| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | While driving under normal conditions the 6.2 liter engine in my truck locked down. I was traveling at 70mph in Interstate traffic at night and the vehicle shifted into neutral on its own and had no power. The truck then prompted me to press the start button. Unbeknownst to me at this point the engine had seized up with no warning so I pushed the button which promptly killed all my electronics, lights, etc. Thankfully I was able to "bully" my way towards the shoulder in traffic and roll off the road before I completely lost momentum. The truck would not restart on the shoulder. Towed it to my own shop where we determined the engine had seized. The truck has since been taken to the dealership for warranty work. The truck has 40,000 miles on it at the time of failure with no prior signs of issues. I have been a driver for 24 years, driving class V trucks daily for most of that. I don't know if the average driver would have avoided the potential collisions trying to get off the road with no power that I frankly feel I was lucky to do. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | At 28000 km my 2022 Chevrolet trailboss 1500 with the 6.2 started to burn oil. It was averaging 1 litre every 2000km. The dealership told me this was perfectly acceptable for consumption on this engine. From 28000 km to 45967km I had it in multiple times due to low engine oil warnings and loss of power. At 45967km I took it to another Chevrolet dealership and they inspected my truck and determined that it was caused by piston and rings. This was done under warranty. I got the call stating my truck will be ready they are just doing a test drive to confirm the issue is fixed. When I got to the dealership they informed me it was ticking and they had to investigate further. During the test drive it collapsed a lifter. After they took my engine apart for a second time this was fixed I got my truck back. Over the course of the next month sitting my truck gave me headaches and made me sick. I found out that exhaust was leaking into my cab through my vents due to a 4 head gas monitoring device. I notified the dealership and made an appt. At 47434km my truck collapsed another lifter while I was on the highway with my wife and children in the vehicle and it started to violently shake with vibrations while trying to maintain or accelerate, all the warning lights in my dash went off and I lost all safety systems. I booked it back into the dealership to have it repaired and asked to have the engine replaced as I have had nothing but problems with it and was not happy with this truck or its reliability. I reached out to Chevrolet Canada at this point and asked to have my engine replaced or my truck replaced because this truck has had nothing but problems (many more outside of the engine) and they apologized and said the best they could do was offer me a hat. I have all service records and all service has been complete at Chevrolet dealerships. Truck has no current engine problems but still has many other problems. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Engine locked up while towing an empty trailer. Engine is available currently as it is waiting for a new one at dealership. Stranded others and power failure while towing. Engine has been inspected by dealership. There was no warning lights, the engine was stuck around 4000 rpm. =I gave it gas to release tension on transmission and engine locked up. Engine has no other codes or warnings since owning it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | I was driving down the highway at 65mph when the truck shifted into Neutral. Could not shift back into drive. Pulled over 3 lanes to shoulder and stopped, shifted to Park, turned off engine. Restarted and shifted into Drive. While driving to dealer truck seized up and stopped at a red light. Could not start or shift into neutral. Left stranded in traffic hoping not to get rear ended by 65mph traffic. No warning signs, dash light notifications or check engine lights were on. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | My 2022 Chevrolet 1500 Trail boss (L87 V8) with 65,135 was making a clicking noise. I proceeded to make a service appointment with my local Chevrolet dealership on 05/03/2024. As I showed up for my scheduled appointment, I was turned away by the dealership due to lack of staff. I was told by my service advisor that my truck should be fine to drive for a few days till my rescheduled appointment on [XXX]. On my way to the dealership for the newly rescheduled appointment, my truck engine shut off unexpectedly and without any visual indication of engine problems. I had to call a tow company to take my truck to the dealership. Per the dealership's review, I was told over the phone that my engine had "locked up" and I would have to replace the entire engine. I was a couple thousand miles outside of warranty... the dealership told me there was nothing they could do to assist me with the cost of the new engine. This morning on social media, I saw that NHTSA is doing an investigation of the horrible experience I went through.

| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | The car decided to stop working all of a sudden without warnings or check engine lights, the sound was very loud and jolty, thankfully I was near my house and I was able to park the car. It sounded like there was a hiccup in between its jolt, and the car will shake aggressively until i turned it off. I had the truck towed to my dealer, it took two weeks for them to get back to me and tell me that my engine had metal shreds inside and I needed a new engine. It’s been almost 2 months and I’m still waiting for the tracking number of the new engine. The GM customer support has been very cooperative in regards to this issue. But the time and risk this kind of damage imposes in the vehicle makes me think twice about the safety of the truck. I certainly wouldn’t want this type of failure to happen at 65mph in a highway. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | When I first purchased my new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST(6.2L Engine), i noticed a knocking noise under acceleration around 3-5000 miles. I took the truck into Tom Naquin Chevrolet for my first oil change around the 5k mile mark and notified them of the noise. And over the course of the next couple years, i mentioned the knocking noise every time I took it to Naquins, every 5k miles. Chevrolet deemed the noise as normal and told the dealership to perform no further inspections on the motor. The last two oil changes, I notified the dealership that the noise was getting worse and more noticeable when slightly accelerating. They heard the noise and reached out to chevrolet again and the same thing, they deemed it as normal and advised the dealership to not further investigate. Fast forward to November 30th, 2024, I had my family in the truck and we were driving back from getting a Christmas tree. When we left the tree farm, i noticed the knocking noise was significant and I had no power when accelerating. I dropped my wife and kids off and took my truck straight to the dealership. The second i pulled in, the truck shut off and the motor seized up. It has been at the dealership since that day and the replacement engine is still on backorder with no ETA provided. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Sounded like a bearing let loose. Only 22K miles on the vehicle. Engine started making loud metal on metal noises(even once parked) and loss of power. Towed back to dealership and waiting for further feedback. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | POWER TRAIN | On [XXX] I was traveling was in [XXX] and I got an alert that said engine oil too hot and the truck started to lose power and pulled over and had to be towed to my dealership. I found out a couple days that the engine was seized. The dealership was able to get a crate motor and replace a couple weeks later. With all the buzz I am nervous all Chevy did was put another potential bad engine in the truck.

| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Driving on busy state highway at 55MPH the engine began loosing power and making loud squealing and metallic knocking noises. Fortunately there was a gas station 1/4 mile away and I was able to coast with the engine running and safely exit traffic. This engine is a newly remanufactured unit with only 7000 miles on it replaced under warranty. The previous engine completely seized in a similar traffic situation. It has now been towed to a dealer and diagnosed as crankshaft or bearing failure. There was no warnings or indications of impending engine failure. A less experienced driver may have continued on driving unaware the engine is about to seize completely leaving the vehicle without power steering and brakes which may result in loss of control and panic. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Driving in traffic on two lane, busy state highway at 55MPH the engine stalled without warning. I started pulling over to the shoulder of the road while trying to process what happened. To restart the engine required me to place the automatic transmission in neutral and press the keyless stop/start button. Someone driving the vehicle besides myself may panic and place the gear selector in the wrong position thereby causing an accident at highway speeds. Had this happened in a busy intersection it may caused a collision. Luckily the engine restarted and was able to proceed without incident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | Two separate but related incidents: 1. Sudden complete loss of power on a busy highway interchange. I had to pull over in an unsafe merge point. The truck would not start and had to be towed to a dealership. The tow driver was eventually able to start the truck and load it on a flatbed. The dealership had the vehicle for 3-4 days and replaced the starter and a fuse. 2. Second incident happened approximately 24 hours after getting truck back from the first incident. Sudden loss of power coming up a large hill. Truck completely died and would not start again. Tow truck driver could not get the truck started and therefore could not get the truck in neutral. Tow truck driver had to drag the truck on to a flatbed and tow to a dealership. Dealership reported metal in the oil filter and requires complete engine replacement. The incident happened on December 16th, 2024. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Our check engine light came on 12/17/24 for a oil pressure sensor issue. We promptly brought the truck to the shop where they changed out the sensor, completed an oil change and manually checked the oil pressure. They advised us that the truck was good to drive and there was no indications of any further issues on 12/20/24. 3 hours into our drive on 12/21/24 our engine sized going 80MPH with no warning at 64,000 miles. We got the truck towed to the closest GM dealer where they let us know that the engine had seized. We still have yet to get a clear answer as to what caused the engine to seize other than that it is a "known issue". There were mentions of the lifters as well as storage issues by GM (i.e. their engines were stored in sheds where they may have gotten wet prior to install). GM offered a good will warranty at 60% coverage. They have ordered that engine but no timeline has been given (other than "months" followed by a laugh) because they are on a nationwide backorder. They also have yet to give us any documentation of what occurred and what is being offered by GM even though it has been requested 5 different times. Seems that if you're having a big enough problem to be on a backorder on the engine that this should be pushed to recall and we should be receiving 100% coverage. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | My engine had to be fully replaced @ 28k miles due a crankshaft bearing failing and sending metal shards through my engine. Stranded me on the side of the highway for three hours. Was able to get to the shoulder before it seized up.Also my entire wiring harness and ECU had to be replaced shortly after the engine. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Complete engine failure at 20k miles due to common lifter issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Engine failure. I was traveling back from vacation towing my trailer when without warning the engine seized up. No engine lights or high temperature until that moment. Fortunately we were traveling with another couple behind. Traveling at highway speed we pulled over on the shoulder. Friends pulled us off of the highway to a safe location to be towed when possible. Very concerning having to deal with that situation with family and friends on the highway! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | I experienced rod bearing failure in my L87 6.2L engine at 27k miles. Luckily it didn't seize up while driving, but they did fail as I was driving home. Decided to report this after reading that it is becoming a common problem, but not a recall issue yet. GM is going to replace the engine, but there is no time frame whatsoever. I've seen people complaining about not having their repairs done for months at a time. I'm currently on week number two & counting. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | The engine shutdown while I was driving on the highway. Vehicle accessory power was working but engine wouldn’t start. Truck was towed to dealer for repair. Dealer is replacing motor. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | Driving at cruising speed and the truck just shut off and left me stranded on the side of the road. Dealership said the engine died and it needs to be replaced. They’ve had it since Thanksgiving and today is the 19th of January. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | -Bearing Failure -My Safety was put at Risk due to the vehicle instantaneously Stalling in the middle of a 4 Lane interstate without any prior warnings. -The vehicle has been diagnosed by 2 dealerships which both state that receiving a new engine is near to impossible due to this exact issue to be happening to a lot more of the same vehicles at the same time. So unfortunately they cannot confidently give me an ETA or anything in regards to my vehicle even being fixed. -Yes by 2 GM Mechanics -No Warnings at all, the major concern is that there were no warnings at all. As well as leaving me stranded in the middle of a busy Interstate. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
