Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The seat shifts during a right and/or left turn. I was told at the dealership, this was a problem, however there has not been a recall. I jerk with the seat during the turns. I am afraid that if I have an accident or the truck rolls over in an accident the seat will not be secure and may crush me or the driver.”
NHTSA complaint #11349226, filed 2020-08, 59,000 miles“I was driving and the brake strength went extremely low. I took it to the auto shop and they said the brake vacuum pump went had. Also, the driver side seat has a rock to it when your weight is shifted sometimes.”
NHTSA complaint #11316634, filed 2020-03, 60,000 miles“It seems that my vehicle is leaking somewhere around either the sunroof or the xm antenna. I already had the leak around the third brake light which not only filled the lens up with water and kept blowing bulbs for my third brake light fixed. But from the research I've done it seems that a lot of different year and models of the silverado have been doing so. But some how when it rains or I wash my truck or go thru a car wash I get water dripping from my headliner onto my heated seats, down behind my dash and water puddling up into my floorboard, on the drivers side. …”
NHTSA complaint #11219922, filed 2019-06, 39,000 miles“My driver’s seat started moving slightly then by the end of the day it was rocking back and forth at least 2 inches. The dealer said it’s not under warranty and it would be $1,200 to repair it. I had it welded but the weld didn’t hold. I am afraid this is a big safety hazard and should be covered especially since the truck is only 5 years old. I only weigh 200 lbs and I am the only one who’s ever driven the truck. There is no reason the seat should be broken. Consumer stated vehicle not included in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11441230, filed 2021-11“Have been experiencing a disconcerting side to side driver seat movement when navigating corners. Had truck looked at as there have been numerous online posted issues with this issue. Upon inspection, was told the seat frame was broken at a weld point and seat would need to be replaced. Also told they have replaced Many broken seat frames for the year and model of my Silverado. Note, this truck has only 16,000 miles on it and is maintained like new.”
