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’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
