| Jun 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | On [XXX] the automatic tailgate on my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado began opening and closing without reason. This obviously poses a potential safety issue. After investigating, I found that there is a recall on 2020 to 2024 Silverados, recall # N232426400. I called Penske Chevrolet in Indianapolis to schedule a time for them to confirm the tailgate switch short and execute the recall service. I was informed by Penske that my specific VIN was not included in the recall. This is not acceptable. Reporting indicates there are a number of other Silverado owners in the same position. Please investigate, as the current state of the recall is most certainly not inclusive of all vehicles that are affected. There should be no hesitation by Chevrolet to broaden the recall INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE | I take my truck in for regular service at my local Chevy dealership. When I found out about the recall on my engine back in April I immediately took my truck in. Was advised that they would address the issue. They did a regular maintenance and told me that they just used higher viscosity oil. I will be taking my truck in for the 3rd maintenance tomorrow 6/13/25. My vehicle status still shows that the recall needs to be addressed. I feel that I should park my truck due to the information provided on the recall of losing propulsion at any given time without notice. I also want to note that there is a noise coming from my engine that shouldn’t be there. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | GM has been manufacturing Silverado Pickup trucks with faulty transmission valve bodies for several years. There has been ongoing issues for several years with the defective Valve Body part. I purchase a 2023 for my business. It is presently at a dealership waiting on the part. It is my understanding GM has so many of these issues they can't keep up with the parts. I am told it could be weeks or months to get this part. Online you can see countless others who have waiting 2-3 months for a replacement Valve Body. How can they keep making the trucks with these defective parts. I still have to pay my $1,300 monthly payment while I have no use of my vehicle and they do not pay the full cost of a rental. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | This is the third time since the purchase date of July 2023, that my Diesel 1500 Silverado has gone into "Reduced Engine Power" while driving. The first date was August 2024, while traveling down the interstate. The check engine light came on. My maximum speed was reduced to 50mph, and the transmission shifting was very jerky. This was extremely dangerous with the flow of traffic traveling 70+ mph. I returned to the dealer where the vehicle sat on the lot for approximately 60 days awaiting the part (Valve Body) from GM. Components were repaired through warranty. Fast forward to February 2025, "Reduced Engine Power" notification came on again with the code P0747, P700. Returned to dealer, and after a week of sitting on the lot, the technician could not duplicate the code. I requested that a new fuel filter be replaced for piece of mind. Today, 3 mos. later, as I was backing out of my driveway, my truck did not shift/engage into Reverse. I was able to roll into the road & put it in Drive, however it went into "Reduced Engine Power." The vehicle will have to be towed, at my expense, I'm sure, to further diagnose the cause. The truck does not move when shifted into Reverse, and pressure is applied to the pedal. It is extremely concerning knowing a national recall on identical GM components has been reported, and yet I have had identical issues without resolution. Despite the known problems and safety risks, especially with a child in the vehicle during each failure, I’ve been left without consistent or timely support. I am requesting immediate assistance in diagnosing and repairing this vehicle, as well as a formal explanation of why this recurring issue has not triggered a broader response or replacement. At this point, I’m also considering pursuing further action through GM corporate or a consumer protection agency if a permanent resolution is not reached. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

The dealer indicated that the codes showed an issue with the transmission control module. It is currently at the dealer to be repaired. The vehicle has 51917 miles and is still under power train warranty. There was no warning or indication something was about to happen prior to the incident. The truck is a 2023 Silverado 1500 with the 2.7 liter Turbo engine with the GM 8 speed transmission. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | In August 2024 my 6.2 Chevrolet Silverado motor blew up. I was driving uphill when all the sudden it made a very loud sound like I had floored it and I had not. The engine revved really, really really high red line then it flashed across my dash to turn off the motor and the vehicle just shut itself off.. It left me stranded in the middle of the road and had to be towed to a Chevrolet dealer. It took them approximately 3 weeks to diagnose it as a catastrophic engine failure. And several more weeks to replace the motor, radiator and coolant lines. There was engine pieces in the radiator. Chevrolet refused to reimburse me my full cost of the rental that I had to get until they approved me a loaner.. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
