2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Problems

Metal shavings in oil and oil filter during routine maintenance at Hamilton Chevrolet. Needs entire engine replaced. I have been told that this is an issue with the 6.2L motor

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND ON LOW POWER TOOK TO DEALER THE CODE WAS MISFIRE CYLINDER 5 THEY FOUND CYLINDER BADLEY SCORRED SO THE REPLACED THE MOTOR AT 27000 MILES A 6.2 IN A 2025 SILVARADO 1500 TRAIL BOSS

The vehicle experiences intermittent 1-to-2-second total audio dropouts across all stereo sources, including the turn signals, radio and Apple CarPlay. Because the vehicle generates and routes audible safety alerts through the infotainment module and audio amplifier, the audible turn signal indicator (blinker clicking sound) and critical driver safety chimes (forward collision alert, backup park assist, and seatbelt warnings) fail to sound during these cutouts. The infotainment system is already running software build W231E-Y181.3.2-SIHM22B-499.3 231 release-keys, and the intermittent loss of turn signal and safety chimes persists. Per GM Bulletin PIT6406, dealerships are instructed not to replace the radio or amplifier while GM Engineering investigates, leaving the vehicle with an unresolved intermittent failure of audible safety indicators.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The vehicle was restarted within seconds and the message "Push to Start" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.

The specific cause has not been identified. On XXX6, my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom LT Trail Boss unexpectedly rolled away while parked and unoccupied, striking another parked vehicle. The truck remains at Modern Chevrolet and is available for inspection. GM/ESIS opened a safety and product liability investigation and is arranging inspection/data retrieval. I parked at Walmart in [XXX], shut the truck off, exited, locked it, and walked away. Shortly afterward, I heard a sound resembling the key-fob-left-inside warning. My key fob was in my pocket, so I returned and saw the truck moving with no driver. Another person and I tried to stop it. I entered through the driver’s door and pressed Start/Stop several times, but it would not start while moving. It continued moving and struck another parked vehicle. Vehicle dropped off on XXX and Modern Chevrolet could not reproduce the incident or identify the cause. The service advisor stated it “came out of gear but don’t know why” and escalated it to GM. GM/ESIS plans to retrieve SDM/airbag data, and I requested any Tech II/MDI scan data. No warning lights, messages, or chimes were observed during the incident. I did not see/hear “SHIFT TO PARK,” and I was able to lock the truck with the key fob outside. In a later controlled test, I left the truck in Drive and shut it off. It displayed “SHIFT TO PARK” and sounded a warning chime. Opening the driver’s door also produced a key-fob-left-inside-type alert, which did not occur on XXX. The truck did not automatically shift to Park or engage the electronic parking brake and slight movement was felt during the test. No further testing occurred by me after XXX. I have also experienced infotainment freezing after software updates and random electronic parking brake application when shutting off, and remains engaged after restart. The truck received an oil change/tire rotation at Modern Chevrolet on XXX. Cause still remains UNKNOWN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was traveling at 65 mph when my truck engine shut off, put itself in neutral, asked me to push the start button. And then the screen went black. Would not go into neutral for a tow. Taken to dealer where I purchased it from. Was told that the motor is seized.

On XXX at ~3:00 p.m., I was driving my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country (VIN [XXX]) in stop-and-go highway traffic with Super Cruise engaged. The vehicle ahead was a truck towing a low, empty flatbed trailer. My truck came to a complete stop behind the trailer. While stopped, with no accelerator input from me, the vehicle accelerated forward on its own and struck the rear of the flatbed before I could intervene. My foot was not on the accelerator. It appears the forward sensors may not have detected the low, unloaded trailer as an obstacle, so when the system resumed from the stop it accelerated into it. No injuries. The other vehicle had a steel rear plate and was undamaged; damage to my truck is estimated at $3,549.68. A vehicle that accelerates on its own from a complete stop into a stationary object ahead is a serious hazard. This was low-speed property damage only, but the same failure at higher speed, or with a pedestrian, cyclist, or child ahead, could cause death. I have an infant, and the thought of this happening with my child aboard is alarming. I am concerned that low-profile or unloaded trailers may not be reliably detected by the forward sensing system — a systemic limitation, not a one-time glitch. I ask NHTSA to review whether other GM/Super Cruise vehicles have experienced unintended acceleration from a stop or failure to detect low trailers. I notified GM (Chevrolet claim #XXX) and requested the vehicle's Event Data Recorder and Super Cruise/OnStar telematics be preserved. I am filing this so there is an independent safety record.

cold starts sometime there is an audible tick, there is also occasional low oil pressure and the gauge drops and returns to the normal range

I have had my vehicle to a GM dealership three times now due to the check engine light coming on and getting an emission warning. 2/13/26 was the first visit. It was right after I filled up my tank with gas that the check engine light came on when I started driving down the road. I got an appointment at a GM dealership. They put the scanner on it and received the codes. They drove it back to the service garage and I went back to work. I received information from them that they could not fix anything because the check engine light had disappeared and there were no codes available anymore. I picked up my vehicle and a week later 2/20/26 the same thing happened after I got gas. The check engine light came on and an emission warning on my Chevy app. I stopped back into the same dealership. And the same thing happened. Scanner, codes, and then they disappeared. The third time I got gas the same thing happened again with the check engine light and emission system warning. This was on 2/28/2026. I went to a different dealership and the exact same thing happened..... scanner, codes received, schedule an appointment to get it in the following week, started the vehicle and pulled out. The check engine light was still on at that time. And the check engine light disappeared once again as I was driving down the road. Each time this has happened I have been able to use my remote start via my Chevy app along with trying to use my handheld key fob remote start. The dealerships have told me this is normal for this type of check engine light emission warning. When researching this issue there are a lot of people experiencing the same thing. Scratching my head wondering why there's not a recall on this.

