2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Too new to assess

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is too new for this measure. Almost every complaint about a vehicle this recent is a first-year complaint, because that is all the service life there has been, so the figure cannot separate a genuine early defect from simple youth. The complaint counts, systems and recalls below still stand on their own. The most-reported system is engine (51 complaints), typically at 1.3 yr or about 7,000 miles.

Complaints: 151
Median age at failure: 1.3 yr
Median mileage: 6,000 n=16
Crash / fire / tow: 8.6% of reports
Safety recalls: 0

In owners’ own words

Engine mileage not reported 10 mo in service

when coming to a stop, the truck idols high before slowly going down. Seems unsafe as if is not wanting to stop. I am also hearing a chirping coming from under the hood.

Engine mileage not reported 11 mo in service

On the evening of August 27, 25, when exiting the highway ramp, the vehicle's engine suddenly stopped and stalled, the gear automatically shifted to neutral, and the hazard lights could not be turned on. After about 2 minutes, it restarted normally and turned on the hazard lights.

Engine mileage not reported 1.1 yr in service

6 weeks since purchase and only 2000 miles-engine suddenly made a horrible rattling noise and stalled. Towed to dealership and was told engine was dead and needed replacement.

Electrical system mileage not reported 6 mo in service

Driving on road at approximately 30 mph. All lights on dash came on and car braked suddenly immediately stopping the vehicle in the middle of traffic. Could not release the brake. Car was idling very rough during this time. Turned car off and back on. Brake released but still running very rough. Made it the short trip home. Truck to dealership via wrecker. Brake was again a problem getting on and off the wrecker

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
