general problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

Shift to park light comes on during shut off.

When attempting to park the truck and shut the engine off, a message appears on the dash stating that I should "shift to park". I have already made the shift to park but the system will not allow the electrical system to shut down. A loud beeping begins, door locks remain open and inoperable, the vehicle is then unsecurable and the ignition remains open/on which in time will run the battery down. Disconnection from the battery will stop the drain on the battery for this particular event but will not cure the problem nor erase data that has sometime worked on complex computer controlled devices. I refuse to allow my wife to take the vehicle to park at any location for fear of her safety to secure or lock the vehicle and, in the event she would have to vacate the vehicle it would increase the possibility of theft of the truck. Gm has recalled other makes of their products for the same problems which I understand was also reported to NHTSA and has also suffered litigation in the form of class action suits which was won by consumers in the states of tennessee and ohio. After consulting the dealership with the complaint, I was instructed that gm has not issued a recall for these trucks which experience the same problem as those they were required to recall and repair. The costs for such repair by the consumer is unreasonable and unwarranted by reasons that this is a manufacturing and certainly a safety problem for the consumer. Their disregard for safety and quality control has been demonstrated continually as research in this matter and other complaints of gm problems are and continue to be numerous. This vehicle is is out of the normal warranty range. However, just as the problem with the brakes that suddenly failed just after the warranty expired on this vehicle which was also a major safety problem, extensive testing of gm safety performance is not a priority but rather they ship it out the door to consumers and just see what happens. Thanks you for your time. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom o.

While driving without a trailer attached to the truck or anything plugged into the trailer plugs on the truck, the "service trailer brake system" continuosly flashes up on the dash and chimes even after mutiple "dismiss" attempts it still comes back.

I went to drive my truck and it would start but I got a “ service power steering no assist “, service rear vision camera, service trailer brake system. Then it wouldn’t start and got the “ lost communication with fuel pump control module, back up camera was flashing in and out and license plate lights would flash with turn signal on.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the ecu/power train failed/ yes the vehicle is available for inspection. The vehicle's check engine light & traction light came on & the dash displayed multiple warning messages including reduced engine power & service ecs. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I was traveling on the interstate at 65 mph in traffic in the far left passing lane. Engine power was reduced & I had to safely navigate the vehicle through traffic & multiple lanes to safely get the vehicle to the shoulder of the interstate & avoid causing any accidents. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, the problem was confirmed by my local Chevrolet dealer. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? it was inspected by my local Chevrolet dealer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no there was not. The issue was attributed to a known manufacturing flaw on my vehicle. The wiring harness to the ecu was chaffed caused by rubbing on the frame, ecu bracket and/or a arm which in turn caused the issue. Gm published a repair bulletin on this issue as well as the NHTSA.

The vehicle began knocking on the freeway and experienced a loss of power. It caused warning lights for the electronic traction control and parking break system to light up.

Truck goes into limp mode several times… fuses pop when it does. . It does it when I drive or hit any slight bump.

Key keeps getting stuck when I put it in park and turn off truck! it’s off and on park but it won’t release the key! this happens every day!.

Vehicle has been at dealership multiple times for the same issues and the cant figure it out. Constantly p303 codes. On highway doing 65-70 and truck starts to shutter and drop speed swerving down to about 40mph on highway in traffic. Have to pull to shoulder and restart vehicle.

Tailgate keeps coming down on its own while driving and parked.

Getting a shift to park message on dash screen also getting radio to be unresponsive (like the screen is frozen) also puts a message of no information detected.

When the engine turns on the esc light come up and start beeping. While driving the light goes off and later on while driving it appears that esc is off after 1-2 minutes its says esc is on again.

I noticed up on start up a warning light comes on & display says brake system failure 62 mph then goes away. I have been reading numerous other reviews online that they are experiencing the same issue. 2nd problem is when I bought the vehicle I noticed numerous oil spots on the tailgate, I asked a gm representative & they said it was road grime, but I noticed the rear pinon is leaking, so it's been leaking since I bought the truck & the dealership either doesn't know it's a known issue or they didn't want to come out & say it.

