2023 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the message “Reduce Acceleration – Drive with Care” was displayed. The vehicle was driven to the residence with an abnormal rattling sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

A few times before engine locked up, i was driving and out of no where it would shut off/lose all engine power and woukd shift to N automaticlly. Those 2 times it happend on the highway had to pull over to be able to turn it on again. The 3rd time it was at a busy intersection all 3 times i was with my wife and kids so was very dangerous. 3rd time it never turned on again with a low oil pressure message. Got it towed to the dealership and they told me the engine was locked up. So now at the dealer getting a new engine and radiator ect.

On 1/21/26 traveling on a 4 lane divided highway, vehicle stalled, several warning lights came on and vehicle came to a complete stop in driving lane. Vehicle locked in park and could not put vehicle in neutral to push it out of highway. Several vehicle swerved to avoid and until tow truck came blocked a lane. It was about 3:30pm fortunately. So vehicle was visible and no accidents to our knowledge occurred. Thai created a dangerous traffic situation. It was caused by a fuel pump control module Whig was repaired 2 days later at local Chevy dealer. We were advised there were no recalls on this part but it is a common problem. GM should somehow find a solution and repair said problem

After have the engine tested it was determined that my vehicle will receive the 0W/40 oil. After that change I have notices a lot of rattling and the engine not behaving like it should.

The contact owns a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the failure was associated with a coolant sensor failure; however, it was unknown whether the dealer had repaired the vehicle. The dealer then informed the contact that the vehicle was safe to drive. However, while driving 65-70 MPH, the engine overheated and the vehicle stalled. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road, and the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The failure was initially related to a coolant sensor, and the dealer advised the contact that the part was ordered; however, upon following up, another technician advised the contact that a digital multivalve was ordered. The contact stated that upon returning to the dealer, the dealer advised the contact to sign the service documents. The contact stated that after insisting on reading the service documents prior to the signature, the dealer provided the documents to the contact; however, the dealer later snatched the documents from the contact while the contact was reading the documents. The contact stated that it was unknown whether the vehicle was serviced. The service manager later informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired because the contact and the dealer could not come to an agreement. The contact informed the dealer that the vehicle should be repaired under the warranty. The vehicle was picked up from the dealer unrepaired. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the dealer's denial by the dealer to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer informed the contact that there would be a follow-up with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

The motor blew with no notice, around 1000 miles after the recall inspection. My safety, along with the others around me was put at risk as I was in the fast lane during rush hour traffic with no motor to aid switching lanes to get to the shoulder. Finally died at one of the busiest intersections in the state, for the last time, as I was attempting to limp to the dealer via multiple restarts. leaving me stranded on the side of the road on a wonderful January day. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and slated for an engine replacement. No notice, I let off the gas, and when I went to accelerate again, the motor shut off.

September 2025; the fuel control module failed at 75 mph in the left lane of I-45 requiring me to pull over on the shoulder in heavy traffic. I eas towed to my dealership 170 miles. At that time the recall test was performed on my 6.2 L L87 engine and passed inspection. The oil was upgraded at that time. Jan. 3, 2026 at 65 mph the engine died, once again on the highway at over 65 mph. Again I struggled to get to the right shoulder in heavy traffic. At the moment of failure, the engine revved from 1500 rpm to 3900 rpm and instantly fell to zero rpm and died. A message on the dash read unable to put in vehicle neutral. Again, I had it towed to my dealership where it's been diagnosed with a seized engine and I'm waiting (three weeks so far) on an engine replacement. I'm told the manufacturer rep has been to the dealership to confirm the failure and approved a complete engine replacement. There was never any advanced warning appearing on the dash. I have thorough maintenance records on this vehicle.

General Motors sent me a letter regarding a safety recall regarding my 6.2L V8 gas engine (ROP L87). Safety recall N252494000. I learned that my truck has the potential to have a complete engine failure. I took my truck to the dealership and all they did was an inspection and changed the oil on it. I'm not a mechanic, but total engine failure is concerning to say the least. I doubt simple change in oil thickness remedies serious recall. I learned there is an open lawsuit regarding this issue. I need Chevy to take this matter more serious, Im driving my family around in a ticking time bomb. I demand more than a band-aid. I want Chevy to replace my engine with a new reliable one.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally report a safety-related defect involving the power unlatching tailgate switch on my Chevrolet 1500 truck and to request that this make and model be added to the current safety recall affecting Chevy HD vehicles. The power tailgate unlatching switch malfunctioned and would repeatedly attempt to open and close the tailgate while the truck was parked. On one occasion, this occurred continuously overnight. The following morning, my key fob was completely unresponsive, and the truck had zero battery life. The battery would not accept a charge, and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. Upon inspection, the dealership confirmed that the battery had been fully depleted and permanently damaged due to a short in the power tailgate switch. The faulty switch continuously drew power as it attempted to actuate the tailgate, ultimately destroying the battery. This failure created a serious safety and reliability concern, leaving me stranded with a completely inoperable vehicle. Given that this issue resulted from an electrical short and caused total battery failure, I believe it represents a significant safety defect. Based on the similarity to issues addressed in the current Chevy HD safety recall, I strongly believe this make and model should be included in that recall. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and addressed to prevent other owners from experiencing the same hazardous situation. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Charles Senn

While driving at 70mph, my vehicle spontaneously shifted into Neutral and therefore dropped power to the transmission. I was unable to shift out of Neutral and therefore had to coast to the shoulder. Upon coming to a complete stop, my truck independently shifted into Park. Again, I was unable to shift out of Park. I turned my truck off, let it sit for a few seconds before unsuccessfully attempting to restart my vehicle. Multiple attempts to restart my vehicle continued to be unsuccessful and the vehicle system would reboot then shut off.
