This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the gear shifter was shifted into park(P); however, the -??Shift to Park-?? message was displayed. The contact shifted the gear shifter back and forth and then shifted into park(P) before the proper gear was recognized. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the shifter cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The transmission totally failed on my 2019 Chevy Trail Boss Z71 at 72115 Miles. It failed while on the freeway. I paid to tow it to Atlas Transmission. I paid $4536 cash for a total rebuild. After it was fixed it started to fail again because they used rebuilt GM parts. I Traded the truck in to buy a Dodge Ram.
There is a vibration that is randomly felt. Over the last year I have replaced struts shocks control arm control arm bushings sway bar link sway bar link bushings tires twice and the vibration just keeps increasing to the point it's doing it now when I turn or take bends in the highway. There is now a flat spot in a tire feel when going it slower speeds to be added to the vibration that happens later on obviously related. This is either from my understanding going to be axle or driveshaft it's going to get looked at today since there's nothing left underneath to repair. This has ruined a pair tires I bought last year for $1,500 in September and probably well on its way to ruining the tires that I've just put on last week for $2,400. There is a hesitation a lack of response and a vibration. As far as the electrical goes it makes this very weird buzzing sound very randomly it's only happened about four times it's loud and it can't be explained. Also sometimes the radio and the AC just turns on and there's no key in the car and I've had the door open for a few minutes. Sometimes after turning it off he'll turn everything off but turn it all back on again no key in. Sometimes I can turn the stereo off and it makes a whistling buzzing sound and it's not even on. As far as any light indicators on the dash for any of this no never had a one. I have completely taken care of this vehicle with the transmission flush and will changes and everything that it's supposed to have and I put a lot of money in it since I've had it in a year but I shouldn't have to on 2019 and it's still experiencing the same problems and I have plenty of documentation. As far as date of occurrence it's been continual and random since I bought the truck in June of 2023 from a local dealership called Lokey
Loss of power/misfire on cylinder 6 Diagnosis is cam/lifters. 8/4/2023 120k miles. Shift to park warning at 60,000 miles. continues. Max speed held to 65mph due to abs system"??" for 10 minutes at approximately 90k miles. Park assist failure (complete) at approximately 80k miles.
Transmission failure at ~90700 miles. Transmission failed while driving home from work on US-95 on 26 July 2023, placing myself and other drivers at risk of accident and injury due to vehicle unable to shift gears at higher speeds. This problem was confirmed by Sullivan Tire mechanics, who also spoke with mechanics at McLaughlin Chevrolet, who have stated that they have received vehicles for repair and replacement for the same mechanical failure. I am currently waiting on insurance to inspect this issue. The malfunction indicator light (MIL) did come on the information center at the same time the problem appeared.
Vehicle started shuttering then almost slamming from gears and eventually gave out at 97k - Vehicle is still in the shop right now, as I have no other vehicle
The vehicle started jumping when switching gears or when accelerating from a stop. The drive shaft ended up separating from the transfer case, lost 3rd gear in the transmission, and blew the 8th cylinder in the motor. I am seeing that this is a common issue with the year, make, and model. Yet not all that were affected were actually included in the recall from 2020. We luckily were not in an accident from this incident however, this has cost us well over $10,000 in repairs. This issue needs to be addressed and GM needs to fix this problem. This could cause an accident.
Vehicle is in the shop getting repaired under warranty for a defective transmission valve body. Chevrolet is not able to get the part and it has been two weeks. Almost had an accident on trying to come to a stop and the transmission failed.
The transmission jerks when shifting or just driving as you-??re accelerating and as you-??re at cruising speed, the transmission has a shutter that creates a vibration through the truck. My safety was put at risk as I did not know if the transmission was gonna fail as bad as the truck was shaking. The dealer reproduced the same problems that I was having. Said the fix was to change out transmission oil with the new transmission oil. Had to pay for a flush and filter at 56,000 miles. There were no warning lights coming on for the vehicle. Just the shattering of the transmission.
The pickup shifts violently in and out of overdrive and than into second and than overdrive all while driving down the road at 55 mph and the rear end locks the tires up some times and the whole truck vibrates really and this power Tran problem is getting worse everyone I drive it and it's not safe to have any passengers or my kids in it anymore and it feels like the transmission is going to disintegrate at any moment because and if it does the transmission is going to lock up and than its going to cause a car accident..PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THIS TRUCK CAUSES A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM..IM JUST THINKING ABOUT MY KIDS SAFETY AND OTHER FAMILIES SAFETY ON THE ROAD...FROM A CONCERN PARENT..
