Anyone else regret buying a Chevy?

MyWay · February 12, 2020

2019 Custom V6

4x4 with limited slip

2,000 miles

Nothing but problems.

5 months old.

1) original headlamp assembly’s where loaded with dust. Dealer replaced both.

2) vibration with load on engine from dash area. Dealer found a trans harness rubbing on floorboard.

3) infotainment radio froze up 3 times since new. Embarrassing. Shut off engine and wait few minutes to fix.

4) Apple CarPlay works when it wants.

5) if I don’t use the stupid electronic tailgate for, let’s say a few days, it takes me a few hits of the button for it to actually release. I’ve now made it a habit to just open it once a day.

6) went to put running boards on, went under truck and trans fluid everywhere!! turns out a transfer case seal failed.

if I didn’t already add running boards, tonno, rear wheel well liners, and rubber liners inside, I would just take the beating on trade and never step foot in a Chevy dealership again.

There's already a thread on this topic called Regrets. I have a 2019 RST I've had since last March. Love it and no regrets. No issues. Best truck I've owned and I've had many new GM trucks.

Life is pretty short. Lots of things that will always be out of your hands.

Ownership of a vehicle is something that you can control, buy something that you like, no one will judge you for jumping camp if you do not like your truck.

Finding others with the same mindset will never solve the problems you are having, move on and enjoy your day rather than hating what you drive.

I personally like my 18, been a very solid truck, so far, completely different story with the 14, and 16 I had though.

But you could go to a Ram, Ford or Toyota page and find people with problems too. Sh&t happens with vehicles.

Ford and ram will be similar, toyota not so much, there is no comparison on reliable with toyota, but they are so outdated, that is the trade off.

I'm kind of in the same boat, but not as bad as the OP. Mine is in the shop right now to have the safety tech fixed from the previous recall, also having the new recall done. Evidently it had previously had the bcm code, so that is not reassuring.

I haven't had most of the major issues, outside of the safety tech and parking sensors not working or going haywire, but I have had numerous issues with the infotainment system and tons of recalls forna vehicle I have had less than 3 months.

I love the truck and am sure I will be fine with it after I get it back, just not a good new car experience in the least.

No regrets buying my GM, my Dodge product on the other hand = never again

OP. There are lemon laws for people like you. Personally, I love my '16. 55K miles and not one issue... except for the bimbo on her cell phone that hit me.... Hope things work out for you.

2019 LT TB with 31K. Other than a blown oil cooler line this truck has been great. Best GM truck I have had. This is the fourth. I had an 01,04,07 and now a 19.

Well I already had my 2019 repurchased. I’m on a 2020 now and it does have better build quality. Keeping my fingers crossed. Your lift gate isn’t working properly because of the tonno cover. Ask me how I know?

Yea right Have you been reading the Sierra issues??? Did you happen to know the Silverados and Sierras are rolling off the same assembly line at the Ft. Wayne plant? Complaint I have with the Sierra is the horrible SIM card looking fender wells and the hideous clown grille

Definitely regret buying mine. It has 900 miles on it and has been in the shop twice, for a total of 3 weeks. Once for trans issues, and a speaker rattling, and this time for the rear window leak. Good times.
