2021 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

Driving along a highway at 65mph and a lifter dropped or rocker arm failed catastrophically. Loud audible pops and bangs without warning no "warning lamps" lights or notifications at all. Towed it to dealership under their recommendation as opposed to driving it there. Also there's a clicking metallic jingle jangle in the driver side from unless 4wheel auto is engaged.

while stopped,engine running,in gear,foot on brake the truck lurched forward approx 2-3 feet. when i tried to pull forward the engine was revving a much higher rpm's. moved down road approx. 1-2 miles, tried to turn around to return to a dealer near by and truck would not go into reverse...on-star reported to get engine/transmission service soon. reported to dealer, they checked the (code)? truck continued to run well....till it happened again....now it has happened a third time dealer has ordered parts to try to correct. dealer is trying, but no one seems to know what to do...

My truck has had lifter issues twice now. Finally, a new engine had to be installed and I have recently began getting the check engine light along with sputtering sensation while the truck is on idle. Also, I purchased this truck, brand new, and I was without it for close to six months.

Upon starting the vehicle got a alert on the dash DIC of, "Reduced Steering Assist, Service Steering System", or something similar to that. The vehicle was very hard to steer so I shut it off and restarted it seeing if it would reset since its electric steering, but it did not reset and was still difficult to steer. I was able to drive it home carefully since I was close to my home. After I got home I opened the hood to look but saw nothing wrong. I restarted vehicle again and the steering was back to normal and power steering was restored. I am very concerned because if this happens during busy traffic it could result in loss of control and a crash.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that he noticed that the front driver’s side bumper filler was slightly detached and was wearing down the panel. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and was referred to an auto body shop. The contact took the vehicle to the body shop and had the front driver’s side bumper filler and bracket replaced. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled. Several unknown warning lights including the check engine warning light and the transmission warning light were illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to veer to the side of the road and turn off the vehicle. The contact stated that he restarted the vehicle, but the vehicle was shuddering and making abnormal sounds while driving. The vehicle was taken to the nearby dealer who diagnosed that it was a manufacturer’s error and that the engine and the gasket needed to be rebuilt. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they would replace the engine instead of buying back the vehicle. A case was opened. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

"no start" issue. Intermittent no start increased in it's frequency until it wouldn't back in July 2021, it had approx. 9600 miles on it. Had it towed to dealership. They could not recreate problem. I raised hell, and started reading that others had similar problem. A TSB came out that advised tech to install .5 shim. That seemed to have worked until recently late May 2022, have appt. with dealership again. They didn't do a scan the next day to pull a code since one might have shown up at that point. Most likely nothing there now. truck has been driven an additional 10K miles since initial problem and now shows 21400 miles. I can't have this problem every 10K, since soon this will be coming out of my pocket. and it needs a fix as others are having the same problem. GM has had well over a year to sort this out so I'm hoping if it isn't the cam sensor it's something else fairly straight forward. Heading in for service again on 6/15/2022 for same complaint.

On July 27, I encountered a failure of the rear vision display system on a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado. In short, the system used to display the rearview image went blank, and remained blank, the moment I first shifted the vehicle into reverse. Hence, no rearview image was visible while I was in the process of backing up the vehicle. I believe this may be a noncompliance with FMVSS 111 or a closely related safety defect (I worked in Safety Engineering at General Motors and Ford for a combined total of more than 30 years). I made a video to document this failure, and I uploaded it to YouTube. It is available at the following URL: https://youtu.be/zhBZwteAcBg This vehicle was provided to me as a loaner vehicle while my personal vehicle was being repaired by Quality Chevrolet in Escondido, California. Shortly after leaving the dealership, I pulled over to the side of the road and paired my cell phone with the vehicle. It took several attempts to successfully accomplish this. I then made a hands-free call and then proceeded to drive home. Within a couple miles, I decided to make a U-turn. Given the size of this vehicle, completing this U-turn required backing up. The moment I placed the transmission in reverse, the center display went blank and consequently no rearview image was displayed. Even after I shifted the transmission back to Drive, the center screen (which is also used to display other things like the radio station, time, temperature, etc.) continued to remain blank. However, the audio continued to function (noted at 1 minute and 15 seconds into the video). I decided to make a video to document the condition prior to turning off the ignition as my experience has been that such malfunctions are likely associated with software errors that can be difficult to track down and replicate. I drove this loaner vehicle several other times before returning it to the dealer. On each occasion, the rearview image displayed when the vehicle was put in Reverse.

