It seems that most at first didn't want to buy a new 2019 because of the stigma of new models having bugs.  It seems to me that those bugs are continuing into the following years as well.  Is it me or is there more posts on 21 and 22's having issues and not as many 2019's?

In my opinion, there is more chatter on the newer models because they seem to make up the majority of those that comment on here. If there were separate forums for the 2019 Silverado/Sierra, there would obviously be a difference in comments. I went from a 2017 Silverado to a 2019 Sierra. Mainly because of the major problems with the Silverado.

It was my first time buying a first-year model (and the unusual $10,000-off promotion).. and I can say it has more gremlins than all the other cars I've owned.. with most of them being third year models.

2019, 681 truck off the Silos plant. I  have had some dumb small issues but nothing that would leave me stranded. 

about to hit 40k (miles)this weekend.

I have 55k on my 2019.  I had back glass leak, and the parking assist has suddenly stopped working, like "light on the button is off and will not come on when I click it" not working.  Other than that, no complaints.

Did you ever get your parking sensors fixed? I've noticed mine did that for a while and then it stopped on it's own.. but I am worried I'll have to take it to the dealer if it happens again

Bought a 2019 Elevation in Sept 2019 Only issue was rear window dealer replaced it with a new one they did not even try to fix the old one. Had a 2014 All Terrain other than missing the sunroof/leather. the 2019 it is a much better truck. Nice and smooth on the highway none of the dreaded shake the 2014 had gave up on it and drove a ATS for 2 years.

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
