2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Problems

Vehicle has been maintained at GM authorized dealership according to manufacturer recommendations. 6.2L recall was performed as recommended by manufacturer at approximately 25k miles. Engine failed at 36000 miles. The failure created a safety situation where vehicle suddenly lost propulsion power on the interstate. GM replaced the engine with a remanufactured engine. Vehicle was out of service for approximately 90 days. My family has lost confidence in the vehicle and unfortunately because of the now known issues with this engine the vehicle has lost significant value, making it nearly impossible to trade the vehicle in for something reliable.

At around 1,500 miles the truck reduced power. I was able to drive it to the dealership. The dealership reported the lifters had failed and it would be 5-6 months to repair because of the parts shortage.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the contact entered a parking lot and shifted the vehicle into park and the message “Shift to Park” was displayed. Additionally, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. Due to the failure, the contact was unable to start the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

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.

The hood molding flew off my vehicle as I was traveling down the interstate. I did not hit anything, it just randomly flew off of my vehicle. The piece flew off and just barely missed the vehcile behind me. If that would of hit the other vehicle, it would of caused damage to their vehicle, and potentially could of caused an accident. The piece that fell off was the trim piece that is diretly below the hood latch and above the front grille. There was no incidcators that this was going to happen. I see there was a recall on the same model and year vehicle as mine but for chrome grilles. The recall # is 25V-060.

I request that GM and NHTSA investigate whether recall N242490120 / NHTSA recall 25V060 was properly performed and effective, determine why the deflector detached, and assess whether improper installation, defective parts, inadequate fastening, impact, road debris, or another cause was responsible. Evidence and Records Requested Please review or provide: • Complete recall-repair records, including repair orders, technician notes, procedures, parts and fastening specifications, photographs, repair date and mileage, personnel identities, and attachment-point inspections. • An explanation for the discrepancy between the April 18, 2025 myGMC date and April 28, 2025 GM VIN-lookup date. • Dealership inspection findings, photographs, measurements, and conclusions. • GM repair instructions, technical guidance, recall-validation records, and engineering analyses. • A written determination of the probable cause and whether this was a remedy failure, improper installation, defective part, unrelated damage, or unresolved cause. • Criteria for determining whether the grille must be replaced or repaired. • Warranty, goodwill, claim, technical-assistance, and customer-service records. • Similar complaints, warranty claims, field reports, damage reports, and recurrence data. Corrective Actions Requested I request that GM identify the cause, determine whether the grille must be replaced, and assess whether the attachment can be repaired. If the incident resulted from the recall condition, repair, improper installation, defective parts, or failure of the remedy, I request no-cost repair or reimbursement, including grille replacement. If GM attributes the incident to unrelated damage or an external event, I request the supporting evidence and technical basis. I request that NHTSA determine whether additional oversight or corrective action is warranted to prevent recurrence and road-debris hazards.

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 did not stop when applying brakes. Message displayed brake system failure and the breaks were spongy. The truck was towed to the dealer and required the master cylinder, gasket, and reservoir to be replaced with 23,403 miles. This appears to be an ongoing issue with GMC Sierra trucks and needs further investigation as this potential could be catastrophic. Also, as this appears to be an ongoing issue, owners should not be responsible for the cost associated with any repairs and should require an immediate recall.

I am filing this complaint regarding a potentially serious safety defect involving my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali four-wheel-drive with the V8 5.3 engine. The vehicle had approximately 28,786 miles at the time of the incident. While traveling on an interstate highway in heavy traffic, my truck suddenly lost engine power. I was extremely fortunate that I was able to maneuver through traffic and get the vehicle onto the shoulder without being struck by another vehicle. A sudden loss of engine power under these conditions could easily have resulted in a serious or fatal collision. Immediately follow the incident Onstar detected diagnostic trouble code P129F The vehicle was subsequently taken to an authorized GM dealership. The dealership diagnosed the problem and replaced the fuel pump power control module to repair the vehicle. I have since learned that General Motors issued service bulletin 24 –NA-139 concerning this condition. The bulletin specifically includes 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles and identifies loss of power stalling and DTC P129F among the possible symptoms. GM states the condition may be caused by an internal short in the K111 fuel pump driver control module/fuel pump, power control module. I am particularly concerned that GM has been aware of this potential failure condition since at least 2024. A failure capable of causing a vehicle to suddenly lose engine power while traveling at Internet speeds presents amsafety hazard not only to the occupants of the affected vehicle but also to surrounding motorist. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this issue including other owner complaints involving error code P129F, fuel pump power control, module failures, stalling, or sudden loss of power in affected GMC Sierra and related to GMC vehicles and determine whether a safety defect investigation or recall is warranted. Vehicle: 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali four-wheel-drive Engine: 5.3 L V8

The contact's son owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. While the contact's son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and the engine seized.

The contact was informed that the fuel pump drive module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted by phone, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 31,298.

Engine failed at high speeds on interstate. When my Truck shut off the steering and braking system went out and getting to shoulder of interstate was difficult with others around me. Express lanes were limited on emergency shoulder therefore my truck was partially on the high speed driving lane. 911 was called out to block freeway lane. Check engine light blinked right when truck shut down.

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

Following engine replacement per NHTSA for 6.2l GMC engine. I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali (refresh body style). The vehicle has experienced repeated failures of driver-assist features and safety system warnings, including: Dash messages: “Lane Keeping Assist System Unavailable” and “Service Safety Restraint System.” When the fault occurs, driver-assist features including Adaptive Cruise Control become inoperative. The issue has recurred multiple times, including after repairs. After one event, the truck sat parked approximately 10 days and the battery discharged to failure and required replacement. A dealership visit documented DTC U3000 (“Internal Electronic Failure”) in the front view camera module. The dealer replaced/programmed/calibrated the front camera on 02/09/2026 at approximately 58,405 miles (invoice/RO #285795). The symptoms have recurred despite prior resets and this repair. I am concerned about loss of driver-assist functions while driving and the presence of a safety restraint system warning. Please investigate whether there is a defect related to the front camera/driver-assist systems and/or electrical module behavior that can cause repeat faults and battery drain on this model.

The windshield defroster and heater blower speed reduces and/or shuts off shortly after accelerating to highway range speeds. Blowing snow from Alaska roads will melt and refreeze on the windshield reducing visibility creating a safety hazard. The truck has not been successfully repaired after multiple and lengthy attempts. The heated steering wheel also malfunctions intermittently. The blower motor does seem to come back up to speed when vehicle speed is reduced to city speeds but is intermittent also.
