Complaint evidence
Examples provide context, not a representative sample or a verified diagnosis.
There are two systems that are a hazard and dangerous on the Silverado EV. The First one is the Automatic High Beams. The Auto high beams will continuously flash other drivers on the road. This can blind other drivers and possibly case a crash. The other Dangerous safety feature on the vehicle is the Automatic Emergency Braking. The AEB feature when crawling behind another vehicle in bumber to bumper traffic will randomly just slam on the brakes unnecessarily which could cause a rear end collision. When this happens, There is no need for emerge…
Observation: "While operating the vehicle in Reverse (R) with the One-Pedal Driving (OPD) mode enabled, the expected aggressive regenerative braking deceleration is disabled or significantly reduced compared to when driving forward in Drive (D). Safety Concern: "This creates an unexpected driving experience where the car continues to coast/accelerate without input when the accelerator is released, requiring the driver to use the traditional friction brake pedal to stop the vehicle. This goes against the driver's established muscle memory and e…
While driving, the infotainment display went blank except for hvac display and became unresponsive. Within two minutes the instrument panel froze. Speed no longer updated. Turn signals no longer worked. Vehicle could not be powered off. Drive, reverse and park shifting worked. Camera displayed when shifted in reverse. System reset after plugging into charging station for a few minutes. Occurred multiple times over the last two weeks.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? GM and dealerships have report extensive failures of the Telematics Control Module (TCM) that connects onstar and provides GPS navigation ability. There is currently no issued recall. Yes, this can be provided for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Unlike 2024 vehicles, where Android Auto is supported, providing a safe, hands free workaround for the failure of the TCM, on 2025 models, GM deliberately removed s…
3 weeks ago all the warning lights went off. The vehicle is still under warranty. I brought it to the dealership. They denied the warranty because of mud that was caked on the undercarriage damaging the wiring and steering assembly. This truck was used on a dirt driveway that gets wet and muddy during the spring. That is what a truck is for. I believe there is a manufacturing defect that caused this problem.

Vehicle does not indicate when rear doors are ajar or not properly latched. Vehicle information center shows when front doors or frunk is open. Results are either door swinging open when not properly latched or in my case, as the vehicle does not know that the doors are open, immediately locking the vehicle with the fob in my bag on the rear seat. I disabled the walk away locking feature for now as I only have 30 days of remote services with the vehicle to unlock vehicle from my phone. Vehicle is currently at Chevy dealer for troubleshooting.…

NHTSA SAFETY COMPLAINT – HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY FAULT & LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL Vehicle: chevy Silverado EV LT Mileage at most recent incident: ~5,400+ miles Incident date: December 17, 2025 Description of the Problem This is the third occurrence of a high-voltage battery fault warning, and the second time involving active vehicle malfunction while driving. • First occurrence: ~700 miles then at 1040 miles • High-voltage battery warning displayed • Vehicle taken to dealer and returned the same day • No noticeable d…
The rear passenger door sensors are not working on my vehicle as delivered from the factory/dealer. Upon opening the rear doors, there is no indication on the instrument panel/dome illumination as is present for the front passenger doors. With 4 independent doors it would appear to be a possible safety concern as the rear doors could unknowingly be open while driving. This issue has been discussed by several Silverado EV WT owners at the forum (linked below) and at least one dealer has diagnosed the issue as a missing ground wire on the do…

What component failed: The “regen on demand” switch broke while using it. Safety: This incident put me, the occupants of my vehicle (my children), and the vehicles around me at risk. Reproduction: There was no need. It is exceptional obvious that the switch is broken and has failed. Inspection: The truck and broken switch were observed by the dealership that services the truck. Warnings: There were no precursors to the failure. Narrative: On Thursday, 7/16/26, I was driving my 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV. I normally drive in “…
The Passenger Side door mirror is manufactured with flat glass and Not Convex glass. The flat glass field of view is not nearly wide enough for this large truck. This flat glass combined with the width of the truck (distance from the driver's head/eyes to the passenger door mirror), height and length of the truck creates a substantial risk for an accident while traveling on the roadway, highway or even maneuvering while parking. It is impossible to adjust the flat glass mirror to indicate a smaller car to the right side of this truck, and at…
2026 Silverado TrailBoss EV Windshield has laminate issues causing waves, distortion, and clarity issues. On several occasions this has caused vertigo/motion sickness while driving on the freeway. Vehicle was taken to Chevy dealership on 4/23 this issue has been confirmed and replacement parts on order. Under bumper to bumper warranty.
When the rear doors are opened on the truck, the interior lights do not come on which is a hassle when securing an infant in a car seat. Further to this, the door ajar symbol on the dash does not come on for either rear door, it does come on for the front doors. I talked to GM about this and they said that since it's a WT model with the base lighting there are no rear door lights or sensors. I found another person with the same model truck where there dealer found the same problem but fixed it.

On multiple occasion parking sensors activate for no reason. Emergency braking occurred while backing as well as while driving for no reason at all. High possibility of a crash occurring. Gm refuses to repair or replace. Gm stated dealer says vehicle has completed repairs and vehicle ready for pickup. Dealer has not repaired or replaced any items or parts.

While driving on Interstate 95 in Boynton Beach, Florida at highway speed, the vehicle began stuttering and then lost power brake assist. The instrument cluster displayed Service ESC followed by Brake assist failure, press hard to brake, speed limited. The red BRAKE telltale and the amber ABS telltale illuminated at the same time. The brake pedal became extremely loose and the vehicle did not decelerate as expected when I applied the brakes. The vehicle also derated itself to a 40 mph speed limit while I was still in highway traffic, which crea…
While in traffic over 45 miles per hour, the vehicle placed itself into a hazard mode due to the electric vehicle propulsion system. This happened so fast and the deceleration rate was so quick that it risked a rear end collision. This is the second time this has happened and both were following a heavy rain storm. I drove through a modest puddle that did not even submerge half of the tire wall making contact with the road and did so slowly. Less than five miles later, the vehicle goes into what my service advisor calls "limp mode." I have …
The vehicle experienced repeated high-voltage system warnings and battery conditioning system failures. On multiple occasions the “Service High Voltage System” message appeared along with codes P0530 and P1C26 related to the lithium-ion battery conditioning system that controls heating and cooling of the high-voltage battery pack. A critical U3578 code triggered an urgent OnStar alert requiring immediate service. The high-voltage fault was linked to an overcharged HVAC system that caused the A/C compressor to fail. This led to a full HVAC syste…

System reset after plugging into charging station for a few minutes. Occurred multiple times over the last two weeks.
Over the past three days, my digital gauge cluster and digital entertainment center have locked up while driving. This means I have no idea how fast I’m going no idea if my turn signals are working and no idea what percentage of charge I have left. The screen stays frozen, even after the card was turned off. I have to wait hours before the car decides to finally reset itself. I have a video I can upload if requested.

Onstar no longer working and the Onstar Module that needs to replaced is on backorder with no time frame of getting the part. Happening to many GM vehicles with Onstar.
Navigational system is not functioning properly. On Star button remains in on position. All apps on dash will not connect to internet. Google Map cannot locate exact location of vehicle. Also phone app for the vehicle no longer communicating with the truck. Can only use key fab for minor functions. Can only use vehicle for short range driving, since long range driving plans cannot be determined.
