Best and Worst Chevrolet Silverado Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 13 Chevrolet Silverado model years from 2010 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 869 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2012 — 360 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2013 — 442 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2010 — 448 complaints, 0 recall campaigns

Most owner complaints

  • 2014 — 1,610 complaints, 9 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2015 — 1,417 complaints, 12 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2019 — 1,185 complaints, 17 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
