2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 consumer reviews

I had a black 2018 Z71 4x4 Silverado. It kept having issue after issue. AC went out at 50K miles, TRANSMISSION (6spd auto) went fully out at 67K miles for no reason, never pulled anything or went off road. It was also burning oil at 67K miles. It shook when driving 70-80mph. I only kept the truck for 8 months then traded it for a faithful Honda Accord...

Very good fuel millage. Not transmission problems yet. Have 103000kms. Starter failed in 2019, repaired under warranty. Has great power for a 5.3L. Quite and soild build

I am 78 yrs old. I have driven the chevy silverado most of my life.I have never had a problem with any of them.This is the best truck made.

I own one and for the past two years I have not been able to drive it ! I can’t keep a frunt end under it! I wish I never had bought it!10,000$ later and three fruntends later i still can’t drive it! ! This was a bad investment! I can’t afford a brand new one! I would think that chevy would have made it right ! But even under worrent thay still changing me out of my pocket! For something that is there falt!! I guess thay don’t need me as a loyal customer! The way thay did me! Just cause I paid it off! It is the biggest mess takes i have ever made! I wont do it again!

JUNK!!! Makes me not want another Chevrolet!! 2018 Z71 Chevy Silverado 1500, loaded!! Never pulled anything but Service Trailer brake system, open and close driver side window comes up ABS, etc screen goes out, all goes dim lose power steering, then dies and power back up most of time, died on 95 in slow traffic!!! Dangerous!!!! Nvr no when it will happen!!! Latest was stabilizer, banging noise, at dealership $2800.00 later, total BS and this is to do with Stabilizer nothing to do with throwing codes loosing power and steering etc!!!!

The truck has been very reliable up to now and rides great and toes well however I am worried about the lifter problem with the motors that are in these as well as the torque converter in driveshaft all appear to be very common problems which GM has not decided to make a recall on yet

I have a 2018 Silverado LT Z71 4x4 off-road. It has 67k miles and the transmission went out for no reason. No abuse and no towing. The AC also went out at 50k miles. Thank god I bought the extended warranty for $3400 which covered the $5400 transmission job. The interior rattles, cheap plastic, driver door speaker rattles. Rides super rough. Doesn’t know what gear to stay in. The V4 fuel mode sucks and destroys the lifters and doesn’t save any mpg. The ride of the truck is super rough especially when hitting pot holes. I think the only thing good about the truck is the looks.

Had a 2000 GMC sierra with the 5.3l and LOVED it. It was involved in a wreck and totaled. Needing another truck in a hurry I bought this 2018 silverado LT with the 5.3l engine. It is the biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. The ride it crazy bouncy, wipers freeze to the windshield and any temp below freezing no matter how long you have the defroster on. Door seals squeak like crazy. I can not wait to find me another older GMC like I had and get rid of this xxxxx Silverado. My 2000 GMC even got better gas mileage. Both with 5.3l engines, auto trans. Extended cabs. If your thinking of buying a 2018 Silverado, DONT DO IT. I'll take a huge $$ loss when I sell mine but it will be worth it. My 2000 GMC at 22 years old. Rode better, zero squeaks, shifted better, 100% more comfortable to ride in. I bought my 2018 in 2021 used. Like new.

Transmission down shifts hard. A clunking sound. Shifts normal going slow . Shifts normal going up through the gears. Feels funny up shifting in first three gears.

AFM sucks. I will not buy anymore GM vehicles. Why would you put 3.08 gears in a truck? Why won’t GM replace my cam and lifters and remove AFM?
