general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The stated that while the vehicle was parked, the tailgate opened independently, and the tailgate was manually closed. The contact stated that the next time after stepping out the vehicle, the tailgate opened independently. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started the tailgate was down, and the hazard light flashed. Most recently, the vehicle failed to start. The contact realized that the battery had failed to function as intended. The contact associated that the failure was a possible short circuit from the tailgate. The contact disconnected the battery. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the tailgate switch had failed and caused the battery to drain. The vehicle remained at the dealer pending the repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

Was taking an exit car felt like lose control and got hit with the sign pole on the exit. I have been complaining for the safety reasons and the location and other issues in car to onstar and chevy for months. Went to freeport chevy dealer and changed oil, when I bought the car pre-approved but the when I went for the service they said no oil was changed since the car was new. And I have been paying for all the warranty and extended service but they said all oil change and others will cost approx $3200. They changed the oil but I have been seeing on the chevy app filter was never changed and the car didn’t feel same after the service.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle vibrated and failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, the vehicle failed to exceed 40 mph. The contact was able to pull over into a rest area. The power tailgate and power windows failed to function as intended, and the vehicle failed to restart. The message low battery power was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact attempted to jumpstart the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where metal shavings were found in the oil pan and oil filter, which caused the engine to fail. The contact was informed that there was a hole in the radiator. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and paid for the engine replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that days after retrieving the vehicle, the radio became inoperable. The contact stated that while the turn signal was activated, there was no sound, and the light on the onstar button failed to illuminate as intended, and the WI-fi intermittently failed to operate as intended. Most recently, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the telematic module had failed. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

The telematics module on my car stopped working. It caused all of my warning tones to go out and are not audible. Furthermore the onstar system is not working. I have read a lot of post and it seems like the module is a high fail item and if it fails after the manufactures warranty then we are left with a pretty hefty bill just to get one of the safety features to work. Gm needs to fix this at their expense given the amount of modules that have failed in the past few years on newer vehicles.

The problem that happened on my truck was the telecommunication module went out at 45k miles. That controls several features on my truck such as compass, navigation, remote start from cell phone, clock and several others. The biggest problem is that a check engine light pops up and you cant use your key fob to remote start your truck since the check engine light is on. I took it to the gm dealer to get fixed and they had to replace the module. According to my service advisor this is a common problem and I am looking for a recall or more information into why it failed.

On Sunday October 12th, 2025, we were driving in grand rapids,mn when our truck (2002 silverado [xxx] ) suddenly lost power. We were on a main highway without shoulders. The truck would not restart. The truck would not shift out of park to be rolled/pushed off the road. After about an hour, a tow truck arrived and towed the truck to our home ($200). We connected the odb2 code reader and found code p129f. After a bit of research, this code is related to a failed fuel pump control module (gm 13544060). The module is superseded with gm 13554821. We found this fuel control model is the subject of a recall (n252516900) on various gm vehicles that share a similar body design and year to this truck with this exact module. A semi-local dealer had the replacement part (gm 13554821 - $60) and we were able to replace it Monday morning to bring the vehicle back into service. I am requesting the following - expand the recall to include any vehicles with this known-faulty fuel pump control module information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Megafuse on starter solenoid terminal of the buss bar has blown twice in a month, leaving a serious burn mark on buss bar where contact is made with fuse. Possible fire hazard inside engine bay on top of battery. This also keeps the vehicle from starting. 1 click, no start. Battery has full charge, jumping has no effect. Possible cause is ground wire short/fault between negative terminal and vehicle frame/body. No check engine light, no battery light, or any other indication of issue with starter or battery.

While driving the tailgate released on its own. The warning lamp came on after the tailgate released, however if I had items in the back they could have been thrown out onto the highway. Other VIN numbers with this tailgate has a recall but for some reason my VIN was not included.

Purchased vehicle in August of 2025 and there was an open recall for engine issues at that time. Took vehicle back to dealership in October or November for dealer to inspect. The vehicle passed the engine test and oil was changed to a heavier weight. From October/November 2025 I’ve been noting that there’s been a significant loss of engine oil prior to scheduled maintenance that requires anywhere between 4-5quart top off every three months or so. Feels like the vehicle is sluggish and has no “get-up”. Also, the auto emergency brake light/system keeps malfunctioning. Even after it’s been replaced several times the light comes back on and you’re not able to control the forward collision gauge.

