Nov 17, 2025 Crash

The vehicle was in a collision that occurred to the front of the vehicle causing the seat belts to lock up a burst of compressed air to come from the dash, the hazards to engage and the dome lights to engage, the vehicle then was taken into get repaired at a certified dealership, after dealing with the dealership and General Motors we find out the sensor did engage for the airbags to deploy but the airbags failed to deploy properly or break through the dash, the dealership and manufacturer are now not wanting to find out why this is doing this and just put a new airbag baffle in and call it a day.

There are recalls on other chevy with different vin numbers. On this truck the automatic tail gate keeps ope ing and closing and opening when driving down the road, I have been lucky not to loose stuff out the back when it decides to open while driving down the road.

Tailgate going up and down on its own when in park. Now it will not open at all. There is a recall #N232426400 but dealership says it is not listed for my truck.

See recall N232426400 or customer satisfaction recall N232426401. My tailgate opens on its own and the button has quit working manually. My truck is apparently not a part of the recall?

Service trailer brake system fault resulting in battery drain causing failure to strart

Jun 11, 2025

While towing our camper, the trailer brakes constantly turn off and on. The camper dealer already checked over the camper wiring, and hooked it to Ford and Ram tow vehicles and could not replicate the problem. The problem is obviously with my Silverado. For the additional details below; - The approximate date is Anytime and Everytime we tow the camper. - There could be a crash anytime the trailer brakes turn off. - A crash due to no trailer brakes Could cause a fire. - An injury or fatality would be highly likely if the trailer brakes "disconnect" at the wrong time causing a crash, with or without fire. - There would most certainly be a police report if any of the above happened.

Tail gate opens and shut by its self while I’m going down the road have dropped a couple things out and lost them could have been worse if some one hit by jack that fell out

So the electrical would be when I shut my truck off in park I cannot turn my key completely back to release the key so therefore I’m killing my battery leaving the power on as far as the tires they’re rated for 50 or 55,000 miles I have 37,000 miles and I have no tread left and as far as my drivetrain when accelerating onto a highway pulling my fifth wheel camper that is 16,000 pounds loaded the truck box really bad as far as the crash warning breaking system it does not break

When vehicle is placed in park the safety lock will not allow the key to turn to the "off" position and be removed. The vehicle will not turn "off" any further than the accessory position. Sometimes after turning the steering wheel back and forth while working the ignition the key will release. If this does not work after a minute or so, sometimes you can start the truck and immediately turn it all the way off and get the key to release. If all of that fails the last option is to disconnect the battery. It is an intermittent issue that will happen 5 times a day for a week, and then will not replicate again for a week or two.

When I park and attempt to turn off my truck, the key will not turn completely all the way so I can take it out!!! Takes MULTIPLE TIMES which is EXTREMELY INCOVENIENT

Rear back-up camera is intermittent and is a safety concern due to the size of the vehicle. I makes it un-safe when backing up. This has been happening more and more. Screen is either black or icon displays that the camera is not working.

Vehicle gives "shift to park" warning when already in park. Occasionally, vehicle will not shut off. Once it does shut off, dash lights and controls do not shut off. Vehicle will not lock upon exit. Warning lights and beeping causes battery to drain. I have been left stranded with dead battery twice.

When shifting into park and turning ignition OFF a message appears on dash saying to “shift to park”. Vehicle will shut off but will not then shift, nor will steering will lock AND ignition will NOT shut off. It is unclear if vehicle is actually in Park mode. Vehicle has to be left running for up to several hours before transmission recognizes that it is in park and then ignition will turn off correctly. This issue has been experienced by many Chevrolet owners. Issue has been reported to GM.

The tail gate opens when parked and remote is on the counter. Tail gate now has damage from opening on its own and hitting the garage door. This has happened on multiple occasions and in multiple scenarios.

Sep 10, 2024

Tail gate is opening on its own. We checked the recall list and although our year, make and model is listed, the vin# doesn't show a recall. Clearly, there are more vehicles affected than GMC has included. This is a very serious safety issue and we thought you should be aware that perhaps the recall on the tailgates involve more vehicles than they've included.

Electronic trailer brake controller when using disconnects and reconnects turning trailer brakes on and off creating an unsafe situation by never knowing if trailer brakes are going work. Dealer states no problem found with controller and changed trailer plug. Not correcting issue. Tried 2 other trailers same issue occurred. Leading to believe controller is issue. Web search indicates there are many others with similar issue. Dealer states there are no recalls indicating this issue. This has been issue for a few weeks while traveling with a travel trailer.

Aug 8, 2024

The tailgate opens on it's own. This is unsafe because the tailgate can open without me knowing it and cause a safety hazard by hitting someone OR by items falling out of the bed of the truck while driving. That can cause injury or damage to people and/or property.

Lost power while driving for 30 seconds. While on the interstate. Now truck battery has to be jumped to start. Dashboard giving out random codes. Check 4x4, check DEF( def is still at half full), check trailer( no trailer is connected) Took to dealership, 4 active codes P0336, P12A6, U029D, U029E. Test failed since code cleared U18D7, U18FE Current codes C1596, C15AC

Keep getting Shift to Park message. At times, the vehicle will not allow me to lock my vehicle after being shut off. I have to keep wiggling the shifter to get the message to clear.

Even though electronic parking brake has NOT been set when parking, upon leaving from parking space, electronic parking brake engages and vehicle feels and sounds as though parking brake has been applied. My concern is that parking brake may engage while driving at speed and loss of vehicle control could occur. This problem is intermittent and has occurred 6 or 7 times during the month of February 2024. Vehicle has 6500 miles on it.

I was almost run over by a Semi-Truck when entering the freeway because my 2022 Chevrolet Truck would not accelerate. I was told at the dealer the loss of power was intentionally caused by the onboard computer. It is programed by the manufacturer to do this anytime certain repairs may be needed. In my case, the life-threatening event I experienced took place because a sensor went out and the computer thought a repair was needed.

The transmission oil coolant rubs against the engine oil coolant line causing one or both lines to leak out. There are no warning lights when this happens, the vehicle will just stop accelerating. I was on the freeway pulling a trailer weighing about 9k pounds, traveling at about 75 mph when this happened to me. I was able to clear the traffic and limp off the freeway. The car was towed to Henson Chevrolet Buick GMC in Madisonville, TX. I contact my insurance company USAA and explained what happened they did not wish to look into it. The dealership is very vague when providing updates. I have been also working with a GM customer service rep. No one seems to really care about the safety issue. I have requested a detailed report of the issues and the repairs. The vehicle has been in the shop at the dealership since 8/13/2022.
