    Engine malfunction, had dealer look at truck and they said I needed a new engine, check engine light came on and a knocking noise appeared suddenly. Reading about 2021+ sierra with 6.2 engine that has a recall with the same problem as mine. Wondering why that recall wasn’t extended to my truck as well.

    Engine oil cooler lines leaking from crimp joints. "Oil Pressure Low Turn Vehicle Off" display showed on dashboard. Oil is present all over the bottom of my truck as well as a trail along the road and the parking lot where I parked it. I have not brought it to the dealership yet. There has been a Customer Service Program notice about this issue, I got my truck after the issue was sent out so I did not get the letter or supposedly this truck is not part of it even thought it is the exact issue. Customer Service Program number N212326940.

    Complete engine failure. I was driving approximately 55 miles an hour, then all of a sudden the cruise control automatically shut off and a series of alarms are triggered. When pressing the accelerator pedal, the engine vibrated excessively in Cleary indicated catastrophic engine failure. I was lucky enough to make it to the nearby dealer who confirmed a complete engine failure. I ended up buying a new vehicle that day to avoid being stranded.

    Around June 2025 under normal driving my truck displayed engine oil low which I promptly checked the oil to find that it was in range. The light later went off but I still brought it to the dealership to which they could find no issues. From there over the next month or so the truck developed a low end popping sound on start up and at my next oil change at the dealership in August of 25 I asked them to listen to see if they heard it and could recommend a course of action. They reported not hearing anything. On October 19th I had my family in the truck with me and during normal acceleration the engine had a loud pop sound and lost power. Every warning light came on and I pulled over promptly when safe. I had it towed to the dealership and their initial diagnosis was a failure on cylinder 4 with a suspected failure of either the cam shaft or lifter. Given the poor design of the lifter I didn’t want to go back with the OEM lifter so I had it towed to an aftermarket shop. It is there now and they are in the process of tearing down the engine. After watching a video on YouTube I fear my truck is part of the connecting rod bearing failure under PE25-001. My understanding is there is an official investigation into the trucks outside the initial recall. I wanted to submit this for your review as the truck only had 74,000 miles. Freeman GMC in Grapevine, Tx has performed all the maintenance and should have documentation.
