NHTSA owner complaint records remain part of Official Vehicle Data. Subjective review contributions remain in Owner Experience. One does not validate or prove the other. Read the methodology.

EVIDENCE, NOT A SCORE

WHAT THIS DATA CAN TELL YOU ABOUT RELIABILITY

Official records can provide useful research context, but each source has a different meaning. Complaint counts are not failure rates; recalls are formal safety campaigns; manufacturer communications are technical or service documentation; and investigations reflect formal NHTSA activity. Data Confidence measures evidence availability, not vehicle quality. CarIQ does not publish a composite Reliability Score.

Available evidence summary: 663 NHTSA owner complaint records; 6 safety recall campaigns; 0 manufacturer communications; 0 applicable NHTSA defect investigations.

PRODUCTION-ADJUSTED DESCRIPTIVE METRIC

NORMALIZED COMPLAINT CONTEXT

Production-normalized complaint data is not currently available for this vehicle.

This metric compares the number of NHTSA owner complaint records retrieved by CarIQ with NHTSA-reported production volume for the corresponding vehicle population.

It is not a vehicle failure rate. Complaint reporting behavior, vehicle age, time on the road, production definitions, and other factors can affect the result.

On October 27, 2026, my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ with the 6.2L engine suddenly lost propulsion on Interstate 80 near Atlantic, Iowa. The mileage was approximately 62,000, although I am uncertain of the exact mileage. I had driven approximately three hours after leaving my hotel that morning before stopping at a gas station. When I restarted the truck, the engine barely turned over before starting. No engine warning lights came on at that time. I continued onto I-80. Approximately five minutes later, the truck began losing speed with cruise control engaged. I disengaged cruise control and pressed the accelerator. The engine revved, but the truck did not accelerate. The check engine light came on just before the truck shifted itself into neutral. I coasted to an off-ramp, and the truck would not restart. It required towing. The sudden loss of propulsion at interstate speed put me and surrounding traffic at risk because I could no longer accelerate or maintain speed. The dealership inspected the truck and told me it failed what they described as a “propulsion test” and was included in a recall. The specific internal component that failed is unknown to me. Whether the failed components have been retained and are available for inspection is also unknown to me.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle shuddered and vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a transmission fluid flush was performed on two separate occasions; however, the failures persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched the failure and associated the shudder with a transmission torque converter malfunction. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH with his family inside the vehicle, the wheels locked up and the vehicle jerked three times within 20 seconds, causing the tires to screech. The check engine warning light was illuminated after the failure. The contact activated the hazard lights and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was restarted but was undrivable. The vehicle was pushed onto the street of the residence and parked. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; a diagnostic test was performed and DTC: P0747 was retrieved; indicating transmission failure. The dealer determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the TCM was updated previously due to transmission shifting failures; however, the failure worsened. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

Electrical System

I am filing this complaint regarding a battery-drain problem with my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The original battery failed and was replaced. I am concerned that the battery is not the underlying problem and that an intermittent electrical drain may be discharging the battery while the truck is parked. GM has issued technical information concerning battery-drain problems on 2022 Silverado 1500 trucks, including bulletin PIT5750B, which addresses intermittent parasitic battery draw, dead batteries and slow cranking. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether there is a recurring electrical or software-related defect affecting 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles that can cause the battery to discharge while parked. Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 VIN: [XXX] Mileage: 31000 Battery replaced:11/17/23] Number of battery failures: 3 Time vehicle was parked before battery discharged: 5 DAYS, 3 DAYS Dealer/service department: [XXX] Automall, Modern Chevrolet I believe this issue should be investigated to determine whether there is a broader defect rather than simply treating the battery as the cause of the problem.

2022 Chevy Silverado Rear Brake Wear Sensor & Rotor Damage — Causes & Fixes My issue is a known problem on 2020–2025 Silverados: corrosion or sticking in the electronic parking brake (EPB) wear sensor assembly can cause the sensor to drag, scoring the rotor and triggering a brake pad monitor warning On 2022 Silverados, the rear brakes use an EPB actuator with an integrated wear sensor. The sensor monitors pad thickness and sends data to the truck’s brake system. In some cases, the sensor’s mounting area corrodes (especially in Michigan’s salt-belt climate) or the caliper slide pins stick, allowing the sensor to move into the rotor gap This caused us to repair the rear brakes due to GM sensor issue and not because of normal usage. I reached out to GM and asked for this to be reviewed. We feel this is an GM recall issue, and they should pay for this as this was not due to normal usage.

My vehicle has had numerous issues with electronics and cameras which have affected the ABS system. In addition to that there is a service bulletin for known issues of of the Rocker Arms failing which causes damage to the engine. While driving the vehicle no warning lights come on and the vehicle chugs and stops during driving which could cause a serious accident and injury. The rocker arms in this truck failed and cause further damage which has now caused the engine needing to be replaced at just 75,000 miles. GM service bulletins: PIP5847 & 25-NA-037

NHTSA complaints are reports submitted by vehicle owners and other consumers. Complaint counts do not represent the percentage of vehicles affected and do not by themselves establish that a safety defect exists.

A higher complaint count can partly reflect how many vehicles were sold, vehicle age, and other factors. CarIQ does not yet normalize complaint counts by vehicles sold.

Manufacturer communications include service bulletins and other technical information submitted by manufacturers to NHTSA. The existence or number of communications does not establish how often a condition occurs or whether an individual vehicle will experience it.

Some manufacturers may issue more detailed service documentation than others, so communication counts should not be used alone to compare vehicle reliability.
