After numerous attempts getting GM to finally look at why my vehicle because after the L87 engine swap, which failed after the Pico test and oil, oil filter, and oil cap change my truck has been dangerous to drive. It falls on its face when taking off or driving. It acts as if something is holding the truck back. It takes more throttle to get it moving. Then in traffic while moving it randomly lunges forward very quickly as if I have the gas pedal to the floor. I came very close to rear ending a Deer Park police vehicle. They told me to get my own alternate transportation and they would then look at it. I had to go out and get a rental car. I had no choice. I explained due to my HIGH medical bills following a cancer diagnosis, I could not afford a rental and my appointments. They basically told me come see them when i can make my arrangements. So, i rented a car, took the truck in, four days later i was told that the problem was my ADAS camera. I told them it worked fine before yall had it 3 months waiting on an engine. They told me I would have to pay around 1000 dollars to have my truck repaired. Even though it was clearly something they did. I made arrangements to pay them. I picked up my truck. That evening I was happy. Well, the next morning while going to get coffee the problem returned. I took it back to the dealer. I was again told, go get another rental and leave it here. I have done that. Well, that week went by. I had to borrow money to get the rental for another week. So, i could make it to my cardiologist today. I have to get cardiac clearance before i begin surgery Oct. 1st. Between now and then, i have an appt with pain mgmt., A PET scan, and an Echo/Doppler for cardiac clearance. Surgery begins Oct. 1st. This has been making it very difficult to manage appts. with Gastrointerology, Cardiology, Oncology, Infusion services, Pain mgmt., Therapy with a Psychiatrist, My new Esophogealist (for surgery). And follow-ups and blood tests. This is ongoing.

My 2022 GMC Sierra started hesitating two weeks ago between the speeds of 17-35 mph. It also hesitates going downhill. When I try to accelerate it hesitates causing a serious safety issue for me driving. I cant trust to move when I need to move across a busy intersection with semi tractor trailers coming at me. I can trust it to tow or haul anything anymore. This is well known and documented problem General Motors has and the company deems it "Normal Operations" which is totally not normal.

My truck has the same issues for the transmission and engine problems I have taken it to 4 dealerships and they all say the same thing. The first one I spent about 3 hours there and they changed the 20 oil to the 40 oil and said that will fix the issues but it hasn't i called GMC to report this and they sent me to the others but they said it's been looked at and I know one of them didn't do anything to see the issue.Gmc called the other day and I told them I will let the engine locked up or the transmission keep doing the same thing and they'll have to fix the issue then.I do have 109000 miles on it but thus issue has been going on for 4 years they said I have 150000 miles for the issue but I do t think that is right.I paid them cash money for the truck when I bought it

Truck died while driving on a major highway due to a faulty fuel pump module. The vehicle was blocking an intersection. The vehicle could not be put into neutral without the engine running because of the electronic transmission. Could not move the vehicle out of the intersection and out of traffic. I found out later that to put the truck in neutral requires a special tool, and going under the truck to engage the bypass, which is very difficult and unsafe on a major roadway.

Incident

Nov 11, 2024

While driving my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 (VIN: [XXX]) in active traffic, the 10-speed automatic transmission suffered a sudden and catastrophic internal failure. Without warning, the vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic and forced itself into a hazardous "limp mode," severely restricting my speed and acceleration. This created an immediate, high-risk safety emergency, leaving my passengers and me vulnerable to a rear-end collision before we could navigate out of the live roadway. The vehicle was towed to an independent facility (Kenny's Transmission, Repair Order #XXX) at 65,579 miles. Diagnostic troubleshooting confirmed a "Number 6 Solenoid Code" and "Internal Transmission Mechanical Failure" (3-4 races away, total loss of reverse gear), requiring a complete replacement of the transmission assembly utilizing an official GM service part at a personal cost of $6,673.10. General Motors has previously acknowledged 10-speed transmission control valve defects and wheel-lockup hazards by issuing safety recalls for diesel variants, but gas-powered models like my 6.2L L87 engine are experiencing identical, highly dangerous sudden losses of motive power without federal recall protection. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this systemic failure rate on 2022 gas models before it causes a major collision.

