Silverado 1500

  • 3,300 miles
The following all takes place while driving the vehicle on the interstate and city, at higher rates of speed and when traveling at a slower speed - which is an extreme danger - every dash warning light came on and warning messages flash (brakes, steering, trailer, fuel, etc) roll from message to message, brakes get soft and hard to stop, truck tried to stall and slowed down like it was losing power (this happened while rolling at 45 mph), ac stopped working (fan working but cold air stops), truck lunged forward while engaging the brakes to slow down at a red light, steering definitely stiffer due to lack of power assist. These same messages and warning lights will also continue to flash when the truck is parked. This issue started at 3300 miles on July 8th, then it happened again July 24th, then again Aug 4th/5th.

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 800 miles
This vehicle was delivered to me in late March 2020. New smyrna beach Chevrolet sold me two faulty vehicles. The first they took back and now this second vehicles back up camera works intermittently from day one. GM nor the dealer ship can locate the replacement part and this has been on-going for 3 months now. I do not feel safe driving a vehicle that has a faulty camera. I fear that as a result, bodily injury could result to someone else. GM has failed to give me an eta on the part, failed to put me in a loaner vehicle, and failed to resolve the problem by offering adequate trade assistance to get me into a working vehicle.

I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 the back up camera is so bright at night time (the screen brightness and its white washed/ too high of contrast) that it makes it unsafe to back up at night time. I am blinded by the screen and cant even use the screen.

This is my second compliant, on 5/7/20, after my shift ended. The truck would not start. I call the sales person, we went over several steps and it still would not start. I called on star. She said will do a diagnostic. When she started every thing well out. I call back by phone after an half hour..they sent me a jumper. The next day I taken it to the dealer. They reset every thing. Said before I purchased it may have sat on the 6 month. I had it for weeks! on 5/II/20, I turned the engine off got out and locked the truck. A few seconds came back and unlock truck, open the door the radio were still on. After that it cut off. I was parted at bjs.

Silverado 1500 4-cyl

  • 55 miles
Brand new truck with only 450 miles. First incident was check engine light came on, brake pedal was really hard to press almost hit car infront of me. Second incident all lights came back up ABS, SRS, trailer brake module, parking brake, truck will not go faster than 42mph. And brake pedal was really hard again. Call onstar for a diagnostic and code came up, C05B0, P25A2. Check engine like came off. Went to dealer today and they said nothing can be done, because no light is on. Service advisor refuse to put scanner to read any stored code. Service advisor say it can be the computer is resenting, need to keep driving veh until check engine light comes back on again. No feel safe on new veh with no brakes twice.
