At least 3 times while driving the entire radio and information system has shut down while driving and completely gone black for 2-3 minutes and reset to factory reset This does not show as recall but worried that it may shut down vehicle completely Have told dealership during routine maintenance and they said they find no problem Obviously there is a reason this is happening

Silverado 1500

  • 7,300 miles
This truck doesn't even have 7500 miles on it. It was driven to work this morning without issue and parked for approximately four hours. Upon attempting to start it for lunch hour three messages showed up in the dic: 1) 'service ESC', 2) 'service power steering', and 3) 'park assist off'. in an attempt to evaluate I pulled the truck forward and the available steering reflected an inoperable power steering system. I backed into the spot again and shut the truck down. I started the truck and shut it down four or five more times with the same messages presented (although park assist stopped appearing) and only on the last time did the messages go away and power steering returned.

Silverado 1500

  • 2,300 miles
This truck is 2 months old and only has 2300 miles on it. On Sunday 12/27, the truck would not start. All dash panel and light indicator warnings came on including 4 wheel drive assist failure, brake system failure, tps failure, check engine, battery error, etc. After jump starting the battery, the truck turned on but the check engine light stayed on all day. On Monday 12/28, the truck did not start again however, this time, no indicator lights, dash panel or anything came on and I was also unable to even lock the truck. It was towed to the dealership and after 2 days they still have not found the problem with the truck although they have indicated there is a clear problem. The truck is still currently at the dealership.

My new 2020 Chevy Silverado trail boss truck burned down in my front yard. I had driven it that morning for a short duration and it was operating normal. I arrived home around 1:30pm, parked it and awoke to it fully engulfed in flames just before midnight. The truck had been parked for approximately 10 hours before it ignited.

The 2019-2021 Silverado's have a major safety issue with their rearview cameras at night time. The infotainment screen on these vehicles dims appropriately at nighttime to ensure safe viewing outside of the vehicle, however at nighttime with the infotainment screen dimmed, when shifting into reverse the screen goes to full brightness and makes visibility outside of the vehicle almost impossible on partially lit areas. This causes safety issues as you are not able to make use of your mirrors to see obstructions or obstacles. This is further magnified as the quality of the rear view camera at night is very poor, so the poor camera quality coupled with the inability to even use the vehicles mirrors to see outside causes safety issues. Many others have complained and documented this same issue and have raised concerns with GM and dealerships to no avail. This should be as simple as a software update to maintain screen brightness when shifting into reverse during nighttime or dark conditions.

This vehicle was delivered to me in late March 2020. New smyrna beach Chevrolet sold me two faulty vehicles. The first they took back and now this second vehicles back up camera works intermittently from day one. GM nor the dealer ship can locate the replacement part and this has been on-going for 3 months now. I do not feel safe driving a vehicle that has a faulty camera. I fear that as a result, bodily injury could result to someone else. GM has failed to give me an eta on the part, failed to put me in a loaner vehicle, and failed to resolve the problem by offering adequate trade assistance to get me into a working vehicle.

When driving vehicle (ours does not have the stop start technology); however when idling low or coming to a stop the vehicle will jerk then die. The motor will completely shut off; stalling, the only way to restart is to put the vehicle in neutral or park and turn ignition again. The motor shuts off entirely user is unable to drive; presents a huge safety issue. Pushing gas petal does not work even if it did have the stop start technology.
