Rear defrost is causing a loud hissing/arcing sound. After leaving the defrost on for a short period of time, I could see smoke forming near the bottom left corner of the window. This is concerning because defrost is turned on automatically when the truck is started and it is cold outside. I see that many other people have reported the same issue on their 2019 Silverado 1500 when reading in the GM forum. In many reported cases, it will either catch on fire or completely shatter the window. I was told by my dealer that since my truck is outside of warranty, they would not cover the repair. This should be a safety recall covered outside of warranty period. GM has yet to announce a safety recall on this issue.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while in park(P), he observed a gasoline odor. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, he observed a gasoline odor entering the cabin of the vehicle through the vents. The contact exited the highway and pulled over, examined, and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000.
While traveling on the [XXX] at 70mph the truck started making a loud noise and started feeling like all tires were flat. Getting off the road the routors were very hot. Getting back on the interstate to get to an exit, a message appeared that said brake failure. There were no brakes when pedal was applied. It was towed to the Integrity Chevrolet in Chattanooga, Tn. A case was opened with General Motors #[XXX]. GMC reported to us that the truck which we bought with 5900 miles (driven by a salesman), had had the brakes reprogrammed 4 times which we were unaware of. They reprogrammed the brakes, put on new brake pads, milled the router and replaced the brake fluid, informing us this was needed, charging us $1210. GMC refused to pay because the dealership said it was normal wear and tear. Truck has 38,000 miles. Brake pads showed 62% front and 78% back life. We have emails as documentation. I was unable to upload but can forward if email address is provided. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) . The contact stated this is the 5th time the brake system has been reprogrammed, (4xs before we purchased it unaware of this and on March 11th).
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while reversing, the rearview camera failed to display an image. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that a software update was required. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
THE BEARINGS ON THE CRANK SHAFT WITCH CAUSED A LIFTER TO FAIL AND BENT A ROD WITCH CAUSED IT TO BECOME JAMED IN CRANK SHAFT. ENGINE FAILD AT SPEED OF 55-65 INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM NO OTHER WARRING LIGHTS CAME ON UNTILL ENGINE FAILED
The rear electric sliding window sealant fails in the there trucks allowing for water to get into the cab at times soaking the headliner. When this happens it can cause possible mold in the headliner leading to possible harm to any child seated in a car seat in the back seat. This should be a recall and fix by GM on these vehicles but they currently do not cover the fix.
This 2019 Silverado pickup truck lurched forward on 2 different occasions. The first time it lurched forward, it was in a parking lot and no damage was done to the truck or any other vehicle. The second time our 2019 Silverado pickup truck lurched forward I was turning around at a farm. The truck hit a wooden building on the farm and did damage to it and our truck did damage the front end of the truck to the tune of $3,474.00. If someone was in front of the truck, they would have been killed or seriously injured. We have been very careful with the truck ever since. We could pull it into our garage and it could lurch forward and go through the garage wall.
Lost ALL oil pressure while casually driving 35mph. Safety issue, had to stop on side of busy highway. Truck warned me to turn off engine.
While operating vehicle in stop and go traffic the transmission downshifts so hard that the rear end locks up. This abruptly stops the vehicle. This happens quite frequently. The vehicle has had multiple warranty "corrections" made to include a new torque converter and flywheel. The issue was not resolved. Appears to be no correction or applicable TSBS that fix the problem more of a bandaid. This is a wide known issue at this point.
It shakes violently and shifts violently
I have several issues going on with my vehicle. The transmission keeps shuddering and the dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. I've documented over a dozen instances. It feels like you are going over rumble strips. Also the screen flickers bad making it difficult to see the backup camera. I have a dozen or more videos on this and the dealer says they can't reproduce the issue.
Truck stay without breaks in the freeway randomly and bunch of lights came on
While merging onto another highway at normal traffic speed, I pressed the accelerator to safely increase speed and merge with traffic. At that moment, I heard a loud bang coming from the front engine bay. Immediately afterward, the vehicle began making loud rattling noises, multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, and the vehicle rapidly lost power. The car began decelerating while still on the highway, creating a dangerous situation. I was unable to maintain speed with surrounding traffic. Had another vehicle been approaching at a higher speed, this sudden loss of power could have resulted in a serious accident. The vehicle was later inspected by a Chevrolet dealership, which confirmed that the engine failed at approximately 77,000 miles. The dealer stated that the engine lifters failed and caused damage to the camshaft, resulting in complete engine failure. This failure occurred without warning and while the vehicle was in motion, presenting a serious safety risk. A sudden engine power loss at highway speeds significantly increases the risk of a collision. I am concerned this may be a defect affecting other vehicles as well.
