general problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

The company had a complimentary repair of the known issue of bad oil cooler lines. It oblast short period. I now own the vehicle and it still has leaking oil cooler lines why should it not be replaced by gm since the lines leaking or coming apart and possibly blowing up and engine is a known problem. Would like gm to replace it under the program they already had offered.

The contact's husband owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated but disappeared the following day. The contact stated that approximately four days later, after refueling the vehicle, while stopped at a red light and attempting to make a right turn, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was pushed to the side of the road and towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The contact stated that dtc: p129f was retrieved. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 23,600.

Afm causing engine tick. I am reporting a radiator failure on my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 equipped with the 6. 2l v8. The vehicle developed an active coolant leak from the radiator assembly. The coolant reservoir level dropped significantly after normal driving, and coolant was visibly leaking and collecting underneath the vehicle. The truck initially began running warmer than normal, approximately 215–220°f, before the leak was fully identified. After topping the system with the correct dex-cool coolant, the coolant level continued to drop and an external leak became clearly visible. The vehicle was subsequently parked to avoid engine overheating or further damage. The original radiator carries gm part number 84152439. I have since been advised that the current gm replacement radiator is part number 85575815. I was also informed by gm dealership personnel that radiator failures involving this application are currently being investigated. My concern is that a sudden radiator failure can result in rapid coolant loss and overheating, potentially causing engine damage or vehicle disablement while driving. This is particularly concerning because the temperature gauge may initially remain near normal even while coolant is being lost. I am requesting that NHTSA review radiator failures on 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models, particularly vehicles equipped with the 6. 2l engine and heavy-duty/enhanced cooling package, to determine whether there is a pattern of premature radiator cracking, tank/seam failure, or other coolant-loss defects that warrant a safety investigation, service campaign, or recall.

6. 2 motor failed in cylinder number 2.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph and attempting to accelerate to 55 mph, the engine started choking, and the vehicle lunged back and forth, and slowly lost drive power. The vehicle was driven to a local certified mechanic while driving at slower speeds. The certified mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the active fuel management (afm) and dynamic fuel management (dfm) systems had failed and caused the engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The mechanic informed the contact that Chevrolet vehicles with similar engines were known for engine failure. The manufacturer was not informed of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

I was driving my 2019 chevy silverado trailboss with 81,000 miles at 65mph on I-80 east in omaha, ne, when 3 warning lights came on. The first was the service parking brake. The second was service esc. The final was a flashing check engine light. My truck started backfiring/misfiring, making a loud ticking noise, and running extremely rough. I was trying to merge off the interstate, but it was running so rough that it made it very difficult to do so safely. Eventually, I just had to finish going where I was headed and park it in the lot. I did some research and called my local shop. They said to stop driving immediately and have it towed to them for inspection. They used a diagnostic tool and diagnosed the issue as a dfm lifter failure. But they could not fix it there and recommended I take it to a different shop. I had it towed again, and they did their own diagnostics and have the same idea, but without taking the engine completely apart, they can't tell for sure. They want to charge me $1,250. 00 to inspect it further. I called the dealer where I purchased the truck back in 2019 and am working with them on next steps. The last shop quoted me $7,800 repair if it is indeed the dfm lifters. Based on what I know, this is a known issue with these trucks. Gm has an "out of warranty policy assistance" in place just for these know lifter issues. This is very concerning that gm hasn't done a recall on these parts as it has shown to be a safety issue when driving the vehicle in traffic on the interstate. I just hope that gm assists me with the repair costs because it is not guaranteed and I cannot afford $7,800 right now.

We recently had a brand new engine installed in our truck that only had 70k miles and only 7 years old due to white smoke coming out of tail pipe. The day after receiving the truck back after having the brand new engine installed the truck was not operating properly then gave me a bunch of warnings and then the brakes wouldn’t work and the steering wouldn’t work. I informed the dealership that installed the brand new engine and they had the truck towed back to their shop just to look at it for 3 days and proceed to tell me there was no issues they could find. Picked the truck back up just to have the same issue happen not even a month later. I was able to document the warnings and issues while they were happening and provided those to the dealership when we drop it off for the second time after getting a brand new $13k engine installed. If you would like the video I captured of the warnings I will happily send them.