The lifters in the truck are failing, a brand new truck 12,000 miles on it and the lifters have failed. Which is also leading to an oil problem. They are trying to only fox one bank of lifters instead of replacing both. Due to them wanting to wait until the fail. They have known about the problem and i bought the truck from them not knowing that the engine was a faulty engine. When you pay 70,000k for a truck you are expecting it to last a lot more than 6 months. Which is also causing the bent pushrods on the truck. I bought the truck brand new at the end of January, for the lifters to fail, valve springs, and for bent pushrods, I’m estimated to be out of my truck for the next 3/4 weeks which would bring it close to lemon law

Approx every 1,500 miles engine will crank for ~25 seconds and not start. This creates two safety problems 1) Defective part in engine could cause metal shavings in engine or some other form of part failure resulting in seized engine along with fire or accident. 2) Vehicle has start stop feature. Failure of vehicle to start at an intersection could result in a traffic accident. Vehicle was serviced at Chevrolet dealer where they stated vehicle could not be repaired without demonstration of the problem. Dealer did not inform me about, inspect or make repairs for two service bulletins that I found on the internet for the issue. One service bulletin is for a defective engine part. The camshaft target wheel could be bent and contacting the timing chain. The other dealer service bulletin is for a software update to correct a similar starting issue. For review, I uploaded the dealer service report along with both dealer service bulletins. I'd really like NHTSA to look into why GM is not informing vehicle owners about the software issue or the known defective engine part.

Upon returning home after a short drive I pulled into my garage and almost drove through the wall… I purchased parking assistance and it was not provided. The feature apparently failed and turned off at some point without clearly notifying the driver. I don’t know if it provided a silent notice that automatically dismissed but it certainly did not notify me when I really needed it… low speed. The park assist light is indeed off now when the vehicle starts. Clicking the button reports “Park Assist Off” even though it already appears off and is certainly not providing the intended safety feature. Clicking the button again does not turn the light back on but if clicked again it will again report it was disabled. This is strange and confusing for the driver. Using the infotainment screen one can toggle “Park Assist” off and the drivers info screen by the speedometer will finally say “park assist off”. Turning the feature back on in the infotainment screen actually turns the park assist button back on for about 5 seconds then it silently turns off and the driver is NOT warned that the system is not working. The driver is not properly warned of feature failure even though it appears the software knows it is not working. The little button goes out but the driver message screen does not warn the driver. This failure and poor awareness is a safety risk. Yes, we are unlikely to be parking super close to someone but we might indeed park near a GAS hot water heater or similar hazard in work trucks. The driver must know if safety features failure during driving. Otherwise they are potentially more hazardous than vehicles without them. Drivers will by design rely on these features and MUST be warned if the vehicle knows they have failed. I don’t love that the vehicle has already had a failure with only 1695 miles but this dangerous software concerns me more.

Truck started wobbling and the engine light, traction control light , and Peking brake light came on . Also It say service ESC. Truck is making a horrible noise underneath.

