general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

Traveling on interstate highway at 70 mph when the truck engine went to idle and transmission tried to go into park. The dash just flashes "service transmission" and and other warnings. Engine still runs but can't shift out of park. Shifter is not responding to move the truck. Engine can't come off idle. Turn off engine. Power button will turn power on or off but won't crank engine. 4 ways flash for awhile with dash flashing then everything go blank. All electric power is lost for awhile and then dash starts flashing and 4 ways start flashing for awhile. This cycle keeps repeating. Truck has to be loaded on a truck to tow away. This is the 3rd time is has done this problem but at lower speeds before. Dealer can't find the problem yet.

The stereo/infotainment system in my truck attempted to do an over the air update at some point and it failed. Now it is stuck on a screen telling me that I have to take it to a dealership to get it fixed. I did so and there saying that I need a whole new stereo. Just wondering how this isn’t covered by Chevrolet when it’s such a known problem with these stereos. Also while all this is going on and the stereo is stuck on this screen it doesn’t allow any of the infotainment lights to be dimmed and while driving at night this is very dangerous to the driver and others as you cannot see as well with the infotainment system lights brightly shining in the drivers face while driving.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle lost automotive power. The message "shift to neutral and restart" was displayed. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure progressed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer and remained at the dealer for additional diagnostic tests. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that prior to the failure, while hauling a trailer, the message "reduced power" was momentarily displayed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

Engine abruptly lost power in middle of high speed lane. I did not have enough momentum to make it to safety, totally on the shoulder, transmission locked up, couldn’t move vehicle to safety, extremely dangerous situation!!!.

While traveling in bumper to bumper highway traffic in my 2022 Chevrolet silverado rst, I attempted to accelerate and the vehicle suddenly malfunctioned. I experienced sever loss/restriction of propulsion and the vehicle would not respond normally to accelerator input. I was able to maneuver toward the shoulder of the road while avoiding a major multi-car pile up involving innocent motorists. When I attempted to stop, I did not have normal braking ability and was unable to stop in the manner I expected. I had to use the shoulder of the highway to slow the truck down until I could come to a complete stop. This created an immediate risk of serious or fatal collision on the highway, and as I maneuvered the truck out of traffic to the side of the road. Had I been unable to reach the shoulder of the road, I could have been struck by surrounding traffic. Had this failure occured un an urban area or at an intersection, near pedestrians, or at a school bus stop- I could have seriously injured or killed people or myself. After I was able to come to a complete stop. I shut it off and turned it back on, then the truck read there was no gas left (I had a 1/2 tank). This incident is not isolated electronic glitch, I have experienced electrical malfunctions including the truck failing to start, unlocking, responding at all. This all occured after an engine replacement due to a recall. I am concerned that there are unresolved electrical and power-distribution, communication-network, propulsion or braking issues that presents a serious safety risk to myself and others. My concern is that if this malfunction occurred on my drive to work in the city, around pedestrians- it could have resulted in multiple fatalities.

This vehicle suffers from parasitic electrical drain. Is the car sits for a few days, it draws power down from the battery, which then causes the collision detection system to stop functioning.

The digital dashboard display began to flicker. Off more so than on making the dash unreadable. No speedometer, no fuel gauge, no gauges of any kind. When you received an audible notification from the vehicle, you had no way to see the message. As far as any vehicular information, you were not able to see anything.

I am having the same issue as the gm safety recall n232426400 - where it says it is a common issue in 2020-2024 chevy 1500's (which my truck is a 2022 chevy). Where the tailgate will drop by itself. I looked into this recall and my truck is not included. However, it just rained heavy and now my truck's tailgate is dropping on it's own. This is a safety risk due to loading the truck bed and having it open on its own without me knowing resulting in items falling out of my truck onto the roadway. Another thing is my lane keeping assist is no longer working.

On June 7th, 2026, I pulled into my driveway, and put the truck in park (did not set the parking brake, but left it running). I walked, approximately 25 feet up my driveway, towards my garage, to retrieve my garbage can, to bring it to the road. About the time I got to my garbage can, my truck proceded to roll towards me, as I walked back towards the road. I then noticed it rolling, let go of my garbage can, ran to the truck, jumped in it, hit the brakes, and I had to shift the truck back in gear, then back in park. By that time, it had already struck the support pole to my temporary car port, destroyed it, and caused a small amount of damage to the front fender of my truck (small dent, and some scratches in the front plastic). I know I did not leave it in drive, as I had to shift it into gear, then back into park, as well as the fact, that it stayed still, as I walked normally, 25 feet up the driveway. I tested the truck, after the fact. It starts rolling immediately after taking your foot off the brake, from the same spot. On a side note, my truck had just received an update download, 2 days prior to the incident. There were no warning lights. Luckily, my safety, was the only one at risk. I have not had it inspected, and it has not happened again, since. I did contact general motors, immediately, but got no response to my email. I do have a short security video, starting when I retrieved my garbage can, to the moment the truck struck the pole.

