2022 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

Started vehicle and all of the brake system warning lights were on. Vehicle stated that I could drive 43 mph with limited braking ability and limited steering. Basically the power assisted brakes and steering would not work. The vehicle was parked at my place of employment. Called the dealer to ask for suggestions. Ask discussing it we decided to take it to the dealership. That was a good idea as there was not enough braking power to stop the pick up in an emergency situation. It took all I could to get it to stop. Pedal to the floor and hold it tight. The Service Manager decided it should stay as driving it was terribly dangerous. I was told it needed a new ECS. The vehicle shouldn't be driven in this state. What if this was to happen on the highway while pulling a trailer. This would put the driver, passengers and others at severe risk. Something needs to happen. Once it's fixed do I even trust it anymore?? GM KNOWS ABOUT IT

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated when he placed the vehicle into reverse(R), the Back Over Prevention systems failed to function as designed. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the dealer where it was purchased and was advised that the vehicle had been allowed to come off the factory line without the needed computer chips to activate the sensors and camera. The contact was told that as soon as the chips were available, he would be notified. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and provided the contact with a similar explanation. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

GM is rolling trucks off the production line with a known trailer brake controller fault. This issue causes the truck to lock out the trailer braking function immediately after applying braking with a trailer attached. This causes stopping distance to be dramatically increased resulting in greater risk of an accident. GM needs to correct this issue before loss of life occurs. This seems to be wide spread. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=166822&key=85381e43bf444ec4cbd8ddc48e53190b

On 11/10/2022 I was driving in moderate to heavy traffic at low speed; approximately twenty (20) mph. I applied the brakes and immediately experienced a hard pedal coupled with some pulsating. I pressed the pedal as hard as I could as there was traffic stopped in front of me. At the same time every warning light illuminated on the dashboard. My truck stopped just short of colliding with the other vehicle in front of me. The message displayed on the dash read “Brake System Failure” followed by a second message which read “Trailer Brake Failure”, and then an additional message that read “Do not exceed 42 mph”. Fortunately there was a Chevy dealership nearby. I drove the vehicle at very low speed to their service department and currently wait a diagnosis. My Chevrolet app also sent me a text at the time of the incident which read “Diagnostic Alert: Service the Antilock Braking System in your 2022 Silverado within 1 day”. My experience is similar to another incident which was reported to your agency in September of this year involving the same model truck. Note: I was not pulling a trailer at the time of the incident.

Service Trailer Brake Message with DTC C159C; Upon attaching my RV trailer, the trailer connected to the integrated systems as expected. Went though light inspections. I adjusted trailer brake gain. Upon first drive the message: Trailer Brakes Disabled Service Required. Took vehicle to dealership. They found #PIT5948A from Oct 6th, 2022 stating that engineers are aware of issue for all models using this integrated trailer brake. This is an Urgent issue and critical for those pulling trailers with brakes. This is very dangerous to have trailer brakes disabled when pulling heavy trailers can can result in serious accidents and should be addressed immediately. I've also not seen any communications on this from GM.

From day one of purchasing this vehicle the trailer brake controller would stop working after a mile or so while towing either of my two trailers. I brought the truck back to the dealer to get this issue fixed and their service response was "we could not duplicate problem, it must be with your trailer". I have two 10K trailers and both have same issue with my truck. I then went to and Utility Trailer dealer to determine if a new/never used trailer on the lot would duplicate them problem, which it did, proving the issue is not with my trailers, it is with the truck. This issue is a true safety issue because the warning 'brakes disabled' does not show up until you start driving/pulling a trailer. The brake controller message comes up on front display (trailer brakes disabled service required) and this shuts off trailer brakes which is a true safe issue if the vehicle needs stop. I've researched this issue extensively and social media platforms have this same issue reported however to my dismay there are no active or open recalls. I NEED THIS FIXED and I will continue to pursue and raise this issue as it's both dangerous and frustrating that I purchased a very expensive vehicle where I cannot use it as I need to.
