2 TRUCKS - 90,000 TOTAL MILES - 1 FAILED ENGINE - 1 FAILED TRANSMISSION. After my 2017 GMC Sierra dropped its poorly engineered, and now discontinued 8 speed transmission at 74,000 easy hwy miles, my 2021 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss LT now has a catastrophic engine failure with only 16,000 miles. GM is breaking my heart. I have always been a GM loyalist. Both my grandfathers spent their entire careers working for GM. Nothing else has ever been allowed in the driveway. Seriously. Today, I am sadly rethinking that position. Let me detail my latest experience (still underway): - Repeated engine lights kick "service exhaust warning". - Take into the dealership who gives it back to me saying they followed the GM bulletin and could not service the vehicle because they could not get the issue to duplicate within 50 miles. - More engine lights. Make another appointment at dealership - Two days before appointment the lifters on one side of engine ail. Vehicle is undriveable. Service emergency brake light comes on. Service traction control comes on. Service ABS brakes comes on. - GM reported faulty parts on the engine's lifters, but will only fix the side that has already failed. They told me if it had failed with less miles on it then they would of replaced both sides. Remember I brought it in once already and they gave it back to me - "nothing wrong". Today it only has 16k miles on it. - So... I call GM. 3 Days to get my case advanced to a case manager - Shrazondalyn (who is very nice but neutered in her ability to help me) - I request a replacement engine or both sides of the engine's lifters replaced. 7 more days waiting on a response.... no call. - Call Shrazondalyn back who informs me my request for a new engine or full lifter replacement bas been denied. - My case is still open today waiting on a second "escalation" request which I've already been informed will take 2 to 4 more business days to get a response, and will likely result in the same denial of a proper repair, and that I will not be able to speak with the actual staff member making the decision. So where does that leave me... It leaves me with a brand new truck whose other lifters are likely to fail and leave me stranded on the road. It leaves me with a potentially damaged cam that will fail in another 10 - 15,000 miles and again leave me on the side of the road. It leaves me in a position where I am forced to sell the truck, or pay myself to fix it properly. The dealership quoted me $3500 to replace the other side of the engine's lifters. I am broken. Last year I forked out $4400 to replace a transmission, and now after patronizing GM and purchasing what I thought would be a reliable 2021 Silverado Trail Boss, I am left with the option of another huge vehicle expense or a forced sale of my truck. I am terribly disappointed in not only my personal experience, but discouraged by the the response of a company I have chosen to support my entire adult life. I currently own three GM vehicles, but if they don't get this one right, I am afraid it will be my last three. UPDATE: I sold it and bought a Tundra with the old and reliable 5.7

The problems started with just 300 miles with A/C issues. I have had my Trail Boss 5.3l since December 2nd, and it has been in the shop 7 times. It has been in for A/C issues 5 times, purge valve once, and then a lifter failure which damaged 2 injectors and bent 2 push rods. Needless to say with just 6700 miles on it, I got rid of it. GM has no answers for the A/C issues and there are multiple trucks in the shop with lifter failures.

I have a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado and I have been to the dealership 3 time with issues with my check engine light coming on with less then 3000 miles on the truck. Each time I go it’s the same code. They tell me we could not find any issues so we just reset the light. I am sick of this truck I will be going back to the dealership in the morning due to the fact my check engine light is back on for the 4th time in less then 3 months.

GM Needs to Recall - Another "Bad Lifter" Case

Purchased new in December 2021. Just rolled over 8,000 miles. As many others have stated the problem started with a single "knock". Issues escalated quickly. After driving just 12 miles after I first heard the "knock" I had a flashing check engine light, solid traction control light, parking break light, "check ESC" messages, horrible low idle vibrations, and loud knocking. I contacted GM Roadside Assistance, who "rescued" the truck and took it to the nearest dealership. Diagnostics lit up like a Christmas tree. Misfires in three cylinders (primarily one - 11,000 misfires). Replacement lifters for one "bank" ordered. I'll be shocked if they don't find residual damage once they tear they "disassemble" the motor. Pretty horrible feeling to have a brand new $60K truck with a junk motor. I'll regret my decision to purchase this lemon, after owning Toyota vehicles the past 15 years, until the day I can get rid of it. This is definitely a case where the cover looks MUCH better than what's under the cover.

