From cold start and slowing down truck shifts erratically. Sometimes so violent when I try to accelerate from a stop the rpms rise..truck doesn't move right away..then its like something engages and it goes..making hard clunking noise..today my back tires actually peeled out and the rear end was hopping when it engaged.the issue is only when taking off..especially when first started up..yes I let it idle down 1st..and when stopping it is a shuddering/jerking stop..sometimes it feels like ive been hit.when these events take place I have no control of truck as it is lurching forward in fast jerky manner.

Silverado 1500

  • 40,000 miles
The truck has had the battery die a few times over the past couple weeks for no apparent reason. Then we let it sit for a week and go to start it and all of our warning lights come on and lots of warnings start flashing across the screen stating reduced engine output, etc. The truck won't start. We hook it up to my husbands work van to charge the battery (per the request of the dealer) and it finally starts, but when it starts, the entire instrument cluster was out. We couldn't see anything. We let it sit overnight and started it again the next day and still nothing on the instrument cluster. The dealer sent a tow to pick it up. The look it over and can't find anything wrong with it. They disconnect the battery, reconnect the battery and now say it's fine. They want to charge us a fee because they couldn't find anything wrong with the truck, but obviously something was wrong or this wouldn't have happened.

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 2,000 miles
My truck is just over a year old. Has had 4 recalls on the braking system alone. One for excessive brake pad wear. The rear fenders have outward dents on them causing the paint to chip away. Dealership replaced drivers side, waiting to do passenger side. Rear spoiler was leaking and flooded the back seat of the truck was repaired. Front passenger window became inoperable, ( repaired) rear dome light not working correctly ( not repaired) as noted on the vehicle history it had a hard shift out of park. A year later still does. When there is multiple recalls and reprogramming of braking systems I do not feel safe driving with my self in the car let alone my kids or my wife. I live in a very mountain area. I am scared to death to pull my boat or trailers down the mountains in fear of the brakes that have been worked on so many times in a year actually work.. I can see one or maybe two times but not 5 or 6.

Silverado 1500

  • 12,600 miles
Add me to the service ESC group.... 12600 miles 2019 Silverado 5.3 this happened after the recall was completed at my local Chevy dealer, the truck through code P25A2 (the engine and transmission system is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the engine electrical system, including the charging and starting system that monitors and controls the engine starting system and 12V battery charging system. If the charge system light stays on, or comes on while driving, there may be a problem with the electrical charging system. Driving while this light is on could drain the battery. Several other lights came on as well, tc, break towing ect. A message stating use caution, do not drive over 62 mph also came on. During this the breaks became mushy and the truck was difficult to stop. I will be taking the truck back to the Chevy dealership in hopes they can fix the issue before myself or another person gets hurt in a crash caused by these issues.

The 7 inch infotainment system which controls the lighting, blinker controls and various other controls to include on star connectivity will randomly not work upon start up and not work at all until the vehicle is shut off for a at least a couple of minutes. Some times the blinkers work properly and sometimes they don't I have video proof of this however the file is too large to down load.. I am worried the the computer controlling the lighting of the vehicle will fail.. thank you

Silverado 1500

  • 8,807 miles
On Dec 16 I started my vehicle via the remote start. I then got in and my ecs, ABS, traction control, steering and a lot more lights light up on the dashboard. I went to back it up I couldnt stop it unless I stuck my foot in it hard and I couldnt even steer it so I wouldnt wreck. Called onstar they said to drive carefully but needs to be serviced within 7days. I parked it found another way to work and had my vehicle towed to the dealership. They said it was fixed and was just a battery issues and they fixed a couple of recalls. Then on Jan 26 not even a month later I was at the grocery store and started the truck, started backing up and the dashboard started lighting warnings and I couldnt get the truck to stop. Finally with everything I had I got it to stop. I had to get the vehicle home cause it was Sunday so I put on my flashers drove less than 30mph and got it home thank goodness without causing a wreck. Had it towed back to another dealer and you know this dealer blamed the other dealer said they didnt do something right and they just reset the system. A week later, and again having it towed with my own insurance cause onstar wouldnt tow it to the dealer I wanted. I wasnt even offered a loaner vehicle.

Silverado 1500

I was in the parking lot at a grocery store in motion pulling out of a parking spot and my brakes and steering got very hard. I had to mash the brake pedal as hard as I could to get the truck to stop. It was hard to steer as well. There was lots of error messages and lights on. Service ESC, top speed 62mph, service trailer brake. Had to wait 30 minutes and start truck. It runs now but check engine light is on. This is the second time this has happened. This first time I was in a drive thru and had to push the truck out of the way. If this happened on the highway or a busy street it could be deadly. I am not comfortable driving this truck anymore.
