GMC Complaints

The contact owns a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH on the interstate, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of engine power and decelerated rapidly, nearly causing an accident. The contact managed to pull off the road, but the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact reported a prior history of excessive oil consumption. During a previous visit to the dealer, the contact was advised to shorten the vehicle oil change intervals from 10,000 miles to 5,000 miles to mitigate the oil loss. The contact stated that the dealer failed to determine that the excessive oil consumption was an early symptom of the current engine failure. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the belt filter and the piston needed to be replaced within the camshaft assembly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

I had left work and pulled out of the parking lot to head towards the freeway. I had driven about 3 blocks and the truck made an indicator alert noise. My dash panel said reduced power mode or something to that effect. The truck felt as if it lost power. Luckily I was able to pull to the side of the road at which point I put it into park and shut it off. I waited a moment and then tried to restart it. The dash panel said something but it was too fast for me to read before it went away. The engine was cranking but it did not restart. I tried several more times before calling roadside assistance to have it towed to a nearby dealership. The dealership said that I would need to replace the engine $18,751.92. They said the Camshaft RPM are 0 while the crankshaft RPM is 2-300. Lifters and Rockers are not moving. The chain is most likely broke as well. The fuel pressure is about 30 psi in the high side. It would be just as expensive if not more to try and repair the existing engine if it is even repairable which they wouldn't know until they took it apart at which point I would have to pay for that as well even if it was not salvageable. They would need to replace the oil lines and cooler as well because debris from the engine could be in them and would do more damage if not replaced. I had already replaced the oil lines and cooler within the last 6 months. The truck has 114,000 miles. My warranty still had 3 months on it but the mileage stopped at 100,000 so I am out of luck. When I researched online to see what it could be I saw there are known problems with this 6.2 L87 engine and that many fail around 100,000 miles. There are other recalls but the 2019 was not included in the recall. If I choose to have the work done it will take several weeks in which I will now have to rent a car as well. Not much of a choice when I still owe $30,000 and they only offered me $9,000 for it as is with the bad engine.

Engine Failure. I was driving down the highway pulling a trailer and the RPMs raced up and I instantly lost power. Had to try and get over to the right lane/shoulder after losing all power. Extremely scary situation going 75mph on a 3 lane highway in the left lane. Luckily I made it to a safe spot but once there, I could start the truck. It. Would sit a power cycle. Tow truck couldn’t get it into neutral so had to drag it up the flat bed. After being towed to dealer they confirmed the engine was shot and ordered a new one on March 9th. We are now over 30 days without my truck. This has not been inspected by anyone besides the dealership it was towed to and the dealership I bought the truck from and use for service. My truck was in the shop many times prior to this. Had to have the cam shaft replaced before the recall fix was published to dealerships. Once fixed my wife picked it up with my child and once they left the dealership it started vigorously shaking again and she brought it back to be told it was a fault plug and plug wire. Once our VIN came up for recall it passed the test and they put new oil in and sent me on my way. A couple weeks later it was acting strange again and I brought it back for them to again say it was a faulty plug/wire. About two weeks after this is when the engine locked up. Truck has 38,000 miles and doesn’t feel safe for our family. What can we do?!

The engine suddenly seized and now needs to be replaced. Regular oil changes, no leaks, and the engine just seized up and won't run. 5.3L V8.