The engine malfunctioned then the engine light came on. I finally got home turned it off and let cool down. Tried to restart and same issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph and approaching a red traffic light, the vehicle stalled. There was an oil message flashing on the screen instructing the driver to pull over. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and the contact was informed about the gm customer satisfaction program: n212326940. The local dealer was contacted and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Purchased 2019 Chevrolet silverado high country edition with the 6. 2l engine and 143k miles for my son. The vehicle had a clean service history on car fax. On the day we purchased the vehicle, we drove it home and noticed it was shuttering at times. I used my computer scanner and it came back with a misfire cylinder #5. I troubleshot the issues and noted that the most common thing was a spark plug. Therefore, I replaced the spark plug and it drove much better. Two weeks later, my son was driving vehicle on I-40 near nashville TN and without warning, vehicle stalled, locking steering wheel in place! check engine lights came on and instructed him to place in neutral and restart, which he promptly did. The vehicle started, but went in limp mode making loud noises in engine before shutting off again. Luckily, traffic was minimal at 8 pm and he was able to get it over to the shoulder and avoid any injuries or accident. Towed it to nick mayer Chevrolet in dickson, TN where they diagnosed it with catastrophic engine failure and needed to be completely replaced. This is the same issue that gm is being sued for and have somehow managed to take the stance that the lifter/cam/dfm issue only existed in 2020-newer models. The 2019 is when they changed to the newer body style and the new gen v l87 engine in the 6. 2. Despite the clean vehicle history, dealership reached out to gm and they stated they would not help cover any repairs but would gladly take 14k to fix it. The 2019-2026 models all need to be recalled due to this safety issue and fixed before catastrophic engine failure claims another victim financially or worse!.

6-12-26 while driving down the highway the engine suddenly started running rough. Multiple warning lights came on and sounded like a muffled backfire. The truck has confirmed lifter failure as well as camshaft damage enough to where they're replacing an engine I still have no eta on getting my truck back the truck only has about 72 or 73,000 miles.

Wife was driving on the interstate when the vehicle revved up and then a loss of power. Had to drive home while vehicle was popping and still loss of power. I took to an independent service center, and they started a tune up with changing plugs. They checked vehicle and advised that it was possibly a lifter failure, but they couldn't fix it. I took to another independent service person and after a diagnostic check and looking into the engine it was confirmed it was a lifter issue. Vehicle has been in the shop for 3 weeks waiting on parts.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle failed to exceed 6 mph. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and it was determined that the abs module needed to be replaced. The dealer had retrieved dtc: p2074. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. While driving in stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle failed to accelerate and unexpectedly shifted into park(p). The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart, and the battery was disconnected and reconnected. The vehicle was then taken back to the local dealer, and additional diagnostic tests were recommended. The contact was informed that the torque converter and transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the failure was related to technical service bulletin: 23-na-018. The manufacturer was contacted and informed that the dealer should use a flow chart. No assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

At 70,000 miles the engine failed. Dealership said it was due to the current issues with the 6. 2 motors but mine was not included in the recall but was being evaluated to be part of the recall so I did have to buy a new engine.

2019 silverado experienced sudden engine failure while driving, creating a safety hazard. Had taken vehicle to serpentine in tallmadge ohio for brake repair as well as a ticking sound a couple of times within the past 2 years. Each time the complaint regarding the noise it made was not addressed or documented as they said it was the brakes. While driving the truck, it started clanking and banging, smoking and spewed oil all over engine and ground. The truck is completely inoperable.

The engine in my truck failed while driving down the interstate highway (I-10) on may 28, 2026. At the time of failure, a loud popping noise emitted from the engine. Power and speed were reduced as the result of the failure. The check engine light and service engine lights illuminated as quickly as the failure occurred. As many vehicles were simultaneously traveling along the highway at speed, my vehicle suddenly slowing down without indication (brake lights) could have inadvertently caused an accident. As a result, I continued driving the vehicle under reduced power to my home which was only approximately 2 miles away. During the 2-mile drive to my home, the loud popping noise intermitted but reduced power was consistent. Diagnostic checks revealed a code p0305 indicating that cylinder #5 was misfiring. Checking the components of that cylinder revealed the intake valve of cylinder #5 was not actuating when the engine was running indicating a failed lifter & camshaft.

The lifters failed at 106634 miles. This caused the motor to lose power while driving. The dealer confirmed and said a new engine was needed. There were no warnings just immediate failure of a part Chevrolet knows very well is an issue but won't do anything about.

Engine oil cooler line leaking from crimp. Same issue csp n212326940 gm distributed but my truck was not covered for some reason.

While driving home from my way to work, an esc sensor alert went off on the dashboard display. My truck was sent into limp mode, could not accelerate anymore and as soon as I pulled off onto the side of the road the truck died. I was never able to start the truck again. Determined it was an engine lock up when I tried to turn the crankshaft by hand.