Onstar telematic module. Paying monthly for a safety service that does not work. My truck has 20k miles on it and has been in the shop multiple times for issues that should not have been issues. No warnings, onstar module just stopped functioning. Known issue but, I have to spend more hours at my dealership and pay $150 diagnostics fee for them to tell me what onstar already confirmed. All safety features disabled, all satellite and wireless features disabled. Gm is now saying it will not be covered under warranty. Again, the truck has 20k miles and this is a major safety issue that is being paid for monthly and was a major factor in the decision to purchase this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet silverado ltd 1500. The contact stated that the tailgate was opening unintendedly while driving and while the vehicle was parked. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Issue: (1) was parking truck and as I placed the shifter into "r", it would not stay in "r" I could not engage reverse. After 3-4 times, I pulled straight forward and attempted to shift the vehicle into "r". It finally locked into "r" and I was able to back the truck up. I also experienced a hard shift when I had placed it into "d" to pull forward. Issue: (2) earlier that day, was as I was backing out of my driveway, I noticed my backup video, went out, and intermittently, came back on. At one point it displayed a circle with a triangle?.

The trailer brake controller goes off and on. A message in the truck reads trailer brakes off, trailer brakes on, check wiring. Repeats every 45 seconds or so. You never know when you have trailer brakes or not. Did not have trouble prior 3 years with a different truck? I saw 2022 trucks had a safety recall but my VIN was not included, which it should have. Very dangerous.

It stopped working and I turned it off and on it it worked next day stopped working and did the same thing its been doing it for about 5 months and it faild and dont work any more.

I was driving down the road at speed when the gauge cluster lost power and reset, the truck jerked violently. A couple days before the truck lost all electrical power (lost gauges, door locks, interior lights, door locks and ignition) while idling.

I have a 2022 chevy silverado and my wifi, onstar, gps mapping is not working.   I got the run around from the dealership and they told me to call onstar because my onstar and wifi it's not working.   turns out the telematic control module is defective and not working.   they want me to pay $450 for the part and $155 labor to fix this issue.   I have 54245 miles on my truck so it's not covered under the bumper to bumper yet this is a known issue with this part and chevy or onstar should cover the replacement.   I see all the complaints online and nothing being done.   how are people supposed to have confidence in the onstar program when they go to use it and it's broken? there's no indicator until it's just not working. The telematic control module (tcm) in a chevy silverado is the brain for connected services like onstar, gps, and remote diagnostics, collecting vehicle data (location, performance) via the obd-ii port and sending it to cloud.

The raido screen glitches randomly and wont let you use it. The engine has a bad shudder while driving. When the engine shudders the rpms go down. It has hard shift most of the time after sitting over night and starting driving in the morning. It has been doing these issues for at least 6 months.

I was driving on the interstate at speed when the dash cluster stopped responding. All gauges went to zero including rpms and speed. I was unable to determine if the engine was still running. The cluster was out for about 15 seconds and then began working again. By the time I had maneuvered to the side of the road, everything was normal again. The same failure happened a few days later.

Instar and telematics module faulty! click is 30 min behind, auto me time set will not work, manual time looses 1min a day. No onstar button, no google maps or compass. Others have had same issue- telematics module.

This truck is locking up momentarily, sometimes at high rates of speed on the interstate. It is very violent and jars the neck of my and my passengers. It leaves tire skid marks on the highway at high rates of speeds. It happens when I slow down or when the truck tries to shift gears. Turns out, gm has a recall for this exact issue, (n242454440) but my VIN is not included for some reason. The chevy dealer has confirmed this issue and is recommending a new transmission. This has been ongoing since July and I am on pins and needles every time I drive this vehicle. Can you please encourage gm to include my VIN in their recall: n242454440, holding me harmless for the repairs?.

2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 multiflex tailgate main tailgate unlock/open button has stopped working. The dealership (marine chevy jacksonville nc)stated that they have had to replace alot of them even on the 1500 series. They are now on back order with no expected availability date. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection. Requires the use of the key fob to unlock. I do not know why it has stopped working is it a wiring issue? if it is a wiring issue it should not go out on a vehicle that is less than 3 years old. Also could this cause other electrical issues.

I have a 22022 refresh Silverado 1500 high country with 12,500 miles that gets a "service transmission" warning and kills the engine leaving it in the traffic. When trying to restart the truck it just keeps flashing errors and can't be restarted for about half hour. This has happened twice to me so far. The codes recorded are in the attached file.

Electronic tailgate malfunction which drained the battery. Tailgate will open on its on with vehicle off but will not open with key fob or any buttons.

Key will no release from ignition after being placed in park.

