In general, the Silverado is a reliable truck, so don’t be too nervous. That said, most owners report 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Diesel problems in three main categories: engine, electrical, and brake.
  • Engine: Drivers complain of the truck feeling rough while idling along with a long crank and no start
  • Electrical: There have been complaints about faulty radios, backup cameras, and other electrical components
  • Brakes: Chevy is aware that some Silverados have had breaking issues with brakes suddenly failing or having the dashboard lights suddenly warn of failure. This part is currently being recalled
