2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Electrical Problems

Your truck's emergency braking system (automatic emergency braking) isn't working as intended — it alerts you with lights and sounds but doesn't actually apply the brakes on its own. You've nearly hit other vehicles because of this, and a dealership told you this is normal behavior. Additionally, your truck has been misfiring, which triggered multiple service warning lights on your dashboard.

Your infotainment system is becoming unresponsive and freezing, forcing you to take your eyes off the road for extended periods to operate basic functions — a serious safety distraction. The digital rearview mirror and backup cameras are also lagging or freezing, reducing your visibility while driving. Additionally, the system is interfering with your power door locks, creating a potential entrapment risk. The manufacturer has acknowledged the issue and offers a software update to fix it, but is requesting payment for the installation.

While driving my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST, the vehicle has lost power on two to three separate occasions. During these incidents, the truck experienced a sudden loss of engine power and electrical functionality while in motion. The vehicle either significantly reduced power or shut down unexpectedly, creating an immediate safety hazard.

I was driving on the highway and there was a sudden drop in power and hesitation in the engine. I slowed down too quickly on a busy highway and almost got rear ended. I took it to the shop and found out I had to replace the engine due to the cam and lifters were bad.

Megafuse on starter solenoid terminal of the buss bar has blown twice in a month, leaving a serious burn mark on buss bar where contact is made with fuse. Possible fire hazard inside engine bay on top of battery. This also keeps the vehicle from starting.

My tailgate started opening randomly for 2 consecutive days now. This happens while the vehicle is in park with the keys out of the ignition and also while driving down the road exposing items in the bed to possibly fall out and cause potential injury or death from accidents.

Tailgate got water in it. Continues to open repeatedly, user cannot stop it. Same part is recalled on 2500 HD and 3500 HD models.

I was driving down the highway at 60 MPH and a display warning came on the display monitor. It said shift into neutral and restart engine. Then the engine died and I had to try and get off the highway.

On more than one occasion, the vehicle jolted forward when going to accelerate from being stopped at a red light. It felt like the vehicle was rear ended by a vehicle behind (it was not) to give some perspective. The last time it happened, the engine shut down but the dash stayed on, and the dash would not turn off, nor would the engine restart.

I have a flex tail gate which is all electronic. The tailgate will not stay up , it keeps on falling and unlocking for no reason. Button the tailgate lever does not work.

While parked and not running, this truck started on fire and burned throughout, causing a fire to a truck parked near it and a home near it.

Truck wouldn't shut off. Diagnostics bcm have internal issues keeping ecm relay powered up. Tac# 9-9199141781.

Idling rough still. Even after bcm replacement a week ago. Messages for "key not found" only one more start allowed.

My 2022 Silverado is affected by a couple different electronic safety issues. The first one has to do with the trailering system. When I have trailer connected that has electronic brakes on it, the vehicle gives an error message and then shuts the break control off.

Truck was less than a month old and one day would not start due to a dead battery. After putting a battery charger on the truck, I got it started. Drove it for a bit and had warnings appear in the cluster saying functions are shutting down to conserve battery power.

Your OnStar telematics module has stopped working, which means you've lost the ability to make emergency calls through OnStar and track your vehicle if it's stolen. Additionally, your forward collision avoidance system isn't functioning, your high beams turn on and off by themselves, and you can't connect to OnStar's WiFi or services without the module working. Fixing this will likely require replacing the OnStar telematics module and having the forward collision and high beam systems diagnosed and repaired.

Your tailgate unexpectedly opened while driving at 45 MPH, causing items in the truck bed to be at risk. The tailgate continued to open even when the vehicle was parked and turned off, which could drain your battery. A dealer diagnosed the problem as a failed tailgate latch switch and replaced it.

Your tailgate opens unexpectedly when you open your doors or while driving, creating a safety hazard if cargo falls onto vehicles behind you. The problem is caused by a faulty tailgate switch and has also drained your battery repeatedly, requiring jumps and causing electrical system malfunctions. The repair will involve replacing the tailgate latch switch assembly.

Your tailgate is clicking continuously and dropping open randomly whether you're parked or driving. This is draining your battery and leaving you without power. The issue likely involves a faulty tailgate latch mechanism or electrical control module that needs diagnosis and repair.

Your tailgate opened unexpectedly while you were driving with a trailer and backing up, causing it to hit the trailer and get damaged. There's a known recall for a faulty switch that can cause the tailgate to open on its own. Your dealer said they can only replace the switch, not the damaged tailgate, but you believe both should be replaced since the switch failure caused the damage.

