2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s Most Serious Safety Recalls Concern Malfunctioning Seat Belts and Potential Engine Fires

The Chevy Silverado is an American institution, despite its wildly inconsistent track record. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado is powerful and roomy, with acceptable gas mileage for its size.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rated its front crash avoidance as “Superior”. J.D. Power gave the 2019 Silverado 1500 a reliability rating of 81 out of 100. However, Chevy’s light-duty 1500 pickup truck was the subject of 10 major recalls.

One of the more serious recalls is over malfunctioning electronic braking equipment. Reportedly, the 2019 Silverado 1500’s anti-lock braking and electronic stability control systems might switch off without warning. If this happened, the warning light may not activate either.

Another recall warned that the electronic brake assist might stop working. This affected roughly a quarter (148,055) of Silverados and GMC Sierra 1500s from 2019.

The NHTSA also recalled some 2019-2020 Silverados over another seat belt issue due to malfunctioning seat belt pretensioners that may cause hot gas to vent through an opening in the pretensioner bracket, possibly igniting the carpet.

Also, some 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks may have an alternator issue, with a recall going out over wiring that may lose contact and cause the engine to stall and possibly create a fire.

2019 Silverado’s Structure, Safety Cage, and Headlights Rate Poorly in Crash Safety

The International Institute for Highway Safety gave an overall crash safety rating of “Marginal” for the Silverado 1500, rating the structure and safety cage poorly. Both low and high-beams reportedly produced excessive glare on all 2019 Silverado 1500 trims.

Overall, they rated the headlights on the Silverado 1500 as “Poor.”

2019 Silverado owners also note that the dashboard, including the speedometer, often displays incorrect information. The 1500 also saw many complaints about a jerky transmission and delayed gear shifts. The truck may also shudder at highway speed.

A Mixed Bag, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado has a Few Serious Problems but is Overall a Quality Pickup Truck

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado racked up 10 recalls, without about half of them of serious concern. Among recalls for glitchy software are recalls for problems including a poor alternator connection that may cause a crash or fire. Plus, the pickup’s reported rough-shifting transmission is a drawback.

Along with its 10 recalls and over 300 registered complaints, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 also comes with decades of Chevy’s proven reliability and high-quality vehicles. So, although its problems and recalls should be considered, the 2019 Silverado is nevertheless a quality vehicle with a solid longtime reputation as a dependable brand.

Worst Chevrolet I ever purchased
I brought this thing August 2019 . I had it a few days keep hearing a popping sound from rear end. I couldn't take it anymore took it to local dealer because I purchased it out state. They said the did hear anything. Picked up two weeks I couldn't take anymore took it back after 5 days they call said the leaf springs need to be replaced had to order them. Take this truck only had 23000 miles on it. It did cross my mind why this truck is back on the lot for sale. But I fall in love with it when I passed it on the highway turn around to get. Mean while all this hard shifting I was told that was normal so didn't let it bother me to much but I didn't like. Now 2022 some where around June my low oil light came on luck I was pulling in my yard .shut it off let the oil settle down take a reading no oil on the dip-stick. Took it straight to dealer about three miles from me. The man didn't believe me so he took me around to show me how to check the oil now I'm really pissed because you trying to make me look like a fool. So he checked oh man you right. He then asked when was the last time the oil changed about a month and a half ago. Well maybe they didn't put enough oil in it. REALLY.I get home call GM told me to take it to a dealership have them to run a oilconsumption test. I took it to another dealership here it is September 2023 still dealing with the same thing call a said it passed the test. I'm like what the hell are you'll talking about just a month ago I bought it inhave oil check and you tells me it 3 quarts low .we need to change oil and bring it back in two weeks to recheck oh its okay don't need no oil so it passed the consumption test REALLY. It's now not just about the oil put the big knock I get when I stop as like someone has ran into to the back of me. Ok that's just some of the problems I have had with this truck. I retired 2019 decided to invest in a new truck well two years old truck take a lot GM. Used some of my retirement funds. I hope you all can get my point because I sure I messed up this somewhere.

