|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN | My L87 6.2L engine shut off on the interstate while driving in traffic at 70mph. I coasted to the left shoulder and attempted to restart it, but it would not turn over. I had it towed to a dealer where they diagnosed it as seized. Currently waiting for a new engine to arrive with no ETA. I had no warning signs or sounds. Two months prior it had the recall completed passing the PICO test and changed to the heavier oil. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 2022 Silverado 1500 6.2L total engine failure, replacement needed | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Ever since I’ve own, the vehicle emergency breaking has never worked. I get all the red lights and noises and I almost ruined somebody but luckily I swerved, but the truck is never break on its own and the dealership tells me that’s the way it is you have to hit somebody first before it breaks and the other day I was driving and all kinds of service lights came on the dash the trucks are misfiring | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES | I replaced rear brakes and rotors after getting brake monitor warning on 2022 silverado 1500. I have been having problem with amount of force needed to stop truck for quite a while. The pads were not worn much at all but brake pad clips were broken on both sides of rear brakes. Rotors were rusted which looked as if rear brakes have not been contacting rotors. The brakes work significantly better now. I live in NC where rust is not serious problem. I feel there is a problem with rear brake hardware on these trucks | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ENGINE | The transmission died on my 2.7L Turbo Max engine in my 2022 Silverado. The "D" was flashing and giving no acceleration when pressing on the gas. The vehicle was also hard to shift. From my understanding the 2.7L turbo max is the only engine in this time frame that hasn't been re-called due to transmission issues. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel tank and def tank issues that throws error codes that will make your engine go into slump mode | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The rear tailgate started opening when I opened my doors and also when driving down the road. I would pull up and tail gate was wide open. I was okay but thankfully nothing in the back came out and hit vehicles behind me. No warning lights and anything. Dealership said it’s a faulty tailgate switch. Which 800,000 vehicles were recalled but not mine. Even though it’s the same year as the recalled vehicles. Gm needs to be held accountable for all of them. This was a problem for 3 weeks. Constant dead batteries, jumping vehicle, closing tailgate and causing lights to go crazy. This is a definite safety concern. Had to wait a week to get into dealership for diagnosis. Than over a week for the parts. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | My coolant control valve has failed, the dealership is saying the radiator is now leaking at a weld. They said this is a know issue, but are refusing to repair it. It is caused by the know failing ccv, causing the radiator to overheat. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The tailgate is clicking continuously and dropping at random moments when I’m stationary as well as driving. It is draining the battery and leaving me stranded with zero power or resources for help. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE | While driving with my trailer my Tailgate opened by itself and hit my trailer when backing up. There is a open recall for a faulty switch that may allow the Tailgate to open unexpectedly. I called my dealer and said they could only replace the faulty switch and not my damaged tailgate. It was due to the faulty switch that led to my Tailgate getting damaged. I believe this switch and my Tailgate need to replaced. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ENGINE | While stopped at a stop light engine quit running and after three attempts to restart MIL appeared and stated low oil pressure. Safety hazards included; being stuck at an intersection blocking traffic and putting myself at risk of being rear ended. was below freezing temperatures and stranded for an hour before tow arrived GM dealership found engine to be bad and needs replaced. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | While turning left, the transmission stuttered and got stuck in first gear. I did some basic research and learned that this is a known issue with 2020-2022 Chevrolet Silverado vehicles. I attempted the suggested fix which worked briefly. I then took the vehicle to my local Chevrolet dealer for repairs. After further research I learned that this is a known issue with my year and model of Silverado. GM further voluntarily offered a 15 year, 150,000 mile warranty for this issue. According to GM, my particular VIN is not included in this recall. I am concerned as to how many other trucks are not included. This issue also cost nearly 4,000 for the repair. