2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Electrical System

My Chevrolet Silverado has unresolved Electronic Stability Control (ESC) issues after recall reprogramming was performed twice under my VIN. The vehicle is shaking, hesitating, experiencing reduced acceleration, and feels like it may stall while driving. The truck is unsafe to operate. Dealer diagnosis is scheduled. GM Customer Care advised me to take it to the dealership before escalation. This is a loss-of-propulsion safety concern combined with unresolved ESC recall repairs. Vehicle has approximately 130,000 miles. Symptoms include shaking, hesitation, near-stall, and power loss while driving. ESC recall previously performed and still not resolved. Vehicle is drivable but unsafe. Blinking Engine light code cylinder 1 misfire. All ESC lights on parking brake, traction control.

Transmission/ignition. Can not lock vehicle and battery will die. When turning the ignition to off, dash message 'shift to park' appears. Must turn ignition on and off repeatedly to get it to go out. Dealership tried tightening a plug but it did not work.

Rear window defrosted heated up so hi my window exploded

backup camera comes on when brakes are applied. Very dangerous at night time while driving as bright backup camera displayed on screen hinders your vision to see the road.

When attempting to park the truck and shut the engine off, a message appears on the dash stating that I should "shift to park". I have already made the shift to park but the system will not allow the electrical system to shut down. A loud beeping begins, door locks remain open and inoperable, the vehicle is then unsecurable and the ignition remains open/on which in time will run the battery down. Disconnection from the battery will stop the drain on the battery for this particular event but will not cure the problem nor erase data that has sometime worked on complex computer controlled devices. I refuse to allow my wife to take the vehicle to park at any location for fear of her safety to secure or lock the vehicle and, in the event she would have to vacate the vehicle it would increase the possibility of theft of the truck. GM has recalled other makes of their products for the same problems which I understand was also reported to NHTSA and has also suffered litigation in the form of class action suits which was won by consumers in the states of Tennessee and Ohio. After consulting the dealership with the complaint, I was instructed that GM has not issued a recall for these trucks which experience the same problem as those they were required to recall and repair. The costs for such repair by the consumer is unreasonable and unwarranted by reasons that this is a manufacturing AND certainly a SAFETY problem for the consumer. Their disregard for safety and quality control has been demonstrated continually as research in this matter and other complaints of GM problems are and continue to be numerous. This vehicle is IS out of the normal warranty range. However, just as the problem with the brakes that suddenly failed just after the warranty expired on this vehicle which was also a major safety problem, extensive testing of GM safety performance is not a priority but rather they ship it out the door to consumers and just see what happens. Thanks you for your time. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Shift to Park light comes on during shut off.

Key keeps getting stuck when I put it in park and turn off truck! It’s off and on park but it won’t release the key! This happens every day!

Tailgate keeps coming down on its own while driving and parked.

My DIC showed a message of Shift to Park. This has prevented me from turning my truck off. I have been stranded on a couple of occasions until finally I was able to push the Stop/Start button to turn my truck off. Also has prevented me from locking my truck at times. The fact that I can't turn my truck is a real safety problem and also creates the possibility of it rolling down hill. Being stranded is the worst part and if I can't turn my truck off at some point the battery is going to go dead. There are several bulletins out on at least 5-6 GM cars with this problem - #19-NA-206 and 04-00-89-053 from engineering. I finally to feel safe I had to go to my local Chevy store and get it fixed costing me 563.24 plus tax. I need to be reimbursed for this as GM has been aware of this problem since 2018.

When the engine turns on the ESC light come up and start beeping. While driving the light goes off and later on while driving it appears that ESC is off after 1-2 minutes its says ESC is on again.

At a major intersection of several lanes north/south & east/west silverado stalled while waiting for the red light to change. Engine cutoff, would not restart, and situation was high traffic time at a high traffic intersection. Car was towed, problem diagnosed as the electronic sensor would not allow electricty to the starter motor. required part is not available, it turns out that this is reportedly a common problem. The truck is a Silverado 2019 with 36,811 miles. Reportedly out of warranty but this appears to be a common problem and certainly is the kind of problem that would be many years down the road

Blower motor quit working and started on fire,truck burnt down

Vehicle would stall unexpectedly while driving. Had to pull over (coast to stop) and disconnect battery in order to get pickup running again. Dealership eventually found broken/corroded wires in main power harness to ECM. Appears to be related to GM service bulletin 21-NA-149.

> What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - This has happened about 5 times over the past 2 years when we come to a complete stop and Auto-Stop is turned on. So far it hasn't happened with Auto-Stop off, so it's an assumption that this is part of the issue. We come to a stop, the engine powers down (Auto-Stop) but all battery-powered features remain on. When we go to accelerate, everything completely loses power. It has taken up to 5 minutes to power back up. When this occurs, all we can do is open the door if it's unlocked - there is zero power to any part of the vehicle and there are no noises coming from anywhere. The vehicle is available for inspection on request. > How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - The vehicle loses all power. We cannot turn on hazard lights, brake lights to alert others in traffic that we're unable to move or start the vehicle. If there was a need to move the vehicle quickly, we would not be able to do so. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - No, they're never able to reproduce the issue despite reporting it at least twice on service visits. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - It has been inspected by the dealer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - Not before it happens, but after the vehicle finally starts up, the dashboard message indicates we should roll the driver's window down and back up again. The date of the incident is the last reported instance.

Rear Window Defroster Thermal Events. Using the rear windows defroster you can hear arching and smell electrical parting making bad or lose contact. I have found other truck from the same year, doing the same thing. NHTSA has a letter from the other truck and suvs in that range. But some how this truck is not on the list for recall.

Backup camera turned blue, not allowing me to view if a child is behind my truck. This is a safety issue because a child could be killed because you cannot see them. I have found out that this is an issue with allot of gm trucks/cars. But gm does not see this as an issue enough to put out a recall!

The screen for the backup camera is too bright causing the inability to use mirrors at night. I was told at the dealership that they could not touch it.

On multiple occasions while using an Apple phone that is connected to the vehicle via the USB port. While on a phone call, the call will drop, and the radio will turn up to full volume and will not shut off until the entire vehicle is pulled over and completely powered off. During the most recent event the radio did not shutoff even after vehicle was parked and powered down. It eventually shut off after the autotimer shut down all of the accessories power after the timeout time. The volume blast has happened twice in heavy metro Detroit, rush hour traffic. The volume level is extraordinarily distracting & when on the expressway, its nearly impossible to find a safe or practical place to power down the vehicle to reset the radio. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer to "flash" the radio, however it has not repaired the problem.

I have had several check engine codes on my truck. From what what the dealership tech put in his notes there is a bulletin on this. So, gm recognizes this is an issue. The dealership had to replace several wires on my ECM wiring harness due to damage from rubbing against the harness bracket. I feel that gm should issue a recall to fix the rubbing on the harness and I feel gm should have to replace the whole harness not just the damaged wires. I feel this is a hazard for these vehicles do to being on the internet state. I feel it will cause catastrophic injuries to the occupant as well as other drivers. It's hard to guess what that would cause the truck to do especially since everything is connected to the ECM.
