I was given a 2019 Chevy Silverado and when I turned the truck off the shift to park light would stay on and in February the brakes froze with the bad freeze when it thawed the brakes just started locking up by them selves I could not get over 5-6 mph so I made an app with dealership took it in told them what it was doing they had it a week they replaced shifter handle and bolt and reset codes I get the truck back did not have it 24 hrs I was leaving where I was fishing that morning I was going maybe 40 mph when the abs and other lights came on on dash and the brakes locked up again sending me sliding about 60 yards when I ended up in a ditch I tried to get out and the truck would not move so I get out and look to see my front passenger tire completely broke off folding up under truck. No one else was involved I automatically called dealership told them what happen filed a crash report and tow truck took truck back to dealership I contacted GM snd they sent an investigator to look at it but denied my claim said it was not a Manufactur defect.. so no one is wanting to fix my truck now it-??s still under warranty with less than 19000 miles on it... and if I was to pay out my pocket to fix it I feel that it will happen again cause the freeze did something to the electrical brake system.. the truck is a year and 4 mts old. Paid cash for it and not I can-??t even drive it..
Brake sensor went off, lights stayed on inside cab, radio screen and lights inside went out, tailgate went down while being driven and tools etc were lost. Radio came on and changed channels non stop for almost an hour even after shutting vehicle off 4 timea. After 8 hrs it was back to normal.

On 2/22, my vehicle had to be taken in to the dealership due to it not starting. My check engine light came on. The issue was supposedly a software issue. This issue has happened again and my vehicle is back at the dealership once again on 3/29. It was stated that GM will have to advise the tech on what to do for a permanent fix. This is a major inconvenience and disturbing. My vehicle would not start on 3 occasions because of this issue. The vehicle only has 11,800 miles on it.
3 issues with lcd display used for radio. Hands free devices and backup camera. !St issue is after being parked for several hours, the display may freeze on its last radio setting or may go completely dead. Car can be driven but there is no ability to use radio, hands free phone, maps from phone or back up camera. Only fix is to run the vehicle for at least five minutes, remove the key and open and close the door. After about a minute the instruments shut down. Opening and closing the door will reset the display and again it will function normally. 2 backup camera shuts off while backing up. 3 entire display shuts down and restarts while vehicle is moving. All these events happen after the vehicle has sat idle for multiple hours. Also within 5 minutes of starting to drive the car. These events have happened multiple times and getting more frequent.
Truck was purchased brand new. Since I first got it I've had problems with the backup camera flashing, going completely blank, and giving an error to service rear camera system. Always occurs while in reverse. Dealership has tried fixing issue several times and now states this safety issue is normal in their vehicles. 11/25/19 dealership replaced back up camera due to lines flashing through screen while backing up. Screen frequently went blank and would also give 'service rear vision system' error. 01/09/20 backup camera system continues to flash, go blank, and give error message. Dealership stated camera was tested and functioning as intended. 10/22/20 same issues persist with backup camera system. Dealership verified problem and replaced camera assembly on 12/14/20. 01/27/21 same problems persist. Dealership updated system and claimed not to be able to reproduce problem. While picking up vehicle flashing occurred before I even left the lot. Dealership requested I remove amp (installed long after problems started occurring; have documentation) before further diagnostics could be performed. 02/26/21 dealership said they checked other trucks in their lot which have the same issue. Says a voltage drop in the electrical system is what's causing the issue and stated there is no fix because this is a normal operation. 03/05/21 problems persist. Dealership built a new electrical harness and replaced radio system. Problem still continues. 03/09/21 talked to GM customer care. They state the safety issue with the backup camera flashing and going blank is 'operating as designed.' 03/11/21 customer care stated vehicle is performing properly and as expected even though back up camera system still having problems. Says there's nothing else they will do for me to fix the issue at this time.
The truck was parked in my home driveway Monday afternoon. It was locked. On Wednesday 2/24/21 our neighbor alerted my wife that there was smoke coming from the truck. We ran out there, but it was already heavily smoking and we could hear crackling and popping noises. Shortly after the truck was in flames. The fire department arrived, put out the flames. The fire marshal did an inspection and indicated it was likely an electrical fire near the tailgate/hitch/license plate.
