Model years Chevrolet Silverado 2500
2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
This year drew an ordinary 90 complaints for a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 — the model's median is 121. What they were about is the unusual part: 18.9% of them mention lock, against 5.5% across the model's other years.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- lock — 18.9% of this year's complaints, against 5.5% across the model's other years (3.5×). Owners wrote it as: lock, ignition, engage, remove.
- key — 13.3% of this year's complaints, against 2.4% across the model's other years (5.6×). Owners wrote it as: key, release, come out, lots.
- dealer who — 12.2% of this year's complaints, against 4.8% across the model's other years (2.5×). Owners wrote it as: dealer who, who informed, transfer, differential.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
When truck is turned off, cannot remove key. You have to wait 5 minutes or more before the key will come out of the ignition. Sometimes longer. This is an ongoing problem. We have another truck doing the same thing.
Key gets stuck in the ignition and won't come out. I see lots of people online with the same issue.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