I was t-boned by a f-150, airbags didn’t deploy and my seat belt didn’t lock. With no safety features deploying, I sustained injuries. No one wants to inspect it, due to there being no fatalities or permanent dismemberment. There were no warnings or lights on prior to the accident, the seatbelts still latch and are able to be buckled which they shouldn’t be.
Driving at normal speed, normal weather, and normal highway conditions my 2019 Chevy silverado 1500 suddenly, without any prior warning, became undrivable due to "No Oil Pressure". I had to pull over on the side of the highway where it stayed until the vehicle could be towed to a local auto mechanic. The mechanic informed me that the issue was due to an Engine Oil Cooler Line rupture; the same issue that's plaguing many other vehicles of my age and make. There is a recall: N212326940-01 as evidence. I don't understand why this recall hasn't been issued to others outside of Canada and Alaska, especially when this problem is happening at frequencies to cause a shortage of replacement parts in other parts of the U.S..
Truck developed leak in rear window area, which will create mold in the vehicle, making it unsafe to be in. Took it into Chevrolet dealer and told it was third brake light leak a known issue with a TSB. First told will need window replaced also, but then they changed to the reseal window (see quote attached). They "repaired" the leak, then same day it was still leaking. I returned to dealer (same day); now told I need to replace window as per a TSB! Another $1K cost to me. GM knows about this problem but is placing the cost on the customer. These trucks are not safe to be in, if mold develops.
Engine cooler line is leaky. if I continue to operate the vehicle with low oil pressure, there may be a loss of propulsion. An engine operating with low oil pressure may also be prone to failure. In 2021, a TSB was issued to repair this problem, but it no longer is active.
Valve lifter broke cause misfire and engine slowdown. Truck towed back home, no longer useable, dealer stated vehicle off warranty GM has no recall. This is a known issue, with many incidents which has led to a class action lawsuit, that I am planning to join.
The rear sliding window structure is faulty and this is well documented through complaints. The structure surrounding the rear sliding window is not strong enough to stand normal wear and tear. This is documented in [XXX] . The supplier produced poor quality material. Was it the suppliers fault or GM's specifications? The water leakage can cause damage to the rear seat and floor board which can cause mold and mildew to form, causing a health issue. This happened to this vehicle. Because of this known problem which GM gets away with the consumer has to foot the bill. The dealership has to send this truck out to get fixed and the cost is around $900. Though the mold and mildew is not enough for a recall since it is not a safety issue. It does become a safety issue when the water interacts with the electrical system and causes it to short out and cause smoke. This happened to my son's 2019 Silverado Z71. The safety issue is when a child is strapped in their car seat in the back seat and this happens. Which happened in this instance.

My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST was purchased brand new in 2019 and has less than 50k miles on it. The rear, passenger seat belt fails to retract which is a safety issue and where my child sits. Chevrolet stated that it was not covered under any manufacturer warranty or the purchased extended warranty from the dealership. This is a huge safety concern as the seat belt will not function without being able to retract. For it to fail with less than 50k miles and being less than 5 years old is unacceptable and so concerning. The estimated cost of repair is $806.51 which is crazy that they will not fix this issue as there is a new warranty for trucks built in 2021 and newer for safety belts specifically. Chevrolet should stand by their safety equipment, especially on their newer vehicles. I have uploaded a copy of the dealership information and recommended repair as well as cost of repair that they stated would not be covered.
The contact owns a 2019 Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 25 MPH, he observed a burning oil odor coming from the front of the vehicle. An unknown warning light illuminated with a message to turn off the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off and was towed to the residence. On another occasion, while driving approximately 55 MPH, the oil pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was turned off and towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the oil pressure lines had ruptured, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 74,350.