My best friends truck, a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado had a brake failure a July 2021. Was coming up to an intersection to make a left turn and went to press the brake pedal to slow down for the turn. Pedal went all the way to the floor and the truck wasn't slowing down much at all. Multiple brake system warnings and lights came on the dash along with the check engine light. It got towed to the dealership he bought it from. They replaced the brake system control module and said it's good to go. Maybe it is, maybe it's not. There have already been 2 recalls pertaining to this exact issue released, none of which applied to his truck according to the VIN recall checker on GM's website. If the problem has been figured out and fixed, then it wouldn't still be occuring. This is a MAJOR safety concern, one that I feel people need to be aware of. Which is why I'm sharing what happened to my friend's truck on behalf of him. This situation is exactly why the emergency brake on vehicles is an all mechanical system that allows the driver to quickly and directly be able to apply the vehicles brakes. It's a reliable and dependable system that's been implemented for over a century. This is a prime example of why vehicles still need to have one onboard. This vehicle doesn't have a real emergency brake. There was an emergency in which the vehicles primary brakes failed and weren't able to slow down the vehicle. The little "emergency brake" button was more worthless than the main brakes that failed to do their job on this truck with less than 5,000 miles on it because the emergency brake system on this truck has worked 0% of the time it was needed so far. This isn't some engine misfire, sunvisor defect, or Bluetooth pairing problem, this is an out of nowhere total brake system failure. This is not good. And people need to be made aware that the problem is still occurring, and on vehicle's that GM isn't aware that it may be applicable to according to the absence of any recalls per VIN.

Car Fire - Started at the rear of the cabin between the cabin rear window and the truck bed The fire engulfed directly around and inside the fuel tank. The car is available for inspection as far as im aware at the tow / salvage yard The safety of myself and any passengers were greatly put at risk. The fire engulfed the inside cabin within seconds, and caused a total loss on the car. The problem has not been identified elsewhere. However the almost exact scenario has occurred in the manufacturers other 2021 model vehicles on the Tahoe and Yukon, with recalls on file for both for incorrect seal around the fuel tank, causing fuel tank fires. The car manufacturer does not want to help at all, they are willing to deal with insurance company and that is it, who will just pay out the value of the car. The police and fire crew local to the incident have ran reports on the fire. No warning lamps occurred before or during the fire. The car was operating as normal until the large explosion. There was no accident, nothing was hit, witnesses described small embers / flames flying up from the truck bed right before the big explosion, indicating there was fuel spitting out and catching on fire.

Purchased new Chevrolet Silverado AT4 last week and with only 72 miles on the odometer a warning light appeared on instrument cluster stating “Service Brake Assist”. Returned to dealer where purchased with 91 miles on odometer 3 days later. Dealer service department confirmed a faulty brake control module and ordered replacement part. New brake control module will arrive in 4 days and will be installed at that time. In the meantime, service manager said vehicle is safe to drive with existing brake control module. This is being submitted because of previous significant vehicle recalls on record for the same issue in 2018-2020. It appears the problem or some iteration of the problem has not been corrected yet in the 2021 models.

Driver side front marker light bulb not working after 700mi. Not a big problem but annoying enough for a 2 week old, $49,000 truck.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving on a neighborhood road, after coming to a complete stop and attempting to accelerate, the transmission started slipping. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The contact stated that while driving and accelerating, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that there was no cause for the failure found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that a loud knocking sound was coming from the bottom of the vehicle while reversing. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the timing belt needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,500.

Transmission slipped then went limp at 35-40 mph. Truck would not accelerate at all. Had towed back to dealership.

Wife was headed to town when the truck started bucking and surging then leaving her stranded along side the road. NO MIL on until 5 mins after the bucking and surging started. called GM and basically said oh we will just fix it. Didn't care since we were able to start it back up and drive it home and then have it towed to the retailer next day. Truck has 6000 miles on the odometer. GM knows they have an issue as Service manager explained tech tips they have on this truck.

