On July 4, 2026 while driving with my family up a two lane state road headed to the lake cruising 55mph the engine blew and locked up with no warning, no check engine light or anything causing me to almost wreck and leaving me and my family stranded in a dangerous situation for a moment. I drive out of town just about everyday for work so my truck is set on cruise control most days through the week making multiple long distance trips a month so the mileage racked up fast for me causing me to go right over my warranty when this happened so I can’t get any help with it.

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

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

Component Affected: Visibility: Interior Trim / Entertainment Center Bezel Glare Description of Safety Hazard:The interior styling of the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado RST contains a design flaw involving the polished chrome trim strip located directly below the main central entertainment center/infotainment screen. Because of the angle of this specific trim piece relative to the driver's seating position, direct sunlight hits this lower screen border and reflects a concentrated, blinding glare directly into the driver’s eyes.This causes immediate, severe visual impairment and a temporary loss of forward visibility while driving. This distraction and blindness prevent the driver from safely observing the road and traffic, creating an imminent crash hazard. The manufacturer has failed to provide a non-reflective, matte finish for this specific entertainment center trim to prevent this hazard.

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.

My truck (2025 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss LZ0 Duramax 3.0l) started to have problems when driving. At a stop light, I started to accelerate at about 2000-3000 RPM. While doing so, there was a loud ticking/grinding noise coming from the transmission/Bell housing area. On June 2nd, I dropped the truck off with the dealership. I didn’t hear back from them until about a month later (July 3rd) and when I did they said the technician confirmed I needed a new ‘axle actuator’. About a week and a half later, they said it did not fix the issue and started to become more of a problem to where they will need an “engine technician” to see if I need a new engine due to the “crank shaft thrust bearing”. The advisor said he will call me on Wednesday, July 15th to update me on what I will need. I requested a Loaner vehicle since I dropped it off and they said no because the dealer does not provide that and would have to get approval from GM to grant me the loaner vehicle bast off the diagnostic.

My 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 6.2L V8 experienced an internal engine failure at approximately 16,500 miles, requiring replacement of the entire long block under the factory powertrain warranty. The authorized Chevrolet dealership diagnosed internal cylinder wall scoring, and the engine could not be repaired. The failed engine should still be available for inspection if requested. About 4,000 miles after my last oil change, while the Oil Life Monitor still showed about 50% remaining, the vehicle repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings. I checked the oil level with the engine cold, and the dipstick showed the level was normal, so I believed the problem was a faulty oil level sensor. The next day, the warning changed to "Add Engine Oil," and I immediately took the truck to the dealership. The dealership confirmed the issue was not the sensor but internal engine damage caused by cylinder wall scoring, requiring replacement of the entire long block. Fortunately, the engine did not seize while I was driving, and no crash or injury occurred. However, before the failure was diagnosed, the only warning was repeated oil level messages that did not match the actual oil level. There were no abnormal engine noises, knocking, or noticeable loss of power. A driver could reasonably assume it was only a sensor issue and continue driving without realizing the engine had already suffered severe internal damage. If the engine failed while driving, it could create a serious safety haz

On March 6, 2026 exactly one month ago from today, I was driving my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 with a 6.2 liter gas engine to a family vacation. We were traveling through our home state to another state. I was driving and my wife, along wiht two children (age [XXX] and [XXX] ) and my family dog were all riding inside the truck. We were traveling at posted highway speed approximately three hours from our home. There was a whine from the engine compartment that got progressively louder in about 30 seconds. Then the engine began to lose power. We were near a chevrolet dealer so I pulled in the service bay, where the technician swiftly told me to cut off the engine, that my crankshaft was broken and it lead to catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle is available for inspection at the same Chevrolet dealer we visited one month ago. My family's safety was put at risk because we were traveling at highway speed and the vehicle witnessed catastrophic engine failure. Due to catastrophic engine failure, the engine has not been turned on by the dealer since departing the service department. The vehicle was been inspected by the service department at a certified Chevrolet dealer. Interestingly, there were no warning lights or any type of warning other than the severe sound coming from the engine compartment. Prior to engine failure, there were no other symptoms of the problem other than the low pitched whine that progressively got louder over a ~30 second period of time. INFORMATION RE

Waited on the side of the road till the tow truck got there. towed the truck to my local Chevy dealer where they confirmed the engine was blown, I want Chevy to do a buyback on the truck as I have zero confidence in the truck, do not feel safe in it anymore, my daughter swore to never set foot in it again after such a dramatic event. i now have to wait a month for the dealer to install a new motor, at which time they will not give me a loaner truck, very disappointing. 1-Total engine failure. 2-Mine, my daughter, the semi truck driver, and many other surrounding drivers safety and lives were put at risk. 3- Yes the dealer has confirmed it was a totally engine loss. 4-no one else has inspected the vehicle 5- No light, sensors or warnings just a loud bang then our lives flashing before our eyes.

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.

I HAD A 2020 CHEVY TRAIL BOSS AND THE PISTON ROD BROKE. CHEVY STATED I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR. AT THE TIME IT WAS 5 WEEKS OR MORE TO GET FIXED. I TRADED IT IN FOR THE SAME STYLE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS ON VACATION AND NEEDED TO GET HOME. (2025 WITH THE L87 6.2 MOTOR). MY NEW TRUCK HAS 21000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A ROUGHER IDLE, OIL USE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, AND METAL DEBRIE IN THE OIL AND OIL FILTER. I’M AFRAID THIS NEW TRUCK WILL BLOW UP TOO. I LOST MONEY ON THE 2020 TRUCK AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME IS HAPPENING TO MY NEW ONE.

Electrical System
Filed Mar 8, 2026NY

My vehicle frequently loses all cabin sound, including the radio, audible turn signal, and forward/rear collision and lane departure warnings. When this occurs, the cabin is completely silent. The loss of radio audio is an inconvenience, but the loss of safety feature alerts is a clear hazard. My dealership has suggested this may be related to a recent software update; however, there is no apparent correlation between the updates and when the issue occurs.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
