ADD ME TO THE SERVICE ESC GROUP.... 12600 MILES 2019 SILVERADO 5.3 THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, THE TRUCK THROUGH CODE P25A2 (THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IS NOT PERFORMING AS EXPECTED. AN ISSUE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE CHARGING AND STARTING SYSTEM THAT MONITORS AND CONTROLS THE ENGINE STARTING SYSTEM AND 12V BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. IF THE CHARGE SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON, OR COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM. DRIVING WHILE THIS LIGHT IS ON COULD DRAIN THE BATTERY. SEVERAL OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL, TC, BREAK TOWING ECT. A MESSAGE STATING USE CAUTION, DO NOT DRIVE OVER 62 MPH ALSO CAME ON. DURING THIS THE BREAKS BECAME MUSHY AND THE TRUCK WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN HOPES THEY CAN FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE MYSELF OR ANOTHER PERSON GETS HURT IN A CRASH CAUSED BY THESE ISSUES.

I BOUGHT THE 1ST TRUCK IN DECEMBER. THE BRAKES FAILED ON ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL IN ORLANDO. BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE AND THE DASH LIGHT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A MASTER CYLINDER BUT COULD NOT GET IT BECAUSE CHEVY WAS ON STRIKE. I TRADED IN AND GOT A SECOND VEHICLE. THEY DID THE RECALL ON IT BEFORE I TOOK IT AND THEN THE BRAKES FAILED SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY DID AN UPDATE ON IT AND I LEFT WITH IT THE SAME DAY. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE BRAKES FAILED... FIRST TIME ON 436 IN ORLANDO FLORIDA I WAS BEHIND A SCHOOL BUS AND THEY WENT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS FAR ENOUGH BEHIND IT I COULD GET PULLED OVER. SECOND TIME I WAS ON SR434 AND 17/92 IN LONGWOOD AT A RED LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS THE SECOND TRUCK. 2019 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. I TRIED TO TRADE IT BACK IN TO GET OUT OF THE 1500 INTO A 2500 AND THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE A $17,000 HIT. CHEVY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE MADE TWO TOTAL PAYMENTS ON IT . I PAID 50K AND OWE 44327.00 ON IT. *TR

I GET INTO THE VEHICLE WHILE AT MY STORAGE UNIT FACILITY AND WITHIN SECONDS TURN THE VEHICLE ON BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. THREE SECONDS AFTER I AM MOVING IN REVERSE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTS FLASHING WARNING MESSAGES SUCH AS NO SPEED OVER 62 MPH, ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEMS SOMETHING, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS WITHOUT BRAKES! I WAS NOT GOING FAST, NOR IN TRAFFIC, BUT THE FACT REMAINS I HAD NO BRAKES, AGAIN! THIS ISSUE WAS 'FIXED' TWO MONTHS EARLIER IN ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IN ITS ENTIRETY, I MEAN TAKEN OFF THE STREETS. IT'S NOT JUST THE DRIVERS OF THE TRUCK WHO ARE IN DANGER, OTHER DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS ARE ALSO IN DANGER. A FATALITY IS IMMINENT BUT I ASK THE NHTSA HOW MANY FATALITIES BEFORE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE IS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD? EVERY SAFETY DEVICE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED: AIRBAGS, SEATBELT, AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE ARE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT IS REPORTED HERE. PLEASE DON'T EXPECT GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE CAUSE BEHIND THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH! FIRST IT WAS ONSTAR, NOW IT IS THE COMPANY THEY HIRED TO CREATE THEIR COMPUTERIZED BRAKES. COMPUTERS HAVING SO MUCH CONTROL OVER VEHICLES, I'M LEARNING, IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE MY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES WITH ANYONE WHO CAN HELP MY FELLOW AMERICANS AND MYSELF!

WE COULD NOT MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE DUE TO VEHICLES ENTERING THAT LANE FROM AN ON RAMP. WE WERE ABOUT 100 YARDS AWAY WHEN WE REALIZED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US WAS NOT MOVING.

THAT VEHICLE WENT LEFT INTO THE GUARDRAIL AND WE FINALLY STOPPED ON THE REAR BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE THAT HAD INITIALLY STOPPED WITH HALF OF THEIR VEHICLE STILL IN THE LEFT HAND LANE. TALKING LATER WITH MY SPOUSE WE BOTH REALIZED NEITHER OF US FELT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE. THERE WAS NO SOUND THAT IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKING HARD. I TOOK PICTURES AT THE SCENE. I FOUND IT ODD THAT THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY AND SHORTLY AFTER 11 AM. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY HUSBAND REQUIRED TREATMENT AT THE LOCAL ER. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLED.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The battery positive (B+) cable rings may have been manufactured with excessive glue, potentially causing an intermittent electrical connection between the B+ cable and alternator.

2EA25007 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure
Opened Oct 23, 2025 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 1,157 reports of engine bearing failure failures in the L87 6.2L engine produced by General Motors (GM). Of the 1,157 reports received, 173 are outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. These engines are installed in Model Years (MY) 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and 2021-2024MY Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV vehicles. The subject engine failures were investigated as part of a Preliminary Evaluation (PE25001). GM determined that these engine failures were due to multiple supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the supplier manufacturing and quality issues produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. Based on the issuance of recall 25V-274, NHTSA has closed PE25001. ODI continues to receive a significant number of reports of engine failure in vehicles outside the scope of 25V-274. This presents a potential safety risk that warrants further investigation. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis (EA) to further evaluate the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues of vehicles built outside the recall scope.

PE25001 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure
Opened Jan 16, 2025 · Closed Oct 23, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical
On January 16, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE25001 after receiving complaints and field reports concerning engine failures in MY2019-2024 GM’s full-size truck and SUV T1XX platform equipped with the L87 6.2L V8 engine. These complainants alleged engine bearing failures resulting in knocking and growling noises from the engine’s bottom end and in some cases more severe consequences such as broken connecting rods leading to engine damage, or engine failure. If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. On April 24, 2025, GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the concern with L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024.
