2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in the garage, the key fob was accidentally depressed twice. There were no warning light lights illuminated. The contact stated that the design of the key fob was different from the key fob for a similar vehicle the contact owned, just an older model. On the older model, whenever the contact pressed the key fob and the lock button was pressed, the vehicle would start. The contact stated that on the new vehicle, when the lock button was pressed twice the vehicle would start unintendedly while the vehicle was in the garage. The contact stated that on another occasion, the key fob was pressed twice unintendedly and the tailgate open, and the vehicle started. The contact believed the failure was caused by a defect. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

The "Auto-stop" feature of the engine apparently automatically turns itself on every time the engine is started. there is no warning light or other indication that it is on except a very small light ON THE SWITCH TO SHUT OFF. The auto-stop function itself is inherently unsafe because it shuts the engine off and doesn't restart it until the operator removes his foot from the brake.... -sometimes it takes several seconds to restart. If you take your foot off from the pedal and then put it back on and the vehicle rolls back a bit, it may not start at all, necessitating shifting to park and manually restarting the engine. If it does start late, the engine may surge and the vehicle will lurch ahead into traffic. I have had two close calls because of the "auto-stop", once causing a semi-trailer truck to veer away to miss me. Any driver that fails to disengage the auto-stop function on engine start is putting his own and other peoples lives in danger. NO FEATURE AFFECTING ENGINE ON-OFF, VEHICLE SPEED, STEERING , OR BRAKING SHOULD EVER BE ENGAGED WITHOUT A SPECIFIC COMMAND BY THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT IS ENGAGED, BY THE OPERATOR, AN AMBER WARNING LIGHT SHOULD SHOW ON THE DASH PANEL AND STAY ON AS LONG AS THAT AUTOMATIC FEATURE IS ENGAGED. IF NOT, THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD TOTALLY AND SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT THAT OCCURS AS A RESULT OF THAT FEATURE.

Driving on road at approximately 30 mph. All lights on dash came on and car braked suddenly immediately stopping the vehicle in the middle of traffic. Could not release the brake. Car was idling very rough during this time. Turned car off and back on. Brake released but still running very rough. Made it the short trip home. Truck to dealership via wrecker. Brake was again a problem getting on and off the wrecker

A trailer hitch has an sticker stating the Tow Vehicle Maximum Trailer rating for the hitch. Owner's manual and towing safety stickers on the driver's side door only state the maximum dead weight for a hitch...that is the weight applied if a trailer is attached to the tow vehicle's hitch ball. This sticker give you maximum if a trailer is installed with a weight distribution hitch assembly. On my 2025 Silverado, as well on four other Silverados I viewed at a dealer, and a few GMC Sierras, also viewed at dealers, the sticker is applied; however, impossible to read the specifications supplied by the sticker. I have uploaded two files: One, is the sticker as viewed on a 2016 GMC that is attached to the bottom of the hitch, easy to read and obtain the SAFETY information contained. Second photo is how the sticker is attached to my 2025 Silverado (and as noted on all other vehicles I viewed at dealerships) and as you can see, the specifications are not readable. I even tried a mirror and not enough room for the mirror to fit and allow viewing of the stats. The information on this sticker is required to SAFELY pull a trailer with a weight distribution style hitch assembly. And to require a sticker, but not make as requirement it needs to be legible is ludicrous. Thanks

Days after purchasing the vehicle brand new back in 2023, it began having issues with what they thought was the new 4 cylinder mode working itself in or electrical shifting needed to be replaced… After numerous years of being stalled out on highways, unnecessary repairs made, lose of business revenue, and more. It turned out to be a faulty engine with bad bearings, & levers. Over time, got worse & left unseen causing it to officially blow. The shutdown modes prior were all left undetected or resolved by dealership service stations. After being told of suspicious knocking since only thousands of miles out on.

While putting bottom seat cover on my new truck in the back seat, I pushed the seat cover under the back rest and hit a very sharp piece of metal and cut my finger. I wrapped my finger up and continued the install. On the other side of the truck I hit another sharp piece of metal behind the back rest and cut another finger. No medical treatment was required. I dont know if the metal is part of the seat bracket or what, I cannot see it.
