Owner report 11654001 · 2025-04-10 (April 10, 2025)
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. As a first responder I immediately recognize this as a significant child safety issue: if a parent were to get out to check on their child in the back…

Owner report 11687225 · 2025-09-14 (September 14, 2025)
The front trunk latch mechanism repeatedly fails. When this occurs, the vehicle believes the trunk is open and will not let you drive in normal mode. It forces you to proceed in limp mode which is dangerous. The 12v battery has to be reset to have the sensor redetect the close latch. Reports from multiple forum sources show this to be a widespread problem and currently dealer are replacing with the same mechanism and the problems reoccur.

Owner report 11691009 · 2025-10-02 (October 2, 2025)
Under heavy acceleration the vehicle swerves from lane to lane and the operator is unable to counter the steering. The behavior continues until the acceleration is halted. The vehicle was grounded due to it being deemed unsafe by the originating dealership technician and repairs were attempted but were unsuccessful. The dealership had another vehicle like mine in inventory so they tested that one and found the same erratic behavior but rather than deeming it to be a problem they declared the steering issue it to be normal for that model. This i…
