ENGINE FAILURE AT 98,011 MILES. ENGINE REPLACED (WITH A REMAN I BELIEVE) TWO MONTHS AFTER INCIDENT. ENGINE FAILURE CAUSED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.
On October 27, 2026, my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ with the 6.2L engine suddenly lost propulsion on Interstate 80 near Atlantic, Iowa. The mileage was approximately 62,000, although I am uncertain of the exact mileage. I had driven approximately three hours after leaving my hotel that morning before stopping at a gas station. When I restarted the truck, the engine barely turned over before starting. No engine warning lights came on at that time. I continued onto I-80. Approximately five minutes later, the truck began losing speed with cruise control engaged. I disengaged cruise control and pressed the accelerator. The engine revved, but the truck did not accelerate. The check engine light came on just before the truck shifted itself into neutral. I coasted to an off-ramp, and the truck would not restart. It required towing. The sudden loss of propulsion at interstate speed put me and surrounding traffic at risk because I could no longer accelerate or maintain speed. The dealership inspected the truck and told me it failed what they described as a “propulsion test” and was included in a recall. The specific internal component that failed is unknown to me. Whether the failed components have been retained and are available for inspection is also unknown to me.
My truck started making a ticking noise. When I took it in for an oil change, the mechanic said it was a common problem with Silverado 2.7 engines
I own a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with the 6.2L V8 (L87), covered by Recall 25V-274. I believe the remedy does not establish that my vehicle is safe, and GM has declined to confirm that it is. My truck was inspected under the recall in August 2025. It passed, and the oil was changed to 0W-40. I later returned to the dealer to complete the recall work, where the new oil fill cap was installed. Before the remedy, the truck had been driven roughly 30,000 miles on the original oil, including repeated towing during a move. NHTSA’s EA26005 states it has received complaints of engine failure after both the oil change remedy and engine replacement, and that GM reported thousands of complaints of post-remedy engine failure. My vehicle received the same remedy. I asked GM in writing to confirm my engine does not have the defect and will not fail or lose propulsion because of it, or to explain whether the inspection can determine the condition of internal engine components. GM did not answer those questions. Its reply stated only that the remedy was performed “to help affected vehicles avoid the defect condition,” that the new oil “offers increased protection against engine damage,” and pointed to extended engine coverage. I drive daily in the [XXX] of northern [XXX], on two-lane highways where passing requires the oncoming lane, on long stretches with no cell service and unreliable satellite coverage, and in winter temperatures that regularly fall below zero. GM’s recall filing states that if the engine fails during operation, “the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.” Here, a sudden loss of propulsion is a serious risk to anyone in the vehicle. Warranty coverage does not address that risk, because it applies only after a failure. I ask that NHTSA consider my vehicle and these conditions in its investigation of the Recall 25V-274 remedy. I have an open case with GM’s executive customer care team. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.
As I was driving, the vehicle threw a CEL and I saw the RPM’s fall. This happened multiple times, twice at an all-way stop sign, and once at a major intersection resulting in me being stranded with my vehicle in the middle of an active roadway, unable to move my vehicle. I brought my vehicle into the Chevrolet Dealership and the service department is claiming that I need to pay $1500 for a fuel pump with a CEL code that is not able to be duplicated. There is a TSB 24-NA-139 regarding my issue saying that it is not the fuel pump, it is the fuel pump control module. My issue is that the dealership wants me to pay $1500 for a fuel pump solely off of their “guess” of what the issue is. The bulletin calls out the P102B as one possible code related to the issues. I refused this service since this is just the dealership’s guess of what the issue may be and I believe the fuel pump control module should be replaced for free under the 8yr/80k federal emissions warranty. I requested that the dealership check the module as a part of the $245 diagnosis I paid for and they are insisting that the issue is with the fuel pump.
I am reporting an engine failure on my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine, following completion of NHTSA Safety Recall 25V-274 (GM N252494000). The recall was performed when my vehicle already had over 150,000 miles. At that time, GM performed the oil-and-cap remedy rather than replacing the engine. Approximately 9,000 miles after the recall repair, at approximately 193,000 miles, the engine began making knocking noises and subsequently required replacement. There was no low-oil warning that we observed before the failure ( both in the vehicle nor on the app) and we were not aware of any oil leaks. The vehicle had also been serviced by our local mechanic approximately 3,000 miles before the failure, at which time the mechanic advised that an oil change was not necessary. I am concerned that this failure may be related to the connecting-rod or crankshaft defects identified in the original GM recall and that the recall remedy may not have adequately corrected the problem. I am requesting that NHTSA review this complaint as a possible engine failure following completion of Recall 25V-274 and consider it in its investigation of post-recall engine failures. This vehicle is currently at a dealership waiting for an engine replacement. In speaking with the service manager at this dealership, he agreed that this was related to the recall and actually said to me that he felt that by replacing the oil with the heavier oil (as recommended by the recall), is probably the what caused the engine failure.
