2024 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I got my new 2024 Chevy Silverado 2.7l turbomax custom 6 months ago. It shifts weird the first few times from a cold start. I have asked the salesman and he said yeah you have to let the truck warm up for 5 min or so. But even in doing so it still happens, worse the colder out it is. Yesterday I went to grab some food and went to take off onto the main road and when it tried to shift from first to second it felt like the transmission just stopped working for a few seconds then hit 2nd gear hard. I was told this was because the truck needs to get used to the way I drive it. Which I now have close to 4,000 miles on it and it still happens almost every time I shut the truck off and it cools down to ambient temperature. I know this is not normal, and a big safety concern because when I do go to pull out and this happens it feels like a total loss of power and does not take off like it should. I have yet to bring it into the dealership. But I have called about the issue and was told this is normal and would go away. Which it has not. So I am going to make a appointment to get it in the shop. I have also read that many others are having this same exact issue. In which case some people are saying they told them the same thing “that it’s normal”, I have heard others say they will change transmission fluid because the fluid they used is to thick, and have heard of others who had to have them change out the control module for the transmission and or reset it. I am just worried that I’m going to pull out on day and have this happen and get hit from the rear because I don’t have the power I should have to take off properly. Not to mention I should not have to let my car idle for 5-10 min before I can drive it. That’s a huge waste of gas, and time, plus having your direct injection idle makes a ton of carbon build up in the engine. I am not a certified technician but I have been working on my own vehicles for over 20 years now. So a brand new truck should not be doing this.

While driving on March 23, 2025, we heard a loud bang, we stopped at a gas station shortly thereafter and realized the tailgate had fallen open while driving and struck the trailer hitch. The latch/camera compartment were broken and hanging from where it struck the crank for trailer hitch and the tailgate was damaged (dented). It was taken to the dealership where they advised there is a recall on some models due to this same issue. They checked and advised our truck is not part of recall. We filed a PAC claim with Chevrolet which they are declining to pay. The latch/camera is currently taped into place. It has fallen open while driving one additional time since the first event. We frequently carry things in the bed of truck and our safety and that of anyone behind us could be in jeopardy.

While merging onto the fast lane of the highway i experienced a "press push start to restart" alarm and total loss of power as I went to accelerate and merge with traffic. It was almost like the truck was in neutral but pedal would not even increase the rmp. There was no shoulder and I was forced to stop and restart my vehicle between the onramp and the fast lane. Im fortunate to not have ended up in a bad rear end accident. It did the same a half mile later where atleast I had a shoulder to pull off onto this time. Check engine light threw up a camshaft position sensor fault

The 2024 silverado with 13.4 infotainment system is unpredictable and often looses paring with iphone during driving. This is a major distraction because then to reestablish pairing for directions from apple maps or google maps chevy tells me you need to stop your vehicle. Put it in park. Re-establish pairing, te-enter destination and have it car play. This is 10x more distracting that someone using their phone non hands free. Furthermore gor music it often defaults to sirrus radio and to get itvto am or fm tequires you to step through many buttons on the steering wheel or touch an extremely small button like 3/16” in diameter to change to either am or fm. Again, a huge distraction. My 2016 chevy cruz and 2017 silverado worked flawlessly with out distraction. I talk to many others who have simply given up on using it because its too dangerous to take your eyes off the road to change settings. Im a retires EE and software developer and this is terrible and NTHB should look into it and test drive one for a couple hundred miles. Been buying Chevys since my first car in 1976 and never been disappointed with any till now. GM customer Service on several occasions and local dealer has been no help

I had a engine failure in my 2024 Chevy Silverrado Trail Boss1500. I had just exited off the highway and came to a complete stop at the stoplight. When the light turned green, I hit the gas pedal and I did not move. I looked down at my gear shifter and noticed the truck was in park (I did not shift the truck into park). I tried to put the truck into drive and realized the engine was not running. I tried starting the truck and it would not start. The truck would crank, but would not start up. I tried this several times with no luck getting truck started. I even tried to put the truck in neutral to get the truck out of the middle of the road and could not get it neutral to move it. I called chevy roadside to tow it to the dealer. The dealership called me on tuesday and said the engine had blown because of a bearing failure and engine needs replaced. Also, they have not let me know approx time I will get my truck back. They claim there's a shortages of engines on the 6.2 liter engine.

Truck has 7000 miles defective valve body failure would not go into reverse and in limp went to dealership and diagnosis is needs valve body replacement with parts on back order with no eta. They said it could be 3-5 months. This is a national issue I’m on multiple social media sites for Chevy trail boss and there is too many to count and it’s been happening since 2021. GM has been no help no loaners and you have to pay for a rental for 3-5 months and pay your truck payments and hopes you are reimbursed at the end. They just recalled the 2021-2022 same 10spd transmissions they are selling Trucks knowing these issues exist also the lifter issues with total engine failures at 10000 miles. The transmission lock up at high speeds.
