CHEVROLET Complaints

The car continues to die when I come to a stop. The error code for the engine light is P305F. I have changed both batteries along with several different sensors and spent thousands of dollars in repairs at a couple different shops and still can’t find the problem with this error code. I have fixed everything that this error code points to. The car will not pass inspection with the check engine code on. This should have been recalled as this is a very common problem.

My transmission just randomly went out. I had my car evaluated in December of 2025 and nothing was reported on the transmission at all and as Jan 2026 my transmission went out.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V053000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

The contact had not experienced a failure.

General Motors sent me a letter regarding a safety recall regarding my 6.2L V8 gas engine (ROP L87). Safety recall N252494000. I learned that my truck has the potential to have a complete engine failure. I took my truck to the dealership and all they did was an inspection and changed the oil on it. I'm not a mechanic, but total engine failure is concerning to say the least. I doubt simple change in oil thickness remedies serious recall. I learned there is an open lawsuit regarding this issue. I need Chevy to take this matter more serious, Im driving my family around in a ticking time bomb. I demand more than a band-aid. I want Chevy to replace my engine with a new reliable one.

My Tahoe died on a busy bridge in Moore OK during rush hour traffic. Got a ticket for impending traffic. Had to get car towed. Tahoe is still in shop. I have a rental….GM trax. My car is in the shop indefinitely. I’m requesting a rental car of equal value to what my Tahoe was. Please make contact with the appropriate Hertz company as we will have bad weather in 2 days.

Jan 2024 lifters on one side went out. Towed to dealer and had repaired. 9 months later lifters went out again. Had private shop repair it. Less than 3 months later, motor went out. Paid out of pocket to have new motor shipped and repair shop fixed it. A few months later, GM put out the safety recall for 6.2L engine failure.

Vehicle was brought to Payne Chevrolet(Weslaco,Tx)for Recall N242454440. After the software update, the vehicle entered 'Limp Mode' and threw a Permanent Fault Code P2817 (Solenoid 8 Stuck Off). The dealership and GM Executive Resolution (Case #86918646) have confirmed this is a mechanical failure of the valve body, but are refusing/delaying the remedy due to a branded title. The vehicle is currently grounded and unsafe to drive as it risks rear-wheel lockup. GM has failed to provide a timely remedy or alternative safe transportation.
