Repeated shift to park message even when in park. Resulting in many hours of shutting off and on, shifting between gears to get it to recognize it is in park. Dealership where purchased is trying to convince me it's a $700 fix with no recall. It is a known GM problem. This blatant disregard for proper repairs is costing GM customers thousands in additional repair for their gross negligence as well as endangering the safety of its customers. It additionally results in draining the battery, starter and transmission problems. GM needs to be held accountable since they know it is an issue.
Key gets stuck in the ignition and won't come out. I see lots of people online with the same issue.
The vehicle spontaneously caught fire in the engine compartment. The vehicle was parked in a driveway and the fire caused by the vehicle spread to a building and it also caught fire.

The tailgate opens on it's own. This is unsafe because the tailgate can open without me knowing it and cause a safety hazard by hitting someone OR by items falling out of the bed of the truck while driving. That can cause injury or damage to people and/or property.
I have always received tailgate open messages, but after putting the vehicle in park to check, it has never come open. It finally did come open when I was towing a trailer which caused damage on the tailgate. The dealership stated no recalls, and they couldn't find an issue with it.
Keep getting shift to park message after placing truck in park and shutting off the vehicle.
When using the backup camera, the guidelines displayed on the screen do not line up center with the vehicle. Meaning if using the guidelines to reverse as intended, you will be too far to one side as a result. I have taken the vehicle to Chevrolet but they are unable to reprogram the display.

I was almost run over by a Semi-Truck when entering the freeway because my 2022 Chevrolet Truck would not accelerate. I was told at the dealer the loss of power was intentionally caused by the onboard computer. It is programed by the manufacturer to do this anytime certain repairs may be needed. In my case, the life-threatening event I experienced took place because a sensor went out and the computer thought a repair was needed.
The way this truck is designed is there is a 2 inch x 2 inch square metal framing piece that runs along the entire length of the truck. The opening to the pipe is NOT blocked off. The opening points up at the gap that exists between the tailgate and the bed of the truck when the tailgate is open. I had my keys on the tailgate …

The way this truck is designed is there is a 2 inch x 2 inch square metal framing piece that runs along the entire length of the truck. The opening to the pipe is NOT blocked off. The opening points up at the gap that exists between the tailgate and the bed of the truck when the tailgate is open. I had my keys on the tailgate and they slipped and fell - anywhere else they would have fell straight to the ground, but they happened to fall into this framing piece that does not have a cap or anything at all. AAA says this is the third one they've seen in my area this month. My safety concerns are twofold: 1. The keys are moving the entire length of that framing piece that extends the entire length of the truck. I am concerned that if they are close to the cab/front of the truck, my vehicle could be unlocked and potentially stolen until the keys are able to be retrieved. 2. If my keys (which are bulky) can fall in there, there is a significant concern that other debris like leaves, sticks, or anything in the bed off the truck can fall into that same space, as well as moisture/water. I am concerned that this will increase the likelyhood of rust occuring in the framing of the vehicle. I have reported my concerns to GM/Chevrolet and they are stating it is not their concern. They aren't even reviewing the videos that I took of the issue. The dealer has confirmed the location of the keys is in the framework of the truck. They are not addressing my concerns that this could cause early rust in the vehicle.