Vehicle door locks. The key from my 2016 Chevy will open my 2021 Chevy. It does not seem safe when you assume locking your doors would prevent someone from gaining access to your vehicle. How often do you go shopping, put your purchases in the vehicle and shop some more not knowing that someone can just unlock the doors and steal your valuables or wait in the backseat for you to return and harm you. What are the odds that I have a key from an older vehicle that unlocks my new truck doors and also how many other keys are out there that will do the same thing. At the very least GM should at least warn a buyer that just because you lock your doors that doesn't really mean anything. I am sure alot of people are not aware of this lack of safety. We have safety labels on cigarettes, liquor, guns drugs and so many other things but nothing about locking your car doors doesn't mean they are actually locked. I contacted the dealership where I bought it and they claimed they were not even aware of that until they checked further. Changing the locks will not help so it seems like there should be some option. Insurance companies won't want to pay for any theft.

Can't pull a trailer without the SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT coming on a dinging over and over. Had my trailer completely rewired only to find out its a malfunction on my truck not my trailer. My truck is a 2021 Silverado z71 trail boss with low mileage

The air bag light and service restraint message came up constantly, it seem like it would self clear, then come right back. Truck had only 250 miles on it when it started, it is still at the dealer waiting for parts. They told me it was because of corrosion (in a brand new truck)

Engine started to backfire/pop through the intake while driving. I had it towed to the dealership as it wasn't drive-able. They told me it was major engine failure, broken valve spring or bad lifter but won't be sure until the engine is torn down. I was driving on the interstate and the engine immediately started popping which slowed me down drastically. This was on an interstate road where there is a lot of traffic and it is higher speeds than regular roads. I was afraid of being hit from behind before I could pull of the road. The dealership confirmed it has major failure but have not inspected it yet. There was no symptoms/warnings or warning lights.

While driving down the interstate about 450 miles into my trip, my engine started missing and knocking. I pulled off on the next exit, about 2 miles, to call for a tow. The repair from the dealership states: "CS: CUSTOMER STATES STARTED KNOCKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. Caused by verified customer complaint- heard loud ticking/knocking noise coming from the left bank- removed [left bank] valve cover and cranked engine and found the cylinder #3 intake rocker arm wasn't moving. Upon disassembly found the #3 exhaust push rod bend."

I drove my truck to see how it felt. I immediately smelled antifreeze, but the temperature gauge read 210 which is normal. Upon accelerating up hill, I thought I felt a miss in the engine. When I arrived at the Clinton, TN dealership, the technician plugged in the code reader and it showed a misfire in the engine. I left the truck with them and they gave me a loaner.

faulty lifters, causing engine light on, and causing multiple missfires. 2021 5.3 v8 engine. GM has inspected engine and has no solutions, problem first appeared with only 343 miles on new truck.

BOUGHT THE TRUCK 2 WEEKS AGO AND PUT 500 MILES ON IT. UPON ENTERING I GOT AN ALERT ON THE DASH SAYING ESC POWER STEERING FAILURE, PARKING SENSOR FAILURE AND ABS FAILURE DRIVE WITH CAUTION. ALL THESE ALERTS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND BARELY TURNED ON. SURE ENOUGH I TRY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT AND THE PARKING SENSORS WERE OUT. I DIDN'T TRY THE BRAKES SINCE I WAS NOT MOVING AND PARKED.

GOT CEL CODE P25A2, C2A02, C2A03 3 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA (SUBURBAN CHEVY SANDY OR), SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. NOW THIS IS THE 3RD TIME AND THEY HAVE THE TRUCK FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG... TRUCK GETS THE CEL WHILE DRIVING.

