2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

My truck locks up the back tires at 7 mph. No warning lights come on and the only indication it is going to happen is when shifting from park to reverse it bangs extremely hard.

The oil cooler line was un-lodged from the metal crimp that secures it while I was pulling away causing total loss of all engine oil in a matter of seconds. Not only does the car immediately tell you to turn your car off to avoid catastrophic engine failure, but this is also dangerous for other drivers as the oil may cause a hazard for controlling the vehicle going through the oil.

My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L engine developed a severe tick, misfire, and rough idle at only 93,000 miles. This was diagnosed as a collapsed AFM lifter on Cylinder 2. GM 5.3L AFM lifter failure is extremely common in these trucks and causes sudden loss of power, misfires, and unsafe driving conditions. This is a known widespread defect, yet GM has not issued a recall. The failure happened without warning and required major engine disassembly. This should be investigated as a safety and reliability issue.

Transmission-Has always shuddered and hesitates when shifting. Problem seems to get worse. Dealer had no answer except try flushing transmission. I read this is an inherent problem.

On 6/4/2025 while driving my truck, I noticed smoke coming out of vents of the front passenger side of vehicle. I got out of truck and went to open passenger door to investigate and the engine ignited. A neighbor called 911 and the local fire department responded. I contacted my insurance company. They had the truck towed so their investigators could examine it. The cause was classified as indeterminate and the truck was declared a total loss. The truck had approximately 51,000 miles at the time of the incident and was well maintained, with new tires and no known mechanical issues or warning lights prior to the fire. The fire occurred while driving on a road seven miles from my home.

GM refuses to cover catalytic converter recall 20V-005 despite matching VIN/build criteria. Failure occurred at 88k, but dealer refused service at the time. I'm now driving it at 108k. Private garage confirmed it's critically plugged.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT and I am having issues with the transmission bucking, hesitating, slipping. I am also having issues with the variable timing system. The variable timing system started acting up last year and when I took it to the dealer they replaced it and I was charged over $400 for it to be repaired. It happened again the beginning of this year and I took it back to the dealer. They told me the oil was dirty and suggested an oil change to fix the issue. I had the oil change done and now I am having the same problem again and have already had the oil changed. I need help since I am paying for a vehicle that is sitting in my driveway not being able to be used. There are 6 codes that have popped up including the variable timing system, cylinder...

The transmission does not shift smoothly. It actually will lurch forward after a stop at a sign or traffic light. It hesitates upon acceleration. I find it unerving and possibly dangerous. It was fixed by the dealer on October 22, 2024 and was good for 6 months but has started to do the same thing again.

Sliding rear window leaks in 3 spots. Leak poses the safety risk of mold growth inside the vehicle along with the potential of water getting inside of electrical components and air bag device compartments. The problem was reproduced and confirmed at the dealership, to which the plastic seal at the top of the rear window was confirmed to have failed in 3 locations. Dealership recommended replacing the entire back window and assembly with what they believe to be the same window assembly that failed. The only inspection completed on the vehicle to date has been the dealership GM certified technicians. Musty smell after rain and observed staining on the headliner is when the issue was first identified.

Getting a Shift to park message on dash screen also getting radio to be unresponsive (like the screen is frozen) also puts a message of no information detected

It’s been draining the battery every couple of days,sometimes the screen won’t turn off it just stays on but black it won’t even play the radio the tailgate won’t open most of the time the dashboard is been over heating it gets extremely hot I tough it was just Texas weather but on winter days was hotter than normal when I put it in park it won’t it keeps beeping and showing a message to put packing on sometimes you can hear a very thin noise coming from the dashboard ..transmission vibrates over 50-60 mph

I was driving down the road and my oil lines from my engine to my oil cooler exploded and oil went everywhere. I turned off the truck immediately. I started looking around and there is a Bulletin (N192220080) addressing this issue with my make model and year vehicle but my VIN was not included. I called GM and they said since this was issued by NHTSA they have to be the ones to update the bulletin or issue a new one if this is happening on more vehicles.

Truck rev high without much acceleration Clunking noise when accelerating Hard shifting Shuttering

Hard shifting, mainly first to second gear. Shuddering at high speeds, and hard downshifting.

Was at a red light after a very short drive, as soon as the light turned green I let off break hit gas and felt a huge kick that felt as if I was rear ended. I let off the gas and another big kick happened. Check engine light came on and dashboard read “Service ECS and Service parking break”. Truck would not accelerate and I was stuck in the middle of a very busy intersection. Turned truck off turned back on and it allowed me to at least accelerate and get out of the intersection but the truck was revving at high RPMs and not going faster than 20mph. I’m assuming truck went into limp mode. Got truck to mechanic where they said all the codes were TRANSMISSION CODES. Truck was then towed to Monterey transmissions in Stuart, FL where they stated it was confirmed a new transmission would...