Backup camera comes on when brakes are applied. Very dangerous at night time while driving as bright backup camera displayed on screen hinders your vision to see the road.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz. 5. 3 ecotrac 8 transmission with 89,000 miles. I bought it used and have had it 12 months, but only drove it 9 before it malfunctioned causing severe electrical & mechanical problems. I was driving the truck when the epb, service engine, stabilitrac, ecbm warning lights came on, also driving over 43 miles an hour could cause a crash due brake failure this caused the emissions. Transmission, & throttle to shut down truck would not shift out of low gear. It would shift to park but did not recognize it was in park which kept the accessory on running down the battery, the tail gate would not open, and the information system shut down. I got sick and was in the hospital for 5 weeks, the truck was vandalized. The body repair shop took it to the Chevrolet dealership in long beach to have it inspected. I did not tell them the vehicle had malfunctioned, throwing code u0101 and another code. I wanted the dealer to find the problem, the truck had not been driven since it was parked from the malfunction. All they came back with was I had a burnt cylinder and would be 9000 to fix due to maintenance, we maintained this truck changing the oil every 3000 miles with castoroil synthetic oil, regularly checking and maintaining transmission, brake , all-fluids. Supposedly they ran a diagnostic, if they did they would have found these warnings and that main code u0101 would have showed up. When it happened onstar ran the diagnostic and told me to take it immediately to a dealership. That dash should have lit up like a christmas tree that’s how many light were going off. The dealership never said a thing about these lights. Now I’ve read where chevy had a problem with the epb and only put them on this model from 2019 to 2022 because of this. I found on other sites recalls that included what happened to my truck, but not in your web sight. There was major design and manufacturing flaw with this model and year. I’ve read complaints on this.

In 2024, I had the transmission replaced due it leaking transmission fluid. The transmission is sealed and there is no way to add fluid. This created an internal problem for the transmission. In January 2025, the engine made a loud pop noise and began performing horribly. My wife and I were on the interstate in a major city and surrounded by traffic. I drove it to the side of the interstate, immediately, and turned it off. I had to call someone to tow me back home(2 hours away) and my wife missed a very important doctor's appointment. Upon inspection, I found failed valve lifters, camshaft, pushrod and valve lifter tray. I managed to get everything replaced and the truck ran fine. March 2025, as I was driving on the highway, the truck stopped running. A message came on the dash screen saying, "shift to neutral and restart". I did and nothing happened. I had it towed to a shop. They told me it was a fuse block that was blown and the starter blew so they replaced them. It had struggled to start a couple of times and since I knew it had a new battery, a starter and fuse block made sense. I picked the truck up and in less than 24 hours, it happened again. It stopped running as I was driving and would not restart. The shop has checked gm tech forums and found where someone said to check if the motor would turn over manually. They have tried and failed. They, then, took the oil filter off and found metal shavings in the oil. Their diagnosis is that the engine bearing has seized and is causing the problems. My main issue is safety. My wife and I could have been seriously injured or killed and could have injured or killed someone else when the incident happened on the interstate. The same could've happened with just me in the vehicle or with our children. There were no warning lamps, messages or any symptoms whatsoever before January 2025 for the engine. The truck doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it and I have kept up all of the maintenance.

I bought a this car and the car started giving me issues, engine wasn’t working properly, brakes were not working well, they gave me problem even I thought maybe the need to be changed, the suspension was off in a way that I feel uncomfortable driving the car and besides that, has electrical problems sometimes the radio and the panel went off out of nowhere and the car just have 40,000 miles.

