| Feb 2025 | ENGINE | I have a Silverado ZR2 with a 6.2L. My engine blew on it. The main bearing seized on it at the dealership.

| Feb 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | we were informed by dealer that there is a recall reguarding some software that needs to be updated to reduce the chance of battery drainage.

| Feb 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | My GM 6.2L L87 Engine failed at 65,000 miles. Left me stranded at an intersection blocking traffic. Traffic safety and state police had to come direct traffic while I was waiting for a tow. Two seperate dealers quoted me over $15,000 to replace the engine with 1/2 the cost covered by GM. This was too expensive for me, so I ended up trading the vehicle in and taking the negative equity hit on a new vehicle loan. I seen there was an investigation opening on GM 6.2L L87 engine failures and I wanted to share my experience. This also happened to more people I know, including my own father with his 2022 Cadillac Escalade | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle was started; however, it failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed fuel pump and it needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure reoccurred; however, the contact disabled the auto-stop feature, and the vehicle independently reset. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,512. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 27,512 |
| Feb 2025 | ENGINE | I started to hear a light tick/knocking sound during my daily 68 mile commute to work, 3/1/2024. When I would accelerate, the ticking would get louder. I noticed a bit of shaking at the same time of acceleration. I took it into the dealership on 3/2/2024 where they discovered metal shavings in my oil filter. They told me I needed an entire new engine at 51,000 miles. They replaced the engine under my existing power train warranty (which was valid until vehicle got to 60,000miles). I got my truck back on 4/19/2024, and was told I would NOT be given any additional warranty or guarantee for the engine and labor associated with the replacement. I asked if there was any additional warranty that would be given, and they said no. I have a high mile commute, and in this instance, my Power Train warranty was up just a few months after the replacement. My service advisor said if I had paid out of pocket, they would offer a 100,000 mile warranty. But since it was a warranty replacement, that I would only have the balance of whatever remained on my powertrain warranty. My concern is that this may happen again. I want to report my issue to be sure that every replacement is fully investigated and GM is held accountable. This is the first new vehicle I've purchased, the 5th vehicle I have owned in my lifetime and I have never needed a new engine. This is a fully loaded top of the line truck. It has every added feature. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Feb 2025 | ENGINE | noticed my engine sounded different, its a 2022 and i owned it for 1.5 years, i was taking it to the dealer for a oil change anyways, when i was there i asked them to through ears on it, they called me a hour later trying to explain it was due to the cold air (15-20 degrees) and the 6.2l uses 93 gas. i asked them why it didnt sound like that last winter and then the senior take wanted to keep it for a few days to go over it more, 5 days later i stop in there because im not getting a answer to be told i need a new motor because my bearing are shot at only 16k miles. the chevy dealer also gave me the option to trade it in to try to "help" but then wanted to offer me 10K less then what i paid for it. i told them to just do the repair, however im told the wait in best case scenario is 6 months but can take as long as 12 months..... im pretty disgruntled about this entire situation. my trucks a 2022 silverado LT trail boss,and they supplied not even a equal truck. i was given a 2024 silverado custom which has alot less features. meanwhile im stuck paying my auto loan for my truck that i cant drive, so its sitting in the back of a chevy dealers parking lot losing value. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | On 12.27.24, the vehicle lost motive power while traveling through a busy and dangerous intersection and coasted to a stop. It was towed to a GM Dealership where it was determined that the engine had seized as it wouldn't crank. The serpentine belt was also noted to be atypically damaged as if it wasn't riding evenly / correctly on the pulleys. The vehicle may be available for inspection but as of this date, repairs have been authorized... so availability may change. The dealer will likely retain the failed engine. The sudden loss of motive power is always potentially dangerous. In my situation, I could have been unable to move out of a busy intersection and been subject to cross-traffic collision. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer but has not been further inspected by anyone other than the dealer. No warning indicators occurred that led me to believe their was an impending issue with the powertrain / engine. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | ENGINE | August 24, 2024 I was driving my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 6.2 L V8 engine with 47,258 miles. I was traveling at approximate 65 mph. My engine siezed up and I had to pull my vehicle off of the two lane road I was traveling. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. Approximately a month after the vehicle engine seized because I did not have the funds to cover the repairs at the time of engine failure. Once the vehicle engine was diagnosed at the dealership I was advised that the repairs were under warranty. The repairs took appoximately one month due to waiting on new engine to be provided by the manufacture. My vehicle was returned repaired on 10/31/2024 with the same type of engine. I was advised that engine warranty would not be extended on the new engine. That this engine was only warranted under the old engine mileage and age. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | I was driving down the highway at 60 MPH and a display warning came on the display monitor. It said shift into neutral and restart engine. Then the engine died and I had to try and get off the highway. There was a complete lose of power so getting off the highway was difficult without any power including steering. The engine would not restart and when to tow truck came about 2 hours later it still would not start or shift into neutral to be loaded. Eventually the tow driver got it to shift into neutral so he could loaded the truck. My safety was at risk because it was difficult to get off the road and had there been more traffic it could of resulted in a collision. I was in a dead area for phone service and I had to sit there for about 2 hours waiting for someone to stop and help me get to an area with cell service. The pickup was dropped off at the nearest GM dealership and they looked at it and the engine had a catastrophic failure. It requires a new engine, but since it is under warranty it may take up to 1 years for a replacement. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | - Engine seizure: Reason Undisclosed to me - Vehicle was traveling at highway speeds, lost power steering - Dealership disclosed that it was due to an engine seizure - UNKNOWN - Only 1 indicator came on the instrument cluster and occurred after the failure. The indicator stated “Shifting conditions not met” I had lost power from the vehicle and vehicle shifted into neutral by itself. The vehicle was within normal temperatures before the incident and maintenance was up-kept. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | My truck is equipped with the chevrolet 6.2 engine. I was driving on interstate when I got a reading on the dash that the engine was shutting down due to the engine oil overheating. I did get to the berm safely without being hit by another car. Normally wouldn't think that the engine blowing up would be safety related but it happened in traffic. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | STRUCTURE | My tailgate opens and closes on it's own. There is already a recall but not on my VIN for some reason. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ENGINE | While attempting to merge onto the freeway from the "on ramp," the acceleration began to dissipate. I noticed the truck had shifted itself into neutral. I then had to put my emergency lights on and coast as long as I could. There was not a check engine light. The vehicle also would not restart. It was then towed to a Chevrolet dealership and the recommendation was to replace the engine. They had notified me that this was a common issue with this engine and they see this all the time. There were four trucks ahead of me at this dealership alone. The story was the same and neighboring dealerships. At the time, they were not able to estimate the time for repair to be complete. This was a safety risk since there were cars behind me and the vehicle lost power. This could have resulted in an accident and caused injury to myself or others. There is also risk being stranded on the shoulder of a major freeway awaiting a tow truck. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| 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 | 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 |
