CHEVROLET Complaints

We recently had a brand new engine installed In our truck that only had 70k miles and only 7 years old due to white smoke coming out of tail pipe. The day after receiving the truck back after having the brand new engine installed the truck was not operating properly then gave me a bunch of warnings and then the brakes wouldn’t work and the steering wouldn’t work. I informed the dealership that installed the brand new engine and they had the truck towed back to their shop just to look at it for 3 days and proceed to tell me there was no issues they could find. Picked the truck back up just to have the same issue happen not even a month later. I was able to document the warnings and issues while they were happening and provided those to the dealership when we drop it off for the second time after getting a brand new $13k engine installed. If you would like the video I captured of the warnings I will happily send them.

When driving at a slow speed truck seemed to die down and not want to shift to next gears. Truck appeared to shake when pressing on the gas lightly.

After having the proper recall performed. The engine locked up while driving on interstate. Total loss of power in heavy traffic nearly causing an accident.

Truck started violently shaking while driving 70 mph on highway. Check engine light, service electric parking brake warning light, TCS/ESC warning light, started flashing on tachometer. Check engine light remained on when truck was restarted later. Chevy dealer service department reproduced problem and found broken bits of metal in the oil filter. Engine is shot. Likely caused by truck's Dynamic Fuel Management system. Dealer advises only option is to replace engine. Truck was up to date on all service maintenance.

Driving 55mph on highway with cars behind me and vehicle stalls. Almost rear ended. Fuel pump control module failed.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Trax. The contact received a notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V539000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

While driving, suddenly began hearing loud knocking noise and lost most power. Was able to get vehicle off road, where it stopped, and had trouble starting again. Towed to dealer. Diagnosed issue as spun rod bearing.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving on the highway, a "Low Oil Pressure" warning message displayed, and the engine RPMs and vehicle speed reduced. The contact drove the vehicle off the road and into a parking lot. Upon exiting the vehicle, the contact noticed oil leaking from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic, who confirmed the engine failure. The independent mechanic replaced the engine, which remedied the failure. The contact stated that the manufacturer had issued extended warranty coverage for the failure for vehicles in Alaska and Canada. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 111,940.

A couple weeks ago, the truck suddenly started running rough and the front collision avoidance system failure message displayed. Immediately took it to the dealership. Computer read out showed #7 fuel injector failed. Repaired and was fine. Yesterday, 8/27/26, same thing happened again. Immediately went to the dealership. Now #4 fuel injector failed. Service manager just called and states that Chevrolet does not have that injector and on backorder with no date of expected delivery. No other Chevy dealer has #4 fuel injectors either. Tells me that there is an overwhelming demand for fuel injectors that indicates a defect. Meanwhile, the truck is out of service and GM is not addressing the issue to replace all the defective injectors.

I was driving in town at normal speed getting on entrance ramp to XXX in [XXX]. As I made my turn the car engine stopped working. I pulled over to the side of the ramp. The car would not start. I called a tow truck and had it taken to my mechanic. He diagnosed it as a failed fuel pump module. He also said that this car had been recalled in 2023 and the fuel pump module replaced.
