2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 wheel problems

WHEELS

in beginning of January of 2026 my vehicle had lifter issues. Brought it to Chevrolet Group 1 in Spring Texas. Three weeks without transportation. Beginning of February the vehicle stopped in the middle of the feeder. Vehicle lights up but goes dark for five seconds and will not start. Had it towed back to the same dealership and told it was the battery cable that needs to be replaced. Three weeks passed no transportation. In the middle of April 16 2026 I was driving on the feeder in the far right lane and the front right wheel came off hanging by only the tie rod. the vehicle slid a good 700 to 900 almost crashing into a muffler shop gate. Upon inspection the muffler shop mechanic notice that the front right upper control arm bolt threads are not damaged and the nut is missing.

I am writing to formally express my frustration regarding the ongoing issues with my vehicle. The vehicle continues to overheat, the check engine light repeatedly comes on, and it has cut off unexpectedly. The tire air pressure sensors as well.These issues have persisted despite multiple repair attempts. I initially brought the vehicle to the dealership in December 2024, and again in March 2025 and now the vehicle is having the same issues to date December 2025. On both occasions, the vehicle remained at the dealership for over a month for repairs. Unfortunately, the problem has not been resolved. Each time I inquire, I am given different explanations as to why the issue cannot be fixed, which has been extremely frustrating and concerning. Additionally, I am being charged for services that I do not fully understand or agree with, especially given that the original problem still exists. Due to the lack of resolution, I have also contacted GMC directly to file a formal complaint. At this point, the ongoing delays, lack of clear communication, and unresolved mechanical issues are unacceptable. I requested a clear explanation of all charges, as well as a concrete plan outlining the steps needed to finally fix my vehicle. Please provide the appropriate point of contact and advise on how this issue will be resolved promptly. I expect immediate attention to this matter. Thank you.

engine replacement at 60k miles due to metal pieces broken down and shredded in engine, happened while driving. dealer replaced engine because i had extended warranty. Few months later the transmission failed and they replace with a brand new transmission because i had extended warranty. Now 15k miles later my wheels randomly lock up when turning corners. very dangerous. I can dig for every fine detail and time stamps and paper tail but i saw article on gm issues with engine and wanted to share. they didn’t want me to come forward when all of this happened.

They sold me a vehicle at the dealer. Three days after I bought it, I had to buy tires for it. Because they were in bad condition, they also charged me for a liquid called 3m nitro and I don't understand why they put it in if the tires were in bad condition, and they also promised to fix some details on the bumper and details on the paint on the body of the truck, and the transmission has already started to fail, and they don't want to help me or take responsibility. The truck still has a Dealer warranty.

The ball joint for the front left tire broke while driving on a straight road and caused over $2,100 worth of damage to the wheel, axle, brake, etc. I had no warning or anything when this happened. It felt like my tire popped and when I pulled over, the wheel was still attached but was sitting at an awkward angle. The shop quoted me at $2,154 as there were 5 or 6 different parts they needed to repair including the ball joint, axle, brakes, brake sensors, rim, etc.

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!

PULLED OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION SITE AFTER A WORK DAY AND THE WHEELS ON MY TRUCK LOCKED UP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF I WAS PULLING INTO A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW. THE TRUCK WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE WAY THE WHEELS STOPPED, IT FELT LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGING WHEN I DRIVE. MAYBE THIS IS SOME KIND OF LIMP MODE TO PREVENT DAMAGE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAIL-SAFE TO IMPLEMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT PEOPLE DEPEND ON FOR WORK. I DO NOT THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST SILVERADO MODEL WITH AN ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE. OH YAH, AND THIS JUST COINCIDENTALLY HAPPENED 1000 MILES AFTER MY BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED. ALSO, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS JUST A CALL CENTER IN INDIA. DON'T BOTHER CALLING THEM.