My truck is at the dealership for a failed transmission valve body. I was doing some research on this issue and saw recall N242454441. I asked the service writer about this and he said my truck was not covered by the recall. I had all of the same issues as described in the recall. effects can cause harsh shifting, setting a service engine soon message, reduced engine performance or P0747 diagnostic trouble code. I was driving along when the check engine light came on then a message on the dash said reduced power mode. I barely made it to work then called the dealership and told them I was bringing it in if I could make it. When I tried to take it to the dealership the rear wheels seemed to be locked up when in drive but would move in reverse. After coasting forward in neutral then reversing the wheels seemed to unlock in drive but then I didn’t have reverse. I have the same drive train with the 10 speed transmission. I think this recall needs to be expanded to include my truck as well as countless others for this known issue.

On November 20, 2025, my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 equipped with the 3.0L Duramax diesel engine began experiencing intermittent engine overheating conditions. Concerned about a potential safety issue, I contacted a GMC dealership and was advised that because no diagnostic trouble codes were present, there was nothing to diagnose or repair and that I should continue driving the vehicle. Over the following months, the overheating condition continued intermittently. On May 24, 2026, while driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly overheated, displayed fault code P1098, and entered reduced power ("limp mode"). The vehicle lost normal performance and acceleration while traveling in traffic. This created a significant safety hazard because the vehicle was unable to maintain normal highway speeds, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision or other traffic accident. The loss of power occurred while driving and without sufficient warning, leaving the vehicle unable to safely perform as expected in highway traffic. After researching this issue, I found numerous reports from other GMC and Chevrolet owners describing similar overheating, coolant control valve, thermal management system, and P1098-related failures. Many owners report symptoms involving engine overheating, reduced engine power, and limp mode operation while driving. I am concerned that this may indicate a broader defect involving the vehicle's cooling system and thermal management components. The vehicle exhibited overheating symptoms for approximately six months before the final failure occurred. Additionally, I understand that certain GM vehicles have been subject to service actions involving coolant control valves and thermal management system components. Given the similarity of symptoms, I am concerned that the overheating condition reported in November 2025 may be related to the same type of failure mechanism, yet my vehicle has not been included in any recall or special coverage program.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated upon shifting to park(P) and attempting to turn off the vehicle, the message "Shift to Park" was displayed. The contact waited and attempted to park and turn off the vehicle again, and the vehicle responded after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the shifter assembly needed to be replaced due to internal short to the solenoid not allowing the vehicle to detect that it was in park(P). The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint filed. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

The transmission on the vehicle failed, it is currently sitting at a GMC dealership awaiting repair. However the valve body is on back order and there is no time table for repair to occur. My family and my safety was put at risk not knowing that the 10 speed transmission could result in rear tire lockup while on the highway, also the inability to put the truck in reverse to back away from any potential hazard. The problem was confirmed by GMC of Attleboro Mass. The vehicle was inspected by technicians at said dealership. There were no prior warnings, however the truck did feel hesitant to shift on the highway a week or two prior to failure.

This is separate for VIN [XXX] I had to change dealerships because Beck & Masten South / GMC would NOT provide me with a loaner after being told I was on the list and I was next in line. I waited a month and drove to them and spoke with the girl who oversaw loaners. I explained I had severe safety issues such as front-end wobble which is related to transmission issues. And the oil consumption issue and oil light. Once again, I was re-assured the loaner program was indeed still active and I would be put on priority. Again to no avail I had wasted too much time with Beck & Masten. After months of this I found out I did not have to take it to the dealer I bought it from. So, I took it to Monument Chevrolet. I explained my concerns related to the front-end wobble which was very intermittent. And the oil consumption issue which I was very concerned with due to the year model and mileage of the truck. Also, the 75,000.00 price tag was really has me extremely upset... Monument Chevrolet treated me well. I had actually brought it in and called about the steering which was greatly affected by the severe front end wobble more than one time. I was told at first the oil consumption was pretty normal. Until I told them how much I had to add between changes. I have attached two work orders to this complaint. These work orders show what was done at 18017 miles and 18323 miles. The later work order was when the PICO test was done. Also, an oil consumption test was started once I picked the truck up. After I had driven it for 2077 miles and was bringing the vehicle back to Monument Chevrolet, as instructed for the oil consumption results, when a loud squeeling, then hard knock, power loss and I pulled over. I called Monument and was instructed if I could get it to start and bring it. I drove it to them while knocking and rough running. It has been in the shop for over 2 months for an engine replacement. 2077 miles after recall work! REFER TO: COMPLAINT XXX INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOI
