I purchased the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax on July 3rd with 60,000 miles on it and it is in great condition and so great for the price. Then about a week later I had to pull a trailer and it started to ding and say Warning check trailer wiring and then it would say trailer connected and it would go back and fourth ever 5 seconds and would be dining the whole time. I had to drive like that for 4 plus hours and it was very distracting. I was not able to check my speed, get phone calls, control my volume, and many other things which makes me very mad. This is a safety hazard for people in the vehicle and people around us. I really this that Chevy should make this a recall because there are so many people that have this problem and it is very dangerous for people because it makes you take your eyes off the road so much. There are a lot of people that will not tolerate listening to the dinging noise and they will unplug the trailer and they will have no break lights nor blinkers because they do not want to listen to it and that is even worse. Especially when there is a lot of traffic people are not able to see if you are breaking or not and that is when accidents occur. If a lot of people keep having this happen they will on want to buy these vehicles anymore that is where I am at. I am thinks about getting rid of it and staying away from Chevy and GMC.

Vehicle has, on multiple occasions, had blinker lights flicker while vehicle is turned off. Vehicle has locked by itself, without anyone touching the lock buttons. Vehicle has had multiple issues with the fuel injectors, where the vehicle will read -??reduced power engine.-?? Vehicle has been to a Chevrolet dealership for repair, although the issue still persists. I believe there is an electrical circuit issue with this vehicle, and there has been recalls on this model for exact reasons.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while driving at 30-35 MPH with a 2017 Heartland Bighorn trailer hitched to the vehicle, the message -??Check Trailer Wiring-?? was displayed. The brake pedal was depressed, however, the trailer brakes failed to respond and the trailer did not slow down as intended. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring for an extended period of time while driving. The contact stated that the failure persisted for 4 hours while driving at 60 MPH. The contact stated that several unknown repairs had been completed on the trailer. However, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer Graff Chevy Durand (9009 Lansing Rd, Durand, MI 48429), where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. The contact stated the Pollak 7-Way Plug Connector was installed on the vehicle under GM Technical Service Bulletin Number :PIT5311E. However, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent, which made it difficult to diagnose. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000. The contact stated that they paid for repairs on the trailer but feels that the issue is coming from the truck too.

Recall N212329840, N182206310, N182206311. We have received these recalls for the heater block heater cord for our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Duramax Diesel. The dealership removed the cord without having a replacement available. We have made several attempts to have this cord replaced per the recall notice but to no avail. GMC continues to fail to provide a replacement cord or heater block unit. This part is essential for the Duramax diesel engine to perform in cold climates. Without the heater block functioning the diesel engine will not function properly. We feel this is a safety issue for the maintaining the engine as designed and the occupants of the vehicle. The engine may eventually start in cold climates but start to fail as you drive it because the engine block is not warmed and the fuel will gel. This will cause the truck to stop running as you are driving it. We would like to have NHTSA to investigate why the heater blocks/cords are not available.
