Problems with 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

On average, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 starts to “feel” problems with the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and its various aspects after 2 919 miles.

Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

When i went to start the vehicle 'service brake assist", 'trailer brake malfunction (no trailer attached) and "service ecs" warnings illuminated on the instrument panel. i acknowledged the codes and was driving away and the brakes didn't work. i had to stand on the peddles to stop. the check engine light came on also. i restarted the vehicle and the brakes worked but the check engine light has stayed on. only have ~8000 miles on vehicle.

Out of nowhere multiple warning lights illuminated. esc, brake system failure, trailer brake failure, do not go over 62 mph. brakes were near non functioning.

Purchased new vehicle with less than 4,000 miles was running fine when parked. when it was cranked to go home listed esc failure, service steering column lock, trailering system failure, lane departure disabled, speed limited to 60 mph. i was able to get home, but the brakes were so hard that it was extremely difficult to stop. local dealer it was purchased through "fixed it" less than 1,500 miles later i'm having the same issue! obd has the codes c0021, c0021, p25a2, p25a2, p0606. i do not feel safe driving this truck! if that issue were to happen approaching an intersection i would have no way of stopping in time. ridiculous.

While reversing the rear-view camera turns off intermittently. an error message shows on the display. the display also flashes while applying brakes in reverse. dealer states gm is aware and does not have a fix for this dangerous issue. vehicle has 3300 miles. video and paperwork available.

When backing the vehicle at night the camera screen is so bright it blinds the driver and chevy has no way of adjusting the screen brightness.as of 1-27-2020 chevrolet is failing to address the problem and it will cause a accident

Reverse camera cuts in and out when backing up, lines in screen with a message saying service reverse camera. went to dealer and they have no fix for it, this is a safety concern as it is a camera for assisting long for a driving purpose.

Putting vehicle in reverse the reverse camera pops up but is extremely low quality, i had better quality on a screen half this size from ford that was 6 years older the screen is hazy with lines running across it, while reversing or pressing the brakes the screen gets glitchy and will even completely cut off and say 'service vision system, i have less than 100 miles on this truck, this should not be happening but it seems the dealers have no fix for it apparently

Took truck in for recall to reprogram brake system software informed i have one of the 'few' trucks that will no accept update and apparently working to find solution

On dec 16 i started my vehicle via the remote start. i then got in and my ecs, abs, traction control, steering and a lot more lights light up on the dashboard. i went to back it up i couldnt stop it unless i stuck my foot in it hard and i couldnt even steer it so i wouldnt wreck. called onstar they said to drive carefully but needs to be serviced within 7days. i parked it found another way to work and had my vehicle towed to the dealership. they said it was fixed and was just a battery issues and they fixed a couple of recalls. then on jan 26 not even a month later i was at the grocery store and started the truck, started backing up and the dashboard started lighting warnings and i couldnt get the truck to stop. finally with everything i had i got it to stop. i had to get the vehicle home cause it was sunday so i put on my flashers drove less than 30mph and got it home thank goodness without causing a wreck. had it towed back to another dealer and you know this dealer blamed the other dealer said they didnt do something right and they just reset the system. a week later, and again having it towed with my own insurance cause onstar wouldnt tow it to the dealer i wanted. i wasnt even offered a loaner vehicle.

I was driving down i10 in baytown, tx the truck began to shake and i was unable to accelerate. i was in the middle of the highway hen the truck just decelerate and i was going 25 mi/hr in a 65 mi/hr zone.

The rear backup camera is full of static interference at night creating safety issues when trying to back up. it's virtually unusable and creates a safety hazard especially while traveling with my two children. i've almost crashed into different objects or vehicles in attempts to back up the truck. i took the truck in to have this fixed, two weeks after buying the vehicle. they were unable to fix this issue. i need some help on a resolution.

The issue i have with my 2019 silverado is the rear vision or back up camera. the camera is basically useless at night because the resolution becomes extremely distorted and blurry. the camera will also go completely black while the vehicle is in motion such as backing into my driveway off a busy public road. i believe this is a extremely dangerous safety issue considering children are often riding bikes or playing on the sidewalk i'm backing across the enter my driveway. i have had the truck into the dealership for the problem but they claim the camera is working as it should making this situation extremely frustrating. i know this is not an isolated issue because my father has the exact same truck and we both have the problem also many people on forums have the problem. i really hope gm comes out with a fix for this issue before someone is killed or injured.

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the front driver and passenger door lock failed to unlock from the inside while attempting to use the door switch on the door panel. the vehicle was taken to (blaise alexander chevrolet located at (405 alexander dr, muncy, pa 17756, (570) 505-5530) where it was diagnosed. the mechanic was unable to state the cause of the failure. the contact stated that a new actuator was installed however, the failure recurred. the contact also stated that the defogger activated independently on several occasions. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle performed as designed. a case was filed with the manufacturer. the failure mileage was approximately 18,000.

The rear view camera is absolutely blinding in low light conditions /at night. also the screen is glitchy at best. the screen constantly cuts out and the picture distorts when applying the brakes. compared to cameras and screens on other vehicle of lesser quality and less money this camera is absolutely unacceptable. a $52k truck should have a camera /infotainment screen of better quality than this. this technology has been out long enough to have hd quality as a standard feature. gm should make this right or i'm sure there will be a lot of new ford customers in the coming years.

Truck is 8 months old, less than 10k miles on it. steering locked up backing out of my driveway. esc warnings, and various other electrical warnings. dealer stated it needs steering column or gear as they saw the codes and do not want me to drive the vehicle. vehicle has been at dealer since november 1st (45 days and counting) gm has stated part should ship the week of december 30th... even if it goes well this will be 60 days in a row without my truck! definitely should be compensated for this. roadside assistance was 2 hours late, dealership gave away loaner, then when i got a loaner dealership asked me to bring it back within a week because they sold the loaner... now driving a small suv instead of my big truck. hmmmm.

