My truck is a 2019 Silverado rst 5.3 crew. I’m really loving the truck. However, I’m plagued with bad luck. Coming from a 2018 f150 that was bought back from me. I was hoping to be trouble free for a while....

 

It sucks when that happens, I hear you. I had two Ford F-150's and both were fantastic. I'm having no mechanical issues with my 2019 RST Z71, but I know it can be a hit and miss. You just seem to have the worst luck.

What you've described.. I had that in my Audi A4. Sometimes there's pulsating and the pedal would push back up. The car apparently thought the four tires were locked up but I was actually parked. Kind of strange to me.

Anyhow.. two visits within a six-month period is unacceptable. Of all the new cars and trucks I've bought, I have not once had to take a car in for warranty repairs. Two Audi, a Benz, two Isuzu, a VW, two Ford, and now this Chevrolet. I'd be furious if I had to take a car in for repairs!

This is exactly what’s happening to me. Or when I’m driving the brake pedal has a hard but spongy feel with no throw and feels difficult to slow the truck down. What did they do to remedy your Audi?

Since it wasn't a daily occurrence.. more like a weekly thing.. I didn't do anything to it and I didn't see it as a safety issue either. It was more of an annoyance. I think something is telling your truck the tires are locked up, at least that's what it feels like.

The saga continues. They called me to come pick it up today. They fixed the steering column. Everything else they had no answers. None. I drop off the loaner and go to my truck. They scratched the hell out of it and now have to have it professionally detailed. Back in a loaner. Service manager brought me in to his office and asked me what was going on with his service writers. He gave me his card and said to deal directly with him from now on. I showed him all my videos/pictures and described my issues. We went and tested another truck and he agrees there’s something wrong with my brakes but they don’t know what. Ughhh. He promised to take care of me and make it right. I just want it fixed. I’m expecting a call from Chevy on Monday. I’m sure they’re gonna ask me what I want. Besides fixing it of course, I’m trying to figure out what I should tell them. I think for starters an extended warranty. My screen keeps blacking out or gets really dark to where it’s difficult to see it. I’m afraid they haven’t figured out all the bugs yet with it so if they install a new one I may still have these issues. I need some advice

While I agree there are issues that arise with every make/model. However, they’re already replacing my steering column and I have other unresolved issues that I feel are no small beans. Three service visits in less than two months is not a good start. In most eyes it’s unacceptable. What am I to expect in the long term?

I also came from a 2018 F150 5.0L. My 6th Ford and worst one ever. At least it's not burning a qt of oil in 3000 mi. and they're not talking about ripping the engine out of your new truck.

I switched to an AT4 with 6.2L.  It's amazing how smooth the 10spd is compared to the one in my F150.

Give the dealer a chance to get things right. So far I feel I made the right move.

I agree, the transmission is much smoother on the Chevy compared to my ford. I like just about everything better on the Chevy then the ford. I’m hoping the service manager is true to his word

I thought about it a little more and I'm wondering if your noise is the solenoid that keeps the column shifter from moving out of park. When you press on the brake pedal, the solenoid activates. It's definitely an audible noise even when working correctly. If there's something wrong with the part or it's incorrectly mounted, it could create excessive noise.

Man, wow. Weird noise. Never heard that. Your truck really has some funky stuff going on. Glad you got it escalated.

Holy crap. I think that’s it. I just went outside to check mine and my driver side has lots of play where as the passenger is much tighter

      Slate Electric Truck

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      Interesting pivot.

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