When shut off and put in park it will not allow the truck to turn all they way off because it says it’s not in park. I’ve read that there has been several issues with this is the dealer charges anywhere between $900-$1500 to attempt to fix but people are saying it doesn’t. Also there is no dip stick to check transmission fluid. And apparently even ase certified mechanics can’t check the fluid levels.

Unknown the tailgate keeps opening on its own.

My tailgate started opening randomly for 2 consecutive days now. This happens while the vehicle is in park with the keys out of the ignition and also while driving down the road exposing items in the bed to possibly fall out and cause potential injury or death from accidents.

Loss of motor power due to engine loss. Electronics not functioning properly. Was in danger on an interstate when motor failed to work. I had no warning lights that anything was wrong with the vehicle. Engine failure was not detected until vehicle was towed to the dealership.

We have had several issues with our vehicle from early ownership, such as, (1) signal light goes from very fast blinking to working. We have taken it to the dealership and are told they cannot duplicate the issue. It seems to correct itself when you turn off the truck and turn it back on. (2) the digital screen about the steering wheel where all all your gauges are have gone completely black. I took it to the dealership and was told that they had to keep the truck until they could duplicate the issue, but again, turning off and then turning it back on seemed to help. Sometimes it works on the first restart, and others it takes a few times and longer times between restarts. (3) onstar has stopped communicating with my vehicle about a year, year and half in. (4) google maps has never worked. (5) remote starts works sometimes. (6) auto-shut off works sometimes. (7) air conditioner started having issues last summer. We have to turn off and on the vehicle or rev up the engine so that it will kick in. This works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. (7) esc and traction control lights came on, the truck starts shaking, and brakes locked. Truck had to be towed to nearest dealership. The truck only had 12k miles when this happened. (8) around the same mileage, an injector had to be replaced. (9) now at 52k miles, we have the esc, traction control, and check engine light again. Truck is shaking, feels like the gears are slipping when you press on gas, and has white smoke coming from the mufflers. These issues have been report to both local dealership and gm corporate office. These issues have left us stranded 300 miles from home and has left us without air conditioner in 3-digit weather when we had our grandbaby with us.

Electrical component failure in the tailgate handle causes the tailgate to come open at anytime during driving. Also the malfunction causes your battery to go dead.

Tailgate got water in it. Continues to open repeatedly, user cannot stop it. Same part is recalled on 2500 hd and 3500 hd models. However, Silverado 1500 models (with the same tailgate switch part) are not currently covered by recall. This results in dead battery, open tailgate on the road - and contents of bed spilling onto highway. Vehicle further stalls due to electrical draw, causing total loss of usage, including brakes, steering, etc. I have video of the tailgate triggering and opening on its own.

We were informed by dealer that there is a recall reguarding some software that needs to be updated to reduce the chance of battery drainage. The catch is they are trying to sell us a part for $567. 00 to be installed so they can update the software to fix the problem. (terry thompson chevy).

I was driving down the highway at 60 mph and a display warning came on the display monitor. It said shift into neutral and restart engine. Then the engine died and I had to try and get off the highway. There was a complete lose of power so getting off the highway was difficult without any power including steering. The engine would not restart and when to tow truck came about 2 hours later it still would not start or shift into neutral to be loaded. Eventually the tow driver got it to shift into neutral so he could loaded the truck. My safety was at risk because it was difficult to get off the road and had there been more traffic it could of resulted in a collision. I was in a dead area for phone service and I had to sit there for about 2 hours waiting for someone to stop and help me get to an area with cell service. The pickup was dropped off at the nearest gm dealership and they looked at it and the engine had a catastrophic failure. It requires a new engine, but since it is under warranty it may take up to 1 years for a replacement.

I have both key fobs with me in the vehicle and it will not start. I have a message on the dash stating” key fob not detected” I live in north dakota and the winters here reach temperature to -40. I find this issues to be very dangerous, potentially being stranded in the middle of nowhere and not being able to start your vehicle manually.

Two separate but related incidents: 1. Sudden complete loss of power on a busy highway interchange. I had to pull over in an unsafe merge point. The truck would not start and had to be towed to a dealership. The tow driver was eventually able to start the truck and load it on a flatbed. The dealership had the vehicle for 3-4 days and replaced the starter and a fuse. 2. Second incident happened approximately 24 hours after getting truck back from the first incident. Sudden loss of power coming up a large hill. Truck completely died and would not start again. Tow truck driver could not get the truck started and therefore could not get the truck in neutral. Tow truck driver had to drag the truck on to a flatbed and tow to a dealership. Dealership reported metal in the oil filter and requires complete engine replacement. The incident happened on December 16th, 2024.
