I’ve Owned Toyotas For 30 Years With No Issues, I Took A Chance On a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado, and 5K Miles In, the Problems Begin

When I hear stories like this about the newer trucks, there is no way I'm trading mine in. I have a 2016. I use a key (old school) pre-fob. Because of fear for lifter problems we hear about, I change the oil frequently. And, I have an undercoating that is inspected and renewed annually. Shame that mine has fewer issues than newer models with tech "improvements."

You made a mistake, you should have stuck to Toyota.

I would question the " no issues with Toyota" for thirty years.
We owned a Toyota Prius for twelve years. Had the same maintenance as any other car. Replaced water pump and timing belt, hybrid battery, and front bearing huds. The head lights HDI were replaced three to four times. The gas engine failed at 292K.
I have purchased five new Chevy trucks over the years and currently driving a 2018. Have not had significant problems with any of them.
I do agree having issues at 5k would not make me happy but it is not the norm I'm my experience with Chevy.

I have the 2019 version of that truck and I have had NOTHING, but problems with the truck. Replaced the wiring harness, went through 3 starters so far, multiple engine lights that come and go. I've owned nothing but chevys, but as soon as this truck dies or costs me much more money, I'll be joint the Toyota club as well. It's sad how the Chevy / GM quality has gone down.

Just wait, lifter arm failure will be next! I had to replace entire engine in 2018 Colorado at 63,000 miles due to that. Chevy would not stand by it, offered me 300.00 towards repair or 2500. Towards trade in! Mechanics at my dealer were awful, had the truck repaired by personal mechanic and leaving Chevy in the dust .. so disappointed.

You should never buy American made or branded vehicle, they don't know how to make vehicles

also had a toyota. I also went with a chevy hd, Transmission went to hell with only 11k on it,took gm over 130 days to fix. I now own a new f350, couldn't depend on the truck or gm, hope if I have problems ford treats me a little better.

I've owned GM trucks since 2003 and never had any issues including a truck I gave my granddaughter after putting 272,000 miles on it that still runs like a top.Ironically the supposedly fantastic Toyotas are currently recalling trucks to have the ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED !! Get so sick of the foreign hype machine trying to denigrate American made vehicles and blowing out of proportion any problems they can find in American made products.

Not a Silverado… but a Colorado Z71 ( 2019) bought new with a couple thousand miles on it, always serviced at the dealer, all maintenance including oil changes. done ahead of recommendations, changed transmission fluid at about 49,000, then at 55,422 miles ( transmission control mod code) 75 days outa warranty by time, not miles, ( dealer replaced valve body in transmission) supposed to be one day job, took nearly 3 weeks, ( $2500 +) on the way home from picking it up, gets check engine lite ( code for coolant temperature sensor) dealer wants another $1300 to replace it. Long story short, traded that thing in for different vehicle , & just took the loss. No more chevys for me

Similar issues. 2023 Silverado Duramax. TCM went bad somehow after OTA update that bricked the truck in my driveway with less than 8K miles on it. Wouldn’t shift out of 4WD or even into reverse. Limped to dealer where they had to fully overwrite updates and replace TCM. Then three tries back to fix rear cam. Chevy uses garbage parts from lowest bidder vendors. Zero quality control. I love how the truck looks but I’ll be lucky to get over 100K miles before serious issues start mounting. Then back to Toyota or Honda.

I dealt with near identical issues a number of years ago with a 2012 Chevy Impala. I lost count of how many times I was at the dealer with that car. At the time, it was a brand new car. I got rid of it in late 2016 but reading this brought back many horrific memories. Like you I was always told that it was a first they had ever seen that kind of a problem which is a load of poppycock. Utilize the lemon law, and take the money and go buy a Toyota Tundra. Not sure why the Big 3 are so much less reliable than foreign vehicles, clearly there are both quality control deficits and quite possibly inferior parts being used.

Bought a 2024 gmc 2500 hd Denali. The problems began at 75 miles. The truck has been in the shop for over 45 days and is currently at the dealer being worked on. So far this is what been replaced. Oil pan gasket, upper oil pan gasket, turbo, galley plug, transmission has been removed, tailgate switch replaced twice, the truck is leaking oil and leaves little puddles everywhere Its parked. I have had 2 new Chevy expresses and 2 new GMC 2500 Denali since 2018, 3 of the 4 have gone to be buy backs. I am finished with GM products. Unfortunately I’m thinking I have to go foreign because I hear ford and dodge are having major problems also.

