What 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV owners say
Electrical system
The rear passenger door sensors are not working on my vehicle as delivered from the factory/dealer. Upon opening the rear doors, there is no indication on the instrument panel/dome illumination as is present for the front passenger doors. With 4 independent doors it would appear to be a possible safety concern as the rear doors could unknowingly be open while driving. This issue has been discussed by several Silverado EV WT owners at the forum (linked below) and at least one dealer has diagnosed the issue as a missing ground wire on the door latch/sensor as documented in the service write up attached that was shared via the forum. However, other dealers are refusing to correct the issue as has been the case with my dealer thus far. [redacted]
While in traffic over 45 miles per hour, the vehicle placed itself into a hazard mode due to the electric vehicle propulsion system. This happened so fast and the deceleration rate was so quick that it risked a rear end collision. This is the second time this has happened and both were following a heavy rain storm. I drove through a modest puddle that did not even submerge half of the tire wall making contact with the road and did so slowly. Less than five miles later, the vehicle goes into what my service advisor calls "limp mode." I have asked General Motors to give me an even exchange or, in lieu of the fear this vehicle gave me, an upgrade to a Cadillac Escalade IQ.

On [redacted], at midday, in the Haggen parking lot in [redacted], I unlocked the passenger door with the silver exterior door button. At that moment the side-view camera display glitched, and afterwards the exterior door buttons stopped working. The key fob and the interior door buttons still worked. Restarting the infotainment system did not fix it, and the passive-unlock setting was not the cause. After I left the truck locked and asleep for about 20 minutes, the buttons and cameras both worked again. I use the side cameras for lane centering while driving.
Windows, wipers & sunroof
The Passenger Side door mirror is manufactured with flat glass and Not Convex glass. The flat glass field of view is not nearly wide enough for this large truck. This flat glass combined with the width of the truck (distance from the driver's head/eyes to the passenger door mirror), height and length of the truck creates a substantial risk for an accident while traveling on the roadway, highway or even maneuvering while parking. It is impossible to adjust the flat glass mirror to indicate a smaller car to the right side of this truck, and at the same time, approaching traffic from the right rear. This is particularly dangerous when needing to make a quick "glance and maneuver". The GM Parts department advised there is no convex replacement option or even a convex towing mirror option for this truck. …
