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.

Power train, Service brakes, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 23, 2020
I WAS STOPPED N THE DRIVE THRU AT IN-N-OUT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE ECO SYSTEM HAD TURNED OFF THE MOTOR. IT SPONTANEOUSLY TURNED BACK ON WITHOUT ME LIFTING MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND THE TRUCK LAUNCHED FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 12-18 INCHES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. IT ALSO HAPPENED ONE NIGHT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS, I COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE OR THEIR CAR OR I COULD HAVE EVEN RECEIVED WHIPLASH MYSELF. *TR

Equipment, Jun 8, 2020
INFOTAINMENT SCREEN IS TOO BRIGHT FOR NIGHT DRIVING. NO DIMMER CONTROL. THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SO BRIGHT YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE CAB. I ALMOST RAN INTO A TREE TYING TO BACK THIS THING UP AT NIGHT. DRIVING AT NIGHT, I WAS CONSTANTLY DISTRACTED BY THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAY. YOU CAN TURN OFF THE DISPLAY, BUT IF YOU NEED NAVIGATION THAT DOESN'T WORK. YOU CAN DIM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, BUT BY THEE TIME THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN IS DIM ENOUGH YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE THE GAUGES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS: ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF APPROX 50-70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FEEDBACK WHILE MOVING THROUGH A LEFT CURVE FAILED. THE WHEEL DID NOT REACT BACK TO THE CENTER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS "LET GO". THE STEERING WHEEL FELT "DEAD" AND STAYED IN THE LEFT TURN POSITION. WHEN COMING OUT OF THE LEFT TURN/CURVE, THE WHEEL HAD TO BE FORCED BACK TO CENTER. PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN ON, SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TR

2020 SILVERADO LT WITH ONLY 4660 MILES WAS PARKED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVE WAY WHERE OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON HAD SPENT THE NIGHT WITH A FRIEND. HE STARTED THE TRUCK TO LEAVE AND IMMEDIATELY HAD SEVERAL ALARMS; BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 62 MPH, SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE, SERVICE ESC. HE TRIED TO EASE OUT OF THE DRIVE TO TEST BRAKES, ABOUT 5-10 MPH; HE HAD NO BRAKES, ZERO BRAKES! HE ROLLED TO THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS HE STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AND ALARMS WERE CLEARED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE LED TO MUCH WORSE ENDING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, WE FOUND THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND GM HAS DONE 2 RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM YET IF YOU AREN'T AWARE OF IT, YOU, YOUR FAMILY OR OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS COULD BE KILLED BECAUSE GM AND THE NHTSA HAVE NOT MOVED STRONGLY ENOUGH TO WARN OWNERS, THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE 'DO NOT DRIVE' ALERT ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY TO SEE HOW TO PROCEED AND OUR SON WILL NOT RISK HIS LIFE IN THIS TRUCK AGAIN. NO BRAKES AND NO EMERGENCY BRAKE!! WOULD GM'S CEO LET THEIR 17 YEAR OLD DRIVE THESE DANGEROUS TRUCKS? THE NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE DIRE ACTION ON THIS, LOOK AT YOUR OWN WEBSITE AT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM! MY ATTORNEY READ YOUR SITE AND HE SAYS YOU ALL CAN'T DENY KNOWING THE PROBLEM EXIST, TAKE ACTION BEFORE DRIVERS DIE. GM AND NHTSA ARE BEING NEGLIGENT ON THIS AND I WILL GLADLY TESTIFY IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WILL BE SOME. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND IMMEDIATELY ADVISE ALL DRIVERS OF 2019-2020 CHEVY SILVERADOS TO STOP DRIVING THEIR NEW $40,000 TRUCKS AND CALL A LOCAL DEALER TO COME GET IT. DRIVERS WHO READ THIS PLEASE BE ADVISED, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOME GM DRIVER WILL DIE BECAUSE OF THIS BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE (OURS DOES NOT HAVE THE STOP START TECHNOLOGY); HOWEVER WHEN IDLING LOW OR COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL JERK THEN DIE. THE MOTOR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF; STALLING, THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND TURN IGNITION AGAIN. THE MOTOR SHUTS OFF ENTIRELY USER IS UNABLE TO DRIVE; PRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. PUSHING GAS PETAL DOES NOT WORK EVEN IF IT DID HAVE THE STOP START TECHNOLOGY.