I have about 76,000 miles on my 5.3l Silverado and my check engine light came on. I had two codes, P0700 and P0711. The P0700 showed a possible cause as a shortened or open circuit within the TCM or a faulty TCM. I drove the truck around town as the dealership couldn’t give me an appointment for a number of days and the check engine light went out. I monitored the transmission temperature as I drove it as the P0711 code said a possible cause was an issue with the transmission fluid temperature sensor. My transmission temperature never went above 165 and I haven’t had any further issues.

That's the problem with America vehicles, they're built for short term. Since the late 80's our manufacturers followed the consumer trend of upgrading. While we used to be proud to own certain brands as they were built to last things began to switch to what was the latest and greatest. Leasing became more and more common, consumers began wanting to upgrade to the next model every year or so. Companies like Ford, GM and whoever owns Chrysler makes most of their money off of parts from second hand+ ownership. You can sell a cheap US car for $18,000 but over the course of 10-20 years it can turn into a $30,000 car after all the repairs and replacement parts. Japanese and Korean companies still take pride in their vehicles, that's why they can still goo 100-200k miles without malfunction.

I purchased a used 2017 silverado 1500 from a Bentonville, MN dealership. After 6 months the truck failed to start. As a result of this reoccurring issue I have replaced the battery, ac sensor, and starter. I am still experiencing intermittent crank no start issues, messages on the information center to lower the drivers window and raise it up, drivers door won't open even though it is unlocked. Check engine light. The check engine light was resolved, but the other issues remain.

This is what happens when you cave to the demands of the UAW (unorganized asswhipes of America) employing a bunch of overpriced underworked crybabies who think they’re worth more than they are

My family is pretty well convinced, if you want a reliable long mileage vehicle, stick with Toyota or Honda.

I had a new 1980 c10 straight six 3 on the tree and only power steering. I sold it 12 years later for what I paid for it. Chevy and Ford street cred was well earned, back then. I bought a new 1985 Silverado, the right front fender hung down lower than the hood, dealer said “you REALLY don’t want me to fix it, do you?” Implied threat understood. The overdrive tranny give out, my repair bill, I asked how to keep it from happening again. Dealer said “keep it in 3rd gear, no 4th overdrive”. Then the nightmare V8-6-4 was invented. Dumbed down to V8-4, I said no thanks in the Silverado; but I really wanted the z06 with same stupid valve train AND a shuddering tranny. And RANGE fixed all that. For my truck I swapped s for t, Silverado for Tundra. Happily ever after I hope, as I got the last V8 Tundra and b’lieve it will go a million trouble-free miles, fingers crossed. If not forever, I still won’t buy a new mouse-sized motor-in-a-gigantor truck; no matter how many light-bulb-lifespan turbos and everready batteries they stuff into it, be it Toyota, Chevy or Ford.

We own a 2024 chevy silverado 1500, with 10,000 miles on it. It was in the dealership for a month for a valve box controller in another word the transmission, we where told these trucks parts where built during covid, and all parts are on back order for up to 1 yr, with all the fighting I did we received the part in a month, chevy knew about this but still put them out to be sold, we are not sure if we are keeping the truck we just don't trust it.

So, if a serpentine belt is not covered by warranty and you had to pay for that... Then later it turns out that the belt failed due to a COVERED part was the cause, will they refund you the money you paid them for the serpentine belt replacement? It seems fair that they should considering a false diagnosis caused you to have to pay for something that did not resolve your issue.

This is why you don't buy a full size pick up with a 4 cylinder under the hood. One from GM on top of that who has never made a reliable 4 cylinder since there inception.

Check your alternator, I had a dodge with alternator going bad. Bearing sticking. It caused voltage spikes and computer was throwing random codes all over. Replaced the alternator and all the problems disappeared. Having your serpentine belt jerking would give the same behavior, if one of your idlers was sticking.

The voltage spikes also kill your battery.

I stopped buying GM products they are such junk. I bought a Ram 3500 and although its not a Toyota I enjoy that 6.4 hemi its features. My last chevy the speedometer and other parts just were junk light bulbs were always burning out as well. Our Toyota and Nissan were and are trouble free

Wait till your driving and the spark plug just falls out of the engine
