General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The battery positive (B+) cable rings may have been manufactured with excessive glue, potentially causing an intermittent electrical connection between the B+ cable and alternator.
An intermittent electrical connection between the B+ battery cable and the alternator could cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Started truck up after parking for 20 minutes and the Brake ESC service light on dash came on and stated that there was a problem and I would not be able to drive over 43 mph, the ABS, Traction control were also shut down. I drove this to the local GM dealer who is now working on this for the third day and can't figure out what is wrong. The programing for the brakes was gone, they reprogrammed and it cleared out immediately. They are working with GM to attempt to fix the issue once they figure it out.

P25A2 U0146 U0101 U0100 MIL Status- off Freeze frame DTC- u0146 I had an oil change done by Hare Chevy in Noblesville 2 weeks ago, never an issue with my truck until after I left the dealership. Stanley Chevy in Mccordsville looked at it this morning and said they have to order a bunch of parts for it, including new leaf springs for a truck that is less than 2 years old…never have heard of such a thing.

I was given a 2019 Chevy Silverado and when I turned the truck off the shift to park light would stay on and in February the brakes froze with the bad freeze when it thawed the brakes just started locking up by them selves I could not get over 5-6 mph so I made an app with dealership took it in told them what it was doing they had it a week they replaced shifter handle and bolt and reset codes I get the truck back did not have it 24 hrs I was leaving where I was fishing that morning I was going maybe 40 mph when the abs and other lights came on on dash and the brakes locked up again sending me sliding about 60 yards when I ended up in a ditch I tried to get out and the truck would not move so I get out and look to see my front passenger tire completely broke off folding up under truck. No one else was involved I automatically called dealership told them what happen filed a crash report and tow truck took truck back to dealership I contacted GM snd they sent an investigator to look at it but denied my claim said it was not a Manufactur defect.. so no one is wanting to fix my truck now it’s still under warranty with less than 19000 miles on it... and if I was to pay out my pocket to fix it I feel that it will happen again cause the freeze did something to the electrical brake system.. the truck is a year and 4 mts old. Paid cash for it and not I can’t even drive it..

WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL WHICH IS APPROX 70 MILES FROM MY HOUSE, I WAS APPROX 10 MILES FROM MY END LOCATION AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES WITHOUT ISSUES. I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 AT 75 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, BRAKES WENT OUT, STEERING LOCKED, ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT OFF. THE TRUCK WAS DEAD FOR APPROX 4 SECONDS WHEN IT KICKED BACK ON ON ITS OWN. THE TRUCK CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING ABOUT 3 MILES AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE TRUCK DIED. THERE WERE NO MORE INCIDENTS DURING THAT TRIP. LATER THAT SAME DAY I WAS PULLING INTO KROGER PARKING LOT TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THE TRUCK WAS DEAD FOR APPROX 3-5 SECONDS EACH TIME WITH COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN BEFORE COMPLETELY RESTARTING ON ITS OWN AND CONTINUING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.

THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND THREE ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS OCCURRED AS I WAS PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE STILL IN MOTION. THESE ERRORS HAVE ALSO HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, IN DECEMBER 2019 AND JUNE 2020. BOTH PREVIOUS TIMES THE MALFUNCTIONS WERE FIXED BY THE DEALER. THIS ISSUE CAUSES THE POWER BRAKE SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE TRUCK.

VEHICLE IS PRODUCING A HARD SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR PRIMARILY ON COLD STARTS. MORE RECENTLY IS HAS BEEN DOING MORE THROUGH OUT THE DAY BUT NOT AS SERVE. THIS STARTED AROUND 7500 MILES, CURRENTLY AT 23,000+. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TO THREE DEALERS (6+ ATTEMPTS) WITH NO RESOLUTION. ONE DEALER TOOK THE VALVE BODY OFF FOR INSPECTION AND CLEANING. OTHER DEALERS HAVE TRIED REPROGRAMMING. LAST ATTEMPT AT REPAIR WAS THE WEEK 8/25/2020 WITH NO RESOLUTION AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE (HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK). THE NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE HARSH SHIFT TWICE IN ONE DAY. I ALSO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AT CONSTANT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45 & 60MPH. A BULLETIN CAME OUT FROM GM THE WEEK OF 8/25/2020 INDICATING NOTE TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AS THIS IS NORMAL. HOW IS THIS NORMAL WHEN IT SHIFT SO HARD IT THROUGH THE OCCUPANTS FORWARD AND REARWARD IN THE SEAT. HOW IS THIS SAFE FOR A YOUNG CHILD/TODDLER? THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE WHIPLASH IN YOUNGER CHILDREN. I HAVE IN FIRM BELIEVE THIS IS A CAUSE FOR MY NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. AS AN ADDED NOTE: I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GM EXECUTIVE RESOLUTION TEAM ON THIS ISSUE AND AGAIN NO RESOLUTION. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE COMING ON BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AGAIN DEALERS CANNOT DUPLICATE EVEN THOUGH ONE SERVICE REP WITNESSED IT WHILE DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE PERFORMING BRAKE SERVICE AS THE BRAKE COULD ACTIVATE AND CAUSE A PINCH POINT. OVERALL I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES REGARDING RADIO, DIC DISPLAY & CRUISE CONTROL. ONLY THE DIC DISPLAY HAS BEEN CORRECTED. I ALSO HAVE HAD LEAKING REAR SLIDER AND SQUEAKS IN THE FRONT LEFT DASH, RIGHT FRONT FLOORBOARD AND UPPER LH B-PILLAR. I ALSO HAD THE LEFT DASH PANEL REPLACED DUE TO A BROKEN TAB. VIDEO UPON REQUEST

PULLED OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION SITE AFTER A WORK DAY AND THE WHEELS ON MY TRUCK LOCKED UP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF I WAS PULLING INTO A HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW. THE TRUCK WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE WAY THE WHEELS STOPPED, IT FELT LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGING WHEN I DRIVE. MAYBE THIS IS SOME KIND OF LIMP MODE TO PREVENT DAMAGE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAIL-SAFE TO IMPLEMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT PEOPLE DEPEND ON FOR WORK. I DO NOT THINK IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST SILVERADO MODEL WITH AN ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE. OH YAH, AND THIS JUST COINCIDENTALLY HAPPENED 1000 MILES AFTER MY BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED. ALSO, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS JUST A CALL CENTER IN INDIA. DON'T BOTHER CALLING THEM.
