What 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The backup camera system blackout for half a second and shows up in another position as if the vehicle moved sideways as backup straight. Completely throwing me off direction which make the entire experience full off uncertainty. This has happened since the day I purchased it in 2024 from McNeil chevrolet and they only wasted my time telling me that they reset the computer and SHOULD BE FIXED ( never fixed it !!) Constantly asked about a fix for backup camera when getting other services and recall work done but never fixed or even a apology. They just add on the bill that they washed my truck which never ever happened (lies). So I tried a different dealership (Ballas) and they did replace the 0w20 weight oil that wasn't supposed to be ran in my 6.6 gas motor that Swanton Ballas had put in it, trust the dealership professional they state in their ads now had the wrong oil in it for 1-2 thousand miles. So this dealership looked into the camera system and seen the issue but wouldn't verify it by a simple video or even just put it in writing (Protecting the manufacturer company from responsibility). I contacted GM and I was told that I can get it fixed when they have a fix and here's 30,000 GM points for the waiting. I have already waited nearly 3 years and still no fix. I paid $95,000 for a truck that should have been $70,000 because I originally purchased a 2024 diesel truck from Yark in [XXX] and on my way home with this brand new truck the engine light comes on. I called and the salesperson told me to bring it back right away, and when I got there I told him I don't want it being a problem right away after that he reinsured me diesel motors don't have any issues. He just said that my money was already in the bank. After months of a check engine light coming on constantly and having to go back to have the dealership turn it off GM agreed to build me another truck but I don't get any money back from the 10k motor. GM will not back their own work!!!!!!! Scamming INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFOR
My brake rotors are damaged to the point where they have to be replaced at 36,000 miles this doesn’t sound right to me because I had the same truck in a 2018 and I had over 60,000 miles on it and the brakes were still like new. I was just trying to find out if they’re having a problem with their brake rotors. I never told anything with it and I know other people that tow with the same truck and they have twice as many miles and their brakes are still good.
Instrument cluster black out, flickering brightly, and beeping distracting driver. Can not see safety warnings, speed, gear shifting, seat belt status , and more. This creates confusion, distraction, and flashes brightly while driving at night. It is blinding and a safety issue.
Recall on my truck. The truck batteries were damaged due to updates from GM. GM did not cover the repair costs of the batteries due to the recall.

The contact's husband owned a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

The contact stated that the two front and two side air bags deployed. The Police Department, Sheriff's Office, and the Fire Department were called, and the firemen used the jaws of life to extract the contact's husband from the vehicle. A Police report was filed. Medical attention was needed, and the contact's husband was taken by ambulance and then airlifted to a hospital.

Due to the Fuel Pump Power Control Module (Part number 13554821) failure, my vehicle stalled in the middle of a turn while pulling a 10,000 pound RV. This caused me to lose both power steering and braking capabilities. From what I gather, this part is part of a "phased" initiative recall (see N252516900 Fuel Pump Power Control Module). This part was seemingly installed in all or most of GM SUVs and Trucks since 2021. Unfortunately, only some 2021-2023 models are under recall due to the "phased" nature of this recall. Meanwhile, all Heavy Duty trucks are driving around on our roadways, highways, and interstates, just like I was, towing heavy machinery, equipment, and RVs because both you and GM are dragging your feet on demanding these flawed modules be removed from these vehicles. In summation, virtually every GM SUV and truck on the road produced since 2021 is a ticking time bomb that could stall at any moment and disable both power steering and braking capability. If thats not bad enough, concerned owners, such as myself, are stonewalled with the words "there is no active recall on your vehicle " both by GM and your very website. The "phased" nature of this recall is unacceptable and is putting lives at risk. Had I been traveling at highway speeds when this failure occurred, while towing a heavy load, with braking traffic in front of me or a sharp turn, I would not have been able to stop or turn. This is an urgent matter and should be addressed accordingly, not in a "phased" manner.
First started around 4 to 6000 miles, felt a shuttering between 50 and 65 mph. Shattering lasted from 10 to maybe 30 seconds let off the fuel and reapplied still there on one or two occasions. RPMs were approximately 2000 RPM shattering stopped in our PMs went down to 1500. This is occurred many times taken to a dealership always get same result, no problem found. Problem always occurs just after a transmission shift which I can tell by RPM. When I apply gas shuttering sometimes increases not always. Also noticed that sometimes shifting on a flat surface 65 miles an hour engine will speed up to almost 2000 RPM and when it goes to shift back, I get a clunk or sometimes a shutter normal cruising is about 1500 RPM at 65 mile an hour. I didn’t notice towing an empty trailer about 2600 pounds shattering seemed worse. With no Trailer I sometimes get erratic shifting where RPM goes 1500 to 2000 to 2500 and then back down again then back up again then it can shift all the way back to 1500 RPM still maintaining 65 mph. Also another problem may be connected to transmission, but I have pulled out into traffic pushed on the pedal and it feels like the truck has no power push on the pedal a little bit more still no power and all of a sudden it’s like everything kicks in RPMs, increase rapidly and truck accelerates extremely fast, throwing things off the dash moving things on the floorboard. Sometimes I see that a downshift occurs and RPMs increase other times I see RPM staying right at the 2000 mark and it still occurs almost got rear ended a couple of times. Check engine light has been on one dealership said they pulled over 40 codes. Still they all claim can’t duplicate problem. Yes I agree it is random but with me watching telemeter and County shift points biggest problem area is fourth gear fifth gear and sixth gear.
