NHTSA lists 1 safety recall and 122 owner complaints for the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado. Most complaints involve engine (57) and electrical system (32). The EPA rates it 16–26 mpg combined, and NHTSA gives it 5 stars overall.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV work trucks. The pedestrian alert sound system may not produce sound at a sufficient volume. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND ON LOW POWER TOOK TO DEALER THE CODE WAS MISFIRE CYLINDER 5 THEY FOUND CYLINDER BADLEY SCORRED SO THE REPLACED THE MOTOR AT 27000 MILES A 6.2 IN A 2025 SILVARADO 1500 TRAIL BOSS”
“The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The vehicle was restarted within seconds and the message "Push to Start" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.”
“The specific cause has not been identified. On XXX6, my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom LT Trail Boss unexpectedly rolled away while parked and unoccupied, striking another parked vehicle. The truck remains at Modern Chevrolet and is available for inspection. GM/ESIS opened a safety and product liability investigation and is arranging inspection/data retrieval. I parked at Walmart in [XXX], shut the truck off, exited, locked it, and walked away. Shortly afterward, I heard a sound resembling the key-fob-left-inside warning. My key fob was in my pocket, so I returned and saw the truck moving with no driver. Another person and I tried to stop it. I entered through the driver’s door and pressed Start/Stop several times, but it would not start while moving. It continued moving and struck another parked vehicle. Vehicle dropped off on XXX and Modern Chevrolet could not reproduce the incident or identify the cause. The service advisor stated it “came out of gear but don’t know why” and escalated it to GM. GM/ESIS plans to retrieve SDM/airbag data, and I requested any Tech II/MDI scan data. No warning lights, messages, or chimes were observed during the incident.…”
Towing, payload and dimensions aren’t in the EPA or NHTSA data, so we don’t list them.