My dic showed a message of shift to park. This has prevented me from turning my truck off. I have been stranded on a couple of occasions until finally I was able to push the stop/start button to turn my truck off. Also has prevented me from locking my truck at times. The fact that I can't turn my truck is a real safety problem and also creates the possibility of it rolling down hill. Being stranded is the worst part and if I can't turn my truck off at some point the battery is going to go dead. There are several bulletins out on at least 5-6 gm cars with this problem - #19-na-206 and 04-00-89-053 from engineering. I finally to feel safe I had to go to my local chevy store and get it fixed costing me 563. 24 plus tax. I need to be reimbursed for this as gm has been aware of this problem since 2018.

Twice the vehicle has malfunction at high rates of speed no brakes no steering and almost caused serious injury to myself and young son the second occurrence I record the last 15 seconds safely to have proof of exactly the speed of disengaged control. For this very reason. Vehicle has been at dealership since 10/28 I’ve had to rent a car 1700. 00 and more than 30+ days no diagnostic or response to purchase this defective vehicle with number of same occurrence of brake electric emissions and transmission malfunction.

Wires were improperly installed during assembly, on truck and rubs on a frame which chafes, which causes the protective covering to get rubbed off causing a short circuit on my wiring harness which causes the "check engine light" to stay on constantly. This is a factory mistake yet they want to charge me for the fix. I also have come to know this is getting too common on chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC sierras. Gm needs to correct their factory defect for free. This chafing can happen in three different areas on the trucks. These shorted wires can cause failure of the fuel pumps and leave you on the road when the engine shuts down. Gm knows about these problems but has not acted on this problem. They never mentioned or noted the wiring problem on my repair summary, oct. 23, 24, when they were replacing the torque converter. They showed it to me, but never made note of it. They are going to work on it Monday 12/9/24, I will talk of, who's going to cover the cost of this after it's repaired.

Transmission problems in 8l90. Needs valve body. Torque convert and few others. Lost communication with power steering control module. Most control to body CO trol module. Rear right and left speed sensor correlation.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while at a complete stop, the auto start/stop function engaged, and the engine shut off as needed. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal to resume driving, the vehicle started rolling backward. The contact shifted to park(p), turned off and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated upon shifting to drive(d), the failure persisted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact stated while starting the vehicle the following day, the steering wheel seized. The check engine warning light, the traction control warning light, the parking warning light, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The messages "battery saver mode", "service charging system" and other unknown messages were displayed. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to tow the vehicle to their location for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

I own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 lt trail boss that exhibits strange and persistent issues. A recurring engine code appears p0499, clears itself, and then reappears without consistent resolution. This affects the remote starter as the engine light will be engaged. Additionally, several service warnings flash momentarily and disappear, including: •service trailer brake system •brake system failure – top speed limited to 62 or 43 mph •parking sensor unavailable these warnings occur without warning and vanish too quickly to document fully. Despite multiple visits to the dealership, technicians have been unable to replicate or resolve the problem. This unpredictable behavior creates safety concerns, particularly regarding brake system reliability and sensor functionality. I and many others experiencing these same issues are concerned about a potential electrical or sensor issue impacting vehicle performance and safety.

The electrical system: truck will make clicking noises after I turn it off and the keys are out of ignition. Radio won’t go off when it’s supposed to. I have fan on in my truck for the heat/ac and it blows out of the wrong vent or if I have dial on high there is nothing coming out. When I’m walking away from the truck it will start making noises. Head lights are dim inside lights are dim. I can smell gas in my truck. Transmission jerks no power at all driving up a hill. I had a 2006 chevy silverado. I fell in love with it the first time I seen it. She had a v8 vortex motor in it. I don’t know why a person would put come up with a v6 to pull an 8000 lb truck!!! it takes forever to speed up! I was told to save gas, I seriously don’t think so!!! I put transmissions and engines together for 15 years at Toyota. I have a lot of respect for the japanese people because they care about what they build. Chevy needs to hire some people from Toyota to help straighten them out. Can’t really give dates to many!.