Started noticing a intermittent vibration/shutter at about 4,000 miles when gently giving it gas. It has about 9,000 miles on it now and does it all the time. It's a 2.7l 4cyl. Has been to 3 dealers, 1 dealer twice. TheY magically say there's nothing wrong with it. One dealer did say yea I noticed it but, that's because it's a 4cyl. Every person that rides in it asks mE why it's doing that. I feel like I'm being lied to by the dealers just so they don't have to fix it. I absolutely hate driving this truck!!!!! Only kept it for 6 months do not but v8 or or any with 8speed tranny!!!

Bought a new 2021 silverado 1500 high country deluxe, 5 months 8000km later heater core is plugged went to service department they did not have any blue devil radiator flush so would not perform the flush. Drove 4 hours to buy 14$ bottle of flush had then do flush no change then 2 days to change heater core fast forward a month 15k cylinder 1 exhaust lifter failure 2 days to fix and only one side repaired. Two days later -30 and once again drivers side barely any heat unless reving the engine past 1500rpm. Service department has been good to me but good luck trying to get ahold of gm canada 3 weeks and still can't reach anyone 90,000$ truck and treated like crap my recommendations is do not buy this truck. Interior is nice music is insane quality and loads of other nice features but they ain't worth nothing if your vehicle don't have heat or a engine
Do Not Buy

Brand new 2022 Silverado Custom, and my first GM product ever. Less than a month of owning it, one day it decided not to start and the battery was completely dead. I received an e-mail from OnStar saying there was an airbag issue and to contact the dealer within 1 day. This was a Sunday, so I did an online service appointment for Monday. Got the truck in and after going insane about not getting any calls from the dealership days after it had been there, I was told the front collision module was shorting out and a GM engineer was assigned to my truck to diagnose it. After nearly 2 weeks at the dealership, I got the truck back and wouldn't you know, the same issue again. It's back at the dealership and I am now told the GM engineer may have to come to the dealership to diagnose the truck. In addition to the safety issues regarding forward collision detection, the key fob will randomly lock itself inside the vehicle, and the factory paint job is a disaster on the drivers side doors. Never took notice to the paint since I picked it up while it was raining out. In direct sunlight the paint looks like a hologram and I was told by the Sales Manager and Service Dept that it is a factory defect. Piece of junk this truck is and very poor build,

Trailboss stutters like a dog shXXXX a peach seed

I have little more than 1000 miles on a new 2021 Trail boss Lt with 5.3 and 10 speed trans and its already in the shop. When accelerating at low speeds the truck stutters and lurches like a dog trying to shXXX a peach seed. Ive seen so many comments on this i don't know what the problem is but this is what Ive read. Some say its the transmission and some say its due to the DFM others say its due to an improper torquing of the ball joint. but one thing they all have in common is the dealer cant or wont fix in most cases.I fear I just purchased a 50,000 dollar paper weight. I'm extremely worried because this is now the only vehicle I own and I bought it for reliability. I had no idea chevy has dropped so far down the list of reliable vehicles it has been 20 years since I bought my last truck and it was a Dodge Ram. If they cant fix this stuttering truck I will not be able to drive it and I will not be able to buy a new vehicle for many years. I see many people have had this issue going back a quite a few years. it started with the 8 speed transmissions and they still haven't fixed with the new 10 speed transmission. many say the 10 speed trans is awesome but dont beleive it, do your research and you'll see that this stuttering and lurching has been an ongoing issue since this 10 speed trans has been out.i have truck at dealer now and they say it will be a week before they can even look at it.I wiil update my review after receiving truck back from dealer. One thing is for sure if they return to me and say it fine just live with it like I've read from many who have posted about this issue. I will return this truck weekly until they fix it or replace the truck this is unacceptable for a new truck to go into shop 1 month and 1000 miles after purchasing brand new.

2021 loaded Silverado LTZ - lifter broke at 14200 miles on the interstate while my wife was driving with 3 grandkids in the back seat- truck basically shut down - warning lights everywhere- my previous Chevys were bullet proof - it’s in the shop with the engine torn down. GM will only fix the side that was affected- can’t wait to see what happens next…
