2022 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I started to hear a light tick/knocking sound during my daily 68 mile commute to work, 3/1/2024. When I would accelerate, the ticking would get louder. I noticed a bit of shaking at the same time of acceleration. I took it into the dealership on 3/2/2024 where they discovered metal shavings in my oil filter. They told me I needed an entire new engine at 51,000 miles. They replaced the engine under my existing power train warranty (which was valid until vehicle got to 60,000miles). I got my truck back on 4/19/2024, and was told I would NOT be given any additional warranty or guarantee for the engine and labor associated with the replacement. I asked if there was any additional warranty that would be given, and they said no. I have a high mile commute, and in this instance, my Power Train warranty was up just a few months after the replacement. My service advisor said if I had paid out of pocket, they would offer a 100,000 mile warranty. But since it was a warranty replacement, that I would only have the balance of whatever remained on my powertrain warranty. My concern is that this may happen again. I want to report my issue to be sure that every replacement is fully investigated and GM is held accountable. This is the first new vehicle I've purchased, the 5th vehicle I have owned in my lifetime and I have never needed a new engine. This is a fully loaded top of the line truck. It has every added feature.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check oil pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not officially diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The dealer confirmed that the vehicle was consuming excessive amounts of engine oil. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer every 1,000 miles for the oil level to be checked. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

noticed my engine sounded different, its a 2022 and i owned it for 1.5 years, i was taking it to the dealer for a oil change anyways, when i was there i asked them to through ears on it, they called me a hour later trying to explain it was due to the cold air (15-20 degrees) and the 6.2l uses 93 gas. i asked them why it didnt sound like that last winter and then the senior take wanted to keep it for a few days to go over it more, 5 days later i stop in there because im not getting a answer to be told i need a new motor because my bearing are shot at only 16k miles. the chevy dealer also gave me the option to trade it in to try to "help" but then wanted to offer me 10K less then what i paid for it. i told them to just do the repair, however im told the wait in best case scenario is 6 months but can take as long as 12 months..... im pretty disgruntled about this entire situation. my trucks a 2022 silverado LT trail boss,and they supplied not even a equal truck. i was given a 2024 silverado custom which has alot less features. meanwhile im stuck paying my auto loan for my truck that i cant drive, so its sitting in the back of a chevy dealers parking lot losing value.

On 12.27.24, the vehicle lost motive power while traveling through a busy and dangerous intersection and coasted to a stop. It was towed to a GM Dealership where it was determined that the engine had seized as it wouldn't crank. The serpentine belt was also noted to be atypically damaged as if it wasn't riding evenly / correctly on the pulleys. The vehicle may be available for inspection but as of this date, repairs have been authorized... so availability may change. The dealer will likely retain the failed engine. The sudden loss of motive power is always potentially dangerous. In my situation, I could have been unable to move out of a busy intersection and been subject to cross-traffic collision. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer but has not been further inspected by anyone other than the dealer. No warning indicators occurred that led me to believe their was an impending issue with the powertrain / engine.

August 24, 2024 I was driving my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 6.2 L V8 engine with 47,258 miles. I was traveling at approximate 65 mph. My engine siezed up and I had to pull my vehicle off of the two lane road I was traveling. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. Approximately a month after the vehicle engine seized because I did not have the funds to cover the repairs at the time of engine failure. Once the vehicle engine was diagnosed at the dealership I was advised that the repairs were under warranty. The repairs took appoximately one month due to waiting on new engine to be provided by the manufacture. My vehicle was returned repaired on 10/31/2024 with the same type of engine. I was advised that engine warranty would not be extended on the new engine. That this engine was only warranted under the old engine mileage and age.

I was driving down the highway at 60 MPH and a display warning came on the display monitor. It said shift into neutral and restart engine. Then the engine died and I had to try and get off the highway. There was a complete lose of power so getting off the highway was difficult without any power including steering. The engine would not restart and when to tow truck came about 2 hours later it still would not start or shift into neutral to be loaded. Eventually the tow driver got it to shift into neutral so he could loaded the truck. My safety was at risk because it was difficult to get off the road and had there been more traffic it could of resulted in a collision. I was in a dead area for phone service and I had to sit there for about 2 hours waiting for someone to stop and help me get to an area with cell service. The pickup was dropped off at the nearest GM dealership and they looked at it and the engine had a catastrophic failure. It requires a new engine, but since it is under warranty it may take up to 1 years for a replacement.

- Engine seizure: Reason Undisclosed to me - Vehicle was traveling at highway speeds, lost power steering - Dealership disclosed that it was due to an engine seizure - UNKNOWN - Only 1 indicator came on the instrument cluster and occurred after the failure. The indicator stated “Shifting conditions not met” I had lost power from the vehicle and vehicle shifted into neutral by itself. The vehicle was within normal temperatures before the incident and maintenance was up-kept.

My truck is equipped with the chevrolet 6.2 engine. I was driving on interstate when I got a reading on the dash that the engine was shutting down due to the engine oil overheating. I did get to the berm safely without being hit by another car. Normally wouldn't think that the engine blowing up would be safety related but it happened in traffic.

My tailgate opens and closes on it's own. There is already a recall but not on my VIN for some reason.

While attempting to merge onto the freeway from the "on ramp," the acceleration began to dissipate. I noticed the truck had shifted itself into neutral. I then had to put my emergency lights on and coast as long as I could. There was not a check engine light. The vehicle also would not restart. It was then towed to a Chevrolet dealership and the recommendation was to replace the engine. They had notified me that this was a common issue with this engine and they see this all the time. There were four trucks ahead of me at this dealership alone. The story was the same and neighboring dealerships. At the time, they were not able to estimate the time for repair to be complete. This was a safety risk since there were cars behind me and the vehicle lost power. This could have resulted in an accident and caused injury to myself or others. There is also risk being stranded on the shoulder of a major freeway awaiting a tow truck.