The vehicle experiences a recurring electronic and sensor failure where critical advanced safety systems completely shut down while driving. The dashboard displays active failures for the front collision detection system, automatic headlights, and lane keeping assistance. These sudden defects directly compromise the vehicle's crash avoidance features, nighttime visibility, and lane safety, creating a severe driving hazard. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Chevrolet dealership for this exact safety issue more than 10 times. Most recently, all safety lights turned back on less than half a mile after exiting the dealership following an alleged repair. The authorized service center has been completely unable to properly diagnose or permanently fix these safety systems, leaving an unsafe vehicle on the road.

The power-unlatching tailgate drops open unexpectedly. Opened on freeway at 75mph. Known saftey recall however my VIN isn't listed as an affected vehicle.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph on interstate 10, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over; however, the vehicle failed to restart. A battery warning message and a no-start message were displayed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine was locked due to bearing failure. The engine was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via phone call and written letter, and the contact was provided with service points. The failure mileage was approximately 53,874.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, several unknown warning lights were flashing. There was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the vehicle before the tailgate opened independently. The contact stated that while attempting to close the tailgate, the tailgate failed to latch securely. The contact stated that the vehicle was unoccupied and turned off when the failure occurred. The dealer was made aware of the failure, and the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall related to the failure. The contact stated that the failure was a persistent failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The rear park assist will randomly turn itself off. It happens while just driving down the road and also at times when backing up. This has been an ongoing issue since I took the truck in to get the chips installed for it to work.

The micro switch that tells the truck that it is in park is not working. So when the truck is put in park the display says vehicle not in park and dings. This started at only 48,000 miles intermittently but is doing so constantly now at 53,500 miles and I’m having to buy a part to replace it.

Telematics module failure. Causing loss of onstar, self driving feature, compass, navigation.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the tailgate unintendedly opened unintentionally while there were items stored in the trunk. Upon coming to a stop at the red light, another driver alerted the contact that the tailgate was open. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, and the tailgate was closed. The vehicle was driven to the residence and was parked and turned off; however, the contact became aware that the tailgate had opened while the vehicle was turned off. The contact disconnected the tailgate switch to prevent the battery from draining. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tailgate switch had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in gm campaign number: n232426400. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of 4wd capability and transmission communication while driving. The dealership diagnosed a defective battery ground cable. Gm has issued customer satisfaction program n252515590 for this exact issue, but they are refusing to cover my specific VIN despite the truck exhibiting the exact failure described. This defect causes the vehicle to lose critical powertrain functions, posing a safety risk on the road.

The tailgate is clicking continuously and dropping at random moments when I’m stationary as well as driving. It is draining the battery and leaving me stranded with zero power or resources for help.

While driving with my trailer my tailgate opened by itself and hit my trailer when backing up. There is a open recall for a faulty switch that may allow the tailgate to open unexpectedly. I called my dealer and said they could only replace the faulty switch and not my damaged tailgate. It was due to the faulty switch that led to my tailgate getting damaged. I believe this switch and my tailgate need to replaced.

6. 2l engine had complete loss of power while traveling down the highway. Vehicle began to drive rough snd dash suddenly said shift to neutral which I did. After shifting back to drive I had to coast to a shoulder and wait for a tow truck. During repairs vehicle was returned after 6 weeks and engine replacement. 24 hours after receiving vehicle I hit the push to start and vehicle was dead. Replaced battery and lights came one. Hit push to start and it killed all power. Towed back to dealer. They checked connections and tightened box on top of battery and returned vehicle. 72 hours later check engine light came on and vehicle went into limp mode. Drove it back to dealer. After a week they located chaffed wiring on the harness leading to transmission. Was told it is a common problem on the 6. 2l engines.

