CHEVROLET Complaints

vehicle gives false blind side alerts on driver side. Happens when no objects are approaching. Happens when vehicles pass from opposite direction. System otherwise works as advertised.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 30,434. It was later discovered upon checking Carfax, Auto Check, and VIN Inspect that the mileage was 134,000.

The vehicle’s heating system operates intermittently or takes an excessive amount of time to produce heat, reducing cabin visibility and comfort in cold conditions and creating a potential safety concern.

The vehicle information system, Radio, Maps, Phone goes uncontrolled, Changes volume, radio station changes randomly and sometimes won't allow the driver to even turn off the radio; makes calls from phone contacts while driving randomly and there's NO WAY to hang up! Unable to change time on screen, plus other random electronic actions. This distracts the driver in numerous ways, diverting attention from driving while trying to manage the issue; unable to hang-up a random phone call while driving.

Vehicle unexpectedly stalled 10/5/2024 while driving at 45 mph on a highway. It would not restart. We were able to get to the side of the road and call for a tow truck. It was towed to the dealer where we purchased. It sat in the parking lot for a few days and they were able to restart it. The dealer could not find anything wrong. On 12/19/2025 the vehicle again unexpectedly stalled doing 50 mph on a three lane highway. It would not start. With a lot of beeping and cutting off upset drivers we were able to get the car off the road. We again had it towed to the dealer where we bought it new. They found there was a faulty fuel pump driver module. They replaced the module and we picked up and paid $386.62. It seems to be running fine now, but found this issue is a recall for many equinoxes with the same car years but my vin is not listed in the recall. I also see the replacement modules are being recalled. This is a dangerous situation for myself, my family, passengers and others on the road. This vehicle dies with no warning. No lights go on. It just plain stops running. No one should have to pay for this repair no matter the vin. Note this equinox has less than 60,000 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH on a dirt road in Death Valley National Park for 30 miles, the passenger’s side front shock failed, then the driver’s side front shock and driver’s side rear shock failed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who declined to repair the vehicle under the new vehicle warranty. The dealer determined that the front struts and shocks had failed, and there was axle damage. The rear driver’s side wheel was also damaged. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 3,999.

The vehicle intermittently enters a reduced power/limp mode resulting in a sudden loss of acceleration while driving. This has occurred multiple times, including while towing, when the vehicle was unable to safely maintain or reach highway speeds. The loss of power creates a dangerous condition when merging or driving in traffic. Warning messages indicating reduced engine power have appeared, and diagnostic trouble codes have cleared without repair. Despite this, the problem continues to reoccur. The condition is intermittent and not consistently reproducible during dealer diagnostics. The vehicle is currently available for inspection.

Onstar telematic module. Paying monthly for a safety service that does not work. My truck has 20k miles on it and has been in the shop multiple times for issues that should not have been issues. No warnings, Onstar module just stopped functioning. Known issue but, I have to spend more hours at my dealership and pay $150 diagnostics fee for them to tell me what Onstar already confirmed. All safety features disabled, all satellite and wireless features disabled. GM is now saying it will not be covered under warranty. Again, the truck has 20k miles and this is a MAJOR safety issue that is being paid for monthly and was a major factor in the decision to purchase this vehicle.

The vehicle’s display screen intermittently goes black, rendering the rearview camera inoperative. This failure significantly impairs rear visibility and creates a safety hazard while reversing