While driving to school which is approx 70 miles from my house, I was approx 10 miles from my end location and had been driving for 1 hour and 15 minutes without issues. I was driving on I-70 at 75 mph when the truck completely shut down. The engine shut off, brakes went out, steering locked, all electrical shut off. The truck was dead for approx 4 seconds when it kicked back on on its own. The truck continued down the road like nothing had happened. The truck did the same thing about 3 miles after the first time the truck died. There were no more incidents during that trip. Later that same day I was pulling into kroger parking lot turning into a parking spot at about 5 mph when the truck completely shut down again. The truck was dead for approx 3-5 seconds each time with completely shutdown before completely restarting on its own and continuing like nothing happened.
Driving truck and noticed a jerk when accelerating on 1st and 2nd gear causing the vehicle to have a delayed acceleration could cause accidents in traffic. Also when shifting from reverse to drive the truck jerks violently as if the transmission can't engage or dropped and has the delayed issue forementioned the main screen on the vehicle keeps cycling turns on and off repeatedly causing distraction and makes the vehicle computer system unusable
1.drivetrain issue: At the 1st. Start of the day, when shifting into D (drive gear) ; upon accelerating, the trucks transmission drops off between 1st and 2nd gear as if it were pausing for 1-2 seconds, then truck surges forward issue started the day I drove off the lot. Thought it was truck just working out a glitch, but has always persisted. 2. electrical issue: Power mirrors; when power mirrors are folding inward mirrors do not close at the same time, started the day I drove off the lot. As time has passed it now has become an even larger issue, the power motor in mirror runs continually after it has been open or closed as well as mirror tilting when in reverse. Very distracting. 3. collision censor: Issue started within last 90 days; I can be driving down the road/ highway at any time with no other obstacles in my area, nothing around my truck on any of the four sides, truck will sound warning alarm as well as the display in the dash. I make sure all censors are all clean of any dirt-ice-snow, very troubling when driving as it makes one think there is on coming obstacles.
Back up camera becomes "fuzzy" when put in reverse in the dark. This happens every time in the dark when there no lights outside/environment. This is really dangerous because what if someone walks in the back of the truck, and I can't see them because of the "fussy" camera.

One week after buying the truck in October 2019 an engine light came on regarding the break system, too the truck in and in a few days I had it back after reprograming the computer. 27 Jan 2021 after leaving work the breaks felt strange but with no alert I went on home. Coming up to a traffic light I tried to stop the truck but had no breaks, I proceeded through another red light with no breaks pumping the break peddle I finally had a little break and got the truck pulled over. I turned off the truck and called the dealership with no answer. I called and had my wife to come pick me up, she arrived and we decided to try and start the truck and see if the breaks would hold. We did make it to the dealership and they have had the truck for two days with no real answer as to what is going on! I called seven times 28 Jan and finally had to go see what was going on all I got was we are working on it. Called three times Jan 29 with no reply and had to stop by and I they would tell me was that is was a module and coding issue. I asked for a loan vehicle and they said they would look into it and respond in the afternoon...we shall see very very frustrating.
Rear view camera on my 2019 Silverado wt goes in and out when in reverse. It puts several lines which creating a fuzzy view on the screen. The picture on the screen prevents a clear picture of what's going on. When the breaks are applied the image clears up and once the breaks are release the fuzzy image returns.according to the dealership GM is working to fix the problem but has not come up with a solution. After reading several forums several other customers are experiencing the same issue. My kids drive the vehicle and this is major concern
Display module goes dark, un-operative, extremely dangerous when using bluetooth during a call or using navigation setting while driving. Power windows unresponsive (not stopping at a particular level, going all the way down) while driving. Substandard windshield inside trim, foam coming off. * transmission fluid leak while parked. Truck has been in the dealership shop many times for repeated same issues, specially the display screen module, two weeks after purchase July 2019 to present- Dec 2020.
I have had truck now in 5 times for each and parking brake errors and still not fixed. This is a high safety concern for my wife and me and anyone else who rides or drives on roads with us !!! this truck needs the lemon law enacted especially on my truck if no one else wants it !! need out of this contract and get a safer vehicle to get around in, am a disabled vet and don't need more problems in my life or possibly of killing us or anyone else because of this vehicle!!!
From cold start and slowing down truck shifts erratically. Sometimes so violent when I try to accelerate from a stop the rpms rise..truck doesn't move right away..then its like something engages and it goes..making hard clunking noise..today my back tires actually peeled out and the rear end was hopping when it engaged.the issue is only when taking off..especially when first started up..yes I let it idle down 1st..and when stopping it is a shuddering/jerking stop..sometimes it feels like ive been hit.when these events take place I have no control of truck as it is lurching forward in fast jerky manner.
