The sensing diagnostic module (SDM) was left in manufacturing mode and not activated at the assembly plant prior to shipment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

An SDM in manufacturing mode will not deploy the vehicle's air bags in a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

22V463000 2022-06-30
Exterior lighting:brake lights

General Motors (GM) has decided that certain 2022 model year Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra vehicles equipped with an accessory sport bar.

An inoperative high-mounted brake light can reduce visibility to other drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

In owners’ own words

Power train mileage not reported 5 mo in service
On the first drive everyday, the transmission keeps slipping between 1st and 2nd gear and you have no power trying to accelerate until you find a gear. Took it to dealership and they couldn’t find anything wrong. They said Chevrolet has a bulletin on this issue already. Not okay
Power train mileage not reported 7 mo in service
Since new delivery, transmission appears to slip into neutral when vehicle is first started and accelerated forward. Was advised by Chevrolet service that this is a known issue, and that GM is aware of the issue, but nothing can be done about it. Other than annoying, if a quicker move forward is required, the vehicle accelerates in neutral then grabs, causing the vehicle to slip on wet pavement, which could lead to a loss of control.
Power train 16,000 mi 7 mo in service
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that whenever the vehicle was turned off using the Push START feature, the vehicle would start rolling away. The vehicle failed to shift to park(P) once the vehicle was turned off. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.
Engine mileage not reported 5 mo in service
I have two GM vehicles. 1) 2022 GMC Sierra Denali 4x4; 6.2 V8 and 2) 2022 Chevy Silverado High Country; 6.2 V8 as well. My Chevy is producing a mysterious black substance, whereas the Sierra does not. I am being told that this behavior is normal. I would expect the same behavior from both vehicles, but that is not the case.
