2021 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

Starting smelling gas inside of the cab, at first thought it was non-issue, but the smell persisted. Several days passed, and when I went to warm up my truck in the morning smelled a strong gas odor, and when I looked under the engine - there was a pool of gas, and gas was leaking. Took it in to the dealership (thinking it was a simple loose filter line) but they now say that it is more than that. Not sure if this has been a re-occurring issue with these new trucks, but it could have been a very dangerous situation.

Non stopbbreak noise. No matter what you do, what is or isn't added, how clean they are, they constantly squeak and loud! Dealers won't help. Tell you to get on the brakes hard. That helps for a few minutes! Over 50k fix the brakes!!!

My fiance started the truck. Drove about 2 miles from my mothers house, the check engine light came on. The traction control light came on and then she informed me that it felt like all braking power was lost. Truck is being towed to dealership. Could have killed or badly injured someone.

While in a McDonalds drive through Truck lost all braking ability. Pedal went right to the floor. Truck had to be put in park to stop and shut down. After re starting engine brakes started functioning again. Very scary incident.

Brakes: the brakes do not stop the vehicle without excessive pressure to the pedal. Especially carrying a trailer with the exhaust brake & trailer brakes in effect. Takes excessive distance for vehicle to stop. Pedal must be pressed 3/4 to the floor for it to start to apply brakes. It is extremely difficult to stop this vehicle at any speed over 45mph. Have not taken to dealer, was expecting a recall but none until now. Steering: when I turn the steering wheel at low speeds such as backing into a parking spot, there’s a loud squealing noise coming from the engine bay.

Front Park Assist (FPA) system did not provide any level of advanced alert until after impact when all conditions were fully met as stated in the user's manual for the Park Assist system. NOTE: Text after bullets are extracts from user's manual while test in () are owner's feedback during incident when FPA failed to alert. •as the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) ( the vehicle was going 1-2 MPH) •the sensors on the bumpers may detect objects up to 1.2 m (4 ft) in front (Front Park Assist (FPA) detection was not until pipe contact was made with bumper/sensor) •within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below bumper level. (Pipe was in full zone from 0 to >30" high) •Blocked sensors will not detect objects and can also cause false detections. Keep the sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in freezing temperatures. (The sensor was not blocked in anyway. The truck has never been in mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush.) •When an object is first detected in the rear, one beep will be heard from the rear, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse two times. (Initial FPA alert level was never reported) •(There was not an intermediate level description in the user's manual as implemented by GM. Intermediate FPA "yellow" alert was never reported) •or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front — a continuous beep will sound (Continuous beep from FPA was reported only after contact was made with the pipe) •The Park Assist system does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects located below the bumper or that are too close or too far from the vehicle. (The pipe as an object was above bumper height and passed from outside the range slowly (1-2mph) until contact was made without any alert from the FPA) This is a single occurrence issue and was reported to GM.

The contact owned a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the contact noticed flames coming from the cab and the bed of the vehicle. The contact stated that the flames grew bigger and the contact pulled over to the side of the road and exited the vehicle before the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames. A report was made with the fire department. There were no injuries. Medical attention was sought for mental and emotional purposes related to the incident. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the Vin was not under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP, THE REAR CAMERA HAS STOPPED WORKING. INSTEAD, I RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE. THERE ARE NO SHORTAGE OF COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ON VARIOUS MODEL CHEVROLET FORUMS. MOST 2020/2021 CUSTOMERS INDICATING THERE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLUTION OR SPECIFIC ISSUE IDENTIFIED.

MY TRUCK WILL NOT START RANDOMLY. THE TRUCK WILL CRANK BUT WON'T FIRE. IF I WAIT A WHILE IT WILL EVENTUALLY START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE IT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NO ERROR CODES NOTED.

I'M HAVING A SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE EXTREMELY LARGE SIDE MIRRORS CAUSING A BLIND SPOT WITH CROSSING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE I'M A VERY CAREFUL DRIVER TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, SO A COUPLE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I CAME TO AN INTERSECTION AND STOPPED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO CROSSING TRAFFIC BEFORE DRIVING THROUGH. AS I BEGAN TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, I NEARLY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF A CROSSING VEHICLE, A VEHICLE THAT WAS NO WHERE IN VIEW WHEN I STARTED TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF WHERE DID THAT VEHICLE COME FROM? A FEW DAYS LATER I NEARLY DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND I REALIZED I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING WRONG, THAT IT WAS THAT HUGE SIDE MIRROR CREATING SUCH A HUGE BLOND SPOT THAT WHEN THE CROSSING VEHICLE IS AT A CERTAIN POINT THE MIRROR TOTALLY BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THAT VEHICLE. I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS LARGE MIRROR. I'M CONSIDERING GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE TRUCK CAN BE FITTED WITH A SMALLER MIRROR, BUT THERE IS PROBABLY A HUGE COST TO THE CUSTOMER. THERE MUST BE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS TRUCK HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THAT I HAVE EVER COMPLAINED TO THENHTSA , BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I'M WORRIED.
