I am filing this complaint regarding my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd, which has approximately 20,000 miles and has been babied since new. The truck is maintained meticulously and the undercarriage is washed weekly. The brake failures I have experienced are completely unacceptable for a truck with this mileage and maintenance history. Both the front and rear brake friction material has completely delaminated from the brake components. This is not normal brake wear. The material has separated from the underlying metal, which I believe is a serious material/manufacturing-quality issue. The dealer is now reporting that the rear emergency/parking brake shoes are also defective and require replacement. These components are inside the rear rotor and are not visible during a normal inspection. I strongly dispute any suggestion that this is simply corrosion or abuse. This truck is babied, maintained properly, and the undercarriage is washed every week specifically to prevent buildup and corrosion. At only 20,000 miles, having the front brakes, rear brakes, and parking-brake shoes fail is completely unacceptable. The brake failures are also part of a disturbing pattern of component failures on this truck. The a/c compressor failed, leaving me without reliable air conditioning and resulting in a six-week wait for replacement during the middle of summer. Additionally, only five days after I purchased the truck brand new, it required replacement of the engine control module. This is a 2023 truck with only 20,000 miles. I expect normal wear items to wear normally—not to physically delaminate and fail. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether there is a systemic safety or manufacturing defect involving the brake materials/components used on these trucks. A brake component physically separating from its backing material is a serious safety concern and should not be dismissed as routine maintenance. Gm needs to be held accountable for the quality and safety of this.
My key refuses to come out of the ignition caused by a parking sensor is what chevy told me. I feel it is a safety hazard because I have to leave my truck idling and take the risk of the truck not registering it’s in park and moving on its.
I am unable to get the keys out of the ignition when shutting off the truck.
I was on a two lane driving down the road and getting up to speed. I was still about 45 miles per hour on my way up to 55 mph my vehicle started DE rating very fast as I’m driving and then my engine shut off. I had no control over my steering as I made a turn to get off the two-lane road because there was no shoulder. I had to turn the steering wheel really hard and was not able to control the vehicle at all because the engine shut down completely. Everything shut down. I was sticking out in the road. I have no clue yet. What caused it I had to get it towed to a dealership. I just thank god I wasn’t on an interstate but still I was on a two lane and had just topped over a small hill where nobody could see me when they topped the little hill. It could’ve been a very dangerous situation.
My vehicle says put in park when it’s already in park . My sons vehicle also does the same thing it’s a 1500 silverado.
The car pulls to the left while driving. The steering wheel turned to the left when I stopped. I have taken it to the dealer three times but the problem is not resolved.
When slowing down the vehicle and almost coming to complete stop the truck shutters when it shifts down. Also, if slowing down and almost coming to a stop and then accelerating the truck hesitates, and then shifts hard. The truck hesitating has caused a delay in clearing traffic while turning to exit the road.
