I was in the parking lot at a grocery store in motion pulling out of a parking spot and my brakes and steering got very hard. I had to mash the brake pedal as hard as I could to get the truck to stop. It was hard to steer as well. There was lots of error messages and lights on. Service ESC, top speed 62mph, service trailer brake. Had to wait 30 minutes and start truck. It runs now but check engine light is on. This is the second time this has happened. This first time I was in a drive thru and had to push the truck out of the way. If this happened on the highway or a busy street it could be deadly. I am not comfortable driving this truck anymore.

Silverado 1500

  • 1,500 miles
Purchased new vehicle with less than 4,000 miles was running fine when parked. When it was cranked to go home listed ESC failure, service steering column lock, trailering system failure, lane departure disabled, speed limited to 60 mph. I was able to get home, but the brakes were so hard that it was extremely difficult to stop. Local dealer it was purchased through "fixed it" less than 1,500 miles later I'm having the same issue! obd has the codes C0021, C0021, P25A2, P25A2, P0606. I do not feel safe driving this truck! if that issue were to happen approaching an intersection I would have no way of stopping in time. Ridiculous.

Silverado 1500

  • 5,000 miles
The rear backup camera is full of static interference at night creating safety issues when trying to back up. It's virtually unusable and creates a safety hazard especially while traveling with my two children. I've almost crashed into different objects or vehicles in attempts to back up the truck. I took the truck in to have this fixed, two weeks after buying the vehicle. They were unable to fix this issue. I need some help on a resolution.

Started the truck up and the check engine light, ABS, brake, traction control lights were all on with a message in the center brake system failure. Limped vehicle to the dealership to have worked on. The braking system is working at about 10%. I am not the only person that this has happened to GM need to recall these trucks and get them fixed before someone dies

Silverado 1500

  • 2,200 miles
I was backing up at a rate of 15 mph when a message flashed on my dashboard saying something along the lines of unsafe to drive over 62 mph, brake failure, electronic control system malfunction. I hit my brakes and nothing. I kept driving backwards. I couldn't stop until the truck came to a stop on it's own. I turned off the truck and turned it back on with a message saying 'see dealer braking system malfunction.' I was at a storage unit, leaving my unit.

Reverse camera cuts in and out when backing up, lines in screen with a message saying service reverse camera. Went to dealer and they have no fix for it, this is a safety concern as it is a camera for assisting long for a driving purpose.

Putting vehicle in reverse the reverse camera pops up but is extremely low quality, I had better quality on a screen half this size from Ford that was 6 years older the screen is hazy with lines running across it, while reversing or pressing the brakes the screen gets glitchy and will even completely cut off and say 'service vision system, I have less than 100 miles on this truck, this should not be happening but it seems the dealers have no fix for it apparently

Silverado 1500

  • 1,700 miles
Started vehicle up from a parking lot, proceeded to intersection. Went to hit my brakes for the red light. And warning lights started flashing. I had about 10% of brakes at this point. Could not stop for red light, but was able to steer to the right, parallel with the oncoming traffic to avoid a serious collision. The truck is setting at the dealership now. And I'm being told that parts are back ordered.

Silverado 1500

  • 9,500 miles
Truck is 8 months old, less than 10K miles on it. Steering locked up backing out of my driveway. ESC warnings, and various other electrical warnings. Dealer stated it needs steering column or gear as they saw the codes and do not want me to drive the vehicle. Vehicle has been at dealer since November 1st (45 days and counting) GM has stated part should ship the week of December 30th... even if it goes well this will be 60 days in a row without my truck! definitely should be compensated for this. Roadside assistance was 2 hours late, dealership gave away loaner, then when I got a loaner dealership asked me to bring it back within a week because they sold the loaner... now driving a small SUV instead of my big truck. Hmmmm.

  • 16,000 miles
When I back up the back up camera flashes out, is blurry, and it seems as if when I tap the brakes it makes the screen flash out causing a serious hazard. I've contacted GM they are at this point I assume ignoring me and refuse to help with this issue on my brand new truck. Now today my break monitor system flashes up red saying service system not my breaks or pads but something with the break system is apparently wrong now.

problem #21

Jul 052019

Silverado 1500

  • 11,000 miles
Brand new truck an the back up camera flashes flickers, is terrible to see, backing up.GM says its normal. Not normal especially when the catalog says camera is hd 7", never seen a back up camera be able to flash and flicker when the lights are actuated brakes are on. Means there is a draw in the system. There is tinterference with it and the electrical system. I also have the traction control relay clicking everytime the traction control comes on. Have had three vehicles and never heard that to be normal. Head lights are so dim the cars behind me brighten the road. These lights dont even light the refelctors on the road. But apparently normal you can put led in, but have to pay for it. Just keep driving and cant see where your going until you get hurt. Also add led and void your warranty.

The rear backup camera is faulty. Randomly will get a blue screen (backup camera being inoperable) that says to "service rear vision system". research online, says there is no current fix for this issue. I only have 600 miles on a brand new truck.