PURCHASED NEW, WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS THE srs SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON THE INFO CENTER IN DASH AND WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON (RED) IT WOULD DO THIS FOR 15-30 SECONDS AND THEN "RESET" AND THEN LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. WAS INCONSISTENT BUT SCARED MY WIFE, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A HARD CODE IN THE SYSTEM AND MAY BE A BUG IN THE SYSTEM AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT...WELL A FEW MORE DAYS AFTER IT FINALLY SET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HARD CODE AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. FOUND OUT IF THE LIGHT COMES ON THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT ACTIVATED, NICE ONE GM. SO AFTER 3 DAYS THEY CHANGED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THEN FIND 3 HARD CODES FOR ENGINE MISFIRES. ALL BEFORE THE 1ST OIL CHANGE...COME ON MAN THIS IS 2021 SO WHILE ITS IN THE 2ND TIME THE GUY HAS TO ORDER THE PART THEY DENT THE DOOR AND SCRATCH THE PAINT AND NOW IT BACK FOR 2 MORE WEEKS FOR PAINT AND BODY AND INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ISSUES UPDATES POOR QUALITY AND HEADACHES. BUT WIFE STILL FEELS UNSAFE WITH THE AIR BAG FAILURE ISSUES.

Transmission lags between 1st & 2nd gear some times as long as 3 seconds making transfer case hit hard . I have had this truck at the dealer 2 are 3 times with this and other matters , the maintenance technician reports he can not reduplicate my grievance , this malfunction occurs more prominently in cold weather in morning on first take off . All so turn signal malfunction at random no particular pattern , Tech. all so unable to reduplicate .

I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ROAD BECAME BUMPY. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN PITCHING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I WAS DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THIS HAPPENED ON THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS ACTING LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. NOPE. IT'S REAL. THE TRUCK BOUNCES AND PITCHES HARD EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I EVEN DROVE BACK TO THE LOCATION WHERE IT HAPPENED ON THE FIRST DAY THAT I BOUGHT IT AND SURE ENOUGH THE VEHICLE ACTED THE SAME WAY. THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES AND BOUNCES VIOLANTLY WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS. I'M TALKING ABOUT EVERY THING. THE SECOND THING IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WARMS UP IT STARTS HUMMING LIKE AN ELECTRICAL TYPE OF HUM OR NOISE. THE HUMMING IS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND I CAN HEAR EVEN WHEN I'M STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE THAT I AM DRIVING IS DANGERIOUS AND SHOULDN'T BE ON THE ROAD. CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY DOESN'T MATTER IN MY CASE. THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

I discovered that the key to my 2016 chevy van unlocks the doors to my 2021 chevy silverado. I feel totally unsafe now when I leave anything of value locked in my pick-up. With auto thefts and break-ins at an all time high how can anyone ever feel safe locking valuables up in their vehicle.The Chevy dealership where I bought it first didn't believe me but later checked with Chevy and found out that Gm ran out of key codes so they started to reuse them. People in the business of stealing cars or stealing the contents probably can wander thru shopping malls or parking lots get in and out of cars without the owner aware of it. What are the odds that I would have a key that opens two different vehicles and how many other keys like that are out there?

Faulty lifters causing the truck to throw piston rods. This causes malfunction of the traction control, parking brake, transmission,auto locking rear differential. I have had my truck in the shop 3 times for the same issue all within the 1st 10,000 miles. This particular motor has been taken out of production. Upon speaking to mechanic managers at multiple GM dealerships they were not surprised and personally gave me advice on the lemon law. My truck, which is my 1st brand new vehicle, has been out of service now for a total of 45days. I have still made payments up to date. The dealership offers a car or small suv while repairs are being completed, not a truck! Beware of the 5.3litre ecotec3 v8 motor.

I JUST BOUGHT MY NEW SILVERADO YESTERDAY, AND WHEN I DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NIGHT I REALIZED THAT THE INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY STAYS EXTREMELY BRIGHT EVEN WHEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS DIM. THIS IS DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE MODEL I HAVE DOES NOT GIVEE AN OPTION TO ADJUST THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN SEPARATELY.

