Common Defects Reported in the 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado
Drivers across the United States have reported various serious problems with the 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado models. These defects not only cause inconvenience but also pose risks to driver safety. Let’s explore these issues in detail:
1. Engine Defects
Many Silverado owners have reported significant engine issues, including engine failure. In some cases, these problems stem from a bearing failure that can result in engine seizure or a breach of the engine block by the connecting rod.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently investigated engine problems, specifically in models equipped with the L87 V8 engine.
2. Transmission Defects
Owners have frequently complained of jerking, shuddering, shaking, and vibration while driving over 40 mph. These issues are often related to defects in the transmission or driveline, causing a rough and unstable driving experience.
3. Suspension Defects
Reports of suspension issues have been widespread, affecting the truck’s ability to handle rough terrain or heavy loads. Symptoms include unusual noises, uneven tire wear, and reduced ride quality.
4. Oil Consumption Issues
Many drivers have noticed their Silverado consuming excessive amounts of oil between routine oil changes. This can lead to engine damage if left unchecked.
5. Brake System Problems
Brake defects are a critical safety issue, with some owners reporting reduced braking performance, spongy brake pedals, and even complete brake failure. Issues with seat belts have also been noted, such as incorrect bolts being used during installation.
6. Electrical System Issues
Electrical problems have plagued the 2019-2024 Silverado, including malfunctioning dashboards, radios that reset unexpectedly, and frequent illumination of the check engine light or 4-wheel drive light.
7. Headlight and Visibility Problems
Some drivers have reported poor visibility at night due to headlight malfunctions. This includes flickering lights or headlights that fail altogether.
NHTSA Investigation & How Defective Vehicles Qualify Under Lemon Law
The Growing Concern: NHTSA Investigation
The NHTSA investigation into the L87 V8 engine highlights the severity of the defects in the Chevrolet Silverado. Numerous reports of engine seizure and connecting rod failure have scrutinized the safety of drivers and passengers. This investigation may lead to recalls or further action against General Motors, the manufacturer of Chevrolet Silverado vehicles.
How Do Defects Affect You
Dealing with these problems can cause stress, inconvenience, and significant financial losses. From frequent visits to the dealership to the risk of accidents, these issues can disrupt your daily life and even jeopardize your safety.
To Qualify Under California Lemon Law
If you’ve repeatedly taken your Silverado to the dealership for repairs, but the problems persist, you may have a lemon on your hands. To qualify under California Lemon Law:
- Your Silverado must still be under the manufacturer’s warranty.
- You must have made multiple attempts to repair the same issue or experienced significant downtime due to repairs.
If your 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado has been experiencing ongoing issues, follow these steps:
- Document the Problems: Keep detailed records of every defect, repair, and interaction with the dealership or manufacturer.
- Check Your Warranty: Ensure your vehicle is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Contact an Experienced Lemon Law Attorney: Navigating lemon law claims can be complicated, but an experienced lemon law lawyer can make the process easier.