Own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with approximately 76,896 miles. The vehicle experienced sudden coolant loss and overheating while driving and became disabled to the point it would not restart. The vehicle required towing to a repair facility. The symptoms appear substantially similar to known gm cooling system/oil cooler line issues addressed in other silverado programs and complaints, however my VIN is excluded from coverage. I am requesting review for goodwill assistance and escalation due to the nature of the failure, the maintenance history of the vehicle, and the safety concern created by sudden overheating and loss of power.

This truck has a recall on it but by specific VIN numbers mine doesn’t fall into the VIN number but had the same catastrophic oil cooler line failure, which is in the recall which caused the engine tool expire with 40,000 miles on it. Truck is like brand new general motors will not honor the warranty even though it’s the failure that’s in the warranty makes no sense.

Was driving along at 65mph when I heard a pop and then truck shut off said loss of oil pressure along with a few other warnings. Managed to cost to the side of a hwy that has no shoulder msg came up saying put in neutral to start did so the motor cranked but would not turn over like it had lost all compression. Got towed to a local repair shop spun a main bearing which in turn broke the timing chain that then took out the oil pump. Had no prior issues have kept up and regular maintenance well before the recommended time intervals. The hwy I was on is very busy two lane road with no shoulders and very limited passing opportunities could have very easily been hit. This has left me with a need for a total engine replacement that are quite expensive on a vehicle that was bought because it was not part of the gm recall as it is outside the listed as effected yrs.

On Tuesday April 28 while I was driving the engine suddenly started making a strange noise and the engine died. It would not restart. I had it towed to the dealer and was told the cam shaft “spun” and destroyed the engine. I am now having to replace the engine at a cost of $11,000!.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet high country, have always kept it serviced and maintained. Driving down the road it randomly lost power, wouldn't let me (driver) give gas, started shaking and making loud clanking noise from the engine. Was able to pull over to the side of the road, recorded the noise it was making. Called a tow company to get it towed to the nearest Chevrolet dealer ship and they confirmed that the engine was no longer good. Related problem to the 6. 2l motor issues. They are requested for a new motor.

: experienced engine failure. : as of now, vehicle is at the dealership since ( April, 24 2026 ) dealership - sunshine Chevrolet - arden nc 28704 ( vehicle is available for inspection ) : I was on my way to work on interstate 26, near asheville nc when I noticed sudden shaking and loss of power. I had to immediately get the vehicle into slower lane of traffic, before exiting the interstate. : problem has been confirmed by the dealer : yes > warning lights did appear. ( service engine ) also ( oil pressure warning light ).

I have a 2019 Chevrolet trialboss with a 5. 3 l engine and the lifters went out on this vehicle! now it’s needs a new engine! and there seems to be a huge trend with this.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted immediately, but the failure persisted twice, causing the contact to wait for the vehicle to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA action number: ea25007 (engine, engine, and engine cooling). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,500.

On Sunday, April 12, 2026, at approximately 5:00 pm, I experienced a sudden and complete engine failure while driving my 2019 chevy silverado equipped with the 6. 2l v8 engine. Without warning, the vehicle lost all ability to accelerate, creating an immediate and dangerous situation for myself, my family, and surrounding drivers. I was forced to rely on the vehicle’s remaining momentum to maneuver to the side of the road, all while other drivers honked as I attempted to merge with no engine power. This incident caused significant stress and posed a serious safety risk. My vehicle had to be towed home and then to [xxx] casa Chevrolet at [xxx] . After inspection, the dealership informed me that the engine requires a full rebuild, despite the vehicle having only 115,697 miles. According to the dealership, the engine shows * compression on all cylinders**, **crankshaft and camshaft compression failure**, **pistons coated in oil and fuel with visible damage**, and a *?functioning timing chain likely due to a broken guide**. These findings mirror the exact symptoms currently under investigation in gm’s **ea25007** inquiry involving the 6. 2l v8 (l87) engines in 2021–2025 gm trucks and suvs gm has already issued a major recall affecting nearly *,000 vehicles** due to defective connecting rods and crankshafts that can cause sudden engine failure, stalling, and potential fire hazards. Although my 2019 silverado is not included in the recall, it is experiencing the same catastrophic engine failure associated with the defective components identified in the investigation. The dealership has quoted me $10,000 for an engine rebuild and has refused to assist with the cost. I have also filed a complaint directly with gm, as this failure presents the same safety risks and mechanical defects acknowledged in the recalled models. This sudden engine failure placed my family and other motorists in immediate danger, and the lack of w information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Engine problem had to get a new engine.

