2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I am filing this complaint regarding my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, which has approximately 20,000 miles and has been babied since new. The truck is maintained meticulously and the undercarriage is washed weekly. The brake failures I have experienced are completely unacceptable for a truck with this mileage and maintenance history. Both the FRONT and REAR brake friction material has completely DELAMINATED from the brake components. This is not normal brake wear. The material has separated from the underlying metal, which I believe is a serious material/manufacturing-quality issue. The dealer is now reporting that the rear emergency/parking brake shoes are also defective and require replacement. These components are inside the rear rotor and are not visible during a normal inspection. I strongly dispute any suggestion that this is simply corrosion or abuse. This truck is babied, maintained properly, and the undercarriage is washed every week specifically to prevent buildup and corrosion. At only 20,000 miles, having the front brakes, rear brakes, AND parking-brake shoes fail is completely unacceptable. The brake failures are also part of a disturbing pattern of component failures on this truck. The A/C compressor failed, leaving me without reliable air conditioning and resulting in a SIX-WEEK wait for replacement during the middle of summer. Additionally, only FIVE DAYS after I purchased the truck brand new, it required replacement of the Engine Control Module. This is a 2023 truck with only 20,000 miles. I expect normal wear items to wear normally—not to physically delaminate and fail. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether there is a systemic safety or manufacturing defect involving the brake materials/components used on these trucks. A brake component physically separating from its backing material is a serious safety concern and should not be dismissed as routine maintenance. GM needs to be held accountable for the quality and safety of this

THE VEHCILE ONLY HAS 1779 MILES. THE AC UNIT OPERATED FOR SHORT PERIOD TIME. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERTURE WAS 95 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT ALL THE CONTROLS WERE NOT INOPERATE. THE A/C COMPRESSOR PUMP WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE ONLY ITEMS WORKING WAS THE FAN MOTOR BLOWING HOT AIR. I RESTATED THE VEHICLE AND STILL NO COLD AIR OUTPUT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH A/C UNIT. THE UNIT OPERATED NORMALY AND THE TEMPERTUER IS 35 DEGREES OUTPUT. THE SECOND PROBLEM THE DASH PANEL EMERGENCY LIGHT CABLE WAS NEVER INSTALLED. THE DEALER HAD TO ORDER THE PART.

Vehicle was towing Horse Trailer. Gave an indication message to check trailer break wiring. I did so and all was working fine. I loaded my horses and pulled out onto the road. Traveling 10 mph the truck completely shut off, no brakes, No warning, I helplessly rolled to a stop. The truck then turned on electrically, but did not start the engine completely by itself. Two minutes later, the truck turned itself off electrically. The motor was never running. I had it towed to a dealership in which it took them five days to repair. The truck has 17,000 miles on it. If I would’ve been traveling on the expressway or going any faster, I could’ve killed people.. I personally have PTSD from ever driving this truck hooked to a trailer again. There should have been some kind of warning system. I should have never lost my brakes. I purchased this truck as a towing vehicle from my Horse Trailer And now I am terrified to use it!
