    as i was driving down the highway the engine warning light came on and engine quit running immediately so i began to pull off of the road but couldn't get all the way off so it was sticking out on the highway i did put in park and checked oil level which was good, so i was going to try to push vehicle off the road more because there was semi-trucks and other vehicles going by at a high rate of speed but the shifter would not shift unless vehicle was running. so for the safety of my wife and myself we had to stand off into the ditch for about an hour waiting for help hoping no one slammed into our vehicle and there was some close calls. after getting the truck back to my home i then trailered it to a repair shop called Eagle Chevrolet in Chadron Nebraska where i was told the bearing in the engine had spun and it is very common on the engine in my truck which is an 6.2 L87 ENGINE and there is recalls on the same engine but only for the year 2022 and up and mine is a 2019 and was given a quote for Repair which is over $10,000.00

    I have a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado LT 1500 with only 19K Miles. When I brought this vehicle I was having problems with hearing a loud clunking noise coming from the rear of the Vehicle. Every Time I Stop at a red light, stop at a stop sign, yield at a yield sign, and slow down to turn in my driveway I can hear this clunking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. If someone is riding in the backseat of the vehicle, they can feel the clunking noise every time I hit the brakes or slow down. After doing some research I honestly believe it’s the drive shaft that is on my vehicle that is causing this issue. Also, my vehicle does a hesitation when trying to accelerate on the gas pedal, which the drive shaft can cause this issue as well. There is a recall against this issue (Drive Shaft) but my Vin Number doesn’t call for a recall, I believe my vin number was missed in this recall. This is very dangerous because my Drive Shaft can drop beneath my vehicle while driving on the roads or highways and can cause my Truck to loose control and get into a serious accident or fatal accident. All I want is to have the Chevrolet Dealership to repair my Drive Shaft for free, because Chevrolet states that they will fixed all the drive shaft that is on recall on there time and the customer doesn’t have to pay anything. Please follow up on this serious matter. I don’t feel safe driving my truck anymore, so I keep it parked in my garage. PS : I took my truck in several times to three Chevrolet Dealership when I had full warranty’s and each Dealership told me that my truck is fine, I just have to drive it because it’s still new and this is not a problem at all.

    The oil cooler lines cracked due to cold weather and oil spouted out of the engine. Truck was immediately pulled over when the chime went off, however the engine still seized up and needs to be replaced. No warning lights before, just the chime at 0 oil pressure. I see that Canada and Alaska has this part recalled and I want to know why it’s not recalled everywhere. No oil was leaking prior to this incident. This left us stranded on the side of the highway and we now have to purchase a new engine with only 65,000 miles on it.

    "Approximately four months ago, I noticed an oil leak coming from the midsection of the engine/transmission of my 2019 Chevy Silverado LTZ with the 6.2-liter engine. At the same time, I noticed a slight knocking or rattling noise coming from, I believe, the front of the engine. Upon taking it to the dealership, they replaced the engine oil coolant lines, only to find out that the engine was still leaking oil and still making the knocking and rattling noise. They then discovering that it was the rear main seal, they have since replaced it about one week ago. Yesterday, February 6th, about 12:15 pm in the afternoon, while I was getting off the I-405 in Renton Washington and merging onto the southbound lanes of 167. I was in the left lane and I made it about a quarter mile down 167 doing about 60 to 65 miles per hour and I lost power suddenly. As I started to merge into the right lane, I noticed the engine light came on, and then the truck seemed to kick down into first gear while I was doing 50 miles per hour, which instantly slowed it down. This forced me to cross over an on-ramp lane to get to the shoulder and come to a complete stop. After that, the truck would not start at all. I then had to sit on the side of the road for three and a half hours waiting for a tow truck to take me and my truck back to the dealership, which is also the same dealership where I bought the truck back in 2019. They have not diagnosed it yet as I just dropped it off at 4 pm on 2/5/2026. My truck has approximately 155,000 miles on it.
