2026 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 — Complaint #2161012
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM filed December 29, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2161012 (ODI reference 11707432) concerns a 2026 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 and was filed on December 29, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 28, 2025. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 cohort independently describe similar electrical system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2026 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
AT 150 MILES ON THE ODEMETER THE TPM LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, GOT OUT AND CHECKED ALL 4 TIRES. NOT NOTICING ANY ISSUES I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED ON THE STEREO. THE SPEAKERS SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE BLOWN APART. STATIC AND THE SOUND OF MUFFLED VIBRATIONS. I DROVE TO MY INTENDED DESTINATION AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. AFTER FINISHING MY BUSINESS AT THIS LOCATION I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE TPM LIGHT WAS NOT ILUMINATED. THIS IS A HIGE SAFTY ISSUE. AS A FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN DEAD AND MULATED PEOPLE THAT STOPED ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOT OUT TO CHECK THERE VEHICLE AND WERE STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO IMMEADIATLY STOP AND GET OUT OF THERE VEHICLE THINKING THERE IS A FLAT TIRE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A COMPUTER GLITCH IN THE 2026 CHEVEROLET SILVERADO 1500 SERIES.