ON THURSDAY FEB 18TH IS WAS SNOWING WHEN I LEFT WORK, DROVE AROUND THE BELTWAY APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES GOING ON AVERAGE 30-40 MPH.NO ISSUES JUST BAD ROADS. RIGHT AFTER I LEFT THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED ON TO A MAIN ROAD, I WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE ON THAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE LANE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH WHEN MY NEW 2021 SILVERADO (5000 MILES) LOSS POWER. THE BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO ENGINE POWER. AS THE VEHICLE WAS COASTING ATTEMPTED TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD, BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT DUE TO THE SNOW COVERED ROADS AND SLUSH. ENDED UP IN A MERGE LANE STILL IN TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST HIT NUMEROUS TIMES. TRIED TO RESTART AND GET TO A SAFE LOCATION, BUT WHEN PUSHING THE START BUTTON THE SILVERADO WOULD CRANK EXTREMELY LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN FINAL CUTOUT. WAS ON THE PHONE WITH ON STAR WHERE THEY PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO NEVER SHOWED AND THEN LEFT ME A MESSAGE THEY WERE COMING OUT DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER. THANKS. AFTER TALKING WITH POLICE DISPATCH ON STAR SETUP A TOW TRUCK, BUT GAVE THEM THE WRONG ADDRESS WHICH WAS MORE THAN AN HOUR AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. ONCE BACK ON THE PHONE ON STAR STATED THEY HAD TO CALL THE SAME TOW TRUCK DRIVER/COMPANY WHICH OF COURSE HE WAS OVER AN HOUR AWAY. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED 3 HOURS AFTER MY TRUCK BROKE DOWN HE SAID HE WAS ORIGINALLY ONLY 10 MINUTES FROM MY LOCATION PRIOR TO ON STAR SENDING HIM TO THE WRONG LOCATION. WHAT A MESS. HAVE A LOANER CAR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TOLD A FUEL PUMP IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. ALSO THAT THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE VALVE SPRINGS WHICH IS ANOTHER ISSUE I THINK? HOPING TO KNOW MORE THIS WEEK.

I HIT A COUPLE OF PALM TREES AND AN OAK TREE AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF.. HUGE CONCERN DO I WANT TO BUY ANOTHER ONE?

THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), BRAKES, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ESC) MIGHT NOT ILLUMINATE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO NOT KNOW IF ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE INOPERABLE.*DT*DT

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. XM RADIO HAS NO SOUND AT ALL, OR AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE XM RADIO VULUME ON ITS OWN GOES SO LOW YOU CAN NOT HEAR IT AND THEN YOU CAN NOT TURN IT UP OR DOWN WITH THE VOLUME CONTROL ON THE DASH OR THE ONE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE ONE HAS TO TAKE THIER EYES OFF THE ROAD AND USE THIER PHONE IF IT IS PAIRED WITH THE SYSTEM OR TURN THE RADIO TO FM OR AM. AFTER DOING THIS THE VOLUME CONTROL WORKS ON XM. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I GOT THIS VEHILCE NOV 30,2020 UNTIL NOW ON AND OFF.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 50-55 MPH, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The vehicle decelerated to 35-40 MPH. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming a quart of oil per month. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed lifter. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

THE INITIAL CALL IN FOR SERVICE IT WAS TAKEN IN ON 12292020/MILEAGE 1020 FOR A OIL CHANGE AND A CLUNKING NOISE COMING BACK FROM THE REAR END AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE TURNING AND GOING OVER BUMPS AT ALL SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE NOISE AND ADVISED THAT THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY SUBMITTED A TICKET TO GM FOR THE NOISE. ON 03022021/MILEAGE 2797 THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK INTO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME NOISE BECAUSE ITS GETTING LOUDER. THE DEALER AGAIN SAID THAT THEY HEARD THE NOISE BUT CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. THEY ADVISED THAT THEY SUBMITTED ANOTHER TICKET WITH GM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM THEY CLOSED OUT THE TICKET ON 03102021 WITH NO ANSWER FROM GM. I HAVE ALSO CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE WITH ON 03102021, AND TOLD ME TO CALL THEM BACK BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TRY AND LET THE DEALER RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND THE DEALER IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM GM. THE DEALER DID ADVISE ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR 2020 CHEVY 1500 PICK UPS BUT NOTHING FOR 2021S SO THEY CAN DO NOTHING YET, THE SOUND SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT THE AXELS ARE GOING TO COME LOOSE OR THE SUSPENSION IS GOING TO DROP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FEARFUL THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO COME OFF OR THE SUSPENSION IS GOING TO DROP IF I ATTEMPT TO TOW SOMETHING. THUS CAUSING PAIN, INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF OR ANOTHER INNOCENT PARTY. I AM CONSIDERING TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY, BUT I FEEL THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE HEARING THIS NOISE ON THEIR 2021 CHEVY PICK UPS. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THIS TRUCK HAS NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS OF ANY TYPE AND IS ALL STOCK. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS. ALSO ATTACHED ARE THE WORK ORDERS FROM THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU AGAIN