Chevy has recalls for exact issue
Chevy doesn’t back up it’s products simple as that. My oil cooler lines are leaking and have been leaking for quite some time. Never knew about it because the skid plate was catching it all. I checked online and noticed there was a recall for the crimps loosening and causing this exact problem. Several forums with people having the same exact issue and all told the exact same thing. “It isn’t in the vin# range” so they won’t do anything about it. Clearly they knew of a manufacture issue, then claim they are only going to honor trucks that were sold in Alaska with the 2.7 liter motor. So basically they looked at the cheapest way possible to get out of having to replace ALL of the lines on their lineup because I’m sure SOOO many 2.7 liter trucks were sold in Alaska. What a freaking joke. My transmission bangs into gear if I back up and put it into drive. I can give it 5 seconds to switch and doesn’t matter the firstbit of gas makes it bang it’s done that ever since I bought the truck. The brakes have been changed out twice and it’s only at 60k miles and I drive like a grandpa coasting as much as I can do I get better gas mileage. The company refuses to stand behind their products. Its been in the shop more than my 97 I had before my 2019 model. Guess I will be switching to Toyota since they have about 1/5th of the total recalls. Absolutely disgusted that a company that makes BILLIONS a year in profits can’t take care of their loyal customers. No more I’m done with them. Both my truck and my wife’s GM Acadia are going to be gone here VERY soon. New 4 runner and tundra coming out way. Don’t buy American made trash they only care about profits not their customers or their safety. I’m out over 2k when I took it in jsut to have it checked out and make sureit was good for the summer.

Worst purchase I have ever made
I bought this truck with hopes that new truck no worries lol. That's a joke. I've had more issues with this truck than my 25year old trucks! I've had it less than 6 months. Front brakes went out including rotors at 1100 $ toreplace. Then misfire on cylinder 1 . I changed the spark plug no help then wire and coil pack no fix. Read into it it's a faulty lifter issue very common. Which tells me they need to recall all of them! At 42k $ and payments at 700 a month I'm miserable. Chevy.has let me all the way down! I want to sue chevrolet rightnow! I have a lifetime power train but what's the good in that bc it will never be fixed!!!!! It burns oil 8 quarts of oil burns thru less than 3k miles every oil change! Exc light and traction is lost bc of cylinder misfire issue that doesn't have anything to do with the spark plug or the coil pack or the injector. All about the bs valve lifter issue!!!! Transmission 10 speed a pos I hate this truck and want to blow it up. I'm gonna talk to a lawyer I hope we can do a class action lawsuit against chevy for selling over priced pos trucks to america!!!!!! Thanks chevy for ruining my savings and my day to day life and adding constant stress over this pos 6.2 l truck u sold me!!!!

Another Herky Jerky Silverado
We had a 2016 Z71 that began jerking majorly out of nowhere around 60k miles. First visit to dealership some parts were replaced, transmission fluid was drained for the second time within 60k miles. A few weeks later the same herky jerking began again. We took it to a different dealership this time. After speaking with the service manager, explaining previous issue, within 24 hours we received a call stating they would be replacing the complete transmission. Well, a short time later we traded for a new 2019 Z71. Here we are; just over 60k miles and same the same jerking problem occurring. Did not purchase the 100k warranty bc we planned to trade before 60k. Pandemic hit and now stuck paying for this major repair out of pocket. My husband has driven a Chevy since he was 17! Needless to say, this will be the last. Unsolicited advice: When you can, purchase the 100k additional coverage for drivetrain. Even though you may have to fight to have repairs completed correctly, in the end, it’s well worth it. Especially if you drive quite a bit.

My first New truck
I bought my 1st new chevy Silverado z71, in 2020, it had 13,000 miles on it ,To me it was new, At 16000 miles the high pressure oil line came apart, they tried to change the oil and give it back, but luckily the mechanic had told me he would wait for me before starting the truck, good thing 2pistons came apart, they then wanted to rebuild the engine and I refused to I paid 2400, for the best warranty they offered, so 4 months later I got my truck back with a new engine. Now at 53000 miles the transmission started kicking up and down I took it in and was told it was the fluid that needed to be changed to a newer brand fluid, in the meantime I was driving down the road at 10mph when it felt like I was getting a flat I applied the brakes and my frount left tire fell off, it is now at the dealership for the past couple of days until they get an estimate on the damage and to see if the warranty will cover it. I am at the end of my rope with the problems with this truck.