I had known transmission problems resulting in $5974 repairs. I consider this an extreme safety issue. Had the transmission failed in heavy traffic, it would present a dangerous situation for both me and others near me. This is a known issue by GM, nothing is being done to correct this problem.

Pulling an enclosed trailer with my 2019 Chevy PU. Stopped at a gas station and discovered the tailgate had dropped down while driving. Making the turn into the gas station with the trailer in tow creased the tailgate considerably by the jack on the trailer. Thankfully nothing was noticed missing from the truck bed that was needed for our trip. Very unhappy for the faulty tailgate opening while traveling. Request contact for repair as I see there are recalls on this matter but not my truck when indeed it did happen.

The rear view camera mounted in the tailgate of my truck displays a distorted and fuzzy display on the video display, when in reverse gear. When I select reverse gear and it's at night, the light at the top center of the tailgate, intended to illuminate the tow hitch, is so bright that it bleaches any view from the screen. I'd suggest the light be on a separate switch to be used only for actually hitching to a trailer. The display shows the guiding marks where the truck will go and it is bleached from view also. This is a hazard because the view is so blurry, nothing of value is displayed. I mentioned this to the dealer's service manager, where I purchased this truck, used, and he said that the camera would have to be replace or at least removed from the tailgate and cleaned and resealed. I noticedd...

IT'S BEEN 3 TIMES I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE BRAKES AND THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE DIAGNOSIS THAT RETURNED p25a2 AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR FIXING SOMETHING THAT WENT WRONG SINCE MANUFACTURING MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 6,000 MILES IT SKIDS A LOUD SOUND IS HEARD DOWN AND WHEN I BRAKE FOR A LITTLE MORE AND I CRASH 3 TIMES

I have 2019 chevy silverado 1500 that only has 38000 miles and bought it at 34000 miles. I drive it 20 miles if that to work and back only and use my wifes cars another chevy on weekends family car. One morning i turned it on and it stated no oil pressure to turn car off. I did as it stated lifted the hood and can tell the oil cooler line/hose came off due to the latch bracket not holding. Thank God i wasnt on the highway in dfw traffic could have caused an accident. Low and behold many hundreds of complaints with the same vehicle and issue has been filed with Gm motors. While in alaska and canada the exact same issue is recalled but not the united states of America! Please help as i cannot replace an engine in this time today with a family over an issue...

Sliding Back window of 2019 and newer GMC pickups are experiencing issues with defects on the plastic connecting to the back window. They are cracking and allowing water to enter vehicle and down to carpet possibly creating mold. They have fixed mine one time already and the fix lasted for a little over 2 years. and just my truck was in the shop again for over a week and it’s the same issue . Advising they will not cover it under extended warranty . The is a health concern and GMC knows about it and will not do anything to rectify the problem

This 2019 Silverado pickup truck lurched forward on 2 different occasions. The first time it lurched forward, it was in a parking lot and no damage was done to the truck or any other vehicle. The second time our 2019 Silverado pickup truck lurched forward I was turning around at a farm. The truck hit a wooden building on the farm and did damage to it and our truck did damage the front end of the truck to the tune of $3,474.00. If someone was in front of the truck, they would have been killed or seriously injured. We have been very careful with the truck ever since. We could pull it into our garage and it could lurch forward and go through the garage wall.

Rear defrost is causing a loud hissing/arcing sound. After leaving the defrost on for a short period of time, I could see smoke forming near the bottom left corner of the window. This is concerning because defrost is turned on automatically when the truck is started and it is cold outside. I see that many other people have reported the same issue on their 2019 Silverado 1500 when reading in the GM forum. In many reported cases, it will either catch on fire or completely shatter the window. I was told by my dealer that since my truck is outside of warranty, they would not cover the repair. This should be a safety recall covered outside of warranty period. GM has yet to announce a safety recall on this issue.

My rear window was leaking and repaired by the dealer in 2020 . Then in November of 2023 I noticed the water again in the cab I noticed stains and mold in the cab the vehicle now had 42,000 miles the dealer said the truck was out of warranty so I would have to pay out of pocket or make an insurance claim . This is a health and safety concern if the window sealant can crack it can potentially pop out if the windows are open at higher speeds due to the pressure in the cab. Also General Motors does not want to acknowledge or accept full responsibility for the window or the mold and water damage!