I have a 2022 Chevrolet Z71 with a 6.2 l L87 engine. The motor blew up for what the recall is for from chevrolet.The crank and all that stuff seized up while my step son was driving it was told to burn Chevalier of rock. Hill, where they said, yep, this is the exact recall problem that we've been having with all these trucks. And the truck still isn't running, right?It's still knocking and making weird sounds and losing power after getting a new motor
I have the 6.2l motor and this motor is failing AGAIN. They did the pick test and I did not qualify for the recall. But my truck is making the same noise again before it blew. The Chevy dealership informed me that it was the valve train that was causing the motor to blow. But this is the second motor. How can the second motor have the same problem right? Well this motor is now about to blow and again the dealer said it’s the valve train. The noise is coming from the lifters and the variable valve train and the mechanics of the valve train are what is causing the to blow. This is a main reason why the motors are blowing even after the new oil was changed. I don’t know what’s to do with this truck because it is out of warranty and it is about to fail
Engine seized in middle of highway and truck went immediately into park. No warnings.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil, Additionally, the vehicle rattled abnormally and lost motive power intermittently while driving 70-75 MPH on the interstate and while driving uphill. The driver pulled over to the side of the road on several occasions; however, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road on one occasion while driving uphill. After waiting for several seconds, the vehicle became drivable. The contact stated that the engine was previously replaced twice due to similar failures, after which the vehicle needed to be towed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer, where an oil consumption test was recommended. However, the contact stated that the oil consumption test required driving the vehicle. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Action Number: EA26005 (Engine). The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.
Vehicle engine failed with approximately 48,000 miles. Prior to failure, engine shut off while traveling 55mph on a public highway causing operator to have to pull over to restart engine. Vehicle inspected by GM dealer who advised metal in engine oil, requiring engine replacement.
I was sent a notice of a recall regarding a fuel pump, power control module that needs to be taken care of, but it is not being accepted under my VIN number. I believe that there is this issue with my vehicle or something similar because every day I start the vehicle up for the first time and drive it. It is jerking me and does not have proper fuel or proper pressure to move the vehicle without jerking me. After 10 to 15 minutes it cleans up and drives better but then again we’ll redo it if I sit still for multiple hours and restart the vehicle again late in the afternoon it will do it all over.
My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with the 6.2L L87 engine suffered a sudden catastrophic engine failure after passing the inspection for Recall 25V274 at approximately 70,000 miles and being returned to service. While I was pulling into my driveway, the engine abruptly shut off as though the ignition had been turned off. It would crank but would not restart. The sudden loss of propulsion while the vehicle was moving created a safety concern; a similar shutdown in traffic could cause a crash. The Chevrolet dealership disassembled the engine and documented multiple lifters stuck in their bores, requiring excessive force to remove, and deep cylinder-wall scoring that could catch a fingernail. The dealer determined that the block damage required complete engine replacement and replaced the engine. The dealer attributed the failure to lack of oil or improper maintenance and denied recall-related coverage, stating that the failure involved the upper engine rather than the crankshaft or connecting-rod bearings covered by the recall. I strongly dispute the poor-maintenance conclusion. Oil changes were performed regularly. The dealer told me the oil was somewhat low but still within the operating range when the truck arrived after the failure. I ask NHTSA to review this sudden engine failure following completion of Recall 25V274 and whether the recall inspection/remedy adequately addresses the risk of subsequent engine failure. I am not asserting that a particular manufacturing defect caused this failure; the underlying cause remains disputed. Availability of the failed engine for further inspection is unknown.
We were sold a 2022 ZR2 1500 Chevy pickup on 8/14/2026. The dealer disclosed "unknown" on the used car buyer disclosure form. By admission of service department this truck's engine seized in March 2026. A replacement engine was ordered, placed on back order, and arrived to the dealership in August 2026. The service department believed that the repair was done and finished on 8/14/2026, the same date as the purchase. On 8/30/2026, the truck was not running properly, not moving forward despite pressing on the gas, and lots of instrument panel lights. The truck was towed to the dealership and "fixed" They claim it was a fuel injector and separate from the issue regarding the engine.
My truck was driving fine down the road and started getting a knocking sound. I had a tow truck come pick the truck up and take it to the dealer, after about a week they advised I needed a new motor
The transmission it erratically shifts and has a roaring sound. I also says shift to park when it is in park. It wont start when it is cold it just cranks and cranks it has since i bought it. Well when my kids and I are going down the road and the transmittion randomly starts up shifting or down shifting and whenit goes out its gonn lock up probably where fever we are. as for the starting thing when its cold its isnt the ideal to have to go build a fire in the garage just to get my truck to start during an emergency. I have had a garage hook it up to a computer to see if it was throwing any codes. It wasn't except a brake sensor. I bought this truck 2 years ago and have nothing but trouble with it shifting and and the dash always says shift to park. this is one of the worst Chevrolet trucks i have ever bought. it only has around 70000 miles on it. I had the truck about 3 month when the transmittion issue started. It has never started when it was cold out side the whole time I have owned igt.
