One of the owners of the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 reported that while driving his vehicle on the highway, he felt a thump that looked like the vehicle has hit a dog. It kept happening again and again. After a while there was a continuous sound coming from the engine and the engine did not have power. When he pulled the vehicle to the side and then turned it back again, it started running but the same problem started occurring again. There are also complaints where there is just rattling noise without these other problems. However, rattling noise from the engine is not what you want from your vehicle.

In some cases, when the vehicle started moving at reduced speeds. It felt like the power is significantly reduced. Still, the owners were lucky as in other cases the vehicle do not move at all. 

Electrical System Problem