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ENGINE | L87 6.2L engine failure after doing recommended recall for a different oil | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Unknown. The transmission is kicking really bad. There are recalls on other vehicles similar to ours that are having the same issue. It has been doing this for a while now. It shifts hard from 1st to 2nd gear and when coming to a complete stop it also jerks. Also at times the check engine light comes on and it will not shift at all. I am afraid this is going to cause an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I went to Chevy in Warwick Rhode Island a few months back after all my adaptive cruise control and lane departure stuff stopped working. They reset it and it was fine for a couple months and now it isn’t working again. I went there and they said that my camera is not getting enough power and they have seen so many of these problems happening with these trucks but still no recall. Was waiting to get one because there should be a recall on these if so many trucks are having issues with it | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 2022 ZR2 Silverado with the L87 6.2L. Have been complaining of shuttering starting at 22,500 miles and a few times after that. Vehicle passed PICO recall test and engine failed within 2,000 miles with zero warning. I was merging into traffic accelerating. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Component Involved: Visibility/Backup Device, Electrical System, Forward Collision Avoidance Description of Incident: The Android 12-based infotainment system in this vehicle is suffering from a progressive hardware/software failure that creates a severe, multi-layered safety hazard. CRITICAL DRIVER DISTRACTION: The system has become largely non-responsive, requiring me to repeatedly press on-screen buttons to perform basic functions. This forces me to divert my eyes and manual attention away from the road for periods far exceeding 2 seconds. This "visual-manual distraction" is a direct result of the system's inability to process commands, making safe operation impossible while attempting to use vehicle controls. VISIBILITY FAILURE (FMVSS 111): The failure impacts the digital rearview mirror and the safety camera feeds. These cameras frequently glitch, lag, or freeze, depriving me of necessary rear and surround visibility while moving. This is a violation of federal safety standards for rearview visibility. SYSTEMIC ELECTRICAL FAILURE: This "slowly dying" system is also interfering with the vehicle's communication bus, causing the power door locks to malfunction. This creates an entrapment or security risk. I have reported these issues to General Motors/OnStar. Despite their awareness of these "electrical gremlins" and the existence of limited service updates (like Program #N242435631), no permanent fix has been provided. This is a systemic safety defect that requires a mandatory recall to prevent accidents caused by driver distraction and visibility loss. The system needs updating to Android 14. It is Android 12 now. This is the fix. Gm want me to pay $250 for a hour for a macanic to update it. Gm was updating over the air, but it was causing the battery on the vehicle's to prematurely die under warranty. It was affecting their bottom line. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN | The transmission valve body failed. Even after the recall software update that it received. There were no warnings or codes, the transmission simply just started shifting hard and would not go in reverse. This type of incident could prove to be very dangerous especially in high traffic areas. There are only 35,000 miles on the Silverado 1500 trail boss. I took it in to the local Chevrolet dealership, and they confirmed that it was the valve body. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH on four occasions, the rear wheels locked up. The contact slowed down and steered to the side of the road, and inspected the vehicle, but found no fault with it. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 101,411. | Crash: No Fire: No | 101,411 |
| Mar 2026 | ENGINE | My GM Silverado 2022 with 68k miles was recalled at 60k miles for the P0016 failure code involving the internal components of the L87 6.2L engine. The truck was promptly scheduled for testing and taken into the authorized dealer. The truck passed inspection. A very short time later (approx 8k miles or less) the 6.2L engine had a CRITICAL ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, the truck lost power after alerting a "CRITICALLY LOW OIL PRESSURE, SHUT ENGINE DOWN IMMEDIATELY". The vehicle shut itself down and I was left in a very dangerous situation with traffic and other serious hazards. The truck lost oil pressure and shut down which is a major safety concern as this rendered my GM truck without power; engine shutdown occurred WHILE DRIVING. This is AFTER I was assured the vehicle was 100% ok and NOT defective. It is not only defective, itr had to be towed on a semi truck and left us stranded in an unfamiliar place, again safety is a major concern in this area in addition to the earlier safety issues presented for my truck. It did have the P0016 code, which was found out when towed to the dealer, who also stated that the oil filter was "absolutely full of metal shavings". The dealers shop foreman stated they were going to disassemble the engine and see how bad the damage is as he stated it was VERY SEVERE. So much so that the dealer ordered a completely new engine but have no idea of arrival or when the vehicle will be done/completed. I reported this to GM Corp. office and stated my valid safety concerns but was quickly denied any resolution even in the face oif evidence by the dealer and my repeated efforts to tell them that I do NOT trust this specific truck any longer because it is a safety hazard and has already placed me in harms way. GM is not working to resolve my extreme concern regarding safety of this specific vehicle that had passed the engine recall test yet had a critical engine failure and loss of power while driving. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
