I have this same issue, 2019 Silverado RST Crew Cab, had it since day one of picking the truck up.  First time in for service they said it was all fixed after a day, but it all remained.  Finally after going back and forth with Dealer service and having another dealer do a ride a long to verify the sounds, my dealership service took the truck in again to fix it.  This time they had the truck for 81 days.  After day 30 I contacted GM for Lemon Law and worked with their Sr. Advisor.  On day 50 of the truck being in the shop, GM agreed to start a buyback, in which I told them I was wanting a refund and not another truck as I was thinking it would have the same issues (as you guys have shown on here, I was thinking correctly).  After about another 1-2 weeks going back and forth with GM they said they would do a MSRP to MSRP swap, I again said no I would like a refund.  So now I'm in the process of this with the lawyers and pursuing a refund under Lemon Law.  Under my state's lemon law, after 30 days of vehicle in for service customer can request a refund or replacement, customer's choosing.

 

I had no idea of the statement from GM that you guys showed on here that states to stop fixing until a solution is out.  After learning this I went to GM and got my build sheet and sure enough, mine has the SU4 - AXLE FRT

Got a call from my dealership last week and they say they have a fix, GM has ordered the parts and they will let me know when to bring my truck in. Don't know what  parts were ordered, but when I find out I will let you know.  Hope it works this time

So is it repaired to your satisfaction?

I have had the same issue since the 400 mile mark.  They have replaced the differential twice with no resolution.  I also have transmission issues that my truck has been in the shop for 30 days this time alone.  It's been in the shop for over 55 days total and I bought it on April 9th 2109.  GM refused my buyback and said they'd just keep on fixing it under warranty.  This is my 4th Silverado and I will never own another GM vehicle.   The differential still makes the chirping noise at higher speeds now but is still loud enough to hear over the engine and radio.  When you drive the truck for about an hour the transmission will slam in to 1st gear as you slow down to come to a stop.  Feels like someone rear ends my truck.  After being told it was normal, GM admits there is a major problem and now shipping my dealership additional parts to throw another band aid at it and hope I give up I guess.  It slammed so hard once that the sales manager wouldn't drive my truck because he thought it was unsafe to drive.  That was 2 months ago.  I was on the highway running 72 going around a curve and it slammed into gear and the truck shook. I thought the car beside me had hit me almost causing a wreck.  My son was asleep in the back and woke up thinking we wrecked.  They did offer me additional warranty but can't fix either issues I have under the initial warranty.  I have several videos of the issues that I'll post in a few.

I've tried to let them do the right thing.  Not gonna happen evidently.  I've already been in contact with one.  Thanks.

I was in the same boat... I tried to let them do the right thing as well and nothing comes of it.  Hopefully yours works out for you.  Remember, under Lemon Law you pay nothing to lawyer, you get 100% of outcome and GM will cover all lawyer costs.

If GM was developing a fix for this issue, I would think they would have one by now... REALLY pisses me off

I started a claim with a Lemon Law attorney yesterday. I went through GM first and they were little to no help at all through this. Ill keep you posted throughout this journey now.

If you don't mind me asking, how much do you see spending on the attorney?

$0 .... You should NEVER pay for a Lawyer for Lemon Law.  It's written into the Law that all Attorney costs are covered by the Manufacturer.

A good Lemon Law Attorney will review your case and if it's not strong, they won't take it, because of how the law is written.

    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
