I Bought a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado LT Trail Boss in March, and This Thing Is a Piece of Work. I’ve Never Had This Many Problems With a Truck in Such a Short Time

I owned a 2024 chevy 2500 for 15 months. It went to 4 dealers to address 13 issues. 7 times it was in for the same problem...infotainment chaos. No dealer could FIx the constant barrage of failure modes. I had an open complaint file number at gm customer service. After many conversations I made the mistake of asking when gm would conclude this truck was a lemon and would replace it. After that fateful question they never answered my many calls and messages and stopped all email communication. My morals prevented me from selling the truck outright so i sold the truck to a dealer and I'm sure they passed it onto their next victim. I now have a ford 250 super duty in my driveway with zero issues.

There's NO such thing as a reliable GM vehicle...

Well it's a craptastic Shitvrolet what do you expect biggest POS assembled by the highest drunkest dumbest auto union on the planet

I have a 2024 Z71 RST with the 5.3. I have had zero issues with mine. Love my truck.

I have a 2022 LT 1500..

And the transmission keeps slipping..I’ve taking it back 2 times to three dealers.. and they all say the same they could not find anything wrong with it, but it slips all the time that’s the biggest problem I have…

What happened to GM/Chevrolet? Their trucks and cars use to be solid! I own a 2018 Silverado LT with the 5.3 ltr V8. The transmission has a heavy, loud clunk when slowing down to a stop! A know problem that GM won't do a recall for! There's also a ton of rust on the frame. Cheap steel!! I'll buy a RAM, Toyota, or Ford before buying another Chevy. My allegiance to GM is go e!!

Here's something that I would bet on, the truck was in some sort of flooded area. The setting and water for a decent period of time. Not so much completely submerged, but enough to cause issues with dampness in the electronics cameras and other things. Years ago we bought a brand new GM vehicle, and had nothing but problems. A TrailBlazer! Just constant problems. Later on, about 2 years later, we found out that it had been setting in water.. Make them invoke the lemon law. It's something that they didn't have then. After a certain number of visits, and nothing but problems, they have to replace the vehicle. They don't want to do it, they'll give you every excuse in the book, but that's what they need to do. If you can lawyer up, you might be able to get a little extra. Remember the customer is not always right in their eyes.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado here, one yr in, had issues whit the DEF tank, 3 month back order, last year in june had an accident caused by valve bodies in transmission, three month back order, got them, they said ya these won’t fix this transmission, new , another three month back order, def tank and tranny problems totaled 9 months with out truck. Have owned Chevrolet my whole life, love them. But things are changing i guess .

First things first, I have an 2007 Silverado 1500 Classic Z71 5.3L and I have had no major issues with the motor, transmission, or transfer case. My suggestion to people looking to purchase a Silverado would be to purchase one from 2006-2015 after that there has been a lot of talk about the 6 speed and 8 speed transmission. Some of which has left people stranded in the road and the tool to release it is $400 bucks. Overall I have had Chevrolet vehicles for going on 30 years i trust them because I do research on yhe new models. Buy yourself a good used Silverado.

I've been a GM guy all my life & 70% of vehicles that I've purchased have been GM. I've purchased 5 Olds Cutlass Supremes. I had a 1993 Chevy Silverado with oil change every 5,000 miles that broke a valve at 328,000 miles. I had a 2011 GMC Sierra with regular oil changes that broke a valve at 212,000 thousand miles. I presently have a 1993 Silverado that I inherited from my father that is still running strong at 234,000 miles.

I’ve had my ‘24 TB for a year and a half. Same infotainment issues. They had to replace the whole system and then do multiple firmware updates because the auto pushes were glitched. I don’t think those onboard computers/infotainment systems are capable of extreme heat and glitch out. Then most recently had a squeaking from the underside. In a year and a half of ownership, they had to replace the whole exhaust because it started rusting through at the hanger. Fortunately it was warranties but come on! Do better GM/Chevy! This is my 2nd TB and I love the vehicle otherwise.

I bought a 2025 Chevy trailblazer in April and my rear camera is all blurry as of last week. I’m guessing it’s probably from moisture too.

I own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado LT Allstar Edition. My only issues with the truck have been brake module sensors, rear inverter factory wiring problems, and transfer case replacement. Which were all replaced under warranty. Currently at 115k miles, the ac has developed a leak, and I need my 2nd set of tires on the truck. Still have 50% life on my front brakes and 75% on my back brakes. Still in love with my truck since the day I bought it.

I am looking to buy a new truck. A friend of mine has a Tundra that he says is in the shop as often as he drives it. One particular problem they had to remove the whole cab to fix. I think every auto brand unfortunately is going to produce a lemon. If you have that much trouble with a new vehicle there are lemon laws that can help.