Engine is the 6.2L V8. Engine has started consuming oil. Consumed approximately 3 quarts of oil over 4k miles. 0 signs of external leakage.
I took my truck in to have a bad fuel pump module looked at. During the inspection they found some metal in the oil and it was confirmed by more being in the oil filter. This truck had previoulsy been cleared on the NHTSA Campaign 25V-274, but now it appears that it is a part of that recall. The dealer has initiated the work with the chevy corporate offices and I am working to secure a rental/ loaner car. I am filing this in the event there are any issues getting the new replacement engine.
Coolant Control Valve is malfunctioning. Check engine code P1098, Running Fans Loud cooling fans running at full blast shortly after turning off the engine. General Motors issued special coverages N252508341 extending coolant control valve warranty protection up to 15 years or 150,000 miles for select 3.0L Duramax vehicles. Unfortunately, GM says my VIN isn’t covered by the extended warranty even though it has all the same issues as those that are covered down to the check engine code notes on their bulletin N252508341.
I experienced a crankshaft bearing failure while driving my 6.2L V8 Chevrolet Silverado on the highway / freeway. Thankfully I was able to exit highway / freeway to avoid a car collision due to loss of power. My truck was towed to a certified Chevy dealer. This is a known issue for 2019-2026 6.2L V8 L87 engines. The truck was previously inspected by a certified Chevy dealer for prior L87 engine recall. It passed and they changed the oil type to 0w-40. Prior to this event, my truck was at the dealer for a low oil pressure issue / oil pan replacement. I picked it up from the dealer after the vehicle was repaired and drove it for about three days and then experienced the crankshaft bearing failure. No warning lamps illuminated prior to failure. My truck is currently at the dealer waiting for a new engine.
The vehicle has blown 3 motors in 3 years. I took felivery 3/17/23. The first engine blew at 8,000 miles on 10/27/24. The second one blew 8/29/25 The 3rd one blew 4/12/26 at 52,000 miles on the vehicle.
NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 Trail Boss Engine: 6.2L V8 VIN: [XXX] Selling Dealer: Harris Hankins Chevrolet, Bay Springs, Mississippi I purchased this 2022 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 Trail Boss from Harris Hankins Chevrolet in Bay Springs, Mississippi. The truck is equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine and has experienced repeated and serious engine failures. The vehicle is currently operating on its third engine. The original factory-installed engine suffered a major engine failure at approximately 27,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to a Chevrolet dealership, where the original engine was replaced. The second engine failed within approximately 30 miles of leaving the dealership following the first engine replacement. This failure resulted in the vehicle requiring another engine replacement. The truck is now operating with its third engine. I have periodically noticed abnormal valvetrain noise coming from this third engine. Considering that the first two engines experienced major failures, I am very concerned that this abnormal valvetrain noise may indicate another developing engine problem or potential engine failure. This 2022 Chevrolet Silverado has therefore experienced two major engine failures at very low mileage and is now on its third engine, which is periodically exhibiting abnormal valvetrain noise. I believe these repeated engine failures represent a serious vehicle safety concern. A sudden engine failure or loss of propulsion while traveling at highway speeds or in traffic could create a dangerous situation for the driver, passengers, and other motorists. I am requesting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) formally document my vehicle’s history and investigate these repeated failures involving the Chevrolet/GM 6.2L V8 engine. The dealership has the service records and repair documentation concerning the previous engine failures and engine replacements.

I did the 0w-40 oil swap and now my truck is having more issues than before the recall, doing a “oil consumption test”
Purchased vehicle in August of 2025 and there was an open recall for engine issues at that time. Took vehicle back to dealership in October or November for dealer to inspect. The vehicle passed the engine test and oil was changed to a heavier weight. From October/November 2025 I’ve been noting that there’s been a significant loss of engine oil prior to scheduled maintenance that requires anywhere between 4-5quart top off every three months or so. Feels like the vehicle is sluggish and has no “get-up”. Also, the Auto Emergency Brake light/system keeps malfunctioning. Even after it’s been replaced several times the light comes back on and you’re not able to control the forward collision gauge.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH on Interstate 10, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over; however, the vehicle failed to restart. A battery warning message and a no-start message were displayed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine was locked due to bearing failure. The engine was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via phone call and written letter, and the contact was provided with service points. The failure mileage was approximately 53,874.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
