Your truck is losing oil faster than normal, a problem that started in September 2023 and continues today even after the engine was replaced in 2025. The transmission failed about 3-4 months after the engine replacement and was also replaced. You're only alerted when the oil level gets critically low, and the leaking oil is mixing with gasoline, suggesting a fuel pump issue that now needs replacement. Fixing this will likely require diagnosing and replacing the fuel pump, and possibly addressing the underlying cause of the excessive oil consumption.

The sway bar detached from the frame running down the road due to a faulty installation completed by the production line. My wife heard a clunking sound and recognized instability in the vehicle during turns she immediately stopped driving it until it could be evaluated. Apparently during manufacture the mounting holes for the sway bar were threaded too big for the bolts used so they installed helicoil repairs into the frame which failed allowing the sway bar to detach. I have pictures from the dealership showing the failure and chevy is trying to weld a nut into the frame to be able to reattach the assembly at my expense.

While driving within the neighborhood, the upper control arm ball joint failed and the wheel folded under. After some research, it appears that this truck purchased new from the dealership where it was upfitted with a suspension leveling accessory as shown in the photo. It should have been included in NHTSA Recall 21V-718 as it clearly is premature failure of the OEM upper control arm ball joint due to the dealer installed Suspension Level Kit. Vehicle was purchased new at Vaden Chevrolet in Pooler GA.

My truck has a vibration when going down the highway at speeds of 70 MPH. The dealer has done a transmission flush but still have the same issue. I am afraid that the driveshaft or the transmission may lock up while we are on the highway with the family.

I originally bought a new 2019 chevrolet silverado 1500 ld on 06/08/2019, I really liked the truck and its many features. After several weeks I noticed the whole underside frame and driveline components were rusted and corroded. I brought it back to my dealer and they immediately located a replacement vehicle for me.

I was backing into a parking space at a very low speed, when the right side lower balljoint separated and dropped the truck on the ground. The vehicle was rented from enterprise and had only 9000 miles. I had just finished a 10 hour interstate drive and was lucky it didn't separate at 70 miles per hour.
