    The engine started acting weird in traffic going down hill on freeway. Eventually turned off turning into my driveway. No warning or engine light.

    - Rancho Cucamonga, CA

    My vehicle keeps jerking/stalling/choking but continues to drive. I went to AutZone (01/28/2026) and they ran a check on it. The report states it has to with a Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor and that an Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak was detected. I need to know in what direction do I need to go to get assistance in this matter. Do I take to the dealer manufacturer to fix the problem or do I contact a lawyer? I have another complaint that was filed with the NHTSA #11711799 on January 18/19, 2026 and no resolution was made. That complaint is for a problem with the Mass Airflow Sensor pertaining to the fuel system. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

    “Service safety restraint system” light came on. I feel this is a defect and a serious concern. I’ve seen where others are experiencing the same issue. I bought this vehicle specifically because I wanted to a safe vehicle to drive my 4 children around in.

  • 2024 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500
    - Maud, OK

    NHTSA Vehicle Safety Complaint I am reporting a serious transmission defect in my 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD LT that creates a high risk of sudden power loss, erratic shifting, or loss of control while driving. Vehicle Details: - Make/Model/Year: Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD LT, 2024 - VIN: 2GC4YTEYXR1263768 - Engine: 6.6L Duramax diesel - Transmission: 10-speed Allison (10L1000) - Mileage at diagnosis: ~46,000 miles - Title: Rebuilt (warranty denied due to branding) Defect Description: The transmission shifts normally when cold (fluid below ~138°F). Once warm (during normal driving), it fails to upshift properly in gears 5-8: holds lower gears, causes high RPMs (3,000+), delays shifts excessively, or refuses to shift. When shifts occur, they are hard and jerky. Automatic (Drive) mode is affected; manual/L mode works normally as a workaround. No warning lights appeared initially, but the issue has worsened and is now frequent at operating temperature. Diagnosis: On January 28, 2026, Seminole GM (1405 N Milt Phillips, Seminole, OK 74868; 405-382-6130) diagnosed a defective valve body requiring replacement. Quote: - Valve Body Control Module (Part #24065357): $687.48 - Transmission Fluid (12 qt @ $10.92): $131.04 - Labor (diagnosis + pan/filter/relearn): $805.50 - Supplies/taxes: ~$140 - Total: $1,763.94 Dealer confirmed this is a common issue; photos of quote available for upload. Safety Risks: At highway speeds, delayed/no upshifts can cause: - Sudden inability to accelerate (merging, passing, hills) - Harsh engagement leading to wheel slip or loss of control - Potential limp mode entry, stranding in low gears This intermittent warm-only failure is unpredictable and dangerous. Context: This matches widespread complaints on 2023-2025 GM HD trucks with the 10L1000 (forums: DuramaxForum, Reddit r/Duramax/r/Silverado, GM-Trucks.com), involving valve body wear/pressure loss. Earlier years had related recalls (e.g., NHTSA 24V-797 for valve issues),

  • 2023 CHEVROLET TAHOE
    - Grand Forks, ND

    When I started my car at home, all of the dash warning lights came on, one after another. I put the car in reverse and started backing out of my driveway. I tried to stop but there were NO BRAKES! I slowly pulled back into my driveway and turned the car off. I had to take off work that day because I didn't dare to drive the car. The next day I started the car up and the check engine light was on. Luckily, I had brakes and I could go to work. Now, a day later, my engine light is not on. I made an appointment at the dealership. They can't get me in until mid February so I'm stuck with this problem, not knowing if the brakes are going to fail while driving. Oddly enough, when talking to a co-worker who has a 2023 Chevrolet Suburban, she recently had the same exact problem with her car. She has an appointment scheduled as well. I also read a complaint on this website that had identical problems. This car only has 8500 miles on it. It's still new! Someone is going to be killed or hurt very badly if this ever happens while driving. Please look into this.

    - Carroll, IA

    The suburban pulls to side. I got it into the service center and they tried to fix the alignment but when we got it back it still does it. So im not driving it til it gets a second opinion because its definitely not the alignment if it is still doing it. So I dont feel safe driving it with me or especially my kids in it.

    - Barry, IL

    I've taken my car in now 4 times to Chevy dealers just to be told there was nothing wrong. Turnes out that my torque converter (transmission) is going bad. And I can't get a Chevy dealer to honor my almost expired warranty.
