Well hello there!
I really am enjoying my 2019 Silverado. It’s powerful, very spacious inside, quiet (well mostly, I’ll get to that in a second), and rides like a dream. I have the LTZ Z71 CC and have tons of bells and whistles.
I swore off Chevy long ago - my Father retired from GM so I get the employee pricing- but I decided to give them a try again. I know it’s no Toyota in regards to reliability and It has proven me correct so far...
Here’s the list at 4532 miles. Most of these issues are discussed to death in the GM Forum...
Climate control screen says “Climate Control Off” even when it’s not from time to time. Chevy knows the issue but has no resolution yet. Software related.
Rear window defogger does not work in the sliding portion.
Big one- Drivers halfshaft has 1/2” of in and out play causing a terrible jingle sound in 2wd. When in 4wd it goes away.

GM says Eaton had bad castings in the front diff causing the bearing to move. They are replacing the diffs to resolve- but it’s a crap shoot as to whether or not you get a good replacement unit.
So- as expected I’m having some issues. It’s a Chevy. I HATE going to the dealer for repairs but I’m old enough now and mature enough now to know how to deal with them to get results so, although inconvenient, it’ll be fine.
My 4Runner has 165,000 trouble free miles after being beat to death- it was an awesome vehicle! I just wanted a change- and back into a truck. The Silverado is nice in many ways that the 4Runner wasn’t. Reliability isn’t one of them.
That’s my story so far.
