38 Power Train problem of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 05/12/2025

When vehicle is placed in park the safety lock will not allow the key to turn to the "off" position and be removed. The vehicle will not turn "off" any further than the accessory position. Sometimes after turning the steering wheel back and forth while working the ignition the key will release. If this does not work after a minute or so, sometimes you can start the truck and immediately turn it all the way off and get the key to release. If all of that fails the last option is to disconnect the battery. It is an intermittent issue that will happen 5 times a day for a week, and then will not replicate again for a week or two.

39 Power Train problem of the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 05/11/2025

Component/system: the allison 10?speed (10l1000) transmission valve body catastrophically failed on may?11,?2025, while driving Sunday afternoon down galveston seawall blvd. The truck abruptly dropped from 45?mph into limp mode in heavy traffic, forcing me to pull into the bike lane to avoid being rear?ended. The vehicle remains at classic Chevrolet (galveston,?TX) awaiting the oem valve body—which is on national backorder—and the complete transmission assembly is likewise unavailable. The failed valve body and transmission are available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: unexpected limp mode and gear lock?up in heavy traffic create an immediate risk of rear?end collisions or side impacts as surrounding drivers have no warning of sudden deceleration or loss of drive. Reproduction/confirmation: classic Chevrolet diagnosed and confirmed the failed valve body on may?12,?2025. Their service advisor and my assigned gm case agent (#70179205) have both acknowledged the defect but report no parts available for repair. Inspections: the vehicle has been inspected by classic Chevrolet under warranty. Gm customer care has reviewed my service orders and correspondence. No police or insurance inspections occurred, as no collision ensued—however, the roadside inspection at classic Chevrolet confirmed the mechanical failure. Warnings/symptoms: there were no prior warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before the failure. The valve body failure occurred without any advance indication.

41 Power Train problem of the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 05/08/2025

While driving to work one day I came to an intersection and stopped. When I went to accelerate to take off my truck shuttered and made a loud noise. The truck immediately went into "reduced power mode" with no warning. I could no longer drive the appropriate speed limit and had to constantly pull over to allow other vehicles to go by. This caused a traffic jam on narrow roads to get the vehicle to a safe spot. My truck only has 43,000 miles on it. The dealership confirmed that the truck has a bad valve body and needs to be replaced. The truck is currently sitting at the dealership and has been since may 15, 2025. As of today, July 18, 2025, gm still does not have an eta on when the part to fix my truck will ship out.

42 Power Train problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 05/06/2025

70,000 mile complete transmission failure despite being serviced on-time, as per the guidance. Failure happened while driving and it became dangerous to try to maintain highway speed. Quoted $8390 to replace by the local chevy dealership and quoted 4-6 weeks delivery for backordered parts. This is an unacceptable situation that gm and other manufacturers have artificially manufactured. They design everything to the bare minimum to save fractions of a cent per part, and then they intentionally make the parts unavailable and then the dealership pushes you to trade the broken vehicle in at a massive loss just so you can get back on the road in a newer, more expensive vehicle. This sort of behavior is causing immense financial harm to american families.

Failure Date: 05/05/2025

My truck has been having the "shift to park" warning for quite a while now. Truck has roughly 72000 miles. Before it would happen intermediately, now it happens all the time. Often I have to leave my truck unlocked for long periods of time due to this malfunction. Hoping my battery will still have power to restart the next time. Reading and researching this issue online, it is a known fact that this is a widespread problem and gm needs to step up and issue a recall.

My business work truck started not shifting properly. I dropped it off at mirak Chevrolet in arlington, MA on 4/29/25 and they diagnosed the vehicle needing a valve body part # 24065357. Gm/Chevrolet has been unable to source this part and was unable to provide an eta. I immediately contacted gm and my case # is 51184758. Then it was approved and escalated for a new transmission and same issue unable to source part and no eta. This is my business vehicle that has not been operable since 4/29 due to a manufacturer issue. No fault on my end. This is a brand new vehicle that should not have these type of issues. I have lost revenue, income, jobs, and I don't have a replacement vehicle. I have a loan on this vehicle that I am making payments towards but there is no end in sight. It has been a month with daily calls to gm for an update or for someone to call me back and nothing. I need my work truck back. This has caused extreme financial stress. I need help.

46 Power Train problem of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 04/26/2025

My truck had approximately 55,000 miles on it when the incident happened. I pulled out of a store and began going down the road and the rear wheels locked up slamming everything forward and the truck and leaving us almost rear ended. The truck was stuck in one gear after breaking the tires free with check engine lights flashing and the dash saying reduced power. It has since been at the dealership for 3 months waiting on a valve body with no end in sight. There is apparently a national back order on these faulty parts because of how common this high speed rear wheel lockup is so I am left without a vehicle or an end in sight.

Truck has less than. 30k miles on it. Went into limp mode, was less than a mile from home. Parked it had it towed to nearest dealer. They then informed me they have 4 other truck sitting and waiting for gm to fix parts with allison 10 speed transmission valve body. Dealer says it is at least 4 month wait to get my truck back. I work out of this truck for my business, and still have to pay my $1260 truck payment monthly for a truck that I can't use. Then they tell me they cant give me a loaner truck, only a car that I have to pay out of pocket daily for since chevy only covers $44 a day and cheapest rental is at $50 a day. I cant move trailers and equipment with a car. Gm knows there is a problem with these transmissions and won't do anything about it. I bought new thinking I'd be doing okay with extra warranty, but here we are with no real solution. Please help!!!.

59 Power Train problem of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 02/19/2025

While driving the truck it will have a hash upshift which has happened on five different occasions plus on two other occasions after first startup and drive the transmission will not shift out of third gear it will just wind up the rpm's as if transmission is stuck in third gear. I have to let off throttle then accelerate and back-off a couple of times to get transmission to shift out of third gear. The software upgrade is not a fix for this recall as it does not address the problem. The valve body installed in these ten speed transmission is a manufactures design flaw along with using inferior parts required for the safe operation of this vehicle. There are documented claims of the valve body failing causing catastrophic failure of the entire transmission and gm corporation will only cover the valve body. Gm has told it's customers that they will warranty the vb only that the other damages are not covered. The recall letter I receiver indicates that only the vb is covered. This is unacceptable. It is because of the vb failure that the transmission will suffered catastrophic failure, without a properly functioning vb the transmission cannot receive the lubrication it needs to function properly. I have not had the software update as their are reports of customers trucks going into limp mode shortly afterwards. Their trucks are then parked on dealer lots as parts are currently unavailable for weeks at a time in some cases months. These customers use these truck for their livelihood and they invested a large amount of money purchasing these trucks only to be told so sorry gm will not cover your claim even through it was our defective vb that destroyed your transmission. These trucks are not cheap to purchase nor to properly maintain.

In certain GMC and Chevrolet models 2019 to 2025 it is common knowledge and easily found on the web that there is a manufacturer defect that does not allow the vehicle to be placed in “park” properly due to defective parts in the steering column that do not allow the vehicle to safely turn off fully.

66 Power Train problem of the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 01/29/2025

The current recall for the defective transmission valve does not address the safety issue with the vehicle. This a known issue with the truck and the transmission valve should be replaced rather than simply monitoring it. My safety and the vehicles I share the road may be at risk if the software upgrade limits the drivability while pulling a trailer on interstate highways. The life span of this vehicle is well beyond the allotted 150,000 miles of coverage and to not extend this "special coverage" beyond the original owner makes this a safety hazard to future owners of the vehicle as wellupgrade . Gm is calling the software a "service correction" when in reality they are making no correction, just monitoring the problem.
