What owners report
Owners of this model year most often report engine and transmission problems. Complaints describe engine noise or stall conditions that in some cases led to engine replacement, and transmission shuddering, harsh shifting or wheel lock-up that dealers traced to the valve body or the transmission itself. Many of these reports come in between roughly 10,000 and 80,000 miles, with a smaller group of electrical and infotainment complaints appearing at low mileage.
- Engine
Engine noise, stalling and engine replacement
- 247 complaints (38%)
- median 42,500 mi at 3.4 yrs old (40 state mileage)
- 5 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $7,600 (median of 10 quotes)
- filed 2022–2026
Owners describe an abnormal knocking or ticking sound from the engine compartment, sometimes followed by stalling, loss of motive power or a no-start condition. Complaints mention metal debris found in the oil filter, failed lifters, and dealers advising that the engine needed to be repaired or replaced, in some cases with parts on backorder. Some owners received notice of NHTSA campaign 25V274000 but were told the remedy parts were not yet available. Reported from about 4,000 miles up to roughly 146,000 miles, with many reports between 40,000 and 75,000 miles.
What to check: Listen for ticking or knocking at cold start and during a test drive, and check service records for engine repairs or replacement. Ask whether recall 25V274000 applies to the VIN and whether it has been completed.

- owner-quoted repair $3,000 (median of 9 quotes)
- filed 2022–2026
Owners report shuddering and hard shifts, unintended gear changes, lurching on acceleration and messages such as "Conditions not Correct for Shift." Some describe the rear wheels locking up while driving, and dealers diagnosed valve body, control module or complete transmission failure; a few complaints mention a fluid flush was the first step tried. Several owners linked the symptoms to transmission control valve recalls but said their VIN was not included. Mostly reported between about 13,000 and 120,000 miles, with many between 50,000 and 80,000 miles.
Recall 24V797000Recall 26V0830004 related service bulletins
What to check: Drive at light and moderate throttle from a stop and at highway speed to feel for shudder or harsh shifts, and ask whether the transmission fluid has been serviced. Have the dealer confirm whether recalls 24V797000 or 26V083000 apply and were completed.

Stalling or sudden loss of power with warning messages
- 97 complaints (15%)
- median 56,000 mi at 3.5 yrs old (27 state mileage)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $5,134 (median of 6 quotes)
- filed 2021–2026
Complaints describe the vehicle losing motive power or stalling while driving, sometimes with "Shift to Neutral," "Restart Vehicle" or "Reduced Power" messages and a check engine light. In some cases the engine restarted after pulling over, in others the vehicle would not restart and was towed; dealers varied from finding nothing to diagnosing valve body, fuel or engine faults. Spread across the sample from roughly 16,000 to 102,000 miles, including some highway-speed events.
What to check: Ask for a scan tool history of stored codes and any throttle, fuel injection or transmission control work; note whether the symptom occurs on the highway or when hauling.

Instrument panel, battery and no-start electrical faults
- 67 complaints (10%)
- median 39,000 mi at 3.4 yrs old (25 state mileage)
- 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2021–2026
Owners describe a blank instrument cluster, intermittent no-start conditions with clicking from the starter, dead batteries and messages about low battery power. Some complaints mention a melted fuse block wire and battery damage, and others a tailgate switch draining the battery; dealers sometimes could not reproduce the fault and batteries were replaced without resolving it. Reported from about 10,000 miles up to roughly 100,000 miles, with several reports under 25,000 miles.
What to check: Check that the cluster, radio and cameras power up correctly on a cold start, and ask about battery and fuse block service history; aftermarket accessories wired into the vehicle are worth noting.

Buying note. A pre-purchase inspection focused on engine noise, transmission behavior and electrical function is worthwhile on this model year, along with a VIN check for open recalls and warranty or repair history. Ask for service records showing whether engine or transmission work has already been done.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified. Other counts refer to the sample. The excerpts come from NHTSA's public complaint records and are unverified; capitalisation is normalised, NHTSA staff notes are removed, and shortened text ends with “…”. Something wrong? Request a correction.
NHTSA recorded 656 consumer complaints for the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. 104 of the complaints include a mileage, and 60% of those were filed for vehicles with under 50,000 miles; the median is 36,750 miles. Of all complaints, 11 involved a crash, 6 a fire, 18 an injury, according to the filers. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns and 1,545 technical service bulletins for this model year. Compared with the other 15 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 model years that have at least 25 complaints and are old enough to compare, this one scores 60 out of 100, where 50 is a typical year for the model (typical for this model). The comparison allows for the era and for how long each year has had to collect complaints, but not for how many vehicles were sold.

Example complaints
Engine: “My engine shut off while driving down a highway. I had to coast into an uneven, steep ditch. If someone would have been behind me, it could have caused an accident. I have the 6.2 engine and followed the recall instructions. Dealer said motor was fine and around 7,000 miles later it failed. The oil weight change is not fixing these issues.”
NHTSA complaint #11733828, filed 2026-04Transmission and drivetrain: “Was just driving down the highway and without any warning at all my truck would not go while waiting at a stop light, it turns on and will go in drive but now it has an engine light on and has codes WITHOUT any warning while driving!!! How safe is that?! Especially when my children are in the vehicle. Not to mention its only FOUR years old”
NHTSA complaint #11768912, filed 2026-10Electrical system: “I have a 22022 Refresh Silverado 1500 High Country with 12,500 miles that gets a Service Transmission warning and kills the engine leaving it in the traffic. When trying to restart the truck it just keeps flashing errors and can't be restarted for about half hour. This has happened twice to me so far. The codes recorded are in the attached file.”
NHTSA complaint #11668285, filed 2025-06Other or unknown: “The rear 3 piece power slide window that is leaking water into the cab in my truck. I’ve called about a dozen different auto glass shops and this is apparently a common issue. It’s ruining my upholstery in my vehicle. GM wants to charge me 1,000+ to fix. This is unacceptable if it’s a common issue and something nobody can control. Please recall this issue.”
