    Torque converter failure, only 33k miles on vehicle. Had a load of dirt in bed of truck, while going home had too pull to side of road. Cause - truck shook violently almost lost control, thought someone hit me at first. While getting started again, noticed transmission was shifting funny but got home and symptoms went away for approx 2 months. April 16 while going for a drive on the highway, truck shifted down gears while cruise was set at 65mph the had trouble getting into gear so I pulled to the side and shut her down after I noticed a engine light come on. Luckily I had a scanner in my vehicle that I carry all the time and the code PO741 CAME UP. TORQUE converter and impellar, sensors,wiring issue. I called dealer immediately to set up apps and they came to same conclusion, TORQUE converter,impellar,trans lines .

    When driving at low speeds and trying to brake, my vehicle's brake pedal fades and fails to stop properly requiring increased stopping distance. This happens when pulling into parking lots, stopping at a traffic device, or in a drive through. There is a current recall for this exact problem that I am experiencing within my model year, however my VIN number does not have the recall. The campaign numbers for this recall are 19V645 and 20V603. I want me vehicle added to the list so I can have it repaired by the dealer before an accicdent occurs. This event has occurred multiple times in my vehicle over the past 18 months/30,000 miles.

It's a on and off thing.

    Hello- I'm constantly receiving a repetitive service trailer brake system chime while driving and/or in park which is very dangerous! The exact warning message that pops up on my screen constantly says: Trailer Brake System. I have 87,531 on my certificated pre-owned 2017 Chevy Silverado_Redline edition. Extensive research leads me to believe that the wire harness in between two of the body control modules is detective! I TRULY BELIEVE that GM/Chevrolet Corporation should be held accountable in recalling the DEFECTIVE low quality wire harness on all 2017 Chevy Silverado's. The distracting message puts every driver at risk and should be deemed extremely UNSAFE to drive. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

    On 9/11/2017 i purchased this 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom double cab truck. I owned it for over 7 years. (46000 miles) And garage kept since day 1. I noticed a lot of rust on frame and Spair tire a lot . Also the paint on the body is chipping a lot. I did not have any problems with the lifter issue yet. But i feel as soon as it goes out of warranty I will have to deal with rebuilding my engine. GM knows of this problem and not doing anything about it. It would be nice if this engine could be replaced with none of the AFM parts and at no cost to me.

    Fuel injectors are misfiring. This has caused the shifting of gears to be rough. Also, when at a complete stop, then a small amount of force is applied to the gas pedal, a sudden jump forward will take place. Check engine light and the traction control lights have came on.

    When you put the truck in reverse, the rear back up camera display is always extremely bright, regardless of the setting of the dimmer switch or automatic dimmer settings. This causes a safety issue at night when backing up, as the driver's night vision is completely diminished as soon as you put the truck in reverse. The display becomes so bright the driver loses their night vison and is also unable to use their mirrors.
