general problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

I had known transmission problems resulting in $5974 repairs. I consider this an extreme safety issue. Had the transmission failed in heavy traffic, it would present a dangerous situation for both me and others near me. This is a known issue by gm, nothing is being done to correct this problem.

Back up camera fails, and a collision follows. The camera keeps flickering and going black all the time. I ask the dealer and was told that if the factory warranty expired, nothing they can do. Also the infotainment system is failing, turn off then on, or freeze if temperature is cold. Same answer from dealer.

The rear windows leak because of a faulty window seal. This is a widespread issue that some people don’t even notice until truck is out of warranty and dealers want $700-$1000 to fix. The issues causes water to enter the cab, mine had water going into seatbelt areas that could damage mechanisms inside and cause seatbelts to not operate properly in a crash. As well as cause mold and other issues inside the cab. The company knows of the issue and has made a bulletin for how to fix. This needs to be a recall as it is affecting most trucks. Customers should not have to pay for this fix. This is a factory defect in materials used. Whatever they used to seal the window, cracks and alloys water in. I don’t know how long this has been leaking but probably well before warranty ran out I just now noticed it because truck usually stayed dry. Only noticed because the headliner was wet and water was dripping from seatbelt area. I only have 26000 miles on a 2019.

The touch screen controller is constantly going haywire. It’s very distracting while operating the vehicle. The screen will switch from maps that you are following by itself to the radio, home page or just freeze. The radio can’t be controlled, the WI-fi and satellite systems switch on and off at random. There’s many complaints listed on the internet about the issue. Gm wants $675 to replace the system on a 4 year old vehicle.

2019 chevy silverado rst turbo. 46k miles. Truck would feel like it skipped a gear a few times for a few months; I chalked it up to needing a new air filter. Had that and the oil changed. Ran normal for about 3 weeks. Check engine light came on and began flashing, service esc and service parking brake lights came on. Truck would vibrate while at an idle. Truck would not get up and go and when it go to 30mph, it would violently shake and stutter. Changed the 4 spark plugs, with number 4 being the worst, then 1, then 2 and 3. Mind you, the truck only has 46k miles. Got them replaced, removed the negative battery terminal to reset the codes and now the heat isn't working.

Changed my oil and filter and notice a oil leak from under my radiator area. Investigated and found that the oil cooler lines was leaking from crimp joints. Contacted gm and local dealer and they would not make repairs without charging me for the repair and service, told me that my vehicle was not included in the customer satisfaction program number n212326940 and that my truck was out of warranty at 36000 miles. Current miles 38700, I believe that this was leaking at or around 35000 miles but was in between oil changes. Didn't find it until I did a oil change.

Parked in parking on an attempt to crank and leave the power steering would not turn the vehicle and a message appeared stating power steering needs immediate attention and the anti skid light appeared as well as abs message. These messages may not be exact but my concern is if I attempt to drive and the power assist goes out and I cannot control my vehicle. I will say that I went back to where the vehicle was left parked attempt to drive after sitting 1-2 hours and the messages were gone and the power steering had returned.

This truck has about 35,000 miles on it and the frame is rusted severely. Doesn’t feel safe to drive. Have to because it’s my only vehicle.

Started truck had several warnings for service esc, traction control, service 4wheel drive and parking brake would not release.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 used to tow a dual axle boat trailer. The trailer manufacturer was trailstar International inc, model: tracker marine. The contact stated that the rear wheel bearings exploded and fractured the hub housing. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving approximately 65 mph. The contact was able to drive the trailer safely to his residence. The contact stated there was a recall for the failure that was experienced; however, for another year trailer. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Water leak on rear windshield creating damage on floor and headliner my safety is at risk because there are electrical cables on top of the head liner that can create a fire if get wet also the bad smell I notify Chevrolet gm and the dealership all the silverado 2019 with the rear sliding window leak water and this is a factory problem they should recall my warranty expired last month they dont want to fix the issue and I have to spend money and time to fix something they build wrong.

Manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner.

1) temperature outside 25 degrees f 2) used remote start to warm up the truck 3) truck ran for 5-8 mins 4) after getting in the truck when I closed the driver side door the full rear window glass completely shattered and blew out. My understanding is that this was an issue in the past as per TSB 14815b and seems to be a known issue that others have experienced as I saw when researching the safety issue on the internet.