I have been leasing Chevy Silverado’s since 2017 I’m on my third one which I just bought. I never had one problem in 7 years- 3 vehicles . It must of been made on a Monday of a Friday lol. I have a co-worker that leased a Dodge Ram and in 7 months the Hemi engine had to be replaced. Thank god he leased it. He said lm glad I leased it because I can give it back at the end . I will say this …. I work with a lot of guys that own Chevy Silverados and Colorados and the love them My boss Just traded in his MR2 and got a trail boss . They love there vehicles . I think I was just a lemon that you got. Good luck ….

I’m in the same boat 😟
Purchased my Trail Boss a year earlier, right off the showroom floor and nothing but defects or issues too numerous to detail.
You’d think General Motors would want to know how bad a product managers were sending to dealerships across America, but I guess that’s not important?

2023 HIGH Country 3500HD duramax, allison tranny 30,000 MILES AND TRANNY LEFT ME SIT . ITS IN SHOP 3 WEEKS WAITING ON THE BACK ORDERED PART. KNOWN PROBLEM, EVERYONES IS GOING OUT. So now I have a new $90,000 truck sitting 3 weeks for repair and how many more weeks?, Months?
I'm paying insurance, payment, onstar, sirius radio, monthly car wash fees, not to mention a few others. I guess im out that for the first month. First Chevy I owned and first diesel. Yes I got a loaner, 1500 GMC. But it can't tow my trailer. Should I go back to Dodge, Ford? Some compensation should be given in cases like this. Could trade broken down vehicle and loose my ass.

I gave up on Chevys when the tailgate handles broke!

I have a 2024 trail boss bought it new. I have 24,000 on it so far no problems. I pull a 30 ' camper with it.

I have a 2021 trail boss that I got new I have had Chevys for as long as I can remember for my trucks and this truck is a big disappointment, it looks great but at about 35000 the lifters went and it was in the shop for a long time waiting for lifters now at 129000 the timing chain tensioner came apart and took out the intake valves, push rods and I am hoping not the heads , the cam has marks on it so replacing that and lifters oh this is a 6.2 motor that is being recalled but my vin is not on the list , I am now driving my 06 avalanche with 340000 on it so I know they can do better but I am looking at Ford and dodge right now I can't have a truck I can not trust ,,, so sad

I have a 2007 silverado HD and it does good so far. I've got only 50M miles on it. I use it to tow my 16 ft trailer. You see it doesn't get driven that much. When I saw other truck owners having to dump that Blue Def in the tank to keep it running, I am so grateful for my older, simpler, cheaper maintenance one. You shouldn't have to put additives in the tank just to make your vehicle run.

Bought my 2021 in 2023 with 14g on it!Purred like a kitten till about 25g and it’s hard shifting on take off and the control panel is junk when it’s cold and junk when my phone connects now!Butttons don’t react!Got my warranty for 100g will probably call a lawyer to help me figure it out!Just got a 60g service and dealer said everything looks good! It of course they would say that!So might have to go to court and get a new truck!Always loved Chevy!But now looks like their blowing smoke up my a$$!!

I purchased a,2012 GMC Sierra new in 2012. I also purchased the undercoating package from the dealership. I took the truck back every year to be touched up. I went for a vehicle inspection in 2023. I was informed by the mechanic (and shown) that the frame was rotten. This happened with certain Toyota trucks a few years back, but at least they replaced the frames on a recall. I have been a Chevy fan my whole life, but after this experience, I now drive a Toyota. Of course with my frame, I am on my own due to the fact that the warranty is only good for 10 years and I didn't find the problem until it was 11.5 years old. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the big three are turning out junk at outrageously high prices and will come up with any excuse not to support the customers that are their bread and butter. That's just my opinion, of course.

The best part of any Chevy is cutting the bed off of it and adding a tow bar to haul manure.

I bought a new 2023 Chevy trailboss loaded 6.2 liter V8.

My voice assistant will come on by itself saying I don't understand.

My cell phone through the radio will play a text message like it was a new text but from years ago.

My radio and blinker went silent had to reprogram the radio several times.

My crash sensor will come on and I have to pull fuse out to get it to go off

My signal light on driver side said bulb needs attention not blinking had to replace the whole head light assembly and gm didn't want to cover it.

Now having a recall where they need to check my engine serial number if I have that serial number they need replace my engine before it blows up.

I may go back to Ford after this truck experience I only have 30,000 miles on truck but I am frustrated also my friends

Flood truck

I'm driving a 2024, previously had a 2021, both RST
Zero major issues at all, and I beat the crap out of them for work(forestry)
I had a check engine light for an EGR valve that was quickly resolved(it didn't do anything, just had a warning light) by the dealer

Owner of 2020 Silverado, three motors do to lifter failure, 3 AC compressors, two water pumps and now the transmission is going out. I would never buy or recommend a GMC vehicle to my worst enemy.

I've had my 2022 Chevrolet Trail Boss 1500 since March of 2022. The only problem I've encountered was my tailgate switch malfunctioning and draining my battery. My dealer replaced it at no cost and everything has been fine. My truck has over 76k on it already and runs like a champ. I love my truck!