Component involved: visibility/backup device, electrical system, forward collision avoidance ?description of incident: the android 12-based infotainment system in this vehicle is suffering from a progressive hardware/software failure that creates a severe, multi-layered safety hazard. ?critical driver distraction: the system has become largely non-responsive, requiring me to repeatedly press on-screen buttons to perform basic functions. This forces me to divert my eyes and manual attention away from the road for periods far exceeding 2 seconds. This "visual-manual distraction" is a direct result of the system's inability to process commands, making safe operation impossible while attempting to use vehicle controls. ?visibility failure (fmvss 111): the failure impacts the digital rearview mirror and the safety camera feeds. These cameras frequently glitch, lag, or freeze, depriving me of necessary rear and surround visibility while moving. This is a violation of federal safety standards for rearview visibility. ?systemic electrical failure: this "slowly dying" system is also interfering with the vehicle's communication bus, causing the power door locks to malfunction. This creates an entrapment or security risk. ?I have reported these issues to general motors/onstar. Despite their awareness of these "electrical gremlins" and the existence of limited service updates (like program #n242435631), no permanent fix has been provided. This is a systemic safety defect that requires a mandatory recall to prevent accidents caused by driver distraction and visibility loss. The system needs updating to android 14. It is android 12 now. This is the fix. Gm want me to pay $250 for a hour for a macanic to update it. Gm was updating over the air, but it was causing the battery on the vehicle's to prematurely die under warranty. It was affecting their bottom line.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet silverado1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle in the driveway, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was jump-started, and the instrument panel was black. The contact was unable to see the speed, fuel gauge, and other important information. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with battery failure. The battery was replaced; however, the instrument panel was still black. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The mechanic informed the contact that when the vehicle was started, the battery charge immediately started to drain. The mechanic was contacted and reached out to the manufacturer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

The rear tailgate started opening when I opened my doors and also when driving down the road. I would pull up and tail gate was wide open. I was okay but thankfully nothing in the back came out and hit vehicles behind me. No warning lights and anything. Dealership said it’s a faulty tailgate switch. Which 800,000 vehicles were recalled but not mine. Even though it’s the same year as the recalled vehicles. Gm needs to be held accountable for all of them. This was a problem for 3 weeks. Constant dead batteries, jumping vehicle, closing tailgate and causing lights to go crazy. This is a definite safety concern. Had to wait a week to get into dealership for diagnosis. Than over a week for the parts.

The truck is jumpy during stops. I get a low voltage code but the battery is fine I had it checked out. Reduced acceleration has been activated and after I turn the truck off it is fine. The check engine light comes on and turns off on it's on sometimes same day. I know there is a recall on certain 2022 silverados but they told me this one wasn't on the recall. It did have one for the brake system they said.

Hi, I would like to report an issue with my vehicle. The transmmision has been experiencing problems, and the dashboard radio display has been flickering intermittently.

Am writing to formally request an investigation and potential recall regarding a serious and increasingly reported issue affecting certain Chevrolet trucks. Numerous owners have experienced a malfunction in which the vehicle fails to properly recognize that it has been placed in park. As a result, the truck may remain running and not fully shut off, even after the driver has exited the vehicle. This presents a concerning safety risk not only to the owner but also to others nearby. This issue is not isolated. A growing number of drivers have shared similar experiences across various social media platforms, demonstrating that this may be a widespread defect rather than individual mechanical failures. Many of these reports include videos and firsthand accounts showing trucks remaining on, displaying incorrect gear status, or failing to power down as expected. The consistency of these reports suggests a systemic problem that warrants immediate attention. The safety implications of this defect are significant. A vehicle that does not properly register being in park can increase the risk of unintended movement, potential rollaways, or prolonged engine operation. This could lead to property damage, injury, or worse, especially in residential or high-traffic areas. Additionally, a truck that remains running unattended raises concerns about theft and unnecessary emissions. Given the potential dangers and the volume of public complaints, I respectfully urge the NHTSA to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. If a defect is confirmed, I strongly encourage the issuance of a recall to ensure that affected vehicles are properly repaired. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important safety concern.

I was driving on the highway and there was a sudden drop in power and hesitation in the engine. I slowed down too quickly on a busy highway and almost got rear ended. I took it to the shop and found out I had to replace the engine due to the cam and lifters were bad. It cost $12,000 to replace a four year engine with 148,000 miles. The time before that this happened, I had to replace the engine wiring harness.

Truck went into limp mode. Would not shift. Stayed in one gear and would not back up. The truck basically downshifted from 8th to 2nd gear, causing me to lock up the brakes and almost lose control. Several warning lights on the dash. It's been at a transmission shop for over 3 weeks. They are having issues being able to get parts from gm. They are having problems fixing it. The blind spot lights will turn on for no reason. The lights opposite of the vehicle comes on. I've almost wrecked multiple times.

