While putting bottom seat cover on my new truck in the back seat, I pushed the seat cover under the back rest and hit a very sharp piece of metal and cut my finger. I wrapped my finger up and continued the install. On the other side of the truck I hit another sharp piece of metal behind the back rest and cut another finger. No medical treatment was required. I dont know if the metal is part of the seat bracket or what, I cannot see it.

Days after purchasing the vehicle brand new back in 2023, it began having issues with what they thought was the new 4 cylinder mode working itself in or electrical shifting needed to be replaced… After numerous years of being stalled out on highways, unnecessary repairs made, lose of business revenue, and more. It turned out to be a faulty engine with bad bearings, & levers. Over time, got worse & left unseen causing it to officially blow. The shutdown modes prior were all left undetected or resolved by dealership service stations. After being…

Owner report 11654274 · 2025-04-12 (April 12, 2025)
A trailer hitch has an sticker stating the Tow Vehicle Maximum Trailer rating for the hitch. Owner's manual and towing safety stickers on the driver's side door only state the maximum dead weight for a hitch...that is the weight applied if a trailer is attached to the tow vehicle's hitch ball. This sticker give you maximum if a trailer is installed with a weight distribution hitch assembly. On my 2025 Silverado, as well on four other Silverados I viewed at a dealer, and a few GMC Sierras, also viewed at dealers, the sticker is applied; however,…

Owner report 11654704 · 2025-04-15 (April 15, 2025)
The "Auto-stop" feature of the engine apparently automatically turns itself on every time the engine is started. there is no warning light or other indication that it is on except a very small light ON THE SWITCH TO SHUT OFF. The auto-stop function itself is inherently unsafe because it shuts the engine off and doesn't restart it until the operator removes his foot from the brake.... -sometimes it takes several seconds to restart. If you take your foot off from the pedal and then put it back on and the vehicle rolls back a bit, it may not star…
