general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

While towing a camping trailer, the brakes for the trailer kept issuing a warning saying "connected" then "not connected - check trailer brake wiring". Then "trailer brake not connected". After a while the brake system stopped working entirely. The 30 amp fuse that controls the trailer braking system blows out. This fuse is not a common fuse and not available at some auto parts stores (not really convenient while towing away from home). Evidently there is a problem with the brake control module that is factory installed. The module does not like the charging system on the trailer battery. I have spent hundreds of dollars and many hours in different shops trying to trace down this problem. It is very unsafe to have the trailer brakes not work while driving. This faulty module needs to be recalled. Part # 23306694.

While I was driving down the interstate the audio went to maximum volume. This caused me to panic while driving 70 mph down a very busy interstate because the music was blasting very loudly. I was quickly trying to turn it down and would not work. The power and mute would not work. I had to grab my phone and switch over to apple music play a song and then pause it and just keep it paused the entire drive. This happened about 5-6 times in the past year. This is a very serious safety problem. It could easily cause a wreck from panic or dangerous to a newborn baby in the vehicle with speakers blaring as loud as it can possibly go. I have taken it to a dealership twice over it and was just told it’s an update. This is not something you should have to worry about for the life of a new vehicle or take in for an update every time this happens. Luckily nothing happened to me but could have ended very badly or for someone who gets startled easily and possibly damage your hearing.

The audio in the truck increased to maximum volume on its own- without user/driver input. The only way to reset the radio is to pull over, shut off the truck, and open the door. This is extremely hazardous and distracting while operating the vehicle. It is an urgent safety concern for the driver and all passengers, as well as other vehicles.

The inside silver trim pieces blind the driver and passenger when the sun reflects off them. The trim piece on the driver side reflects into the side view mirror, blinds the driver and does not allow you to see blind spots.

Still haven’t received any information on when the retrofit process will be completed.

The issue is two fold, first the seal on the rear spoiler is defective and causing water to leak into the cab. Second, the seal around the rear power sliding window is defective and is also leaking into the cab. My safety concern is the amount of black mold that could be trapped between the headliner and roof putting myself and family at grave risk.

I was driving on PA turnpike around denver, PA, at about 75 mph, I saw in my review mirror, what I first though was dust or smoke blowing around my truck bed. I slowed down 10-15 mph, a small flame was visible through the rear window, between cab and bed. I immediately pulled over, put in park , turned on flashers, grabbed my phone and wallet, got out of the vehicle. Opened the rear door grabbed one bag and saw flames over the cab. Flames were visibly getting larger between cab and and bed, flames were also exiting under bed and driver side rear wheel well. I walked up the turnpike about 100 feet and called 911. The truck became fully engulfed while on phone with 911. Picture labeled first picture was after 911 call, and about 5-min after stopping vehicle. Fire company showed up 15-min. Later but vehicle was already gone. Allstate ins. Has possession of truck. Truck had 25k miles and was purchased new January 2022. The truck has been maintained per manufactures specifications by faulkner Chevrolet in lancaster, PA. The truck had no damage ever, was never off-road, and there were no environmental issues to cause the fire. Only modifications to vehicle was a professionally sprayed in bed liner.

While driving the vehicle it will slow automatically as if there is something in front of the vehicle when there is nothing there. It has happened twice on the highway at highway speeds causing driver to take action. While driving the vehicle, the emergency brake automatically set itself while in drive. Electrical accessory issue with radio; cutting out and losing signal, unable to control volume of radio when driving or parked as radio gets extremely loud and cannot be turned down or off.

Purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 rst with the trailer brake controller installed from gm. Though when I got home and tried moving my trailer I made it roughly 2 miles before the driver information center notified me “trailer brakes disabled service required” followed by the trailer brakes no longer working.

The car has been running in remote start mode. Mode. The problem with this car is that even when I shut off the vehicle, the engine keeps running. Onstar was able to come in overnight to retrieve the truck and deliver it to the dealer. It's not safe to drive a truck in these conditions, but since my family and I were on the other side of town, we decided to slow down and head home. Note : the truck was full of gas this is a safety issue that must be addressed as people leave their trucks inside their homes while the truck is still on. It also increase the level of co2 inside the house hold . Another fact while the truck stayed on the air condition system also stayed on ( full power ) and I start smelling burned motor which I belive this would caused fire.

The integrated trailer brake system fails shortly after plugging in a trailer. I have tried both my travel trailer and flatbed trailer. Both have the same issue. This started in November 2022, the first time I tried to pull one of my trailers. The message on the driver information panel would say trailer braking system disabled. System needs repair. I can't pull any trailer with electric brakes at this time. I purchased the truck in October 2022. Took it to the dealership I bought it from. They where able to make the message appear. This is reference document pit5948a-gm. They say it is being worked on, but no resolution at this time. Not sure what I am suppose to do, as I would like to use my trailers.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The vehicle's dashboard displayed a warning that their was a failure with the trailer brake systems wiring. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that there was an integrated trailer brake system. The vehicle had not been repaired due to gm not having a fix for the already known failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,750.

Service trailer brake message with dtc c159c; upon attaching my RV trailer, the trailer connected to the integrated systems as expected. Went though light inspections. I adjusted trailer brake gain. Upon first drive the message: trailer brakes disabled service required. Took vehicle to dealership. They found #pit5948a from oct 6th, 2022 stating that engineers are aware of issue for all models using this integrated trailer brake. This is an urgent issue and critical for those pulling trailers with brakes. This is very dangerous to have trailer brakes disabled when pulling heavy trailers can can result in serious accidents and should be addressed immediately. I've also not seen any communications on this from gm.

High co2 in cab every time I start the truck due to exhaust leak.

From day one of purchasing this vehicle the trailer brake controller would stop working after a mile or so while towing either of my two trailers. I brought the truck back to the dealer to get this issue fixed and their service response was "we could not duplicate problem, it must be with your trailer". I have two 10k trailers and both have same issue with my truck. I then went to and utility trailer dealer to determine if a new/never used trailer on the lot would duplicate them problem, which it did, proving the issue is not with my trailers, it is with the truck. This issue is a true safety issue because the warning 'brakes disabled' does not show up until you start driving/pulling a trailer. The brake controller message comes up on front display (trailer brakes disabled service required) and this shuts off trailer brakes which is a true safe issue if the vehicle needs stop. I've researched this issue extensively and social media platforms have this same issue reported however to my dismay there are no active or open recalls. I need this fixed and I will continue to pursue and raise this issue as it's both dangerous and frustrating that I purchased a very expensive vehicle where I cannot use it as I need to.

Manufacturer and dealership cannot resolve active recalls because the vehicle does not have the part (sports bar with chimsl accessories high brake light) marked in the recall. Vehicle was ordered with the accessory on the window sticker but it did not fit properly and due to this was removed from the truck. Dealership refuses to resolve the recall even though the part does not exist on the truck.

I bought the high country one year ago, signed a paper "we owe you" computer chip for front and rear bumper sensors. They said "should be in by July '22. I have checked with service and sales, no answers and no help. How do I get the sensors ?.