Brakes failed going into busy intersection with coming traffic. It can be available for inspection. Applied the brakes to stop at stop sign. Truck didn’t slow down - brakes went hard and my truck kept going. Escaped collision of oncoming vehicles going 55mph. Turned the truck a sharp left landing in first lane of traffic and quickly put into reverse. Going into the dealership Monday morning to have it checked. Happed too fast to notice any warning lamps etc..

I was driving on the freeway and got a service trailer brake system and a brake system failure 62mph top speed. I exited the freeway and came to a stop sign and hit my brakes to stop but was unable to stop and blew through the stop sign. Luckily there were no cars at the intersection and I was by myself.

On 3/30/2026, I was driving down the road & suddenly my dash filled with warning lights about brakes, abs etc. Steering the vehicle became almost impossible because power steering was gone. When I attempted to brake, I also found that I had very little braking. The vehicle has 11,036 miles. Got the vehicle to the dealership - Capital Chevrolet from which it was purchased. It has been diagnosed as a major brake failure. Master Cylinder, booster, reservoir, seals etc. Extremely dangerous situation without any early warning signs, lights or notices.

Prior to this incident, I had been having issues with my fuel management system give a “reduced acceleration” warning (codes P0087, P228B) in weather below 28-30F. It was in the shop 3 times prior: first time was “bad fuel”, second had my fuel rail and fuel filter replaced, and third time I had my high pressure fuel pump replaced (also had a rear crank seal leak). While approaching a stop sign, my vehicle gave me a check engine light with a “Reduced Acceleration” warning followed by several other warning messages and then ultimately lost power and shut off give me no ability to steer or brake my vehicle. Luckily, my vehicle came to stop and no crash or injuries occurred. If this had been at higher speeds the outcome could have been fatal to myself or another driver/passenger on the road. This incident also gave me a P0087, P12A6, P228A, and P228B error codes. I was able to restart the vehicle and make it home. The following day, the “Reduced Acceleration” message once again appeared. The vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting diagnosis and repair.

Purchased brand new 2025 reedman toll chevy Springfield pa. Been on going issues with tires been rebalanced 5 times . Shakes when driving. On highway. Been 3 chevy certified dealers still cannot figure whats going on. GM is not helping with this matter at all.

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

The glass on the driver's side mirror fluctuates when driving at speeds above approximately 35 MPH. It gets more intense the faster the vehicle travels. It's very distracting and also causes the mirror to go out of adjustment. I have had the mirror assembly changed 2 times by the dealer I'm still having the same issue. I filed a complaint with GM. After I filed a complaint the dealer installed ballast on the back side of the glass for counter balance per GM Engineers. That still did not fix the problem. I feel this is a design issue with the mirror. I am not the only owner with this issue.

On Thursday, July 9, 2026, at approximately 2:30 p.m., I was driving my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Duramax on Highway 40 while towing a properly connected trailer. The Multi-Flex tailgate had been fully closed and latched before I began my trip and had not been opened at any point prior to the incident. While traveling on the highway, a California Highway Patrol officer pulled alongside my vehicle and alerted me that my tailgate was down and bouncing on the trailer I was towing. I immediately pulled over to the shoulder and observed that the entire Multi-Flex tailgate had unexpectedly unlatched and was resting on the trailer. I closed and latched the tailgate, which appeared to operate normally, and continued to my destination. At no time before or during the incident did the vehicle display a "Tailgate Open" warning or any other warning message on the instrument cluster. The unexpected opening of the tailgate caused it to strike the trailer, resulting in damage to the Multi-Flex tailgate, the rear bumper, and the trailer. The vehicle has approximately 11,000 miles, was purchased new, and has not been modified. I have opened a case with General Motors, and the vehicle is scheduled to be inspected by an authorized Chevrolet dealership.

The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

2025 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab, VIN [XXX] , purchased new in April 2025. Total transaction value exceeded $50,000 including trade in of previous vehicle. Has experienced repeated serious electrical failures in under a year and 16,500 miles. Components that failed: Telematics module causing parasitic battery drain, DC/DC converter module, radio, and two complete battery failures. Turn signal was also triggering the high beams to flash, a separate electrical issue repaired under warranty. All components are available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: First battery failure occurred in January at 10,000 miles while traveling in the desert with my wife and infant son. We were stranded with no Chevrolet dealer accessible. Second battery failure occurred at 16,500 miles. A failed DC/DC converter module was discovered immediately after the latest round of repairs when the dashboard lit up with multiple warning lights and a check engine light the same day I picked up the vehicle. I drive this truck daily for work and transport my young child in it regularly. Repeated unexpected failures create a serious and ongoing safety risk. Confirmed by dealer: Yes. George Chevrolet confirmed and attempted repairs on the telematics module, DC/DC converter module, and radio. All failures documented on official repair orders. Warning lamps: Yes. Multiple warning lights and check engine light appeared immediately upon pickup after the most recent repairs. Manufacturer response: General Motors denied my repurchase request despite multiple confirmed warranty failures and has not offered a replacement vehicle.
