general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

A leaf spring broke on rear suspension. Bought a gm leaf spring from a dealer and gm won’t cover only because an independent shop did work. Truck is a personal vehicle not used in hauling. In my opinion and because even dealer where I purchased vehicle said they had never seen this happen it is a defective part. Only reason for gm to not stand behind it was repair not done at dealer. Truck has 112000 mi.

The front upper control arm failed and the driver side wheel collapsed. There was no warning. Luckily I wasn’t pulling my RV camper down a mountain, it could have been catastrophic . I towed it to carson Chevrolet. They gave me an estimate of $6,000 + for repairs. They had no reasonable explanation.

My trucks leaf springs need to be replaced. I am not a mechanic so I do not know if my safety is at risk, but I do not like the way it sounds when driving. My dealership has confirmed the issue and carshield said they are unable to pay for the repairs because it is a "bulletin". It should be a recall since they have had multiple complaints. I was not notified of the issue on my chevy ap or the truck. I had to take it in for an oil change, so I had the guys look at the area the noise was coming from.

I was pulling out onto the road and heard a noise in the front and right after my upper ball joint snapped completely off folding the tire underneath the truck and smashing the whole front end. Very lucky I was not on the highway. Had truck towed into my shop where after examination part failed prematurely. My insurance paid for it all which was just short of $10,000 in damage minus my $500 deductible and the tow bill. Now I have lost my safe driving deduction because of this claim, which caused my insurance to skyrocket. There were no prior warning signs, and I have my vehicle serviced and inspected regularly at my service provider.

Ball joint broke on front passenger side 2 times at 62 mph. 1st incident occurred [xxx] at 71,699 miles. 2nd incident occurred [xxx] at 135,543 miles. Second incident caused $6,500 body damage & $2500 in towing fees. I told gm the truck was unsafe to drive, which they failed to help. Any other vehicle in my path would have caused a major accident involving injury or death. The ally warranty covers 150k miles. Dealer only covered mechanical repairs, not the body damage or any towing. All work has been serviced & inspected by the dealer: upstate Chevrolet in attica, NY 14011. No warnings or lights appeared.
