Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“By design this truck will turn off my trailer brakes when there is an issue with anything associated with the anti lock brake system. I have had two near misses, catastrophic accidents in the last two weeks as a result of this condition. I load this machine up to its maximum trailer carrying capacity on a daily basis. This machine is operated in the mountains often. The 2 near misses were as described here. 1st: I was approaching a stop sign with a highway cross road. Cross traffic did not have to stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10950145, filed 2017-02, 174,000 miles“The transmission control module shut down in the process of me driving. I could not even move my truck out of the highway. Had to have it towed. General Motors isn’t even producing this part even though thousands of people are having this same problem with trucks made from 2009 through 2015. This problem could prove to be deadly if the module goes out in heavy traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #11525733, filed 2023-06“The plastic dash on my vehicle is cracking majorly. There is nothing GM is doing to fix this issue. However, if the cracking continues to get worse it could cause harm me the driver and passengers in the vehicle. GM should have to submit the formula in which was used to create this plastic dash because it is cracking from the sun.”
NHTSA complaint #11417956, filed 2021-05“The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet SILVERADO 2500. After starting the vehicle, only the external roof LED cab light on the passenger side would illuminate, but the driver side light would not. The contact indicated that the failure was intermittent. Also, after starting the vehicle, the service traction control, service stabilitrack, service trailer brake system, and ABS warning indicators illuminated. The cause of the failures was not determined. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 38,000.”
NHTSA complaint #11075265, filed 2018-02, 38,000 miles“The transmission control module is not communicating with the ECM and the braking system the stabilitrac and traction control are not working truck goes into “limp” mode while driving”
