I just wanted to let everyone know that's this is gonna be the 1st recall on this shitty Silverados. Mine is braking instantly while running!!! Barely had this truck for 1 month and I already regret it :( That parking brake turning on by itself was happening since the beginning.  I just went to another webpage of complaints on this pickups and it turns out same thing happened to another gentleman and turns out his TCCM was defective.  The definition apparently of that is the Transmission Module of these Silverados.... he had to go return his pickup and have that module replaced

I’m really sorry for your situation and it sucks that it’s costing you two new tires. However, as you said, it’s specifically called out in your owners manual. I guess it’s a lesson for everyone not t

Yep, probably correct. Being it's with the brakes and a safety issue, it now becomes a recall instead of a service bulletin.  Haven't had it happen on mine yet (thank goodness) and I'm 3 mos. in my RST.

Dump the truck fast, when all these issues get out, your value will be nothing. 

Why are you still here since you say you dumped your Chevy? Is it just to bash Chevy trucks? Go out and drive your perfect Raptor if you even bought one.               

Make sure you post any issues you are having with the Raptor on here, oh that's right we wont hear anything about that.

GM’s third-quarter vehicle sales volume dropped by 14.7 percent from the previous year, the company said. Sales fell across every region and every brand, with Cadillac seeing the smallest decline in sales among its marquee brands, 3.9 percent, from the previous year.

yes, just here to bash Chevy and help some of the people who made the same mistake I did. I should have never bought a brand that can’t out sell a fiat truck. So, go back to your cry room snow flakes.

Really. 

Snow flakes Chevy sad.

You are in that category because you are in the same boat it seems that bought a new series truck and then whine about it.

You owners of the new design 2019's are the test crowd.

Sorry but that's the truth IMO.

 

Nobody likes a smart a$$, especially one that rags on a product they own.

Dude really??? Have you been on the other truck forums especially RAM??? They are having many serious issues. All are for that fact. Glad I'm not having the problems other brands are. As for GM, my emergency brake doesn't come on, rear slider window doesn't leak, drivetrain doesn't clunk but, I hate it for those that have these problems and hope they get it sorted out.

 GM had a very late start on selling the 19's compared to other brands and was a contributing factor on 1st qtr. sales vs. RAM. Ford sells one truck, RAM sells one truck but GM sells two. Combine GM's Silverado/Sierra sales and that puts the goat where? Where it's always been.  Ford has out sold Silverado for many years (even though combining Silverado/Sierra trucks GM was the leader for the majority of those years) but doesn't make Ford the superior truck does it?  Is your Silverado a lemon?  If so, take a loss, trade it in on a goat then come back and cry us. Terrible bud...

I don’t disagree with you. The point is the early build trucks are a POS. GM should fix the junk instead of cover up the problems with software and de-sensitizing systems suck as park assist, lane keep assist, pedestrian alert etc...FYI, when you trade, the dealer, no matter the brand, gets the service record. They see all the BS going on. They had all 5 of my visits and why. In four months, it was in the should 7 days!  And for the record, I really liked the Silverado, it’s a great start but GM is NOT fixing the electrical problems nor the programming. 

I did sell it and bought a Raptor. All the systems work and of course all vehicles have there problems. Good luck, I’ll keep a tow rope ready for ya.

I have a 2019 LD and I always use my parking brake every time I park. I have noticed an issue where when I crank the truck my parking brake light on the dash is not illuminated. It always illuminates when I engage the parking brake, but probably 1/10 times when I crank up there is no brake light on dash. Because of this I drove a few miles the other day with it on and didn’t even get a warning chime!

 Parking brake comes in for 3 reasons, all legit I think.. 1. Your holding down there brake when you turn off the truck (keyless). 2. Your in hitch view mode and shift into park.  3. You shake the shit out of the truck.. not sure about the last one but once I shook the truck (that was parked and off)  aggressively and I heard the brakes engage..

 I just got my 2019 Crew RST in Novemeber.  My kids typically jump in the truck before my wife or I do.  3 times I was in the garage when it happened.  The kids opened the back doors to get in, closed the door.  I had to put something else in the back with them reopened the back door then closed it again.  Thats when I heard the parking brake actuator in-gauge. One time the truck was pulled in the garage, the other 2 times it was backed in so its not one door or the other.  truck was unlocked in the garage all three times.  

Just today, my wife called me when she was driving my truck and told me the same thing happened to her.  She was putting groceries in the back floor and she heard something go off. She first opened the back door on one side before opening the drivers door.  Upon getting in the truck, she noticed the E brake was in gauged.

That explains it, I use hitch view to see when I'm into the garage far enough. I've been trying to figure out why the brake engages every time I park in the garage.

Anyone know how to manually override the parking brake?

 

Had the system fail this weekend to the on position. Had to disconnect the battery to reset the system and get it working again.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      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.

      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.