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the transmission was shifted into park(P), the contact turned off the vehicle; however, the instrument panel and radio remained operational. The contact restarted and then turned off the vehicle a second time to correct the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
While traveling at a high rate of speed one of the Active fuel management lifters failed. This caused a misfire in one cylinder also damaging the cam shaft. The engine was stuttering and running very poorly at higher speed. Luckily it did not cause a complete engine failure and I was able to safely exit the highway and make it to a garage. The repairs totaled over $5900. This is a known problem with the AFM system and continues to be ignored by GM. Under different circumstances this could be potentially a very dangerous situation.
My 8 speed transmission jumps out of gear randomly. Sometimes when I'm trying to pass on a 2 lane road at which time I am forced to hit the brakes and get back in line behind the vehicle I was trying to pass. Or after have stopped at a stop light or stop sign and I'm attempting to make a turn. At which time it will sometimes jump out of gear causing me to be stuck in front of oncoming traffic. It's getting worse and the GM dealer can't do anything about it.
So my Silverado is having the same issues as many other Silverado owners. I originally had the vehicle in for service on a transmission issue, which is also another problem these vehicles are having. As for the engine issue I have experienced the vehicle stalling out after running rough, primarily after the vehicle has been running for a while. In addition, there are times when I am driving at highway speeds and the vehicle seems to shudder and shake. I thought OK maybe it's the wheel balance or alignment so I took it in for the wheel balance and the alignment and it still is doing the same thing. So at this point I had the spark plugs, wires and coil packs replaced. Still having the same issue. In addition to this I had the vehicle in for first time transmission hard shifting at around 20k miles. The technician took the vehicle for a drive and stated that there was an issue and that the computer reset should eliminate the problem. It didn't. So I dealt with this multiple times, bringing the vehicle to service for diagnosis and even filing a claim with GM. The vehicle is still experiencing these problems with the hard shifting. I had the recommended maintenance performed on the vehicle which included fluid replacement without a resolution to the issue. I have completely lost confidence in the GM products and their service technicians as they've been unable to repair the vehicle to proper running order. This will be my last GM product, and that says a lot coming from a GM family member. Sad that quality has significantly gone downhill.
Currently own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Texas Edition Z-71. Transmission continues to hard shift / lunge in forward and reverse. The transmission has popped so hard, on multiple occasions that I was convinced that someone had hit me from behind and had to pull over. The downshift is occasionally so hard that it that you jerk forward out of the seat. In October of 2022 the downshift at 15 mph made me lose control of my truck and utility trailer, sliding me into a small tree causing over two thousand dollars in damages. The suspension is also extremely shaky and any rough terrain makes the vehicle uncontrollable even at low speeds. I have almost had 3 additional accidents because of loss of control in rain and snow. The suspension is also noisy when you first drive with a grinding / rubbing sound. Vehicle has been in for service for these issues on more than one occasion and I have been told they cannot find anything wrong. I have had a transmission code in the past that eventually turned off. A quick internet search shows these all to be known issues and Chevrolet refuses to address of repair these major safety issues.
My transmission is always shifting hard and shuddering intermittently and is going in for inspection. Shifting hard could cause a problem for the driver it is very distracting. Yes, independent service center. No. No warning lamps came up and it has been going on just under a year now
*What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request"- drive transmission while driving at a low speed 25mph or less I stopped at a stop sign and preceded to go while accelerating the truck started to go and immediately stopped moving forward with a high rev on the RPMs I checked to see if maybe the truck died but it was still in drive I put my hazard lights on and shut the truck off thinking for some reason it shut off when starting again immediately did a high rev when trying to accelerate with the gas pedal now this happened for about 10min I a high traffic area I proceeded to push the truck out of the way with the help of some kind strangers, I waited about 20min till starting the truck again and regained drive i went back and forth momentarily only to have the same thing happen again. I had to leave my vehicle in my work parking lot and have my wife drive 1 1/2hr away to pick me up. was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - I had no indication on my dash of any check engine lights luckily I was only going a slow speed and was at a stop sign when the incident happened I obscured a heavily traffic area and I had to push the vehicle to a safe position. the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - I have yet to get this to a dealer, I currently had towed to my home. the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - No *Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" - No warning lamps This vehicle has 80,000 plus miles is used as a family/every other daily driver I have not hauled anything but a vintage trailer that's well within its towing capability I have no warning lamps to even indicate a problem is occurring at this time.
