Owner report 11500163 · 2023-01-04 (January 4, 2023)
I was following a vehicle at 3-4 car lengths at 35 MPH. The vehicle in front made an aggressive stop and although I immediately saw the incident, I could not stop in time with a full panic stop by pressing the brakes hard to the floor. My brakes felt greasy and even though I had enough separation, the truck did not decelerate much. I felt the anti-lock mechanism but it did not seem to slow the vehicle.

Owner report 11574193 · 2024-02-27 (February 27, 2024)
Message will appear that states : trailer brake system needs serviced “ When that appears and I am currently towing a trailer I lose all power to trailer including the brakes. I can’t signal I can’t use the trailer brakes. I’m towing 14,000 lbs and when I’m going down a 6% grade this is very dangerous. I have had vehicle in twice for this issue , first time I was told they replaced a controller, 2nd time they said no problems detected. For me to lose all power to tow vehicle is unacceptable and extremely dangerous

Owner report 11672825 · 2025-07-11 (July 11, 2025)
I recieved a recall notice for this vehicle. When I went to my local dealership {Michael Hohl GMC Carson City Nevada} I was told that I would be better off to wait until my transmission fails because the repair parts are almost non existant. I am now reluctant to drive my $90,000 truck because of an inevitable rear wheel lockup situation.

Owner report 11683165 · 2025-08-26 (August 26, 2025)
Rear window leaks severely causing electrical issues. This is a known issue for almost 10 years now with multiple TSB’s about this problem across this vehicle platform. The repair for this is over $1000 often times. This should be a recall. We the consumers should not be stuck footing this bill when GM is well aware that this window causes issues and refuses to make a fix to keep this from happening. Especially, seeing that it typically does not seem to happen during the warranty period of the vehicle. My vehicle is less than 3 years old but no…

Issue: Tailgate unlatches unexpectedly Erratic behavior consistent with electronic release switch malfunction I am reporting a safety concern involving the tailgate on my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD. The tailgate exhibits erratic behavior and has unlatched unexpectedly without user input. I can support this claim with documented video evidence I took while the vehicle was parked. This condition is consistent with the defect described in General Motors safety recall N232426400, which involves water intrusion into the tailgate exterior ele…

Owner report 11736291 · 2026-05-07 (May 7, 2026)
My steering feels loose and truck doesn't sways and wanders. It wasn't that way when I got it and I only put like 20000 miles on it. It shouldn't be having these issues. Other models 23-24 have a recall for this same issue.