Your truck failed to start and required a jump to get running. After the battery was replaced, your instrument cluster (speedometer, fuel gauge, and warning lights) remained completely dark and unresponsive. The mechanic discovered that the battery drains immediately when the engine starts, suggesting an electrical system problem beyond just the battery itself. You'll likely need diagnostic testing to identify what's causing the rapid battery drain and instrument cluster failure.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to respond. The failure was intermittent but had become a recurring failure.

While towing a camping trailer, the brakes for the trailer kept issuing a warning saying "connected" then "not connected - check trailer brake wiring". Then "trailer brake not connected". After a while the brake system stopped working entirely.

I was driving down the road at speed when the gauge cluster lost power and reset, the truck jerked violently. A couple days before the truck lost all electrical power (lost gauges, door locks, interior lights, door locks and ignition) while idling.

We have had several issues with our vehicle from early ownership, such as, (1) signal light goes from very fast blinking to working. We have taken it to the dealership and are told they cannot duplicate the issue. It seems to correct itself when you turn off the truck and turn it back on.

we were informed by dealer that there is a recall reguarding some software that needs to be updated to reduce the chance of battery drainage. The catch is they are trying to sell us a part for $567.00 to be installed so they can update the software to fix the problem. (Terry Thompson Chevy)

My GM 6.2L L87 Engine failed at 65,000 miles. Left me stranded at an intersection blocking traffic. Traffic safety and state police had to come direct traffic while I was waiting for a tow.

Two separate but related incidents: 1. Sudden complete loss of power on a busy highway interchange. I had to pull over in an unsafe merge point.

My engine had to be fully replaced @ 28k miles due a crankshaft bearing failing and sending metal shards through my engine. Stranded me on the side of the highway for three hours. Was able to get to the shoulder before it seized up.Also my entire wiring harness and ECU had to be replaced shortly after the engine.

I have both key fobs with me in the vehicle and it will not start. I have a message on the dash stating” key fob not detected” I live in North Dakota and the winters here reach temperature to -40. I find this issues to be very dangerous, potentially being stranded in the middle of nowhere and not being able to start your vehicle manually.

I was driving on [XXX] where the speed limit varies from 65-75 MPH. I hit 70mph and randomly the truck jolted and dropped down to 40mph without warning. Cars swerved to avoid hitting me and I was shaken.

Vehicle engine blew up stopped running. I was driving up Highway 17 leaving Santa Cruz heading towards Sacramento when Engine failed was able to pull off the side of the freeway without being sideswiped had to have CHP come and shut down the number one lane in order to get vehicle towed. Was pulling a travel trailer.

After A Remote Start When The Start Button Is Pressed The Engine May Stall or Will Not Restart/ Ignition May Appear To Be Stuck On

One week prior to the incident my engine had a loud ticking/knocking noise when starting up especially on a cold start, one night before thanksgiving driving to California I had my truck on cruise control 80mph when suddenly without any warning the engine shut off!

Your key gets stuck in the ignition and is difficult to remove, even after turning the engine off and on multiple times and shifting in and out of park. The issue occurred at 100,400 miles. Getting the key out may require repeatedly cycling the ignition and transmission until the key releases.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado LTD 1500. The contact stated that the tailgate was opening unintendedly while driving and while the vehicle was parked. There was no warning light illuminated.

The truck is jumpy during stops. I get a low voltage code but the battery is fine I had it checked out. Reduced acceleration has been activated and after I turn the truck off it is fine.

The raido screen glitches randomly and wont let you use it. The engine has a bad shudder while driving. When the engine shudders the RPMs go down.

A recurring malfunction occurs with the infotainment/radio and rear backup camera display. The rear backup camera view remains stuck ON while driving forward in DRIVE at speeds over 20 MPH, including highway speeds. The system also cycles between screens (including switching to the camera view), and the infotainment freezes and becomes unresponsive (loss of screen/control).

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The stated that while the vehicle was parked, the tailgate opened independently, and the tailgate was manually closed. The contact stated that the next time after stepping out the vehicle, the tailgate opened independently.

Onstar telematic module. Paying monthly for a safety service that does not work. My truck has 20k miles on it and has been in the shop multiple times for issues that should not have been issues.

The problem that happened on my truck was the telecommunication module went out at 45k miles. That controls several features on my truck such as compass, navigation, remote start from cell phone, clock and several others. The biggest problem is that a check engine light pops up and you cant use your key fob to remote start your truck since the check engine light is on.

Was taking an exit car felt like lose control and got hit with the sign pole on the exit. I have been complaining for the safety reasons and the location and other issues in car to onstar and Chevy for months. Went to Freeport Chevy dealer and changed oil, when I bought the car pre-approved but the when I went for the service they said no oil was changed since the car was new.

