After crossing over a rough part of the road at an intersection, I heard a noise. I pulled over to visually inspect and I didn't see anything obvious. Since I was on the interstate, I drove to the next exit to find a safe place to park. The noise stopped but my brakes completely failed. I pressed the brakes and there was no pressure behind the pedal. I used the parking brake to come to a stop and drove very slowly to a store nearby. The brake pressure eventually returned. Had the truck towed to a GM dealership that can do Medium Duty repairs. I received a text that my brake hardware and pads…
I pulled off the interstate after traveling 70mph with cruise control on. I then pulled into the Walmart parking lot and started to enter a parking spot rolling at 5mph and accidentally brushed the resume cruise control and the truck shot me forward and I came within inches of the car ahead of me because the truck suddenly started accelerating.
Conditions: Night, Raining, apx 50*F. Traveling on the highway apx 70 MPH with a loaded 18ft enclosed trailer (within the advertised towing limits of the truck). I accelerated to pass a tractor trailer. the transmission attempted to downshift, resulting in a loud bang and shudder. I attempted to accelerate once more. This time the transmission tried to shift, the rear wheels stopped turning for a second or two, resulting in a slide and requiring steering input to maintain the vehicle traveling straight. The rear wheels unlocked and began turning again. I coasted down to apx 55mph and attempted…
On XXX, at midday, in the Haggen parking lot in [XXX], I unlocked the passenger door with the silver exterior door button. At that moment the side-view camera display glitched, and afterwards the exterior door buttons stopped working. The key fob and the interior door buttons still worked. Restarting the infotainment system did not fix it, and the passive-unlock setting was not the cause. After I left the truck locked and asleep for about 20 minutes, the buttons and cameras both worked again. I use the side cameras for lane centering while driving. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM…
On October 9, 2026, I was driving my 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST on a rural road at approximately 35–54 mph when the engine unexpectedly shut off without warning. There were no warning messages or indications of a problem before the engine stopped running. The instrument cluster remained illuminated, but the vehicle lost engine power and propulsion. I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop safely without an accident or injuries. However, the sudden loss of engine power while traveling at road speed created a serious safety concern. After the vehicle stopped, I attempted to restart the…
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.
While traveling down the road at approximately 65 mph, I lost all power to the truck while towing an empty 3500lb trailer. I was unable to restart vehicle and had to have it towed to a dealership at my expense.
Driving down interstate about 65 the light on dash came on stated low engine oil stop engine at same time could smell smoke and saw smoke coming from under hood. I pulled over as fast as I could and by that time the smoke was pouring out from under hood. I turned engine off and I popped hood got out and slowly opened in case was on fire. It was not but I saw oil all over my engine and dripping from under vehicle. The front tire was covered with oil as well as down side of my truck. I saw where I pulled over a long oil streak. Oil kept leaking oil and large puddle formed under engine on side of…
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.
My vehicle was serviced for the Chevy L87 recall a couple of thousand miles ago. It currently has 13343 miles on it and I was driving down the road and then all of a sudden the engine just stopped and my vehicle lost power leaving me stranded on a state route XXX in [XXX], which is a dangerous route with nowhere to pull off. This issue has been going on for years now and Chevy needs to make this right. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