4 Years of New Problems
I was the first in the neighborhood to get this beautiful new Silverado body style. First red flag was the jarring shift from R to D. I honestly thought someone hit me from behind. After about 3 of these, I took it in, and was told; "Yeah, thats normal, they shift hard sometimes" Second; during driving on the freeway, everything electrical went haywire and truck went into limp mode, Itook it in after for a warranty repair. Third: Total engine failure at 55k miles, oil cooler line broke and had to replace the motor (Chevy warrantied this one) Fourth:Electrical display occasionaly blacks out Fifth: Rear hub is making an unusual noise after about 60k miles (dealer said thats normal too) Sixth and Final Issue: Tranny is studdering at low speeds. Really too bad. Ive had multiple GM products, but this might be my last. Not happy with the way the dealer keeps dismissing everything.

Worst vehicle purchase I’ve ever made
My Trailboss is a great looking PU Truck on the outside but internally it’s the worst vehicle I’ve ever purchased. I bought this truck in August 2019 and it’s been in and out of my local Chevy dealer more than I’d like to say. Here’s my list of issues: 2019 LT Trail boss 33k miles I’m on my third transmission hard shift hard braking it’s just terrible. The radio display stops working when it wants to. My tires are getting worn ( alignment is fine I’ve had it checked three times) on the inside of the every other notch GM refuses to cover it even though the vehicle is under warranty. Remote start the vehicle I won’t go into gear and when it does it’s a hard bang from the transmission. Beware of this truck it’s not worth the hassle to have a pretty lawn ornament that cost $40k+

Stay away
The truck drove well for almost 2 years. After that the oil cooler line blew twice, the second time the engine needed to be replaced. 6 months later, with a new engine, all the lifters needed to be replaced. After the lifters were replaced the “service parking brake“ and “ECS” lights came on and the truck wouldn’t engage into drive. A year later when it happened again I said I was done. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life with a new vehicle. Even when the truck was healthy you could feel the transmission issues it was having. It felt like the only time it drove well was in temperatures above 40 degrees. I told the better business bureau that the truck was dangerous for me and my family.

Not happy with 2019 Chevy 1500
So, we bought this vehicle with only 15,000 miles on it a couple years ago and right now it's only 4 years old with 37,000 miles on it. This afternoon it wouldn't start, just clicked. Tried jumping it but of course that wasn't the issue. Had to have it towed to a shop and it sounds like it's the starter, ALREADY? I bought a newer vehicle to AVOID things like this happening. And of course now the basic warranty is just over and we will find out if this is covered under the GM Powertrain Warranty!! This ought to go well! So disappointed. I didn't want my husband to buy this Chevy because my last Chevy Malibu was a joke from the beginning. We won't buy another one now, I can tell you that much!

Bought new, big mistake
The transmission has never shifted right, either late shifting or hard shifting and at times late shifting while coming to a stop! Techs have the same BS every time I bring it in….nothing wrong, it’s just the way the transmission shifts. In the shop right now for what I complained about as a loud chirping noise and clicking noise when first started in the am of if vehicle is cold or when I accelerate in a left turn. Tech advised some of the exhaust manifold bolts have broken and the only way to access them is to remove the cylinder heads. Estimate is $3100.00, insane!!!! And the truck only has 71,000 miles. I’ll never buy another Silverado

Transmission
Currently, my 19 silverado is in the dealership for trans for over 2 weeks, this I believe to be a complaint every time it was in for service. I was pretty much deemed to be an idiot as it was always written up as customer states ( transmission not shifting correctly) tech states ( nothing found) I traded in my problematic ram because i thought i would be in better hands with general motors. I couldnt be more mistaken. Although the Gm reps seemed to be concerned with issues, Not a thing has been corrected. Easier to take the bus

Chevrolet trucks.
It is eroding the back bed and it really should have a custom bed liner. It is brakes go easy and the tires are expensive. The electrical system is going and shuts down. The windows and door locks act up and do not work sometimes. The undercarriage should have been painted and sealed to prevent the rust and salt from the roads to eat away the paint and cab. The undercarriage is rusted and has some smaller holes were the same thing happened. The window wipers do not work well on the timer for the lower setting.

Unimpressed with the quality of my truck.
There are issues with the vehicles transmission. The pulling capabilities leave much to be desired in comparison to my old ford f150. I have noticed that the windshield wiper fluid goes very quickly due to the amount that is used from the sprayers. The power to start from a stopped position is not there due to the v4 switch that happens when vehicle is in a lower gear. The truck also is not great in the snow and ice compared to other 4x4 vehicles I have owned.