While driving my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 rst, the vehicle has lost power on two to three separate occasions. During these incidents, the truck experienced a sudden loss of engine power and electrical functionality while in motion. The vehicle either significantly reduced power or shut down unexpectedly, creating an immediate safety hazard. The failure appears to involve the electrical system and/or powertrain, as dashboard functions and vehicle response were affected at the same time as the loss of propulsion. In at least one incident, this occurred at driving speed, placing me and other motorists at risk of a collision due to the sudden loss of acceleration and reduced ability to maneuver safely. No prior warning lamps or messages consistently appeared before the failure. The incidents occurred without warning. The problem is intermittent and has happened more than once, increasing concern that the defect may worsen or result in a crash. This issue represents a serious safety risk because loss of power while driving can lead to loss of control, rear-end collisions, or inability to safely move out of traffic. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

A recurring malfunction occurs with the infotainment/radio and rear backup camera display. The rear backup camera view remains stuck on while driving forward in drive at speeds over 20 mph, including highway speeds. The system also cycles between screens (including switching to the camera view), and the infotainment freezes and becomes unresponsive (loss of screen/control). Audio playback and hands-free calls become staticky/distorted. These events create a serious driver distraction and safety risk while driving. This has occurred multiple times, including during long-distance driving, and has been significant enough that I have had to pull over to the side of the road multiple times. In multiple incidents, the system did not recover until I pulled a fuse to reset/shut down the system so I could continue driving safely. The unit remains powered on after the vehicle is turned off and exited. There is also a history of battery drain/no-start events requiring jump starts. No warning lights or warning messages are displayed before or during the failure; the system becomes unresponsive and behaves unpredictably. The problem is intermittent and has occurred multiple times over the life of the vehicle, including after a head unit replacement. Dealers have documented the concern on repair orders; during the most recent visit the dealer noted no diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs) stored.

The tailgate on the truck popped open without being triggered to. This continued to happen like every 5-10 seconds. It drained the battery and was a hazard as I drive down the road.

1)the truck experiences an intermittent but complete failure of the crankshaft position (ckp) sensor circuit and multiple chaffing points of the vehicle wiring harness. This issue is a documented manufacturing and electrical defect covered under general motors technical service bulletin (TSB) #24-na-012. Yes, the truck is available for inspection. 2)this issue has happened to me on five occasions where I was traveling over 50 mph and the vehicle violently jerked with my wife and children in the truck with me. This defect poses an immediate, severe safety hazard due to unpredictable, sudden engine/transmission jerk while operating at highway speeds. My main priority is my family! this failure compromises my ability to safely maneuver, accelerate, or steer the heavy-duty vehicle out of active lanes of traffic, dramatically increasing the risk of a high-speed rear-end collision or crash. 3) the problem has been reproduced by rick hendrick Chevrolet norfolk and r. K. Chevrolet virginia beach. There are service invoices confirming these reproducible jerks and subsequent engine codes thrown. 4) no, I brought this up to general motors as a safety issue but they have brushed off my concerns. 5) the second time I had the violent jerk I had a message appear on my dtc that stated "174 mi until 65 mph max speed and service emission system see owner's manual" that was on 2/21/2026. Extra note: the vehicle sat disabled at a dealership service center for 21 cumulative days during the initial attempt to repair this specific defect under TSB #24-na-012. Merely 58 days after the repair, the identical crankshaft position sensor circuit/wiring failure reoccurred while driving, resulting in secondary engine failure and requiring a visit to an independent service facility for diagnostic verification and wiring replacement. Internal vehicle history confirms that prior to my truck ownership the crankshaft position sensor was replaced in December 2025 weeks before I purchased the truck.

Onstar telematics module went out and took away my way to call in a car problems and if stolen wont be able to find and the forward collision don't work my high beam turn on and off by themselves and don't have there wifi or severs without it or emergency button.

When I shift the transmission into park. , turn off the ignition, there is an error message - shift into park. Even though I shifted into park, the power stays on, ie stereo, lights, hvac etc. This is putting a strand on the battery, and computer systems. I now have a list of bcm codes - no communications. Dealer says it will take 2-3 days w/appointment all the vehicles (volt & bolt have national recall for the same problem) it is a shifter micro switch the whole shifter assembly needs to be replaced. As I leave the truck, the warning beeper keeps blaring. I'm afraid someone could steal the truck.
