   The Wheel Bearing Bolts came loose and began to fall out. One rubbed against the clamp for the axle boot. The driver was alerted to an issue due to a whining noise from the wheel. Unclear if this noise came from the wheel bearing failing due to misalignment caused by added stress on the single remaining bolt or the rubbing of one of the bolts against the axle. Visual inspection showed one of the bolts had almost completely fallen out. Car was towed to a repair shop and wheel…

   The sway bar detached from the frame running down the road due to a faulty installation completed by the production line. My wife heard a clunking sound and recognized instability in the vehicle during turns she immediately stopped driving it until it could be evaluated. Apparently during manufacture the mounting holes for the sway bar were threaded too big for the bolts used so they installed helicoil repairs into the frame which failed allowing the sway bar to detach. I…

   While driving within the neighborhood, the upper control arm ball joint failed and the wheel folded under. After some research, it appears that this truck purchased new from the dealership where it was upfitted with a suspension leveling accessory as shown in the photo. It should have been included in NHTSA Recall 21V-718 as it clearly is premature failure of the OEM upper control arm ball joint due to the dealer installed Suspension Level Kit. Vehicle was purchased new at…

   In August 2023 I was hearing a popping noise coming from my truck. Took it to Hare dealership for diagnosis and repair. They had my truck until September 8, 2023. I was told Hare service couldn't reproduce the noise, ran multi-point inspection and was informed that everything was fine. Few days later, I returned to dealership and reported still hearing the popping noise. But service Mgr. said they found nothing wrong that wasn't repaired. Approximately 10 weeks later, while…

The transmission has popped so hard, on multiple occasions that I was convinced that someone had hit me from behind and had to pull over. The downshift is occasionally so hard that it that you jerk forward out of the seat. In October of 2022 the downshift at 15 mph made me lose control of my truck and utility trailer, sliding me into a small…

    On my 2019-Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the ball joint in the front upper control arm broke and caused the wheel to separate from the truck while driving. The truck is available for inspection where I had to have it towed to the dealership repair center. Fortunately, no other vehicles were on the same road as me when it happened, and I was on a local road not going very fast, but it could have killed me and others. It most definitely put our safety at risk. Because of a faulty…

    The front driver side upper ball joint broke. I was going down the highway at 70 miles an hour, pulling a trailer when it broke, I was lucky to keep it on the road. It ruined the rim,tire,brake lines and CV boot. Just fortunate there wasn’t a car next to me or we would’ve hit it and nobody died, especially with my young son in the car. Also when I got it towed the tow truck driver said he picked about the same year truck up three weeks prior for the same issue a broken ball…
