2024 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

the transmission slips into neutral when in drive or reverse. yes dealer states it the valve body on transmission part not available called general motors and they state looking to get part can not tell us how long this is on a brand new chevy silverrado 4WD 2024.

The truck suddenly and completely shut down while I was driving on the highway, with no warning signs before the total power loss. This unexpected failure put me in a dangerous situation. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership where it was purchased, and after inspection, the dealer informed me that the engine had completely failed and now requires a full replacement.

While driving my vehicle on the highway I was exiting when I looked down at the instrument panel it stated a message along the lines of shifting to neutral and to press the ignition to restart engine. I noticed the vehicle wasn’t accelerating when attempting so I slowed down and did what it instructed me to do. The engine then wouldn’t start, I was uneasy because cars were coming from behind at a decent speed because of morning traffic. I somehow managed to get it to crank and took it to the dealer right away. They stated it was from low voltage and were replacing the battery under warranty. I didn’t think that was the cause but gave them the benefit of the doubt. 2 weeks later while taking my family out, the same incident happened. I wasn’t able to get it to crank and had to get it towed to the dealer. They stated it was the engine because now the engine was making a loud sound when ignited. It is about to be 4 weeks without vehicle and no repair has been made due to no inventory on engines.

Was pulling out onto the road from sitting at a traffic light, vehicle was going less than 25mph when the engine made a clunk trying to shift and the check engine light came on. Computer software indicated “limp mode with reduced acceleration activated.” Vehicle wouldn’t accelerate above 35mph, had to drive on major highway to get to dealership. Truck is only used as commuter vehicle hasn’t towed anything. Dealership indicated valve body transmission failed with vehicle only have 9k miles on it. Part is on back order as it is being manufactured due to installed faulty part, problem has been going on in 2023/2024 Chevy and gmc trucks since January 2024 without a recall put in place. Problem is being fixed after the part fails and the truck fails to run at optimal valves. According to forums software update were installed versus recalls to the actually valve body part being. I was sold a truck in sept 2024 with a faulty installed part versus it being fixed before it was purchased. This caused me to be stranded 1500 miles away from my home and we were not made aware of the know valve body transmission issue. The information was covered up versus being disclosed.

I’ve had 3 occasions of this brand new vehicles front collision avoidance system going off HARD and locking up the brakes. It scared the crap out of me as there was nothing in front of me - if I hadn’t known the truck had automatic collision software - I’d have driven to the Chevy Dealership right then. The first time I thought it was a fluke. The second time it really caught me off guard. The third time (inside 2 months) I realized there is something not right. I reported it to the dealership but they wanted me to trade it in for a new truck. Sorry, no. I just want to report this problem as I’ve seen a recall on other vehicles with 10 speed transmissions. Their shifting problem - is also present in the Chevy Silverado Truck - but it has not impacted my use of….

On [XXX] at [XXX] while driving at highway speeds (70-75 mph) on [XXX] , I experienced engine failure in my 2024 chevy silerado zr2. Within seconds, the truck began to lose engine power, the check engine light came on, a transmission warning displayed, the truck shook violently and lost electrical power and power steering. I was able to get to the shoulder in less than a minute and the truck shut down completely. After exiting the truck, I observed smoke, the smell of fire and engine oil/ fluids all over the ground. There were no warning lights or symptoms prior to the engine failing. The sudden loss of power and power steering could have resulted in an accident. The vehicle has been inspected by a certified chevy dealer and they have verbally confirmed engine failure. i have not been provided any documentation or formal updates on the process.