I was driving in highway 85 going south 65 mph I had my grandkids in the backseat and my truck automatically baked by itself and that electrical system control light came on break tire minor needs service and my engine started knocking. I almost had an accident in the highway I had to disconnect my battery for my brakes to release.

Because of faulty ground strap, lost power steering and several other fault codes. Authorized gm dealer reported ground strap completely broke. My vehicle has a little over 26000 miles on odometer.

Hello, I purchased a 2019 Chevrolet trailboss lt from a Chevrolet dealership on April 23 2024. I noticed a few days later and after the first rain, the back window was leaking water inside. There is a service bulletin regarding this issue, I called general motors and was told that they recommend me getting this repaired at my expense. Ironically my mother whom was with me at the time of purchase was coughing on our way home from the dealership and said she’s very sensitive to black mold and felt the truck had mold somewhere in it. I do have pictures of large water stains on the headliner along with water running down the back window onto the carpet. I do not feel comfortable putting my family in this vehicle with possible black mold. At time of purchase, I mentioned to the sales lady that my mother suffers from a chronic lung infection and the leaking back window service bulletin was never disclosed with me. I feel that general motors should be held accountable to make these repairs at their expense due to black mold, water around electrical and seatbelts. Thank you for any help.

When I put the vehicle in reverse the camera goes fuzzy then cuts out completely. Then goes on/off repeatedly. Also having transmission issues, I put the vehicle in drive and doesn’t move until about 7 seconds after I let off the brake. Does a bad jerk! shifting issue throughout the whole time I’m driving! I talked to a guy about his truck that has the same issues I’m having and he said the dealer needs to change the transmission soon. Really concerns me bc I feel like one day it will leave me stranded and the truck only has 48,000 miles.

The rear electric sliding window sealant fails in the there trucks allowing for water to get into the cab at times soaking the headliner. When this happens it can cause possible mold in the headliner leading to possible harm to any child seated in a car seat in the back seat. This should be a recall and fix by gm on these vehicles but they currently do not cover the fix.

This 2019 silverado pickup truck lurched forward on 2 different occasions. The first time it lurched forward, it was in a parking lot and no damage was done to the truck or any other vehicle. The second time our 2019 silverado pickup truck lurched forward I was turning around at a farm. The truck hit a wooden building on the farm and did damage to it and our truck did damage the front end of the truck to the tune of $3,474. 00. If someone was in front of the truck, they would have been killed or seriously injured. We have been very careful with the truck ever since. We could pull it into our garage and it could lurch forward and go through the garage wall.

I have several issues going on with my vehicle. The transmission keeps shuddering and the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. I've documented over a dozen instances. It feels like you are going over rumble strips. Also the screen flickers bad making it difficult to see the backup camera. I have a dozen or more videos on this and the dealer says they can't reproduce the issue.

Truck stay without breaks in the freeway randomly and bunch of lights came on.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle lost significant motive power and displayed a message reading, "unable to accelerate above 25 mph. " after which, the vehicle indicated that the transmission was overheating. The check engine and abs warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the battery, requiring a replacement battery. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to technical service bulletin 20-na-149. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 170,000.

Service park brake and service esc lights are on, check engine on and motor making a knocking noise.

I started vehicle. Everything seemed fine. Drove 2 blocks and all eletricals started acting up. Lights flashing all warning lights went off. Service brakes, service parking brake, service ecm, etc. Motor started to bog down and major knocking from engine. Took to GMC dealership. They found issues with lifters and had to replace all lifters and camshaft. Also replaced faulty brake sensor. Get truck back and oil cooler hose or line came off and was leaking oil. 1 week after repairs. Take back to dealership for repairs. 2 weeks later went to start truck all electronics went haywire, lights flashing, all warning lights start going off again. Truck will not start. Let sit for 15 mins. Try starting and no electrical power at all. Truck will not shift out of park. Major issue. Sounds to be a common issue with 2019 trail boss. Only has 40,000 miles.