It’s been draining the battery every couple of days,sometimes the screen won’t turn off it just stays on but black it won’t even play the radio the tailgate won’t open most of the time the dashboard is been over heating it gets extremely hot I tough it was just texas weather but on winter days was hotter than normal when I put it in park it won’t it keeps beeping and showing a message to put packing on sometimes you can hear a very thin noise coming from the dashboard . . Transmission vibrates over 50-60 mph.

1st time I was idling for 30+ minutes, truck was also making strange knocking noises, pulled on to a major highway and rear end locked up, cars were slamming on brakes, almost got killed. Took to shop left for 2 weeks, they said they could find no issues. I assumed they fixed problem, because there was no knocking any more. 3 weeks later, was idling for about 45minutes, pulled into traffic, dark, raining, rear en locked up. Almost got killed a second time. Took in for service and left truck. This needs to be investigated before someone gets killed!.

In November of 2021, there was a water leak found inside the truck, on the passenger side rear cab. Chevy repaired in accordance with gm bulletin # 18-na-383. After six month, leak came back. They replaced the rear window, in accordance with gm bulletin # 18-na-383. All work was done under warranty. Now after a month since last repair, the leak is back and worse then it was. Returned to chevy dealer and they want to replace both parts again. This time not under warranty. Further research of the internet, yielded thousands of people over many years having the same issue.

Not really a safety concern but the backup camera worked for about a year, then got foggy during wet weather and completely useless in winter here in anchorage, it was still foggy the following summer and then it went completely off and the following message appeared on the screen: service rear vision system. Of course it’s out of warranty now. I just think they should last more than a year or two in fact I’m still paying for my truck and a good feature that is really unimpressive. Thanks for your time.

Started to drive my truck this morning and it was driving very rough. Dashboard warning lights came on; service parking brake, service esc, check engine light, stability control light, parking brake on indicator. None of this was happening yesterday. It just happened this morning. This truck only has 7,100 miles on it.

Vehicle was parked and not running. I got into the vehicle and started it. I proceeded to put the vehicle in reverse and backed my truck up out of a parking spot. I then put the vehicle in drive. The vehicle started to go in reverse when I began to accelerate. I then put the vehicle back in park and then back into drive. The truck again started to go in reverse when in the drive position and I tried to accelerate and go forward. At this point the truck's check engine light came on. I put the truck in park, turned the vehicle off for a moment. I then turned the truck back on and again shifted it to drive and the truck went forward. We took the vehicle into the shop to have the codes run but a braking system code was the only thing that came up. The dealership said they will begin looking into it and the vehicle will be serviced soon. Safety concern: that if we were in a parking lot and placed our vehicle in drive and it actually goes in reverse, we could have harmed someone behind us or damaged someone's vehicle/home/etc. I also worry there may be other issues that arise that could pose a safety concern since we don't really know what is going on.

Start-stop system not working,.

Backup camera is so bright at night that I can not see my mirrors to use them. Backup camera gets lines on the screen. This happens where moving or sitting still.

When I hit the brakes while moving in reverse, my backup camera glitches or gives an error to service. This could prevent me from seeing something behind me while backing up. This has been a problem since purchasing. Chevy dealer looked at it but was unable to fix.

Pulled out of a construction site after a work day and the wheels on my truck locked up right in the middle of the road. If I was pulling into a highway, I would not be writing this right now. The truck was idling for about 2 hours before I pulled out into traffic. The way the wheels stopped, it felt like the parking brake is engaging when I drive. Maybe this is some kind of limp mode to prevent damage. If that is the case, it is a very dangerous fail-safe to implement on a vehicle that people depend on for work. I do not think it is a coincidence that this is the first silverado model with an electronic parking brake. Oh yah, and this just coincidentally happened 1000 miles after my bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. Also, gm customer service is just a call center in india. Don't bother calling them.

06/26/2020 I was involved in an accident where my brakes failed. I have had all previous recalls, and one of the recalls made the brake failure worse than the origional brake recalls. I was following at a safe distance when the car if ft of mr stopped quickly. I applied hard brake pressure(easily enough pressure to properly stop) but pressing hard the truck slowed down but at full hard push brake pedal my truck a chevy silverado 2020 just wouldnt stop correctly. There is a current recall for this issue I'm finding out now that it has happened to me. My truck has been taken into shop but I need to know my options and where to go from here. I've advised my insurance CO of this recall defect and have contacted my attorney to seek damages.

