2021 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

The track on the back glass is cracked and leaking water into the interior back cab light.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the recall parts were not yet available, and that the dealer had been made aware of the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

My truck was brought in for the recall inspection for the 6.2 lt recall. After showing the dealer pictures from the oil that drained out of my previous oil change that was filled with metal, they expedited the inspection. But with substantial amount of metal in the oil filter the truck still passed the test. GM corporate has told me that once the inspection is done, it is out of their hands and that my truck will be covered under the new extended warranty. GM also should have the pictures of the metal flakes from the previous filter. I fill like this is a failure to ensure the safety of their product. I do not fill safe having my children or my wife in the truck due to the inevitable of the engine loosing power due to the faulty cam shafts that need to be replaced.

6 months and 20,000 miles after purchasing the 2021 Chevy Silverado custom 4x4 with the 8 automatic transmission and the 2.7L turbo charged engine with 32,000 original miles on it from Volume Chevrolet in Forsyth GA I noticed the transmission was jerking when the truck was first crunk and warming up after about 10 minutes and once it got to 8 mph after a while when the temperature gauge was half way up it would stop and when you slowed down from 55 mph to about 5 MPH to make a turn it would suddenly jerk again, I reported the issue to the dealership service mechanic shop reps during every oil change and they assured me that it was normal and that it would stop happening when I let the truck warm up for about 30 minutes prior to driving, once the factory power train warranty ran out, they informed me that it needed a transmission service and they would have to keep it a few days and it would cost around $800 or so to get it done, the purge pump on the emissions system has a factory defect and I received a recall letter about it 6 months after purchase and they are refusing to replace the purge pump until they perform a full diagnostic first even though they have done a scan diagnostic and it shows the purge pump failed and I have just been struggling with all the cost of living and increased prices I can't afford any kind of costly repairs right now and my truck now has 120,350 miles on it and the issue is getting worse to the point that I am sure that the transmission valve body and some other sensors and control modules are failing, this is not a single issue and other dealerships have said that the transmission was starting to have problems in other trucks at around 55,000 miles and some earlier than 55,000 miles, I believe that this is an ongoing transmission issue with the 2.7L turbo charged engine in both the 4x4 and 2x4 models and with the 8 speed automatic transmission In general, I have talked with several other owners and they have had similar issues .

Vehicle experienced engine failure while driving. Loss of power in traffic. Inspected by dealer and determined to have lost compression in cylinder #5. Initial inspection determined that lifters and camshaft would need to be replaced. This issue is the same common problem with this year model (2021) Chevy Silverado Trucks as noted in TSB #N212353840. At time of purchase dealer did not notify me that these trucks were experiencing these issues nor did they complete the suggest repairs prior to the sell as described in the TSB.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact was unable to remove the key from the ignition. The contact stated that several attempts were needed, and up to 45 minutes were needed to remove the key from the ignition. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was referred to a locksmith regarding the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for further assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.

engine is knocking very bad. GM Dealer says it is an issue w/ the piston main bearing and the engine needs to be replaced. Says vehicle should not be driven.

My engine on my 2021 Silverado 1500 with the 6.2L L87 engine failed, I took it to the dealer to repair and they quoted $4500 to fix it. I know these same engines are being recalled and GM is having to replace them, but they told me mines not one of the ones being recalled and the won't cover it because the warranty was up 5,000 miles ago. I highly doubt it's a coincidence, that mine failed after only 65,000 miles and it's not a manufacturer flaw. The vehicle is currently at the dealership awaiting repairs.

Component is transmission. Stutter vibrate shift while driving. There is a recall on the 2021 Chevy 1500 Silverado which is exactly the issue we are having from our 2021 Silverado. The VIN for our truck is falling under the current recall. Chevy wants to charge to even diagnose the problem which has to be done with a dealer and not a private place. That is absurd and puts our safety at risk should the vehicle stop functioning while driving it. The dealer ship has inspected the vehicle for the yearly inspections which is interesting since this has happened and been complained about since purchase.

I was driving on big highway when I lost power brake light came on engine light on message about emergency brake need it serviced I was only able to go about 15 mph on big highway very dangerous engine sounds knocking was very loud at this point I knew something very bad happen my truck only had about 85k miles on it I took to the dealership to get a diagnose they took my oil filter off and found metal debris on it and told me I need a new engine I has to know what made this engine fail but they just told me a internal part fail well I was not happy with that answer knowing that some model truck with the v8 engine where having problems with valve body’s my truck is 4 cylinder turbo 2.7. My truck is out of warranty I call gm and told them what happen and they call me back after speak to the dealership and offer to pay 30% of total cost to replace engine I was quoted $10,400.000 for the engine replacement the dealership was shock that gm was willing to pay for something out of warranty I just wanted to have this on record it seems very wrong that a truck with so low miles with need a engine replacement out of nowhere broke down on highway put me and other at risk my truck as been at the dealership from the day it happen and I’m still waiting on a engine they are telling me they are out of stock over a month still waiting
