Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.

What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.

Owners filed 5,501 complaints with NHTSA about the 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and 1,421 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.

42% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 8 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.

The most-reported areas are the engine (26.6% of complaints, typically around 45,000 miles), the transmission and driveline (20.6% of complaints, typically around 35,000 miles), the electrical system (11.7% of complaints, typically around 10,000 miles).

24 recall campaigns cover this generation.

If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.

How many miles does a 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 last?

Half of the failure reports on the 2019–2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 were filed by 20,000 miles and 90% by 103,000 miles — figures drawn from 1,421 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.

4 reports (0.3%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Silverado 1500 reached that mileage, not that it died there.

Before you buy a 2019–2025 Silverado 1500: the 3-minute check

Generated from 1,421 mileage-tagged complaints, 24 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 24 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
  2. Ask for electrical system repair records. This area fails at a median of 10,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
  3. Ask for brakes repair records. This area fails at a median of 4,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
  4. Check engine (6.2l l87) on 2021–2024 cars. Connecting-rod and main bearing failure causing sudden engine seizure or loss of power; GM recalled roughly 597,000 2021-2024 trucks and SUVs with the 6.2L L87 in April 2025, attributing it to manufacturing debris and…
  5. Check engine (5.3l/6.2l dfm) on 2019–2024 cars. Dynamic Fuel Management lifter failure — the same deactivating-lifter mechanism as AFM, extended to more cylinders; produces misfire and camshaft lobe damage.
  6. Check transmission (10l80) on 2019–2022 cars. Shudder, harsh 1-2 shifts and torque-converter complaints, addressed by fluid and control-module recalibration TSBs.
  7. Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
  8. End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.

For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 42% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.

On inspection, the engine and the transmission and driveline are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The transmission and driveline in particular shows a median failure mileage of 35,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.

None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when

Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 20,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

The engine accounts for 26.6% of complaints (1,463 reports, 251 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 45,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 11,000 and 85,000 miles.

A single system taking 26.6% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 20.6% of complaints (1,132 reports, 241 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 35,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 73,000 miles.

The electrical system accounts for 11.7% of complaints (643 reports, 159 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 10,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 800 and 45,000 miles.

The brakes account for 7.1% of complaints (388 reports, 146 of them with a mileage figure), and they fail early — a median of 4,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 13,000 miles.

Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 6.8% of complaints (376 reports, 50 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 800 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 176 and 5,000 miles.

The steering accounts for 3.9% of complaints (217 reports, 62 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 13,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 3,000 and 40,000 miles.

Differences between model years

Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2019 model year drew the most — 1,541 complaints — while 2025 drew the fewest at 135. The median year sits at 829.

The first year of the generation, 2019, sits above the median. That is a common pattern — early production of a redesigned vehicle tends to surface problems that later years do not repeat — and it is worth weighing when choosing between years.

Recalls and what they cover

NHTSA records 24 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.

The campaigns cluster around the airbag system (4), the tyres (4), the transmission and driveline (3). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.

Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.

Documented problems

Engine (6.2l L87) 2021–2024

Connecting-rod and main bearing failure causing sudden engine seizure or loss of power; GM recalled roughly 597,000 2021-2024 trucks and SUVs with the 6.2L L87 in April 2025, attributing it to manufacturing debris and bearing/crankshaft dimensional variation.

Engine (5.3l/6.2l Dfm) 2019–2024

Dynamic Fuel Management lifter failure — the same deactivating-lifter mechanism as AFM, extended to more cylinders; produces misfire and camshaft lobe damage.

Transmission (10l80) 2019–2022
