2022 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that after the vehicle had started, the vehicle failed to exceed 5 MPH while driving. The contact stated that there was a knocking sound coming from the vehicle and the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the residence. No warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was contacted, and the vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed with failures of the lifters and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the replacement engine was not available. The dealer offered a buyback through the regional manager, but no action had been taken. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,047.

My truck was put in the shop for loss of power. after 28 days the dealer had diagnosed and repaired the truck. They had to replace all of the valve train lifters along with 1 broken push rod. I was driving home at about 35 - 40 mph when my truck began to shutter and the steering felt like I was going over a washboard road. I was only less than a mile from my home when this started and was able to limp home and had the truck towed to the dealership. After I receive my truck back I opened a claim with GM. Claim # 9-14306272503 on 12/20/2024. I have not received any feedback from GM or the Dealer.

Driving on busy state highway at 55MPH the engine began loosing power and making loud squealing and metallic knocking noises. Fortunately there was a gas station 1/4 mile away and I was able to coast with the engine running and safely exit traffic. This engine is a newly remanufactured unit with only 7000 miles on it replaced under warranty. The previous engine completely seized in a similar traffic situation. It has now been towed to a dealer and diagnosed as crankshaft or bearing failure. There was no warnings or indications of impending engine failure. A less experienced driver may have continued on driving unaware the engine is about to seize completely leaving the vehicle without power steering and brakes which may result in loss of control and panic.

Driving in traffic on two lane, busy state highway at 55MPH the engine stalled without warning. I started pulling over to the shoulder of the road while trying to process what happened. To restart the engine required me to place the automatic transmission in neutral and press the keyless stop/start button. Someone driving the vehicle besides myself may panic and place the gear selector in the wrong position thereby causing an accident at highway speeds. Had this happened in a busy intersection it may caused a collision. Luckily the engine restarted and was able to proceed without incident.

Engine seized up without warning while driving 55MPH on busy, curvy, two lane road. Coasted to a stop around a blind curve and stuck on narrow shoulder to pull over on. Date of occurrence was 9/3/24.

Sounded like a bearing let loose. Only 22K miles on the vehicle. Engine started making loud metal on metal noises(even once parked) and loss of power. Towed back to dealership and waiting for further feedback.

Our check engine light came on 12/17/24 for a oil pressure sensor issue. We promptly brought the truck to the shop where they changed out the sensor, completed an oil change and manually checked the oil pressure. They advised us that the truck was good to drive and there was no indications of any further issues on 12/20/24. 3 hours into our drive on 12/21/24 our engine sized going 80MPH with no warning at 64,000 miles. We got the truck towed to the closest GM dealer where they let us know that the engine had seized. We still have yet to get a clear answer as to what caused the engine to seize other than that it is a "known issue". There were mentions of the lifters as well as storage issues by GM (i.e. their engines were stored in sheds where they may have gotten wet prior to install). GM offered a good will warranty at 60% coverage. They have ordered that engine but no timeline has been given (other than "months" followed by a laugh) because they are on a nationwide backorder. They also have yet to give us any documentation of what occurred and what is being offered by GM even though it has been requested 5 different times. Seems that if you're having a big enough problem to be on a backorder on the engine that this should be pushed to recall and we should be receiving 100% coverage.

My engine had to be fully replaced @ 28k miles due a crankshaft bearing failing and sending metal shards through my engine. Stranded me on the side of the highway for three hours. Was able to get to the shoulder before it seized up.Also my entire wiring harness and ECU had to be replaced shortly after the engine.

Two separate but related incidents: 1. Sudden complete loss of power on a busy highway interchange. I had to pull over in an unsafe merge point. The truck would not start and had to be towed to a dealership. The tow driver was eventually able to start the truck and load it on a flatbed. The dealership had the vehicle for 3-4 days and replaced the starter and a fuse. 2. Second incident happened approximately 24 hours after getting truck back from the first incident. Sudden loss of power coming up a large hill. Truck completely died and would not start again. Tow truck driver could not get the truck started and therefore could not get the truck in neutral. Tow truck driver had to drag the truck on to a flatbed and tow to a dealership. Dealership reported metal in the oil filter and requires complete engine replacement. The incident happened on December 16th, 2024.

Engine failure. I was traveling back from vacation towing my trailer when without warning the engine seized up. No engine lights or high temperature until that moment. Fortunately we were traveling with another couple behind. Traveling at highway speed we pulled over on the shoulder. Friends pulled us off of the highway to a safe location to be towed when possible. Very concerning having to deal with that situation with family and friends on the highway!
