2019 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

my engine went out with no lights or warnigns prior to engine going out. Now we still making payments for the truck,expensive truck and we haven't use it because we dont have the money to fix it.

Less then 47 000 miles on truck, Used for only city driving, no off road driving or rigorous travel. - engine malfunction and could have had catastrophic failure while traveling causing injury to myself or others. -Car is inoperable, dealer recommend not to drive it due to safety concerns. -I have metal shavings in the oil, misfires, and a P0011 code. These match the known GM lifter/camshaft failure pattern. Vehicle started skipping check engine light turned on for cam shaft interrupter magnet. GM has open recall for 2021-2025 engine However 2019 vehicle is still under investigation.

While driving my Sierra AT4, my engine shut off with no previous indication of a problem. The dash simply said to restart the vehicle. Unable to do so, I coasted the vehicle into a parking lot. Once it was diagnosed to be a defective engine, I replaced it with a new GM long block assembly paid out of pocket as the vehicle had 210,000 miles on it and was well out of warranty coverage. The first replacement engine lasted 15,000 miles before developing a spun bearing in the engine. GM did cover replacement of the engine assembly. The 2nd replacement engine was installed 12/2022 and lasted until 2/2025. Same engine seizure problem as the original due to the bearing failures that plague this engine series. Engines have always run 0-w20 Mobil1 synthetic as recommended by GM. Vehicle is currently waiting for GM to make a decision to cover it or not.

Informant system tells me that the engine oil is low every time right at about 1,000 miles after I change the oil. There have been times where the engine has hesitated to accelerate shortly after receiving the message. I've taken truck to be serviced with no oil leaks found. I purchased this truck with 21,000 miles on it, and it's been doing this ever since I've had it.

2019 GMC Sierra that was not on recall list for engine, had same exact issue as the recalled engines. We were driving, light came on and it wouldnt work properly. We immediately took it for diagnoses and it was same reason as the recalls, however our engine wasnt on the list. We just had to pay 14K cash for our truck engine and repair. We purchased 5/24 with 78K miles and it stopped at 94K miles. We didnt have the truck for 5 months because of the motor recalls were backed up. GMC refusing to reimburse us even tho there is still issues with that motor

While driving in my uncongested neighborhood, my brakes totally failed. Dash indicated multiple brake failure warnings. I managed to get my truck stopped and returned home by engaging my low range, four wheel drive. If I had been in on the open road, going down a hill, negotiating a curve, or in traffic a crash would have ocurred, potentially fatality. My vehicle was towed to a GMC dealership. They diagnosed the problem in the electronic braking module with a software update needed. My vehicle Is a 2019, but had only 23,283 miles at the time of the braking failure.

The starter started dragging about a year ago and on November 12 the 2019 GMC truck would not start. We had it towed to Harper GMC in Minden, La. They told us the motor was locked up. This vehicle has a little over 40,000 miles on it. Has always been parked in a carport out of the weather and still looks brand new. I see where 2021 GMC trucks have a recall on the motor and this is the same problem with our 2019.

The contact owns a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 25 MPH and making a turn, the vehicle lost motive power. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated after the failure. Upon investigation, the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with lifter failure and camshaft damage. The vehicle was repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case, and referred the contact to the local dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 86,960.

Truck cut out going across the road almost got hit due to the vehicle stalling then about a mile down the road the check engine light came on parked it took it to my mechanic and after the incident it was throwing a cylinder misfire code. Cylinder one when the mechanic got in there was completely shot and I had to have a new motor. No warning no lights could have potentially caused a major accident.

Engine problems (Oil, crankshaft, loss of propulsion) similar to that of recalls in 2021-2024 models.