Truck developed leak in rear window area, which will create mold in the vehicle, making it unsafe to be in. Took it into Chevrolet dealer and told it was third brake light leak a known issue with a TSB. First told will need window replaced also, but then they changed to the reseal window (see quote attached). They "repaired" the leak, then same day it was still leaking. I returned to dealer (same day); now told I need to replace window as per a TSB! Another $1K cost to me. GM knows about this problem but is placing the cost on the customer. These trucks are not safe to be in, if mold develops.

The rear sliding window structure is faulty and this is well documented through complaints. The structure surrounding the rear sliding window is not strong enough to stand normal wear and tear. This is documented in [XXX] . The supplier produced poor quality material. Was it the suppliers fault or GM's specifications? The water leakage can cause damage to the rear seat and floor board which can cause mold and mildew to form, causing a health issue. This happened to this vehicle. Because of this known problem which GM gets away with the consumer has to foot the bill. The dealership has to send this truck out to get fixed and the cost is around $900. Though the mold and mildew is not enough for a recall since it is not a safety issue. It does become a safety issue when the water interacts with the electrical system and causes it...

On Monday, [XXX] my husband was driving his 2019 Chevy Trail Boss (VIN [XXX] ) home from work and a warning light came on the dash indicating “low oil pressure, turn engine off.” He pulled off the road immediately to turn the truck off and then realized that there was oil pouring out from the truck and which had covered the entire underside and sides of the vehicle. After having the truck towed to the local dealership we were notified that the issue was related to the oil cooler lines detaching causing the oil leak. The recommended fix was replacement of the lines and fresh oil. We proceeded with the service and thankfully there was no apparent damage to the engine at this time. The dealership acknowledged that this was a common problem with this truck. We paid $1,307.13 for the completion of this work, completed by Urka Auto Center...

I was driving for an hour when the truck was dinging and it told me to turn off engine no pressure with oil coolant I pulled into a customer’s driveway and all the oil in the truck was all over the customer’s blacktop called Chevy they knew nothing about problem and said no recall and was not covered with 42000 miles on truck had it towed and repaired by my local mechanic who also questioned Chevy and got the same response

Back up camera fails, and a collision follows. The camera keeps flickering and going black all the time. I ask the dealer and was told that if the factory warranty expired, nothing they can do. Also the infotainment system is failing, turn off then on, or freeze if temperature is cold. Same answer from dealer

MY PURGE PUMP HAS GONE OUT 3 TIMES. I DO NOT OVERFILL MY TANK. THEY HAVE ALSO STATED IT IS DUE TO NO LID ON THE GAS TANK BUT THIS TRUCK IS DESIGNED WITHOUT A LID FOR THE TANK. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS NOW GONE BAD PER THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 121000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. I WANTED TO REPORT THESE SINCE THE TRUCK IS NOT THAT OLD SO THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHERS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT HAS JUMPED AT TAKE OFF AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN THIS. THE DEALER SHIP ALSO GIVE DIFFERENT ANSWERS FOR THINGS AND DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE WRONG.

Not really a safety concern but the backup camera worked for about a year, then got foggy during wet weather and completely useless in winter here in Anchorage, it was still foggy the following summer and then it went completely off and the following message appeared on the screen: service rear vision system. Of course it’s out of warranty now. I just think they should last more than a year or two in fact I’m still paying for my truck and a good feature that is really unimpressive. Thanks for your time.

Truck does not recognize shifter position of park, will not turn off properly. No wat to tell if transmission is safely in park. Does this about 50 percent of the time. This has to be a safety issue. A dealer in Arizona says that on model of the Chevy Silverado it is a regular issue. I would think this should be a safety recall item.

Water leaking from the rear windshield into the vehicle. Large amounts of water into the housing for the rear seatbelts, which is concerning for damage to the seatbelts. There are concerns for mold and electrical issues as well. This is a known issue from Chevrolet and needs to be addressed.

The rear windows leak because of a faulty window seal. This is a widespread issue that some people don’t even notice until truck is out of warranty and dealers want $700-$1000 to fix. The issues causes water to enter the cab, mine had water going into seatbelt areas that could damage mechanisms inside and cause seatbelts to not operate properly in a crash. As well as cause mold and other issues inside the cab. The company knows of the issue and has made a bulletin for how to fix. This needs to be a recall as it is affecting most trucks. Customers should not have to pay for this fix. This is a factory defect in materials used. Whatever they used to seal the window, cracks and alloys water in. I don’t know how long this has been leaking but probably well before warranty ran out I just now noticed...

