Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When the rear doors are opened on the truck, the interior lights do not come on which is a hassle when securing an infant in a car seat. Further to this, the door ajar symbol on the dash does not come on for either rear door, it does come on for the front doors. I talked to GM about this and they said that since it's a WT model with the base lighting there are no rear door lights or sensors. I found another person with the same model truck where there dealer found the same problem but fixed it.”
NHTSA complaint #11628938, filed 2024-12“There is apparently a known issue on the WT Work Truck trim of the Silverado EV trucks where the factory wiring harness was assembled incorrectly. This prevents the truck from knowing when the rear doors are open vs closed. If only one (or even both) rear doors are open, all the doors may automatically lock (depending on auto-locking settings), potentially locking the driver out of the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11654001, filed 2025-04“Rear door sensors do not work. No dash light or dome light to indicate if a door is open or adjar. If a child is in the back seat doors could be left open and the driver would not know.”
