2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE CHROME SURROUNDING THE AIR VENTS CAN REFLECT THE SUN IN A MANNER THAT BLINDS THE DRIVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING NORTH IN THE AFTERNOON. IT FORCES ME TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD, AND CAUSES IMPRINTING IN MY VISION, WHICH REDUCES MY ABILITY TO SEE WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE MOVING OFF FROM A STAND STILL, THERE WAS A HARD SHIFT IN THE TRANSMISSION BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE FAILURE WAS ALSO EVIDENT ON THE DOWNSHIFT FROM THIRD GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WHILE SLOWING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIDE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 715 LYNNWAY, LYNN, MA 01905, (781) 780-4587 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800.

ON TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH THE CHEAPER LOW TRIM BACKUP CAMERAS ANYTIME I TOUCH THE BRAKES WHILE BACKING UP THE CAMERA CUTS OUT. IT'S USUALLY A WHITE FLASH OR SOLID WHITE LINE BUT ON OCCASION WILL CUT OUT COMPLETELY TO A BLACK SCREEN.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAD JUST BEEN STARTED. THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS APPEAR ON MY DISPLAY, 1) 'ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DIVE WITH CARE'. 2) 'SERVICE, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM' 3) TRACTION CONTROL / ESC LIGHT APPEARS ON DASH. AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE TURNED. I CALLED ONSTAR TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS. A CODE OF U0100 IS STORED. ERRORS WILL CONTINUE FOR 20 - 30 MINUTES AND THEN GO AWAY. AFTER THAT THE TRUCK IS BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS AND SEEMS TO HAPPENS ONCE A MONTH SO FAR.

THIS VEHICLE IS A BRAND NEW 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 TRAIL BOSS. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 4.3L V6. THE FIRST TIME BACKING UP IN MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERED EVERYTIME I TOUCHED THE BRAKE PEDAL. I REPEATED BACKING UP SEVERAL TIMES AND AT ONE POINT THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERED AND WENT OFF (SCREEN WENT BLANK/BLACK WITH A MESSAGE "SERVICE REAR VISION SYSTEM". WHEN THE BACKUP CAMERA CAME BACK ON THE GUIDELINES FOR BACKING UP HAD DISAPPEARED. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE GUIDELINES BACK ON THE SCREEN UNTIL I CHANGED THE SHIFTER TO DRIVE OR PARK THEN BACK INTO REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN REPEATEDLY FLICKERS AND INTERMITTENTLY WILL GO BLANK WITH A LOSS OF GUIDELINES. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 4/1/19. THEIR REPORT WAS THAT THE SYSTEM DID IN FACT FLICKER AND THE SCREEN SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY HOWEVER STATED IT IS "NORMAL" FOR THESE VEHICLE. THEY GAVE ME A 2019 SILVERADO LOANER WITH THE SAME ACCESSORY PACKAGE AND THAT CAMERA DID THE SAME THING. THE DEALER NOTED THAT THEY TESTED MULTIPLE SIMILAR MODEL VEHICLES AND THEY ALL PERFORMED THE SAME WAY. THE DEALER MENTIONED IT OCCURRING ON THE MODEL WITH THE SMALLER DISPLAY SCREEN AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT OCCURRING WITH THE LARGER DISPLAY SCREEN. MY CONCERN IS HAVING CHILDREN IF BACKING UP AND THE SCREEN MOMENTARILY BLANKS OUT I LOSE REAR BACKUP CAMERA VISION CAUSING A POTENTIALLY FATAL CATASTROPHE. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS WITH LESS THAN 20MILES ON IT AND NOW WITH APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES ON IT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. I AM CONCERNED THAT A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS ISSUE BE RESOLVED AND ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER FOR GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

HARD SHIFTS. IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME. THE TRUCK SLAMS INTO GEARS AS YOU ARE DRIVING. ALSO, AFTER DOING A 3 POINT TURN. THERE WAS AN APPROXAMENTENTALY 3 SECOND LAG BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. IT HIT SO HARD THAT THE TRUCK SHOOK. IT FELT LIKE A COLLISION. IT HAS STUMBLED SEVERAL TIMES AND MADE ME DOUBT MY ABILITY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC.

PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION ONTO A HIGHWAY MY DASH DISPLAY SHOWED "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" I NOTICED I HAD NO POWER ASSIST TO MY STEERING AND THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AT BEST. I ALSO RECEIVED THE MESSAGE "SERVICE ECS" AT THIS POINT I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OF THE DIRECTION THE VEHICLE WAS GOING AND MANAGED TO PULL OVER. I ALSO NOTICED THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS STOPPED WORKING, CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, LANE ASSIST, AUTO STOP, ETC. I LET THE VEHICLE SIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND RESTARTED. NO ERRORS REMAINED AND I WENT ON MY WAY. SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN ON A HIGHWAY.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW SILVERADO WITH LESS THAN 6500 MILES AND POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING IN MIDDLE OF DRIVE. ALONE WITH BRAKES FAILING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!

I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A VERY LOW SPEED, WHEN THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER BALLJOINT SEPARATED AND DROPPED THE TRUCK ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE AND HAD ONLY 9000 MILES. I HAD JUST FINISHED A 10 HOUR INTERSTATE DRIVE AND WAS LUCKY IT DIDN'T SEPARATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR.

A WARNING DASH BOARD NOTICE 'SERVICE STEERING COLUMN LOCK'APPEARED THE VERY DAY WE TEST DROVE THE TRUCK.AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLED TO BE REPAIRED/CORRECTED.GM HAS MY TRUCK FOR MORE THAN 50 DAYS . GM CAN'T GUARANTEE ME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCKUP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.WITH THAT STATEMENT I CONSIDER THIS A UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. AND AS OF TODAY'S DATE GM AND THEIR DEALERSHIP CAN FIGURE THIS PROBLEM.I REQUESTED THAT GM REPURCHASE THE UNSAFE TRUCK BACK , I ONLY HAVE THIS TRUCK ABOUT 8DAYS OUT OF 60.