The touch screen controller is constantly going haywire. It’s very distracting while operating the vehicle. The screen will switch from maps that you are following by itself to the radio, home page or just freeze. The radio can’t be controlled, the Wi-Fi and satellite systems switch on and off at random. There’s many complaints listed on the internet about the issue. GM wants $675 to replace the system on a 4 year old vehicle.

2019 Chevy Silverado RST turbo. 46K miles. Truck would feel like it skipped a gear a few times for a few months; I chalked it up to needing a new air filter. Had that and the oil changed. Ran normal for about 3 weeks. Check engine light came on and began flashing, service esc and service parking brake lights came on. Truck would vibrate while at an idle. Truck would not get up and go and when it go to 30mph, it would violently shake and stutter. Changed the 4 spark plugs, with number 4 being the worst, then 1, then 2 and 3. Mind you, the truck only has 46K miles. Got them replaced, removed the negative battery terminal to reset the codes and now the heat isn't working.

In November of 2021, There was a water leak found inside the truck, on the passenger side rear cab. Chevy repaired in accordance with GM bulletin # 18-na-383. After six month, leak came back. They replaced the rear window, in accordance with GM bulletin # 18-na-383. All work was done under warranty. Now after a month since last repair, the leak is back and worse then it was. Returned to Chevy dealer and they want to replace both parts again. This time not under warranty. Further research of the internet, yielded thousands of people over many years having the same issue.

Changed my oil and filter and notice a oil leak from under my radiator area. Investigated and found that the oil cooler lines was leaking from crimp joints. Contacted GM and local dealer and they would not make repairs without charging me for the repair and service, told me that my vehicle was not included in the Customer Satisfaction Program Number N212326940 and that my truck was out of warranty at 36000 miles. Current miles 38700, I believe that this was leaking at or around 35000 miles but was in between oil changes. Didn't find it until I did a oil change.

Parked in parking on an attempt to crank and leave the power steering would not turn the vehicle and a message appeared stating power steering needs immediate attention and the anti skid light appeared as well as abs message. These messages may not be exact but my concern is if I attempt to drive and the power assist goes out and I cannot control my vehicle. I will say that I went back to where the vehicle was left parked attempt to drive after sitting 1-2 hours and the messages were gone and the power steering had returned.

This truck has about 35,000 miles on it and the frame is rusted severely. Doesn’t feel safe to drive. Have to because it’s my only vehicle.

the transmission at the time of putting the speed jumps by itself, and the stereo turns off completely by itself

Started truck had several warnings for Service ESC, Traction control, service 4wheel drive and parking brake would not release

Water leak on rear windshield creating damage on floor and headliner my safety is at risk because there are electrical cables on top of the head liner that can create a fire if get wet also the bad smell i notify chevrolet gm and the dealership all the silverado 2019 with the rear sliding window leak water and this is a factory problem they should recall my warranty expired last month they dont want to fix the issue and i have to spend money and time to fix something they build wrong

1) Temperature outside 25 degrees F 2) Used Remote Start to warm up the truck 3) Truck ran for 5-8 mins 4) After getting in the truck when I closed the driver side door the full rear window glass completely shattered and blew out. My understanding is that this was an issue in the past as per TSB 14815B and seems to be a known issue that others have experienced as I saw when researching the safety issue on the internet.

1st Time I was idling for 30+ minutes, truck was also making strange knocking noises, pulled on to a major highway and rear end locked up, cars were slamming on brakes, almost got killed. Took to shop left for 2 weeks, they said they could find no issues. I assumed they fixed problem, because there was no knocking any more. 3 weeks later, was idling for about 45minutes, pulled into traffic, dark, raining, rear en locked up. Almost got killed a second time. Took in for service and left truck. This needs to be investigated before someone gets killed!

The infotainment system on the 2019 Chevy Silverado fails when a passenger is using Carplay. While using Carplay for hands-free operation of a cellular device and or navigation the system will reboot continuously. Just prior to the system failures to begin the turn signals will begin to operate sporadically. They will either stay on solid, off, or blink at an uneven interval. These system reboots create a safety issue as this forces the driver to take their eyes off of the road and physically disconnect and reconnect the cellular device. By having to take my eyes off of the road to deal with the system rebooting this takes attention away and creates a safety issue for myself and all others on the road. One incident I had to slam on the brakes after looking back up and seeing that traffic had come to a sudden stop. The unit has been...
