Any updates on this?  I bought a 2019 Silverado back in March, 2020.  Only have 5K miles on it and the other day I got "Service Steering Column Lock" in the message center.  While I'm not noticing anything wrong with the steering itself, at the same time this message comes on, the Driver's side front and rear windows will not go up or down.  Passenger side windows work fine.  Also, after I shut the truck off and open the door, the radio doesn't turn off.  Even if I lock the doors and walk away, it's still going.

 

This whole situations seems to come and go.  It went away for a day or two, then came back.  I called and made an appointment for Monday and of course, the error is gone now and the windows and radio work fine.  Hoping the issue comes back when it's time to drop my truck off.  Regardless I'd assume there will be some DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) set in the Truck's memory.

 

Wondering if anyone else had this issue and what the dealership had to do to fix it.

 

Thanks!

What did the dealer say about the knocking.  My 2020 Sierra AT4 HD Diesel has started making the noise at 7,500 miles.  I have to go back to the dealer for the 5th time soon to get the brake pads replaced since they squeal really bad.  So many problems with this new truck.

We need to create a new thread on the squealing brakes, mine does it as well and I reported it a few days after I bought the truck last September and the dealers said oh its nothing they all do that. Bull. My Toyota sure doesn’t and neither should this truck that cost double what I paid for a Tundra.

I had two Tundras before this GMC with no problems, but since Toyota doesn't make anything as powerful I had to switch.  After trying to fix the brakes 3 times myself I found a service bulletin on one of the threads.  I think it was 20NA020.  Local GMC dealer replaced the pads with ones with a different compound.  Had mine done last week at no charge and so far they don't squeal.  The other GMC dealer I bought it from said normal noise and wasn't aware of the bulletin.  It came out in February 2020 and has been updated several times.  Print it and bring it with you.  The pads were actually back ordered due to demand so I had to wait a couple of weeks.

I’ll look around here for it but that service bulletin was for Clunking Noise from Rear of Vehicle (Re-torque Leaf Spring Bolts)

I have had mine in once for this and now again it is locked up tight - The dealer claimed they just found some random codes the first time and could not find a problem.  1142 mile later it's broken again awaiting towing back to the dealer

I purchased a 2022 Silverado 2500 two weeks ago and experienced the first “Service Steering Column Lock” notice at about 170 miles. I took the truck into the dealership and they pulled the column apart. Two days later I had a new Steering lock installed. Today it failed again at 460 miles. Needless to say the truck is going back in for repair. I will wait until it occurs a third time which I am sure it will and start the Lemon law process. This is my first and last Chevy truck. I am beyond disappointed. 
 

Hope all of y'all with this problem have better luck than I have had. Its a shame to have a nearly 60k truck that doesn’t make it to 500 miles before having issues.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
