The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The accelerator and brake pedals became inoperable. The check engine warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the engine power reduced message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was caused by a faulty oxygen sensor. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000. The VIN was not available.

In May of 2023, the truck developed a significant shake when driving on moderate road bumps. We took it to the dealer and they replaced the pitman arm and idler arm assembly for over $2200. Recently, the shake started again. We took it to a local mechanic who told us that the upper ball joints were completely worn out and had been for some time, certainly since before the visit to the dealer in May. We had the ball joints replaced, and it is still shaking. We will continue to try to diagnose the problem but now we feel like we cannot drive it because it is unsafe. I’ve seen online that Chevy has a reputation of having this problem with our model (2019 Silverado). I’m filing this report to let you know that we are experiencing this problem.

On a trip from Southern California to Waco, TX, tire tread separation occurred on the driver's side front tire (Goodyear Wrangler ST-A LT265/60R20) on Sept 4, 2023 in Deming, NM. On the return trip from Waco, TX, to Southern California, on Sept 15, 2023 the tread on the passenger side rear tire (Goodyear Wrangler ST-A LT265/60R20)started separating in the same manner. The tire was replaced with the spare tire in Deming, NM, and the trip was resumed. On the same day, Sept 15, 2023 on arrival into Blythe, CA, the driver's side rear tire (Goodyear Wrangler ST-A LT265/60R20) in the same manner (tread separation). At that point, all the tires were replaced at a tire shop in Blythe, CA. In summary, within an 11 day period, three tires (Goodyear Wrangler ST-A LT265/60R20) failed from tread separation. All tires were the same make and model. They were purchased mounted when the new vehicle on Sept 11, 2018 (Chevrolet Silverado HD) was purchased. The three tires (Goodyear Wrangler ST-A LT265/60R20) failed from Sept 4, 2023 through Sept 15, 2023.

I purchased the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Duramax on July 3rd with 60,000 miles on it and it is in great condition and so great for the price. Then about a week later I had to pull a trailer and it started to ding and say Warning check trailer wiring and then it would say trailer connected and it would go back and fourth ever 5 seconds and would be dining the whole time. I had to drive like that for 4 plus hours and it was very distracting. I was not able to check my speed, get phone calls, control my volume, and many other things which makes me very mad. This is a safety hazard for people in the vehicle and people around us. I really this that Chevy should make this a recall because there are so many people that have this problem and it is very dangerous for people because it makes you take your eyes off the road so much. There are a lot of people that will not tolerate listening to the dinging noise and they will unplug the trailer and they will have no break lights nor blinkers because they do not want to listen to it and that is even worse. Especially when there is a lot of traffic people are not able to see if you are breaking or not and that is when accidents occur. If a lot of people keep having this happen they will on want to buy these vehicles anymore that is where I am at. I am thinks about getting rid of it and staying away from Chevy and GMC.

Warning light appears on dash at 34,000 miles informing to check and add coolant. Dealer said it's the coolant sensor and it's build in the coolant reservoir. Must replace entire reservior.

Vehicle has, on multiple occasions, had blinker lights flicker while vehicle is turned off. Vehicle has locked by itself, without anyone touching the lock buttons. Vehicle has had multiple issues with the fuel injectors, where the vehicle will read “reduced power engine.” Vehicle has been to a Chevrolet dealership for repair, although the issue still persists. I believe there is an electrical circuit issue with this vehicle, and there has been recalls on this model for exact reasons.

I purchased a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD a week ago and haven't even put 1000 miles on it and I'm already having the issues what many others have face with the "Service trailer brake system"
