Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“All fuel injectors in bank 1 became faulty and need replacing immediately with little to no warning of issues. Check engine light came on after multiple injectors became faulty. Check engine light came on while traveling on a straight road after 2 minutes of highway travel going 70 MPH. Consumer stated I'd like to add the following information to my report. After looking further on the NHTSA website, I came across information in the 'manufacturer communications' section of the website pertaining to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's. …”
NHTSA complaint #11269972, filed 2019-10, 2 miles“Engine hesitation, or misfiring. Jerking, or transmission shuttering when engine is at low RPM and on incline. (I.e. When traveling about 45mph and start up a hill, the RPM's are about 1300, and the transmission doesn't gear down, so it starts shuttering until you give it more acceleration than usual.) after dealing with this issue for nearly 8 months and 15k miles, I believe this safety issue should be recalled. Dealer originally acknowledge the problem but was unsure of the cause. After 5 repair attempts the dealer say they can't duplicate and the vehicle performs as designed.”
NHTSA complaint #11112166, filed 2018-07, 8,400 miles“Vehicle hesitation and surges in acceleration. This condition is a safety issue as it hesitates pulling into traffic, surges in acceleration have caused loss of tire traction on ice covered roadways nearly resulting in a collision. Dealers have acknowledged an issue but advise they are still waiting on a fix from GM.”
