My sincerest apologies. I didn’t know that this forum was for positive Chevy/GMC posts only and anything negative was not allowed. Sounds like the Biden administration’s rules for their press briefing questions. My sincerest pardon for all of the negative posts for all of the things that keep piling up that are breaking and going wrong on my $64,000 pick up truck that is less than three months old. I guess I should be happy about it that I can take it in and have everything fixed Over an indefinite amount of service days while it is still under warranty. I do wonder however how much all of this is going to cost me when it all keeps breaking once the warranty runs out. If this is going wrong now after only three months, what will it be like after three years? I am going to take the best advice that was posted on here and go trade this pile in for something else. Very sad as I have always purchased GM products but it looks like I will be making a change. To the moderator, if you value these products so much and champion General Motors vehicles and their quality, perhaps the next time you post a reply to someone such as myself, perhaps you should include a phone number or a link or an email to someone from General Motors that can be contacted directly in regards to a brand new vehicle with this many items that need to be addressed/repaired. Now since I am sure that the Biden administration will boot me from this forum and delete this post. I will bid everyone a farewell from a previous 35year, very loyal GM owner.

Oh and one more thing that’ll probably make you can get a tear in your eye. The interior lights absolutely suck in this thing. They are very dim and are fixed. At least the ones in my 2005 they were adjustable and could move around. These things are so very dim and the floor Gets no light at all so if you drop something good luck in finding it. General Motors really dropped the ball. They must have a lot of guys like you snowflakes who come in and try to redesign these things getting rid of the better interior lighting but making sure to put a button on the dashboard to lower the tailgate from inside of the truck. Yeah there is a real needed technological advancement.

My sincerest apologies for hurting your feelings or offending you by speaking negatively of something that you love so very much. But funny thing, since I did purchase this vehicle and spent my hard earned money on it, guess what I have a right to voice my opinion on it and it happens to be negative so my apologies for your shedding tears in your pillow About my opinion about this vehicle. Now yours may be the most wonderful pick up truck ever built and I am so very happy for you. But if you think that everyone’s truck that they buy that is a Chevy is the greatest thing in the whole wide world, then you must think that there are rivers of chocolate and raining skittles every day and that Uncle Joe isn’t a few fries short of a happy meal. I am thrilled that you have such a wonderful outlook on life, but for most of us it is usually a slap in the face and a realization that most of the time things don’t go your way. So yes I spent over $60,000 on a truck that I think is a total piece of crap. My opinion, my fact. And no I do not wish for you to help me on my truck, and thank you especially for not wanting to charge me considering you are not an auto mechanic nor a licensed technician for General Motors. So you can take your insults and your offer and shove it! I have always owned Chevys and the last three got me over 500,000 miles on the original drivetrain. The drivetrain on this one may be just fine, but everything else about it is about as reliable as Hunter Biden showing up for work every day. MAGA 2024

My new 2023 Chevy Silverado is a POS. I test drove it and being a bit older I paid attention to the steering and braking and the power of the drivetrain. I didn’t bring along a 12 year old to go through the whole video game system screen and all the electronics and digital stuff on this pile of crap. The audio which includes radio and the phone audio when tied to the truck only works half of the time, sometimes even when the phone is tied to the truck it will pick up but have no audio and I have lost calls because of it and some were business related. The silver buttons on the door handles only unlock the truck about 20% of the time, sometimes they will only unlock one door, sometimes three doors, sometimes none, the rest of the time they are completely non-functional,. The parking brake decides to set its self on any kind of incline including the tiny one on my own driveway. Unfortunately the parking brake when set pressing the parking brake release button even while stepping on the brake only works half of the time, the rest of the time I have to step on the gas and do a little burn out in my driveway to get the parking brake to release. The start button sometimes works on the first push, sometimes I have to push it three or four times and then say a prayer that this thing actually started, and before anyone asks, yes I’m pushing firmly down on the break and no I do not have dainty little womanly fingers. I step on the break hard and I push the button hard. Different settings seem to change by themselves without even changing or touching anything. There are too many problems with this electrical and digital system to even list here as it just keeps getting longer. I’ve only had this truck for 2 1/2 months. I am a contractor and having my truck in the shop for even one day is very difficult. As the list keeps on growing, I am fearing to think how many days they will have to have it to make all the repairs. Not exactly the reliability that General Motors has been known for since I have owned them for the last 30 years. It’s also not what I would expect for having spent $60,000 on a truck to have this much stuff wrong with it in such a short amount of time.

I couldn’t agree more. That button and the engine stop and having to push it after you start the truck every time is the most stupid engineering piece since the ejection seat on a helicopter.