When backing up and stepping on the brake my backup camera shows lines and its blurry on the truck screen.

When backing up the rear view camera flash's out everytime i press the brakes and also there are lines through the screen.

The backup camera blinks and fades out. much of the time the screen is fuzzy. this occurs while stationary or in motion. during night time i can barely see what's behind me for the screen is dark and blurry.

360 camera system works, then screen goes blue with "service rear vision system" (xxxx) i have several children on my block and this could cause serious injury this was from the day i bought it redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 chevrolet silverado 1500. while the vehicle was in reverse, the back up camera image would glitch and flicker. the image was distorted and difficult to view. the vehicle was taken to tipotex chevrolet (1600 north express way, hgwy 77, brownsville, tx) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to a faulty computer; however, a remedy was not available. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 9-5563675162. the failure mileage was 100.

While traveling backwards in reverse, the backup camera flickers, becomes fuzzy, or has a white line through the 7" touchscreen anytime the brakes are applied.

On june 16th 2019 i drove down to atlanta, ga for a baseball game. midway i stopped for gas. when i turned back on the truck, i realized that i had lost a and if i get an amount of my braking ability. however, i had no lights on mu dash to indicate a failure to the braking system. i read on a gm forum that other owners experienced the problem, turned off the vehicle for 30 mins, turned back on the vehicle and the brakes worked again. they, however, had lights indicating a brake failure. i followed the forums suggestions and after 30 mins with my truck off, i drove the truck again and had no further issues. i took the vehicle into the service department, but as i expected they could not replicate the issue. i wanted to start a paper trail though incase the issue reoccurred. on july 10th the same braking issue occurred again. this time i was near my dealership in greenville, sc. i took the vehicle to the dealership and they were able to confirm a loss of over 50% of braking but no lights or check engine code (past or present) indicating a brake failure. i am very concerned and believe this truck is unsafe because of the braking issues and lack of confirmation of service lights on the truck dash. it is a death trap. they are not able to confirm a fix either due to not having a service error code to fix and turn off. vehicle was in motion when issues occurred both times. on both occasion as, serious car accidents almost happened due to lack of braking ability.

Brand new truck an the back up camera flashes flickers, is terrible to see, backing up.gm says its normal. not normal especially when the catalog says camera is hd 7", never seen a back up camera be able to flash and flicker when the lights are actuated brakes are on. means there is a draw in the system. there is tinterference with it and the electrical system. i also have the traction control relay clicking everytime the traction control comes on. have had three vehicles and never heard that to be normal. head lights are so dim the cars behind me brighten the road . these lights dont even light the refelctors on the road. but apparently normal you can put led in , but have to pay for it. just keep driving and cant see where your going until you get hurt. also add led and void your warranty.

With only 500 miles on the truck/engine oil pressure has been dropping drastically while going from drive to idle. it drops frim 60 to under 30. also battery power gauge drops well below 14 when originally was over 14. this also began at the same time oil pressure issues began.

My truck has an issue when at low speeds 30mph and under all check warning lights will come on my esc (electric steering control) will come on when this happens i loose power steering and when that happens the steering wheel returns to center. this has happened three times since buying the vehicle new i had not had the vehicle for a month when all the issue started to happen. when i loose the power steering the power for brakes go out as well i have almost been in an accident because of this it's a very scary situation when it happens. after all the warning lights would come on, power running boards would also cycle up and down on there own, the only light that would stay on was: service trailer brake system.

Just driving lost brakes and esc came on won't speed up

On trucks equipped with the cheaper low trim backup cameras anytime i touch the brakes while backing up the camera cuts out. it's usually a white flash or solid white line but on occasion will cut out completely to a black screen.

Pulling out of a gas station onto a highway my dash display showed "service power steering drive with care" i noticed i had no power assist to my steering and the steering was extremely hard to steer at best. i also received the message "service ecs" at this point i had little control of the direction the vehicle was going and managed to pull over. i also noticed the following functions stopped working, cruise control, traction control, lane assist, auto stop, etc. i let the vehicle sit about 20 minutes and restarted. no errors remained and i went on my way. scary situation to be in on a highway.

Drivers mirror problem can't close or mirror unattaches and opens clear to the windshield and comes lose and moves while driving so doesn't function correct and service steering wheel lick issues comes on.

Multiple warning screens appear on the instrument panel and infotainment screen. they flash on and off, like a light show, and are extremely distracting while driving, especially at night. each time they flash on they cause me to look down at the instrument panel. i am concerned this distraction will cause me to get in an accident. there is nothing i can do to turn them off. these warnings randomly appear whenever the vehicle is running, be it stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway, turning, braking, pulling a trailer, not pulling a trailer. this safety risk has been ongoing ever since i purchased the vehicle new one month ago. i live in minnesota. i have brought the vehicle to a dealership for repairs twice, but the problem persists. i have been told that gm has been aware of the issue since last fall, but has failed to resolve the problem. i took photos of some of the warnings that have randomly appeared and will upload them with this report.

In cold temperatures, this truck constantly throws error codes 'trailer disconnected' 'lane change alert disabled', and 'rear cross traffic disabled'. these errors are extremely distracting and have nearly caused me to get into accidents clearing the errors. gm is aware of the issue but has no solution. please help.

Rear view camera blury and fuzzy. very poor street lighting while driving ! safety related issues!!!!
