The truck was parked in my home driveway monday afternoon. It was locked. On wednesday 2/24/21 our neighbor alerted my wife that there was smoke coming from the truck. We ran out there, but it was already heavily smoking and we could hear crackling and popping noises. Shortly after the truck was in flames. The fire department arrived, put out the flames. The fire marshal did an inspection and indicated it was likely an electrical fire near the tailgate/hitch/license plate.

While driving to school which is approx 70 miles from my house, I was approx 10 miles from my end location and had been driving for 1 hour and 15 minutes without issues. I was driving on I-70 at 75 MPH when the truck completely shut down. The engine shut off, brakes went out, steering locked, all electrical shut off. The truck was dead for approx 4 seconds when it kicked back on on its own. The truck continued down the road like nothing had happened. The truck did the same thing about 3 miles after the first time the truck died. There were no more incidents during that trip. Later that same day I was pulling into kroger parking lot turning into a parking spot at about 5 MPH when the truck completely shut down again. The truck was dead for approx 3-5 seconds each time with completely shutdown before completely restarting on its own and continuing like nothing happened.
Driving truck and noticed a jerk when accelerating on 1st and 2nd gear causing the vehicle to have a delayed acceleration could cause accidents in traffic. Also when shifting from reverse to drive the truck jerks violently as if the transmission can't engage or dropped and has the delayed issue forementioned the main screen on the vehicle keeps cycling turns on and off repeatedly causing distraction and makes the vehicle computer system unusable
1.drivetrain issue: at the 1st. Start of the day, when shifting into d (drive gear) ; upon accelerating, the trucks transmission drops off between 1st and 2nd gear as if it were pausing for 1-2 seconds, then truck surges forward issue started the day I drove off the lot. Thought it was truck just working out a glitch, but has always persisted. 2. Electrical issue: power mirrors; when power mirrors are folding inward mirrors do not close at the same time, started the day I drove off the lot. As time has passed it now has become an even larger issue, the power motor in mirror runs continually after it has been open or closed as well as mirror tilting when in reverse. Very distracting. 3. Collision censor: issue started within last 90 days; I can be driving down the road/ highway at any time with no other obstacles in my area, nothing around my truck on any of the four sides,truck will sound warning alarm as well as the display in the dash. I make sure all censors are all clean of any dirt-ice-snow, very troubling when driving as it makes one think there is on coming obstacles.
Back up camera becomes "fuzzy" when put in reverse in the dark. This happens every time in the dark when there no lights outside/environment. This is really dangerous because what if someone walks in the back of the truck, and I can't see them because of the "fussy" camera.

One week after buying the truck in october 2019 an engine light came on regarding the break system, too the truck in and in a few days I had it back after reprograming the computer. 27 jan 2021 after leaving work the breaks felt strange but with no alert I went on home. Coming up to a traffic light I tried to stop the truck but had no breaks, I proceeded through another red light with no breaks pumping the break peddle I finally had a little break and got the truck pulled over. I turned off the truck and called the dealership with no answer. I called and had my wife to come pick me up, she arrived and we decided to try and start the truck and see if the breaks would hold. We did make it to the dealership and they have had the truck for two days with no real answer as to what is going on! I called seven times 28 jan and finally had to go see what was going on all I got was we are working on it. Called three times jan 29 with no reply and had to stop by and I they would tell me was that is was a module and coding issue. I asked for a loan vehicle and they said they would look into it and respond in the afternoon...we shall see very very frustrating.
Rear view camera on my 2019 silverado wt goes in and out when in reverse. It puts several lines which creating a fuzzy view on the screen. The picture on the screen prevents a clear picture of what's going on. When the breaks are applied the image clears up and once the breaks are release the fuzzy image returns.according to the dealership gm is working to fix the problem but has not come up with a solution. After reading several forums several other customers are experiencing the same issue. My kids drive the vehicle and this is major concern
Back up camera is fuzzy and intermittently displays service rear vision camera . Chevrolet dealer has no answer says gm doesn't offer a repair option
Display module goes dark, un-operative, extremely dangerous when using bluetooth during a call or using navigation setting while driving. Power windows unresponsive (not stopping at a particular level, going all the way down) while driving. Substandard windshield inside trim, foam coming off. * transmission fluid leak while parked. Truck has been in the dealership shop many times for repeated same issues, specially the display screen module, two weeks after purchase july 2019 to present- dec 2020.
I have had truck now in 5 times for each and parking brake errors and still not fixed . This is a high safety concern for my wife and me and anyone else who rides or drives on roads with us !!! This truck needs the lemon law enacted especially on my truck if no one else wants it !! Need out of this contract and get a safer vehicle to get around in , am a disabled vet and don't need more problems in my life or possibly of killing us or anyone else because of this vehicle!!!
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.
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.
Door lock actuators.. This can cause a child to open the door and fall out. No excuses on a 2019 vehicle.
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.
Vehicle lost all power while driving for 4-5 seconds.
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.
Vehicle camera system failed once and displayed needs repair service. Working at the moment
Truck would not start it would just keep cranking
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
Service brake system error messages appeared on the dic.
When I went to start the vehicle 'service brake assist", 'trailer brake malfunction (no trailer attached) and "service ecs" warnings illuminated on the instrument panel. I acknowledged the codes and was driving away and the brakes didn't work. I had to stand on the peddles to stop. The check engine light came on also. I restarted the vehicle and the brakes worked but the check engine light has stayed on. Only have ~8000 miles on vehicle.
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.
When backing up the rear view camera flash's out everytime I press the brakes and also there are lines through the screen.

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.
Out of nowhere multiple warning lights illuminated. Esc, brake system failure, trailer brake failure, do not go over 62 MPH. Brakes were near non functioning.
When backing the vehicle at night the camera screen is so bright it blinds the driver and chevy has no way of adjusting the screen brightness.as of 1-27-2020 chevrolet is failing to address the problem and it will cause a accident
Purchased new vehicle with less than 4,000 miles was running fine when parked. When it was cranked to go home listed ESC failure, service steering column lock, trailering system failure, lane departure disabled, speed limited to 60 MPH. I was able to get home, but the brakes were so hard that it was extremely difficult to stop. Local dealer it was purchased through "fixed it" less than 1,500 miles later I'm having the same issue! Obd has the codes c0021, c0021, p25a2, p25a2, p0606. I do not feel safe driving this truck! If that issue were to happen approaching an intersection I would have no way of stopping in time. Ridiculous.
While traveling backwards in reverse, the backup camera flickers, becomes fuzzy, or has a white line through the 7" touchscreen anytime the brakes are applied.
