My truck is at Hubler Cevrolet in Greenwood, IN with engine oil cooler lines leaking at 40,000 miles. GM Customer satisfaction program for some vin numbers expired in 2023 (N212326940). My vin was identified as being ineligible. Upon my own further research these trucks are known to have issues with leaking or rupturing oil cooler lines leading to catastrophic engine failure. I suspect that the manufacturer of the previously covered lines is the same although the part application number may be different. The manufacturer produced a defective oil cooler line that is previously know to fail especially in cold climates. I am Indianapolis, IN where temperatures have been below 0 at times and is frequently below freezing during winter. My lines starting leaking after the first freeze, about 4

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!

12/27/2020 36,000 mi ODI #11385160.0

I bought a 2019 Chevrolet silverado 1500hd used and every since I've had it, it has a vibration at highway speeds. I've had it back to chenoweth Ford where I bought it twice now and they sent me to harry green Chevrolet dealer and no one has a clue what is causing it. I have been researching this year, make and model vehicle and have found alot of people with this same issue that they are calling the "Chevy shake" which appears to have been going on since 2014 through 2020. I even found a class action lawsuit on this issue. The truck has 36,000 miles on it and I would say this is the reason the previous owner traded it off. I was given a rental car once when I took it in for repair because they had it until the next day. Which when I picked it up they said that the vibration was 90 percent

Merging into 70 to 80 MPH traffic on interstate i95 my truck stalled abruptly to 45 MPH and at 3000 RPM would not shift out of the lower gear it went it. I had to merge quickly to the emergency lane with on coming traffic doing all they could to get around around me. Had to have the vehicle towed.

The back up camera at night is blinding due to brightness and is non-adjustable to dim. Brightness of screen makes it difficult to adjust vision looking away from it to use side mirrors. Safety issue with a moving vehicle.

12/27/2019 4,400 mi ODI #11291452.0

So, I took it in 12/17/19 for oil change, etc. There was 3 recalls and picked the truck up 12/18/19. 12/19/19 at 6 pm the truck wouldn't stop! I took it on 12/19/19 and they looked into it. They reinstalled the software, and drove it longer to check it out. I picked it up yesterday, after being told it's good to go. Well, it happened again this morning!

12/26/2024 ODI #11632373.0

I had known transmission problems resulting in $5974 repairs. I consider this an extreme safety issue. Had the transmission failed in heavy traffic, it would present a dangerous situation for both me and others near me. This is a known issue by GM, nothing is being done to correct this problem.

Service park brake and service ESC lights are on, check engine on and motor making a knocking noise

12/27/2022 ODI #11499047.0

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.

When driving the vehicle in an ice storm the brake function went completely. The brake pedal would not engage. I had to put truck into low. Almost caused a severe accident given the weather and the loss of any brake function. I was in a city pulling forward.

12/28/2019 5,224 mi ODI #11291789.0

As I left to head to the store this evening I immediately had 3 codes come up on my dash after I turned the ignition on. (brake system failure. 62mph top speed. Service trailer brake system. Service ESC). I thought it was a glitch so I backed down my driveway with resistance of the brakes. I had it in 4x4 due to snow so I assumed its just feeling rough from that. I proceeded to drive down the street I live on to a major road and went straight into cross traffic because the truck would not stop. I nearly died from a snow plow coming. I pumped the brakes once I didn't feel them working and it felt like I was pushing on a cement block. This is unacceptable as I have come close to dying in a recalled cobalt before bow I have to worry about this truck since theres no active recall-just like the

I had a recall performed at a dealership and they confirmed the vehicle is running properly. I noticed that the next day my lane keep assist was turned off and not functioning. Later that same day when approaching a stop sign, I noticed that 4 warning messages appeared on my dash. The first said power steering assist disable, the next service ESC, the next trailer brake disabled, the next vehicle limited to 62mph.

12/26/2019 3,000 mi ODI #11291219.0

On 12/26/2019 at 05:40 am, I got in my truck (2019 silverado lt allstar) and started the engine. I immediately received multiple warning messages on my dash panel. They were "service ESC", "brake system failure" "steering assist reduced" and to drive no faster than 62 MPH. Prior to parking the night before on 12/25/2019 I had never had any problems whatsoever. On 12/26/2019 I was heading to work but found quickly that the brake pedel went all the way to the floor with very limited or basically no braking. The steering became very difficult with no apparent power assist.

The backup assist camera is too bright to see side mirrors and look out the back window when backing up in the dark. It is very dangerous to try and maneuver the vehicle with such a bright light in the cab.

12/29/2025 ODI #11707666.0

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
