The antilock brake system (ABS), brakes, and electronic stability control system (ESC) might not illuminate. This could cause the driver to not know if any of these systems are inoperable.

Silverado 1500

  • 600 miles
Infotainment system does not work all the time. Xm radio has no sound at all, or as I am driving down the road the xm radio vulume on its own goes so low you can not hear it and then you can not turn it up or down with the volume control on the dash or the one on the steering wheel. To correct this issue one has to take thier eyes off the road and use thier phone if it is paired with the system or turn the radio to fm or am. After doing this the volume control works on xm. This has happened since I got this vehilce Nov 30,2020 until now on and off.

This 2021 Silverado hand a complete electical faulure leaving the vehicle dead in the in the road at night. We had no power at all, no warning flashers in the dark at 9:00 pm at night. We were almost hit by a car coming around coner as we broke down at the intersection were no street lights were. This truck has less than 500 miles on it and has already had the full engine replaced, problems with the infotanment system and now a complete electrical shutdown. We were unable to get the vehicle to do anything and waited for two hours in the road for a wreaker to arrive.
