Rear middle seat belt top plastic bracket is made very unreliable and unsafe, fixed it three time at dealership. The plastic bracket breaks all the time with just a slight pull on the seat belt. Once broken the seat belt gets stuck or twist around bracket and no longer works.

During a minor incident with low impact and at a low speed, both front seat seatbelt pretnesioners fired off, locking both belts completely and filling the truck with smoke. No one was in the passenger seat when that one engaged. I was backing up in a shopping center parking lot slowly and did not see a concrete slab behind me due to the angle.

The rear seat belts do not retract once extended. The emergency locking mechanism locks the belt, but the belt does not retract. Installation of car seats that require seat belts to be locked and retracted until tight is not possible.

The middle rear seatbelt in the 2018 silverado crew cab has a plastic strap retainer that comes apart easily, causing the seatbelt to get stuck on one side or the other of the metal positioning bar. This has happened while driving and the rear center passenger's seatbelt was left slacked. It will only return once the seatbelt strap is manually centered on the metal positioning bar.
