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.

I was given a 2019 Chevy Silverado and when I turned the truck off the shift to park light would stay on and in February the brakes froze with the bad freeze when it thawed the brakes just started locking up by them selves I could not get over 5-6 mph so I made an app with dealership took it in told them what it was doing they had it a week they replaced shifter handle and bolt and reset codes I get the truck back did not have it 24 hrs I was leaving where I was fishing that morning I was going maybe 40 mph when the abs and other lights came on on dash and the brakes locked up again sending me sliding about 60 yards when I ended up in a ditch I tried to get out and the truck would not move so I get out and look to see my front passenger tire completely broke off folding up under truck. No one else was involved I automatically called dealership told them what happen filed a crash report and tow truck took truck back to dealership I contacted GM snd they sent an investigator to look at it but denied my claim said it was not a Manufactur defect.. so no one is wanting to fix my truck now it’s still under warranty with less than 19000 miles on it... and if I was to pay out my pocket to fix it I feel that it will happen again cause the freeze did something to the electrical brake system.. the truck is a year and 4 mts old. Paid cash for it and not I can’t even drive it..

THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY MONDAY AFTERNOON. IT WAS LOCKED. ON WEDNESDAY 2/24/21 OUR NEIGHBOR ALERTED MY WIFE THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE TRUCK. WE RAN OUT THERE, BUT IT WAS ALREADY HEAVILY SMOKING AND WE COULD HEAR CRACKLING AND POPPING NOISES. SHORTLY AFTER THE TRUCK WAS IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, PUT OUT THE FLAMES. THE FIRE MARSHAL DID AN INSPECTION AND INDICATED IT WAS LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL FIRE NEAR THE TAILGATE/HITCH/LICENSE PLATE.
