2019 RST 5.3,  2.5 months in and so far I’m very pleased.  However, my anxiety is persistent after reading about so many other’s having all these issues.

What I find ironic is that the cost of autos are so high because of technology yet so many of the issues are technology related. ?

I have no regrets even though the first 30 days spent in shop for a wire harness feeding the front camera had an issue of a pin crimped so tight it would not seat properly but my mechanic stuck with the issue scratching his head after removing a harness out of a new one on the lot because he was having trouble getting one and it did not work so he put my harness in the other truck and it worked fine so he kept digging and found that pin, He too replace front camera a couple times before he started a deep dive into the harness so jus wundering if that is the problem people are having with their trucks, Read my post on Very weird electrical issue on 2019 Sierra SLT , Kudos to my mechanic for sticking with this head scratching problem a resolving it, I had the final brake recall done tonight and no issues with the lane assist or the lane departure systems like others have had either (knock on wood) But really I love everything about this truck and while at the dealer today I looked at the 2020's and with same options they are bout $2000 higher...

I feel the same way. 2020 AT4. Owned it for 5 months, 6000 miles. Coming from a 160,000 mile trouble free 09 Tacoma I bought new in 08 I think I was spoiled.

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.

Get rid of it. I have a 2017 All Terain. Nothing but problems. Brake pump oil cooler lines transmission shifts like a farm Tractor. rusting running boards. Dash that makes a sound like a stone hits windsheild on hyway. power seat sloppiness.shark fin leaked rear top stop light leaked. rattling adaptive valve on exhaust. List WILL go on. Have a friend  that`s a gm Tech. All the things that fail all fail on these platforms. hes accually gave me a list of things that go. problem is they replace under warrenty same for same so few years down the line fail again usually off of warranty. Gm dropped the ball on these trucks. Alot of die hard fans on gm on these boards are living in denial. they will all fail with same issues on all chevy`s and gmc`s. there 60,000 grand rattle boxes.

In the process. you wouldn`t believe how much they depreciate. I`am thinking people are doing there research on these trucks. realisticly I donrt think there is any brands that really have any quality. Always been a North American truck guy. But times have changed. I may just lease from now on and get rid of them after lease. But Gm will be the last vehicle I would ever buy. I understand things break , but not the first week. I have had nothing but problems with this junk. Its time there were class actions here in Canada also for there products. Seems the states build them there and ship them here without any accountability on there products. We as Canadians just pay and pay. At least the States have some balls to go after them for there shoddy builds.

Similar situation. I came from a Tundra with 225k miles and only had to replace a radiator during that time.  I have begun to feel very confident that my Silverado will never see that many trouble free miles.  Probably would be best if I stayed off the trouble shooting part of the forum...but I just can’t!

I was really strongly considering a Sierra. Heck, I probably would have bought one if we had a decent lemon law in Canada. I know the payload, towing and fuel economy would be better than my Tundra. However, there's a lot to be said for reliability in my book. Also, my SR5 was about $10-20k CAD less than an Elevation would have been and it has all the interior features I want or need. 

 

My brother recently bought a 2019 SLT so I hope he doesn't encounter any issues.

Keep in mind there is jus a handful of unhappy Chevy/GMC people here compared to millions of trucks sold so if yur basing buy'n a Chevy or GMC cuz unhappy people on a discussion group you will never buy a truck cuz head over to the Ford, Dodge and Toyota groups and see those unhappy folks alsp….

Quite the opposite when heading over to a Toyota forum.  Owners spend their hard earned quality time actually enjoying their bulletproof reliable vehicles and posting pics of great outdoor adventures.

P.S. ALL vehicles have issues.

I had  a 2014 before this.  Truck was excellent.  Reliable...owned it 4 years.  Was never in shop.

I only sold it because I was "kicking tires" on new trucks...and the dealership offered me too much to say no.

Coincidentally, that 2014 was built in Mexico.

My 2000 silverado which I still own and my 17y/o drives was built in Canada.  That truck has been nothing but reliable.  It's why I didn't sell it.

Lol “a hand full” you can scout every forum and even Edmonds reviews along with other sites regarding these trucks. Same issues across the board. I suggest you remember these posts next time your truck  fails bet you it will be one of the same issues everybody else is having.

I sure do...

2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Crew.

after the second week, back of inside was soaked, thought the window was left open in the rain, nope the back window leaked like no tomorrow.  Dealer had it several days. dried it our bur the top is stained, I bitched but they wouldnt replace it. They resealed the window, left globs of hardened glue on outer glass, edge of bed for me to scrap and clean up.  The the air cleaner sensor was going crazy, checked and time or two reset twice in 1500mi.  speedo and tech go nutz, cable harness came loose under hood causing comms issue to ecu.  Now and final: I was in a minor accident, no fault to me or GM.  Some one blew a stop and hit me dead on the Rt rear wheel.  My axle and diff said to be f'd up.  GM cancelled the order twice! said they cant get the complete rear made and send to me.  WTF.  So I am now getting the only one found in the nation.... a used rear from a repair shop because GM cant get make one.  I bought or leased 12 trucks / car's since 2000 and wont do it again.  I'm going DODGE after this one is repaired.  I've been down since 12-20-2019 when hit.  Loaners loaners...... If GM wont take care if it's buyers F'em.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