Forward automatic braking system has not ever worked since I purchased the truck. I was told that Chevrolet was aware of this and was going to issue a recall. I did receive a recall notice #n192275630. Toke it to the dealer and they performed this recall and 4 other recalls and one service bulletin. After receiving the truck back from the dealer I have had several instances where the forward collision alert system has warned me but still no automatic braking function. Contacted dealer and took it back to them they retested the system with no errors recorded. They said they don't now what to do since the recall involved a software update only and they can't test the software other than to confirm that it did get updated. Contacted chevy customer care and was told that only way to confirm the system was working was to crash the truck "that's their words". I am an automotive engineer and I know that's not true. I know the system is not working since the warning system is working but not applying the brakes. It appears the software update did not work on my truck.

After performing the latest recalls the check engine light illuminated with a p25a2 code. I did not notice any change in the vehicle handling or performance. After I took the vehicle to the dealership for service they told me that they couldn't find an error code, only the p25a2 code which is to illuminate the check engine light. I believe it was the brake system that triggered the light if I recall what the service technician told me correctly. Additionally, at idle speed, especially while turning the steering wheel the vehicle seems to lung forward at times creating the risk of a potential front end collision.

The transmission shifting from 1st to second gear has about a 5 second delay and then is a rough shift into 2nd. Only happens when the vehicle is cold from sitting for a long period like over night. After the one hard shift it doesnt do it the rest of the day. Done it since purchasing it in sept 2019. It's like it lags after you wake it up and hasn't had its coffee yet. Does not matter if I back down my driveway first and then into drive. The first shift of 1st to 2nd has a lag and its rough into 2nd.

I get into the vehicle while at my storage unit facility and within seconds turn the vehicle on by pressing the button on the dashboard. I immediately put the car in reverse. Three seconds after I am moving in reverse instrument panel starts flashing warning messages such as no speed over 62 mph, electronic brake systems something, service engine light came on and stayed on, and once again I was without brakes! I was not going fast, nor in traffic, but the fact remains I had no brakes, again! this issue was �fixed� two months earlier in another recall for the brakes. This is not the first time I lost the ability to brake, but this will be the last time. This vehicle needs to be recalled in its entirety, I mean taken off the streets. It's not just the drivers of the truck who are in danger, other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists are also in danger. A fatality is imminent but I ask the NHTSA how many fatalities before this dangerous vehicle is taken off the road? every safety device on this vehicle has been recalled: airbags, seatbelt, and brake systems. This vehicle is not safe. The number of people who have lost the ability to brake are far greater than what is reported here. Please don't expect gm to fix this issue when they don't even know the cause behind the problem to begin with! first it was onstar, now it is the company they hired to create their computerized brakes. Computers having so much control over vehicles, I'm learning, is not safe. Please contact me for more information. I'm more than happy to share my terrifying experiences with anyone who can help my fellow americans and myself!.

Rear back up camera quit working. The center monitor read "service rear view camera". Tried turning the motor off and on numerous times but still would not work. Parked the truck in the garage that night and when I tried it the next day it was working again. Called the dealer and informed them but was told they hadn't heard of the problem. Happened in a parking lot initially.

An intermittent electrical connection between the b+ battery cable and the alternator could cause the vehicle to stall. The intermittent connection could also lead to arcing, which could generate sufficient heat to damage surrounding material and increase the risk of a fire. Gm recall #: n192273510. The problem is even though they claimed they fix it. Record shows that the recall still incomplete. If the driver is unaware that esc and abs are not functioning, there may be increased risk of a crash. Gm recall #: n192268090 NHTSA recall 19v889 involved a software error that could cause the vehicle's esc and abs telltale lamps to fail to illuminate in certain circumstances. If a driver were unaware that esc and abs were not functioning, there may be increased risk of a crash. Gm recall #: n192268091. As I mentioned it, the record shows these recalls are incomplete. They gave me the truck back on 02/21/2020 after about a month they claimed they repaired it.

Backup camera so burry at night can't see or tell whats behind the truck. Never had one like this, dealership said there's they can do about it. A $50,000. 00 truck should have a working camera. This happens when in reverse.

Back window on truck is leaking water. Headliner is discolored and its very close to an airbag. I'm hoping its fixed before the water sets off the air bag accidentally. First dealer fix resulted in a bigger leak than original.

When backing the vehicle at night the camera screen is so bright it blinds the driver and chevy has no way of adjusting the screen brightness. As of 1-27-2020 Chevrolet is failing to address the problem and it will cause a accident.

Poor visibility with rear camera at night time when backing up and the brightness and reflection is blinding while trying to use side mirrors.

Back up camera system is too bright almost blinding at night and is poor quality. The bright screen make is difficult to see behind.