I am unsure why this organization has not made GM fix their lifter issues for their v8 engines. it is very common and has been around since the early 2000's especially with the 5.3-liter engine. my engine just had lifter failure at a little over 80,000 miles. this repair can cost up to 4000 to 12000 to fix depending on how bad the failure is. There are class action lawsuits on this issue. It's time to make GM pay up for customer losses. I am 5000 over my extended warranty, can't get a loaner from the dealership, haven't had my truck for almost over a month, spent 900 in car rentals so far. Again, this is a known problem, it needs to be addressed and fixed once for all. * Summary* Lifter failure Happened on the highway, lost almost complete power to my drive train abruptly. putting my safety and others safety at risk This is a very known and common problem with the dealerships, even the tow truck driver said must be your lifters before it was even at the deal, said he picks up 2-3 of these trucks a week with the issue. The component is at the dealership. diagnosed as failed lifters, still waiting for them to inspect the internal parts of the engine to see if it destroyed the internals with the failure. Warning lights came on at failure, and no symptoms beforehand.
The truck has lifter failure leaving the Engine in Operatable at best you and you kids are stranded in 0% wether or broken down in the road. The other outcome is the Engine Explodes like a bomb when the internals let go from the failure. Lucky I was just left in the cold where I could have frozen to death. This happened at 70k miles but is happening to all the 19+ trucks with 5.3-6.2 the other problem is a transmission shudder making you barely able to keep control of the vehicle. You have had so many complaints here there have been several class action lawsuits yet nothing has been done why is Gm not held accountable?
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH in extremely cold temperatures, the engine seized and the wheels locked up inadvertently, causing the vehicle to skid to a stop. The contact was unable to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated had to walk back to the residence in the extremely cold weather. The vehicle was towed to a friend’s garage. The vehicle was then towed to an unknown dealer, where it was diagnosed that the lifters had failed. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH, a warning chime sounded as the "Low Oil Pressure, Turn Vehicle Off Immediately" message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact pulled off to the shoulder of the highway and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The dealer discovered a leak in the oil cooler line that needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 66,248.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle lost motive power with the message "Unable to accelerate above 25 MPH" displayed. The vehicle then indicated that the transmission was overheating. The check engine and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the battery, requiring that the battery be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 20-NA-149. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 170,000.
On Monday, [XXX] my husband was driving his 2019 Chevy Trail Boss (VIN [XXX] ) home from work and a warning light came on the dash indicating “low oil pressure, turn engine off.” He pulled off the road immediately to turn the truck off and then realized that there was oil pouring out from the truck and which had covered the entire underside and sides of the vehicle. After having the truck towed to the local dealership we were notified that the issue was related to the oil cooler lines detaching causing the oil leak. The recommended fix was replacement of the lines and fresh oil. We proceeded with the service and thankfully there was no apparent damage to the engine at this time. The dealership acknowledged that this was a common problem with this truck. We paid $1,307.13 for the completion of this work, completed by Urka Auto Center in Ludington, MI. Unfortunately, after doing some research it has come to our attention that the detachment of the oil cooler lines is a very common problem amongst 2019 Chevy and GMC trucks and have located service bulletin (GMC TSB [XXX]) that identifies this as an issue for a select group of vehicles. It is very concerning that this has never been identified as a recall and it’s obvious that this issue affects many more trucks than those identified in the service bulletin. Similar issues also noted in Customer Satisfaction Program documents ([XXX] and [XXX]). We live in Michigan and, as happens in Michigan during winter, we’ve been experiencing snow and cold temps. It seems that in our research the colder temps put these oil cooler lines at an even greater risk of failure. The detachment of the oil coolant lines seems to be much more wide-spread than what has been acknowledged in the referenced documents. This parts failure has potential to severely damage the vehicle's engine. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the temperature was below zero, the oil cooler lines cracked and began to leak oil. The contact noticed oil spots on the driveway. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to the Customer Satisfaction Program: N192220080 (Engine Oil Cooler Lines Detaching from Crimp). The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.
Brakes locked up and rear end slide out when just feathering the brakes into a turn in the cold
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 3 MPH up the driveway, he heard an abnormal sound as if the vehicle was being struck in the rear. The contact stated that the vehicle stopped abruptly, as if he had depressed the brake pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the engine was still running. The contact placed the vehicle in park(P), turned the vehicle off, and then restarted the vehicle, and shifted into drive(D) and was able to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent at first but had since become a recurring failure while driving at various speeds. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) software needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V889000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Service Brakes, Electronic Stability Control) however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 154,000.