I am reporting a potential safety defect involving my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 z71 trail boss (VIN [xxx]), currently at approximately 63,000 miles. My truck suddenly developed a rough idle, engine ticking, and a cylinder 3 misfire. The check engine, traction control, parking brake, and “service esc” warnings appeared. The transmission also began shifting extremely hard, at times feeling as though another vehicle had struck the truck from behind. The oil pressure gauge also stopped functioning. Due to these symptoms, I stopped driving the vehicle. A diagnostic scan produced p0303, p0449, p0498, p0499 and p0500. After replacing a failed cylinder 3 spark plug, the truck initially ran perfectly for approximately 20 minutes before the rough idle and warning lights returned. The vehicle was subsequently diagnosed by a Chevrolet dealership. The dealership determined that the engine suffered a collapsed lifter that damaged the camshaft and other internal engine components. The engine repair estimate is approximately $10,000–$12,000. The dealership has also reported that the transmission is slipping and believes the torque converter/transmission requires approximately another $6,300 in repairs. I am concerned that a lifter/dfm-related failure causing a misfire, rough running and potential loss of engine power could occur while a vehicle is traveling at highway speed and create a significant safety hazard. The severe transmission shifting and subsequent slipping are also concerning because unexpected vehicle behavior during acceleration or while in traffic could increase the risk of a crash. The truck has been regularly maintained and has relatively low mileage for its age. I am requesting that NHTSA review whether similar engine/lifter/dfm and related powertrain failures represent a broader safety defect and whether an investigation or recall is warranted. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The engine died while in use. We were130 miles from home when the engine started making weird noises and a tapping sound. All the lights on the dash lit up and truck would hardly run. L had a independent car hauler haul the vehicle back home to a local garage. The vehicle has been repaired for $10,919 and paid $800. 00 to have it transported.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message "oil level low - turn off vehicle immediately" was displayed. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed a burning odor coming from under the hood, with an abnormal engine oil leak. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the engine oil cooler line had detached. The vehicle was repaired out of pocket. Upon further investigation, the contact related the failure to the Chevrolet customer satisfaction program: n212326940 and Chevrolet customer satisfaction program: n192220080; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I was traveling home one night and the truck shut off while driving and lost all power, loosing all steering, braking power aswell as all my lights while traveling down the road in the dark. . When I went to start it again all I would get was a cranking noise but no firing. After 30 minutes of waiting the truck started again. In which I drove it 3 more miles before it shut down again. After that it would not crank nor start. I then had the vehicle towed to my local Chevrolet dealer, and they had notified me that the engine had failed and locked up. In the process it had also taken out the fpcm (fuel pump control module) aswell as the high pressure fuel pump located on top of the motor. Causing me to have a new motor from gm installed. I had no previous problems or lights before this had happened.

At 82,000 miles, cylinder number 6 lifter collapsed resulting in a bent push rod. I have since replaced the cam, lifters, push rods with an afm delete kit for texas speed knowing that the same problem would occur if factory parts were used again. One would think that a newer vehicle should last longer than 82k miles with all the technology today. Oil changes were always on time between 3 and 5k miles. Unfortunately, I'm cursed with knowing how to work on vehicles. Is there anything that gm can do with my out-of-pocket material costs of $2500. 00? love the truck . . . But very discouraged and may have to go back with a Ford!.

I want to start off by saying that I have taken meticulous care of this vehicle and the intention was to keep this truck forever. However, that will not be possible after this incident. I was driving the vehicle at 60 mph when I noticed smoke coming out of the back of the vehicle and at that moment, the dash cluster started warning to shut off the engine immediately due to a lack of oil. I know there was plenty of oil in the engine because I just had the oil changed at a shop two weeks prior to the incident. I was able to verify that it was a total of 22 seconds from the time I noticed the smoke to the time I was able to pull off safely and shut the engine off. At that time, the engine had not seized, and I was able to manually shut off the engine on my own. I never tried to restart the engine and I had it towed to a shop that was nearby. 48 hours later the mechanic inspected it and discovered that the oil cooling line had somehow disconnected from the engine block, which had resulted in a catastrophic loss of oil. When that repair was made, the mechanic discovered that the engine would not start either by hand or automatically and deemed the engine to be seized. The engine in question is the Chevrolet 6. 2l l87 engine that was involved in a manufacturer recall for models made in 2020 through 2024. My vehicle is the 2019 model and although there have been numerous occasions that I’ve been able to find in only a short period of research that revealed similar issues with a 2019 l87 6. 2l engine, there still is no official recall on my specific model year. It was 1:30 in the morning, and I was rushing my sick dog to the emergency vet when this happened. Not only did it cause a major inconvenience trying to get him there in a timely manner, but our safety was also compromised in the process.
