Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“had catastrophic brake failure got a message that said. brake system malfunction no deceleration available traveling 75 with no ability to stop after rear end accident Dealership can not replicate issu or pull any code from computers after acciden. it has thrown warning on and. can't stop have to hit shoulder and coast for 1-3 miles till can get slow enough to slam into park”
“I was at a stop light. Let my foot off brake vehicle revved up and I launched into a vehicle in front of me. Check engine light was on before. Blinking, esc fault , forward collision detection was not working, traction control service light. Throttle body control issue detected code P0205. Valve timing issues detected codes p0353 p0355 p129f p0300. The wire above my shock bolt is completely cut into. GM did an investigation and said no issues were detected at all. There is a TSB for the wire chafing”
“While traveling in bumper to bumper highway traffic in my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado RST, I attempted to accelerate and the vehicle suddenly malfunctioned. I experienced sever loss/restriction of propulsion and the vehicle would not respond normally to accelerator input. I was able to maneuver toward the shoulder of the road while avoiding a major multi-car pile up involving innocent motorists. When I attempted to stop, I did not have normal braking ability and was unable to stop in the manner I expected. I had to use the shoulder of the highway to slow the truck down until I could come to a complete stop. This created an immediate risk of serious or fatal collision on the highway, and as I maneuvered the truck out of traffic to the side of the road. Had I been unable to reach the shoulder of the road, I could have been struck by surrounding traffic. Had this failure occured un an urban area or at an intersection, near pedestrians, or at a school bus stop- I could have seriously injured or killed people or myself. After I was able to come to a complete stop. I shut it off and turned it back on, then the truck read there was no gas left (I had a 1/2 tank). This…”
“All kinds of warning signals come up like 4 wheel drive on, off, roll up and down driver window, no brake pads detected, no washer fluid, service esc, service 4 wheel drive, traction control on and off, radio blacks out, lights dim, feels like rear wheels lock up and release, transmission feels like it's going to shake out of the truck. Dealership sold it like this and was sent back to be fixed and they said it was fixed and I was just stuck with it. They said they fixed the recalls and in fact did not”
“I replaced rear brakes and rotors after getting brake monitor warning on 2022 silverado 1500. I have been having problem with amount of force needed to stop truck for quite a while. The pads were not worn much at all but brake pad clips were broken on both sides of rear brakes. Rotors were rusted which looked as if rear brakes have not been contacting rotors. The brakes work significantly better now. I live in NC where rust is not serious problem. I feel there is a problem with rear brake hardware on these trucks”
“Truck has been experiencing intermittent stalling since 1200 miles. Was reported to the dealer and manufacturer. At approximately 20,000 miles (Spring 2025) the truck stalled out at high speed on the highway at approximately 70 mph near Tennessee during a work trip. When stalled, truck lost its ability to steer and break causing the truck to drive off the road and only stopped due to the truck rolling to a stop off-road. Luckily nothing was seriously damaged and it was a rural area with minimal traffic and flat grass lands on the side of the highway.”