I was driving my 2019 Chevy Silverado and the low oil pressure light came on. I pulled over to find that my truck was leaking oil. I called a tow truck and had the tow truck take me to location that I bought the truck (25 miles away). While waiting for the tow truck I did research about what could be happening. While doing my research I found this recall by Chevy: [XXX] My truck was looked at and I was called the next day and informed that the issue was "oil cooler line crimps coming apart and leaking". To my dismay I was informed that my VIN was not part of this recall. I find this to be either very ironic or the recall needs to be expanded to include additional 2019 Chevy Silverado's. I have an email from the service manager; Dereck West, at Victory Chevy Milan Michigan, stating that the diagnosis was as follows: "inspected to find oil cooler line crimps coming apart and leaking. replaced oil cooler line assembly". Again, this seems to match the recall perfectly. I was advised by Chevy to file a complaint and retain all records related to this incident. I have tried contacting GM for additional support. I have been unsuccessful with getting any responses from GM customer support. Upon additional research I found many forums that describe the exact same issue that I have described above. Customers having to pay for an issue that matches identically to a recall because their VIN is not part of the recall. It is my opinion that this recall should be expanded to include additional VIN's for 2019 Chevy Silverado's. I am more than willing to provide any additional information that might be needed. I appreciate your time in advance and look forward to hearing from you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My truck recently started to leak oil onto my driveway so I took it to a local dealership to get it looked at. The service engineers diagnosed the problem as the Engine Oil Cooler line is detaching from the crimp causing oil to leak out. They also told me that there was a recall, see PDF attached, (#N212329640-01) that is associated with this problem. However, it only applies to my vehicle if it was manufactured in Canada and Alaska. My vehicle, I was told, was manufactured in Mexico. I brought it to the dealership and they told me this doesn't apply to my vehicles simply because of where my vehicle was manufactured. This is troubling information as the SAME issue that was part of a national recall is the SAME problem that is happening with my truck and could cause a major safety risk while driving, yet it is not part of the recall based off where it was manufactured. Specifically, the vehicle could be involved with "loss of propulsion" as stated in the original recall. This is too coincidental of an occurrence to simply ignore it which is why I wanted to file a complaint.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the vehicle stalled. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle however, the check engine warning illuminated. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine lifters had failed and caused the camshaft to fracture. The contact was advised that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
Rear sliding glass on 19’ + model silverados. Water has entered into the cabin specifically to the left back passenger side. My vehicle to include multiple other people across the nation have been effected by this also. Specifically to mine, water has entered and stained the interior cabin panel. This is a safety/health concern to people experiencing this as it can cause asthmatic individuals and immuno compromised personnel to get deathly ill. I have my babies ride back there and it concerns me that they will get sick due to the negligence of GM not wanting to correct the issue to standard. The answer to the problem is a reseal, however, when that seal does not hold due to faulty back panel glass it is now your obligation to pay for a whole new back panel. Chevrolet has resealed the issue but I have also reached back out to them with no response due to the window not being aligned and portions of the seal being exposed to the weather.
Service park brake and service ESC lights are on, check engine on and motor making a knocking noise
I was driving for an hour when the truck was dinging and it told me to turn off engine no pressure with oil coolant I pulled into a customer’s driveway and all the oil in the truck was all over the customer’s blacktop called Chevy they knew nothing about problem and said no recall and was not covered with 42000 miles on truck had it towed and repaired by my local mechanic who also questioned Chevy and got the same response

The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
One of the oil cooler lines on this truck is leaking oil from the crimped area where the rubber hose connects to the metal part. The GM Authority website says the dealer should fix this at no cost to the vehicle owner be because it is a GM issue on 2019 Chevrolet Silverados and 2019 GN Sierras. I called them and the lady looked up my VIN and said my truck isn’t included in this issue, but clearly, it is. The description of the issue on their website is the exact description of my truck and the issue of the leaking oil cooler line in the crimped area.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 15 MPH and accelerating, the vehicle independently came to a stop. The vehicle was still running however, the vehicle failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal.

I started vehicle. Everything seemed fine. Drove 2 blocks and all eletricals started acting up. Lights flashing all warning lights went off. Service brakes, Service parking brake, service ECM, etc. Motor started to bog down and major knocking from engine. Took to GMC dealership. They found issues with lifters and had to replace all lifters and camshaft. Also replaced faulty brake sensor. Get truck back and oil cooler hose or line came off and was leaking oil. 1 week after repairs. Take back to dealership for repairs. 2 weeks later went to start truck all electronics went haywire, lights flashing, all warning lights start going off again. Truck will not start. Let sit for 15 mins. Try starting and no electrical power at all. Truck will not shift out of park. Major issue. Sounds to be a common issue with 2019 Trail Boss. Only has 40,000 miles.