I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado and my wifi, onstar, GPS mapping is not working. I got the run around from the dealership and they told me to call onstar because my onstar and wifi it's not working. Turns out the Telematic Control Module is defective and not working.

This truck is locking up momentarily, sometimes at high rates of speed on the interstate. It is very violent and jars the neck of my and my passengers. It leaves tire skid marks on the highway at high rates of speeds.

2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 multiflex tailgate main tailgate unlock/open button has stopped working. The dealership (Marine Chevy Jacksonville NC)stated that they have had to replace alot of them even on the 1500 series. They are now on back order with no expected availability date.

My backup camera has never worked properly since I purchased the vehicle. 7 out of 10 times when I put my truck in reverse, the camera does not work. I’ve had to at the dealership multiple times, the first time the vehicle was under warranty and the dealership “couldn’t replicate the issue” while the vehicle was with them for 2 days, which is impossible.

I was coming out of my workplace, made a right turn on to a Main Street, the lights were red so I was waiting to proceed and my truck engine just shut off. As the light turned green, I attempted to start the truck by turning the key off to restart the truck again, I tried twice to restart the truck, but it wouldn’t turn over, I couldn’t put my hazard lamps on because I lost all power.

When putting my vehicle in park and turning vehicle off keys won’t come out and stay stuck. Problem continues to only get worse and I have to wait to remove key. Battery sometimes dies as I am very busy and don’t have time to sit there and play or wait for key to come out 10+minutes.

Driving down the highway and Vehicle just shut off. Dealer says needs a new engine due to camshaft and lifters. Only 80,000 miles but out of warranty.

8 weeks ago, The OnStar Module stopped working. Took it in for repair, dealer tells me "No ETA on a replacement part, we will keep in touch" After further investigation, I went on the OnStar and Chevy message boards, and I've discovered that this issue has been going on for over 6 months in some cases and there are ALOT, I mean ALOT of people having the same problem.

The dashboard fails and stops working, the shift to park wont engage and the key is not working to start the car. I have reported it to the dealer and to GM and they refuse to acknowledge the issue. The Feldman service person says it will eventually be a recall and will not help until then.

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle has spontaneously locked up the front brakes/wheels three separate times. All three times have been at 55- 65mph and have completely locked up the front brakes leaving tire marks on the pavement. No Automated Braking System engaged, just full lock up.

The tailgate has become disengaged on 3 or 4 separate occurrences. I see there is a problem and a recall for 2020-24 vehicles although our vehicle is not in the recall. The problem I am having is the same as the recall.

Several times since I bought this truck new, the front turn signals fail. The blinker starts blinking very fast and if flashes a message to check the front turn signal. This has happened with both sides.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, and while the vehicle was parked, the tailgate opened unintendedly. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated.

The sound will increase to max volume and I am unable to lower the sound, this has happened numerous times while driving and has also happened while on major freeways. This is a very frightening event when I am driving by myself and even more when I am with my family. This has been reported to the dealer several times but it continues to happen.

The volume to the vehicles infotainment system was unexpectedly set by the system to the highest setting without my input while listening to XM radio. My attempts to lower the volume via the volume control knob and steering wheel volume adjustment would lower the volume slightly but the rate the system increased the volume was faster than I could lower it.

The General Motors subjected my family to an unsafe and possible deadly conditions by not repairing the known 2022 Chevy Silverado trailer brake issue described. Within the narrative SEE ATTACHMENTS - INCIDENT NARRATIVE - GLOBAL SAFETY FIELD INVESTIGATION - DCS6444

While driving the truck, something electrical seems to "reset" and upon that occurring, the brakes and other things quit working. This has happened in this truck twice within the last 10,000 miles. The dealership "resets the electrical system" and the truck runs fine for a period of time, but it has happened twice that the brakes have failed while going down the road.

The vehicle starter began malfunctioning, upon having that repaired by the dealership the brakes on the truck failed while underway. The dealership subsequently replaced the fuse panel and said it was resolved, that was in November 2022. The starter again began having problems engaging yesterday.

My vehicle has multiple issues that the dealer fails to appropriately investigate and try and resolve all I get is ntf rear camera blanks out and shows a warning symbol a triangle with exclamation and a camera symbol circled with a slash in the morning the trans slips until it up shifts through 1-2 then often 3-4 gears radio system can suddenly come on at full volume and vehicle has to be shut down and recyled to make it go away radi speakers come on all crackly with reduced volume capability occasionaly digital dash blanks out.

