2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 front left axel seperated from vehicle on freeway causing abrupt jerk to left casing truck to crash, front wheel assyemby sepperated from truck
- Shelby, MI, USA
The ball joint for the front left tire broke while driving on a straight road and caused over $2,100 worth of damage to the wheel, axle, brake, etc. I had no warning or anything when this happened. It felt like my tire popped and when I pulled over, the wheel was still attached but was sitting at an awkward angle. The shop quoted me at $2,154 as there were 5 or 6 different parts they needed to repair including the ball joint, axle, brakes, brake sensors, rim, etc.

1st Time I was idling for 30+ minutes, truck was also making strange knocking noises, pulled on to a major highway and rear end locked up, cars were slamming on brakes, almost got killed. Took to shop left for 2 weeks, they said they could find no issues. I assumed they fixed problem, because there was no knocking any more. 3 weeks later, was idling for about 45minutes, pulled into traffic, dark, raining, rear en locked up. Almost got killed a second time. Took in for service and left truck. This needs to be investigated before someone gets killed!

Pulled out of a construction site after a work day and the wheels on my truck locked up right in the middle of the road. If I was pulling into a highway, I would not be writing this right now. The truck was idling for about 2 hours before I pulled out into traffic. The way the wheels stopped, it felt like the parking brake is engaging when I drive. Maybe this is some kind of limp mode to prevent damage. If that is the case, it is a very dangerous fail-safe to implement on a vehicle that people depend on for work. I do not think it is a coincidence that this is the first Silverado model with an electronic parking brake. Oh yah, and this just coincidentally happened 1000 miles after my bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. Also, GM customer service is just a call center in india. Don't bother calling them.
