the door and close it. At this point I was finally able to get the hazards turned on, however, it seemed like they would not stay on when the truck was trying to start so I could get out of the left hand lane. Fortunately someone stopped and we were able to push the truck off onto the median. After about a dozen attempts, the truck finally started, with the last attempt pumping the gas repeatedly for about twenty seconds. I drove hit for another twenty minutes and it drove okay with the engine light on. Onstar diagnostics mentioned possible fuel pump relay. I will note I did test drive a same year GMC equivalent model, and as the dealer went to gas it up, it would not start again. It ended up being the fuel pump relay.

I purchased my truck in August of 2024, new off of the lot. Within the first week there was an issue with the infotainment system of the truck with muted all audio. This includes all safety features that have audio alerts, navigation, stereo, blinkers. Anything audio is affected. This has now happened to my tuck 6 times since purchasing it. I have researched this online, and it has been a common issue since at least 2022 with no solution by Chevrolet. I have concerns since this affects all safety features built into the truck.

all camera work off and on had it at dealer 6times cannot fix it

On 10/14/2024, My vehicle got broken into and my gun, magazines, and gun case got stolen. The vehicle alarm system did not go off. This is a safety issue, in addition, it is a manufacturer defect.

After picking up my car from Autonation Chevrolet for the same issue I am reporting, I was driving, and the car dashboard lights all came on. The AC stopped working, too.

The Bluetooth handsfree system has sound problems within incoming and outgoing calls. The radio is working between, Sirius XM and Bluetooth music from the cell phone, with no issues along with AM and FM transmissions. However, when on the phone there are random crackle noises from the speakers. Most of the time it's when they're pronouncing letters that creat a higher pitch sound in normal conversations followed with the crackle. It's happening throughout the call and is consistent on every call. Test were completed with the Dealership’s Service Adviser where we replicated the issue with his cell phone separate from mine. After researching this, I have discovered is is not an isolated problem. Please see the following link where others are expressing the same problem: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am writing to request urgent assistance with my Chevrolet truck, which has experienced several serious issues recently. On September 25, 2024, while driving, the steering wheel became stiff, and the engine's power stopped. The dashboard lights remained on, and I was unable to start or turn off the vehicle. The Chevrolet app initially indicated an airbag system issue. However, the next day, it reported problems with the engine and transmission system. I scheduled an appointment with the Bomnin dealership for September 28. When I arrived, the service advisor informed me that due to a backlog, the truck could not be inspected immediately and advised me to return in a month. Consequently, the vehicle has not yet been seen by a Chevrolet mechanic. On September 29, the Chevrolet app also indicated an issue with the anti-lock braking system. To date, I have not received a clear explanation or resolution for these problems. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to expedite the repair process and address these issues as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Vehicles dash restarted while driving. All error lights came on and the dash cycled back up like when starting the vehicle. This is a safety risk because you cannot see any info on the dash, including speedometer, RPMs and fuel level! I spoke with the dealer, and the dealer stated if they cannot re-create the problem. There is nothing they are able to do and they have not heard of this before. There were no warnings at all for this issue.

As I stopped at a red light, I received a message on my instrument panel to “push state”. I noticed my RPMs were at 0 and my vehicle was in neutral. I attempted to shift into drive, but received the same message again. I already had my foot on the brake as I was stopped, so I pushed the start button. The vehicle began its normal startup sequent and my RPMs return to normal. I shifted into drive and was able to continue to where I was headed. At no time did I ever shift the vehicle into neutral or turn it off.

Back up camera and other cameras intermittently stop working and an error pops up on the screen. Could be a safety issue when reversing.

The cluster that makes my dash gauges visible has failed and malfunctioning. The safety concern is that I cannot see my speed, my tire pressure, mileage, and I will not be able to see if there are other issues wrong with my vehicle since the entire dash gauges are not visible. The system is not resetting while driving and I lose power when it does that. I have to guess when to put gas or put the risk of myself and other drivers of my vehicle stalling out in the middle of a highway. The issue has been inspected by a dealer during an oil change and they even left a note for me that they were unable to reset my oil mileage because the system is not working. The dealership performed a system test and performed an update and they confirmed that did not fix the cluster issue. There were no warnings before this happened.