Back up camera cuts out at night in low light conditions, making it dangerous. Been to dealer twice, first they reflash BCM then second time, they state “we can’t find anything wrong”. I have seen people complaining online about this issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 58 MPH and attempting to depress the brake pedal, the contact saw that an unknown electrical component had detached from underneath the dashboard and was obstructing the brake pedal. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated.

When pulling a travel trailer with electric trailer brakes, the trucks trailer brake control switch disengages. While pulling our new travel trailer home from the dealership I tested the trailer brakes prior to leaving the camper dealers lot and the trailer brakes work with both the manual switch and the trucks brake pedal.

I am having an issue with radio not playing, it may at beginning of trip or not. It does not make a difference if you turn off and turn back on. It will only start audio when it wants to.

Rear camera view intermittently displays a blank or distorted image. This issue occurs almost every time when in reverse. In most occurrences, the screen will alternate between a blank screen with a warning indication and the video display several times within the same occurrence.

I own a 2022 Silverado 1500. I purchased this truck for the purpose of towing my 20ft.

When connected to a trailer with trailer brakes, the driver information center displays a message check trailer brakes when I apply the brakes. After usually the 3rd brake application the driver information center displays a message-Trailer Brake Disabled. Local certified chevy dealer tested the brake components on a computer and verified it is the truck that has issues.

When connected to a trailer with trailer brakes, the driver information center displays a message check trailer brakes when I apply the brakes. After usually the 3rd brake application the driver information center displays a message. Service trailer brakes.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle the rear trailer brake system was deactivated by the dealer and the contact was instructed not to tow a trailer with the vehicle. The contact was informed that the trailer brake system was faulty, and a fix was not yet available.

While towing a 7500lb trailer the trailer brakes quit working. The module says trailer brakes disconnected. Servive teailer brakes.

DEF system defect causes truck to reduce speed repeatedly until minimal 5mph. Message reads: “67 miles until 65 MPH max speed”. Will repeat with repeated reduction of maximum speed.

Instar and Telematics module faulty! Click is 30 min behind, auto me time set will not work, manual time looses 1min a day. No onstar button, no Google Maps or compass.

it stopped working and I turned it off and on it it worked next day stopped working and did the same thing its been doing it for about 5 months and it faild and dont work any more

The tailgate on the truck popped open without being triggered to. This continued to happen like every 5-10 seconds. It drained the battery and was a hazard as I drive down the road.

The Telematics module on my car stopped working. It caused all of my warning tones to go out and are not audible. Furthermore the OnStar system is not working.

While driving the tailgate released on its own. The warning lamp came on after the tailgate released, however if I had items in the back they could have been thrown out onto the highway. Other VIN numbers with this tailgate has a recall but for some reason my VIN was not included.

The trailer brake controller goes off and on. A message in the truck reads trailer brakes off, trailer brakes on, check wiring. Repeats every 45 seconds or so.

I was driving on the interstate at speed when the dash cluster stopped responding. All gauges went to zero including RPMs and speed. I was unable to determine if the engine was still running.

Electronic tailgate malfunction which drained the battery. Tailgate will open on its on with vehicle off but will not open with key fob or any buttons.

Key will no release from ignition after being placed in park.

Unknown The tailgate keeps opening on its own

Electrical Component failure in the tailgate handle causes the tailgate to come open at anytime during driving. Also the malfunction causes your battery to go dead

As I was exiting a highway offramp after about (4) hours of driving, the Infotainment radio went to full volume as I was listening to music either on Spotify (through Apple Car Play) or Sirius XM, I can't remember. It startled me to the point I almost rear-ended the car in front of me.

When my windshield wipers and headlights have been on for an extended period of time, they tend to cut out. My lights will flicker one time and my windshield wipers freeze for a brief second. Also my vehicle has around 36,000mi and recently a “monitor brake pads” has popped up.

Auto stop/start will shut the vehicle off when still in motion. If the vehicle is coming to a stop and is rolling the stop/start will activate and shut the truck off

The back up camera shuts off in low light conditions. Camera shuts off and a triangle with a ! Will appear.

While driving the vehicle it will slow automatically as if there is something in front of the vehicle when there is nothing there. It has happened twice on the highway at highway speeds causing driver to take action. While driving the vehicle, the emergency brake automatically set itself while in drive.

The audio in the truck increased to maximum volume on its own- without user/driver input. The only way to reset the radio is to pull over, shut off the truck, and open the door. This is extremely hazardous and distracting while operating the vehicle.

I had several issues prior to this incident where certain sensors and features were not operating. The incident occurred while I was driving on the highway, I randomly lost my braking ability and my dash lit of saying my brakes had failed. I then tried to push on the brakes and even push the e brake button and got no response.
