Common Problems with the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado
Transmission Issues — Slams Into Gear; Jerks When Shifting; Shudder/Shake When Accelerating; Front Differential Grinding; Shaking/Vibration At Highway Speed; Torque Converter Failure.
Electrical System Problems:
“The wiring harness of the vehicle was placed too close to the frame and began wearing the wires down until they broke. Once this happened, the vehicle turned off while driving and would not restart for a few minutes. The vehicle would turn off repeatedly every few minutes leaving me stranded in the middle of the street until I could get the truck to turn off and restart. There was no warning on when the engine would shut off, it just happened randomly while driving and while in park.”
“The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle had stalled. After restarting the vehicle the check engine light had illuminated and the vehicle would not operate in first gear. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure and no service was performed. The vehicle was retrieved and the failures reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer who diagnosed that the engine wire harness was damaged while robbing against the engine components and the harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000.”
“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.”

Engine Problems — Lifter Issue; Engine Vibration And Transmission Knocking; Excessive Oil Consumption; Lost All Power While Driving; Oil Cooler Line Leaking; Power Reduction Light Keeps Engaging; Won't Start - Push Button Clicks.
Brakes Problems:
“Trailer brake service indication comes on constantly and cannot see speed use the radio or make a call. Already have changed the switch that they say is the problem, did not fix issues. Other mechanics on the internet are saying it's a wire harness between the switch and the module this needs to be replaced due to poor quality. We'll have a professional mechanic assess this but it looks like it's a common problem across the board. Please get GM to issue a recall on this because it becomes a safety issue, distraction and not able to read speed. Thanks”
“2019 Chevy Silverado RST turbo. 46K miles. Truck would feel like it skipped a gear a few times for a few months; I chalked it up to needing a new air filter. Had that and the oil changed. Ran normal for about 3 weeks. Check engine light came on and began flashing, service esc and service parking brake lights came on. Truck would vibrate while at an idle. Truck would not get up and go and when it go to 30mph, it would violently shake and stutter. Changed the 4 spark plugs, with number 4 being the worst, then 1, then 2 and 3. Mind you, the truck only has 46K miles. Got them replaced, removed the negative battery terminal to reset the codes and now the heat isn't working.”
“Pressed the brake and service ESC/ service Brake Assist/ Check Engine/ ABS/ lights came on. Speed was restricted to 43 mph, speed was restricted to 62 mph. Cruise control was disabled. Brake Pad monitoring system read incorrectly. Took it to dealership for further inspection.”
“I had to use my brakes hard because someone pulled in front of me. It drove fine for 10 miles afterwards on the interstate. I parked and turned the truck off but when I returned and turned the truck on the dash read ABS, Traction Control, EBS need service or failed as well as 43 miles per hour maximum speed. The power brakes do not work and the truck will not drive more then 43 mph.”