Vehicle steering became intermittently jerky while turning in reverse out of driveway and back up camera guide disappeared. This happenend suddenly every time backing out of driveway for about 4 days. The second episode was while attempting to do a K turn. Steering was lost, could not complete the turn almost putting the vehicle into a large ditch. I was able to complete the turn and vehicle opperated seemingly "normal". Concerned, I drove dorectly home, the same happened while turning another corner almost into a ditch.....had to stop short of the turn and muscle the steering wheel to safely get through the corner. The dash communication system showed "service power steering no assist soon" while the incidents happened. After parking vehicle at home the alert would not go away and unable to turn steering wheel. This steering issue seemed to happen at a reduced speed while turning. Very dangerous situation !! I will need to have the truck towed to shop for review and contact dealer for any currnt recalls. I know GM trucks have been recaled for this issue on past models. I have read a bad ground on the passenger side chassis behind front tire may be the culprit as well.
In August 2023 I was hearing a popping noise coming from my truck. Took it to Hare dealership for diagnosis and repair. They had my truck until September 8, 2023. I was told Hare service couldn't reproduce the noise, ran multi-point inspection and was informed that everything was fine. Few days later, I returned to dealership and reported still hearing the popping noise. But service Mgr. said they found nothing wrong that wasn't repaired. Approximately 10 weeks later, while my wife was driving to pick up dinner, after stopping at a stop sign, she started moving and all the sudden steering the vehicle was impossible, and the truck collapsed in the middle of the dark road! See photos. I believe the safety risks to my family and other travelers on the roads speaks for themselves in this situation. I went to the scene with my father-in-law, where I saw my wife visibly terrified and shaking! As for the condition of the truck at the scene, see photos. I had the truck towed to my home, then called Hare Chevrolet the next morning and my truck was then towed to them. Hare reported that, Upper ball joint failed. Multiple damaged components. Recommend replacement of Upper Control Arm, Lower Control Arm, Axle Shaft, Steering Gear, RF Outer Tie Rod End, RF Brake Line, & Wire Repair for Speed Sensor. 4 Wheel Alignment: Required with ball joint replacement. [Primary]: D11 : Multi-Point Inspection (I), Wheels/Rims: Wheel repair. After waiting 6 weeks for Hare to provide a required written estimate detailing the costs of parts, labor, fees and taxes, I finally had my truck towed to another shop a few days ago. Excluding Sep. 8 to Nov 26, 2023, I have not had use of my family vehicle since August 15, 2023!
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that oil had been leaking from the oil cooler lines. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer confirmed the failure and provided the contact with an estimate for repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the VIN. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
At a major intersection of several lanes north/south & east/west silverado stalled while waiting for the red light to change. Engine cutoff, would not restart, and situation was high traffic time at a high traffic intersection. Car was towed, problem diagnosed as the electronic sensor would not allow electricty to the starter motor. required part is not available, it turns out that this is reportedly a common problem. The truck is a Silverado 2019 with 36,811 miles. Reportedly out of warranty but this appears to be a common problem and certainly is the kind of problem that would be many years down the road
Power steering failure while the vehicle is in motion. Power assist goes off and on intermittently, without warning. This causes a very unsafe condition, particularly if you are in a curve or turn. There have been other reported failures on this model truck. I have taken the vehicle to an authorized Chevrolet dealer who stated there is no recall on the vehicle for this problem, but also stated Chevrolet is aware of the problem and has had a recall in the past for the electronic steering doing the same thing. The dealer stated they could not replicate the problem and charged me 147.00 for diagnostic, which showed nothing. This was done, although the truck was sold as a certified pre owned vehicle with warranty.
My rear window was leaking and repaired by the dealer in 2020 . Then in November of 2023 I noticed the water again in the cab I noticed stains and mold in the cab the vehicle now had 42,000 miles the dealer said the truck was out of warranty so I would have to pay out of pocket or make an insurance claim . This is a health and safety concern if the window sealant can crack it can potentially pop out if the windows are open at higher speeds due to the pressure in the cab. Also General Motors does not want to acknowledge or accept full responsibility for the window or the mold and water damage!

No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed; however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Vehicle DIC displays a low oil pressure warning and zero oil pressure repeatedly. Oil pressure returns to normal shortly thereafter. Vehicle also displays many other warnings and cautions intermittently.
