Thanks for the response, I may have dealer talked into replacing the caliper next to see if that fixes it.

Booger T I see you posted this back in February. Are you still having this issue? What was the fix if the problems gone?

I am having a noise as well. Sounds like a dying elephant. Only happen when I first drive in the morning and especially on cooler mornings. Dealer states it’s brake dust but that’s awful loud to be br

Same issue since day one on mine when brakes are cold. Dealer says all vehicles do that [emoji849] and nothing can be done. I’ve never had a vehicle do this even with ceramic brakes. It sounds like

What a crock. All vehicles do that, my tuchus. I'm sure the rep at the dealer would be okay if their brand new vehicle did that? No way. Also, why does only ONE of my brake stations do this, and not a

Yes the problem still exists. In fact it has gotten much worse. Mainly does it first thing in the morning when backing out of garage. Also does it when first going forward after reverse. Does it at all temps but definitely worse when cold. I am done with this truck, new one was built this week and is in transit on a train somewhere. Should get it in a couple more weeks. I think my dealer is still waiting on GM to say there is a problem and what the fix is. In all fairness to dealer they did replace both rear rotors, calipers and brake pads to no avail.

Thanks for the reply but not what I wanted to hear. Good luck with the new truck!

Hopefully I won't get another one with the same problem. I've owned 15 new GM trucks over the years and have never had one make this kind of noise. A small squeak or squawk here and there can be expected but the wounded elephant sound is just too much to put up with day in and day out. I was wanting the new 3.0 diesel  any way so this was a good reason to get rid of it. Don't know what dealer plans on doing with it. Don't really care.

HI, am having issues with one of  the brakes on my TB dragging/squalling. Took to dealer and they determined it was the left rear making the noise, said that there was dust on rotors/pads. They decided to change pads on back brakes as a place to start. Had them done last Thursday. Still making noise, the colder it is the louder the noise. When first starting out from setting for a short period of time if you apply slight pressure to brakes it makes it all the time. Starting to get really annoying when I take off from stop sign or parking lot and my new truck makes a god awful noise and everyone turns and stares to see where it is coming from. Called dealer the day after they replaced pads and they basically said that they were waiting on someone else having the same problem and maybe GM would issue a bulletin  on what the fix is. I'm leaning toward a problem with the calipers or rotor but haven't got dealer convinced of that yet. Anyone else having any such problem?

Yup. Same problem. Could just be a little rust from moisture though. It goes away after a minute of driving. Gonna get an oil change soon. Gonna ask the service department about it. But yeah it is annoying as hell especially early on the morning when neighbors might still be sleeping.

My truck is going to the dealer tomorrow for a host of repairs, this being one of them. If they feed me this line, I'm going to tell them to put some upgraded pads on the rear brakes and then tell me they "all do that". 

Any updates?

Went in for my scheduled appointment, but apparently the dealer did not have it confirmed. They didn't have any loaners available, so I'm going back next week. The main thing I'm going in for is the dreaded rear window leak, so I'm not in too much of a rush to get that process going.

I don't believe that mine has anything to do with moisture and rust. I can drive to town and pull into a parking area and leave in 10 minutes and it still will make some noise.

I had them look at my rear brakes a few days ago when I was in for the rear window leak.

 

They fed me the line we’re all hearing here... “no visible signs of anything wrong after inspecting it, and could not replicate it. Be on your merry way, please, sir.”

Has anyone tried lubing brake components? 10 years ago my Mazda had this problem and lubing the caliper pins stopped it. It was a known problem and I only heard it in the morning and backing out.

I thought about lubing my disc, but I heard that is not too smart. [emoji851]
 
Interesting advices, though. [emoji1360]


In the case of the Mazda it boiled down to one idiot on the assembly line who just didn’t care about his job. All of the cars off the line for almost a year had no caliper pin lube and created a big headache for Mazda. It happens.

My 2020 High Country with 1400 miles on it has just started doing same thing, loud squeak backing out of the garage,.  Last week it was only backing up that made it squeak, now it’s doing it in drive as well.  Seems to go away after some driving,  but it’s painfully loud sometimes in parking garages etc.   turns heads for sure, going to the dealer next week to see what they can do.  Weak sauce if this was a problem that started in 2019 models, not to have a fix.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
