2022 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

I was driving home from work one day my truck started. Losing power I could press the gas to make the truck drive it started slowing down

Intermittent failure of audio and safety alerts (Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning) Dealership’s response: “No fix” despite warranty. Safety impact: Increased collision risk.

This truck is burning oil faster than it takes us to do an oil change we have to check it once a week to make sure it had oil in it. I have seen online I am not the only one having this issue this year make and model. I want to report this problem.

Engine locked up without warning while traveling 65 MPH heading [XXX] on [XXX] outside of East Dubuque, IL. I had now power and many lights on the dash lit up simultaneously. Luckily I was able to coast to a stop and get my vehicle mostly off the highway. I had to walk almost 3 miles in the snow and dark to get to town. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving down the highway at 75 MPH; and noticed my traction control light come on. No sooner than the thought processed about the light my whole dash lit up and indicated engine light, Traction control system, and steering was difficult. I pulled over immediately and turned the vehicle off. I got out checked all the fluids “all were full and good” no leaks, cracks, nothing obvious I could see. I got back in and started the engine for a moment and heard a slight knocking on the passenger side of engine and felt a little vibration not present before. After getting it towed and not wanting to risk further damage I got the vehicle to a GMC dealer who then diagnosed that I had a failed lifter on my vehicle. This caused bent rods, leading to internal engine damage and I needed a completely new engine. The odometer reading was 68,231. I have not even had a headlight go out in this vehicle yet. All of my oil change records were up to date. It was past my warranty with GMC so they would not pay for it and wanted me to pay 10,700$ out of pocket. My insurance ended up paying for it. When I inspected the engine myself with a GM mechanic he told me that they have been having ALOT of issues with these lifters being stuck causing catastrophic engine damage. Obviously the 6.2 liter is noticed but my vehicle is a 5.3 liter V8. They believe it is caused by the AFM fuel saving feature where it goes down to 4 cylinders on highway speeds to save gas. This was a nightmare and I was without a vehicle for ALMOST a month to the day… exactly 29 days

We didn't know that the truck was having a low pressure oil problem, never showed a warning or check engine light, the truck stop all off the sudden without warning, and the engine was seized in the middle of a road,thank God we weren't driving in the highway .

I am unsure except for what they told me the engine completely seized up I was heading back from Grand Junction Colorado over Vail Pass nothing appeared wrong with the engine it was going fine and then completely powered itself down and stopped at the top of the pass would not come back on cost me 1100 to tow it down from a mountain getting no assistance from GMC other than they tell me one thing the dealer tells me another this is not the first time I've had problems with this it was in the shop from December through February no reimbursements no nothing nothing but problems since I bought it no help I've tried to do my best but my husband passed away at the time of all this was going on I could really use some guidance and some answers and what I should do they're telling me 8 to 10 weeks and they're not promising any kind of new warranty with this engine take what I have or buy an extended one from them that just doesn't right

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware of an abnormal roaring sound coming from under the hood. The contact stated that the abnormal roaring sound was persistent and became louder over time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

While driving on a two lane highway at approximately 60 MPH the powersteering on my truck failed with warning lights on the dash. I limped it to a town where I could get it scanned and they could not figure out the issue. The issue was intermittent for a few days until it was non-stop. It took over a month to get the reconfigured part from GM to complete the repair, GM had to reconfigure the part to fix the issue I was having. A faulty powersteering control module was the probelm and it required replacement of the entire steering rack and alignment. GM is aware of this issue clearly due to their choice to rework the affected part, but not issuing a recall in light of the issue to take full repsonsibility/reimburse customers that have suffered monetary damage due to their failure to propperly engeineer parts.

The check engine light came on and the fan ran at full speed. The engine light is for a faulty coolant control valve which I've been told is a known issue and is on national backorder.
