Misfire on other Silverado 1500 years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
These reports start with the check engine light. Many describe the engine running rough or shaking at idle, a P0300-series code, or a catalytic converter code. A worrying number say the light was flashing. Owners often list ignition coils or spark plugs already replaced, and the light coming back afterward.
What got replaced
Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the engine covers the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 28 service bulletins or notices for the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Certain vehicles may have a condition that could cause the engine coolant control valve to fail. If this condition were to occur, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Light) will illuminate and a diagnostic trouble code will set.
This bulletin advises the tech that the Exhaust Roller Follower may be the issue with the engine Ticking noise, misfire or rough run and what to replace if found the cause.
This service bulletin provides a procedure to replace the FPDCM if found to cause customers concerns of Crank No Start, Stalling, Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated – DTC P023F or P129F Set.

What owners wrote
“Engine failure on our 4-cylinder- it just quits same problem as on the 6-cylinder - it just stops running or runs rough. No warning signs and no indication that it is about to fail. Hazardous on the freeway. Vehicle has been at the mechanics for a month now and GM keeps saying the engine is on backorder.”

After drive 20 miles a popup on the dash stated, "slow down and drive safe". I was on a 60-mph road driving 55-mph and the truck started slowing itself down. Took it to one dealer and they said the part was on back order and didn't say anything else”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 45 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