THIS 2021 SILVERADO HAND A COMPLETE ELECTICAL FAULURE LEAVING THE VEHICLE DEAD IN THE IN THE ROAD AT NIGHT. WE HAD NO POWER AT ALL, NO WARNING FLASHERS IN THE DARK AT 9:00 PM AT NIGHT. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A CAR COMING AROUND CONER AS WE BROKE DOWN AT THE INTERSECTION WERE NO STREET LIGHTS WERE. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALREADY HAD THE FULL ENGINE REPLACED, PROBLEMS WITH THE INFOTANMENT SYSTEM AND NOW A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SHUTDOWN. WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DO ANYTHING AND WAITED FOR TWO HOURS IN THE ROAD FOR A WREAKER TO ARRIVE.

FULL ENJINE FAILURE AT 371 MILES CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.VEHICLE WAS DRIVEING ON CITY STREET ABOUT 30MPH WHEN FAILURE HAPPEN. JUST PRIOR TO THAT VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP WHEN WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT. SPRING BROKEN IN PISTON CAUSEING FAILURE. ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH INFO. SYSTEM BLANKING OUT AND NO RADIO THEN WHEN IT DID WORK NO VOLUME CONTROL ON THE RADIO. INFO. SYSTEM FIRST FAILED WHEN BACKING UP AND NO RADIO AT ALL. SECOND TIME WHEN MOVING FORWARD BUT I HAD RADIO BUT NO VOLUME CONTROL. 3RD TIME WHEN BACKING UP AND NO RADIO AT ALL. 4TH TIME WHEN DRIVING FORWARD AND NO RADIO VOLUME CONTROL, THEN A FEW MINUTES LATTER THE ENGINE FULLY FAILED. THIS VEHILCE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND ONLY HAD 371 MILES ON IT. THE ENGINE IS A 5.3 VOTEC GM ENGINE.

I AM LEFT HANDED, AND AM MOST COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH MY LEFT HAND AT THE 9 TO 10 O'CLOCK POSITION. THE CHEVY TRUCK I JUST PURCHASED HAS THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTINGS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HORN ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THEIR IS A PROTRUDING "THUMB JOYSTICK" WHICH IS USED TO SET THE SPEED UP OR DOWN BY USING YOUR THUMB OR FINGER. MULTIPLE TIMES NOW MY HAND HAS ACCIDENTLY SWIPED THIS "JOYSTICK" WHILE DRIVING ALONG A 30 TO 35 MPH PUBLIC STREET AND THIS TURNS ON AND ENGAUGES THE SPEED CONTROL AT THE LAST SAVED SET SPEED. USUALLY 65 TO 70MPH HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY AND IF YOUR REFLEXES AREN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE, WELL 2+2.

WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT IN REVERSE THE BACK UP CAMERA BECOMES VERY 'FUSSY' AN UNUSABLE. THE ONLY HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS NEEDED THE MOST. THE BACK UP CAMERA PROVIDE NO HELP IN FACT MAYBE DANGEROUS.
