general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

Engine seized in middle of highway and truck went immediately into park. No warnings.

I was sent a notice of a recall regarding a fuel pump, power control module that needs to be taken care of, but it is not being accepted under my VIN number. I believe that there is this issue with my vehicle or something similar because every day I start the vehicle up for the first time and drive it. It is jerking me and does not have proper fuel or proper pressure to move the vehicle without jerking me. After 10 to 15 minutes it cleans up and drives better but then again we’ll redo it if I sit still for multiple hours and restart the vehicle again late in the afternoon it will do it all over.

Vehicle engine failed with approximately 48,000 miles. Prior to failure, engine shut off while traveling 55mph on a public highway causing operator to have to pull over to restart engine. Vehicle inspected by gm dealer who advised metal in engine oil, requiring engine replacement.

I took my truck in to have a bad fuel pump module looked at. During the inspection they found some metal in the oil and it was confirmed by more being in the oil filter. This truck had previoulsy been cleared on the NHTSA campaign 25v-274, but now it appears that it is a part of that recall. The dealer has initiated the work with the chevy corporate offices and I am working to secure a rental/ loaner car. I am filing this in the event there are any issues getting the new replacement engine.

Engine is the 6. 2l v8. Engine has started consuming oil. Consumed approximately 3 quarts of oil over 4k miles. 0 signs of external leakage.

We were sold a 2022 zr2 1500 chevy pickup on 8/14/2026. The dealer disclosed "unknown" on the used car buyer disclosure form. By admission of service department this truck's engine seized in March 2026. A replacement engine was ordered, placed on back order, and arrived to the dealership in August 2026. The service department believed that the repair was done and finished on 8/14/2026, the same date as the purchase. On 8/30/2026, the truck was not running properly, not moving forward despite pressing on the gas, and lots of instrument panel lights. The truck was towed to the dealership and "fixed" they claim it was a fuel injector and separate from the issue regarding the engine.

My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 high country with the 6. 2l l87 engine suffered a sudden catastrophic engine failure after passing the inspection for recall 25v274 at approximately 70,000 miles and being returned to service. While I was pulling into my driveway, the engine abruptly shut off as though the ignition had been turned off. It would crank but would not restart. The sudden loss of propulsion while the vehicle was moving created a safety concern; a similar shutdown in traffic could cause a crash. The Chevrolet dealership disassembled the engine and documented multiple lifters stuck in their bores, requiring excessive force to remove, and deep cylinder-wall scoring that could catch a fingernail. The dealer determined that the block damage required complete engine replacement and replaced the engine. The dealer attributed the failure to lack of oil or improper maintenance and denied recall-related coverage, stating that the failure involved the upper engine rather than the crankshaft or connecting-rod bearings covered by the recall. I strongly dispute the poor-maintenance conclusion. Oil changes were performed regularly. The dealer told me the oil was somewhat low but still within the operating range when the truck arrived after the failure. I ask NHTSA to review this sudden engine failure following completion of recall 25v274 and whether the recall inspection/remedy adequately addresses the risk of subsequent engine failure. I am not asserting that a particular manufacturing defect caused this failure; the underlying cause remains disputed. Availability of the failed engine for further inspection is unknown.

Coolant control valve is malfunctioning. Check engine code p1098, running fans loud cooling fans running at full blast shortly after turning off the engine. General motors issued special coverages n252508341 extending coolant control valve warranty protection up to 15 years or 150,000 miles for select 3. 0l duramax vehicles. Unfortunately, gm says my VIN isn’t covered by the extended warranty even though it has all the same issues as those that are covered down to the check engine code notes on their bulletin n252508341.

I did the 0w-40 oil swap and now my truck is having more issues than before the recall, doing a “oil consumption test”.

Engine abruptly lost power in middle of high speed lane. I did not have enough momentum to make it to safety, totally on the shoulder, transmission locked up, couldn’t move vehicle to safety, extremely dangerous situation!!!.

I experienced a crankshaft bearing failure while driving my 6. 2l v8 Chevrolet silverado on the highway / freeway. Thankfully I was able to exit highway / freeway to avoid a car collision due to loss of power. My truck was towed to a certified chevy dealer. This is a known issue for 2019-2026 6. 2l v8 l87 engines. The truck was previously inspected by a certified chevy dealer for prior l87 engine recall. It passed and they changed the oil type to 0w-40. Prior to this event, my truck was at the dealer for a low oil pressure issue / oil pan replacement. I picked it up from the dealer after the vehicle was repaired and drove it for about three days and then experienced the crankshaft bearing failure. No warning lamps illuminated prior to failure. My truck is currently at the dealer waiting for a new engine.

While traveling in bumper to bumper highway traffic in my 2022 Chevrolet silverado rst, I attempted to accelerate and the vehicle suddenly malfunctioned. I experienced sever loss/restriction of propulsion and the vehicle would not respond normally to accelerator input. I was able to maneuver toward the shoulder of the road while avoiding a major multi-car pile up involving innocent motorists. When I attempted to stop, I did not have normal braking ability and was unable to stop in the manner I expected. I had to use the shoulder of the highway to slow the truck down until I could come to a complete stop. This created an immediate risk of serious or fatal collision on the highway, and as I maneuvered the truck out of traffic to the side of the road. Had I been unable to reach the shoulder of the road, I could have been struck by surrounding traffic. Had this failure occured un an urban area or at an intersection, near pedestrians, or at a school bus stop- I could have seriously injured or killed people or myself. After I was able to come to a complete stop. I shut it off and turned it back on, then the truck read there was no gas left (I had a 1/2 tank). This incident is not isolated electronic glitch, I have experienced electrical malfunctions including the truck failing to start, unlocking, responding at all. This all occured after an engine replacement due to a recall. I am concerned that there are unresolved electrical and power-distribution, communication-network, propulsion or braking issues that presents a serious safety risk to myself and others. My concern is that if this malfunction occurred on my drive to work in the city, around pedestrians- it could have resulted in multiple fatalities.

My truck was driving fine down the road and started getting a knocking sound. I had a tow truck come pick the truck up and take it to the dealer, after about a week they advised I needed a new motor.

The motor seized. My life was at risk. I was on the highway. The vehicle was reported to the chevy dealership and diagnose that the motor is locked.

The vehicle previously received the official gm recall campaign 25v-274 remedy/inspection, but suffered catastrophic engine failure and sudden loss of propulsion afterwards.

Engine failure. 5. 3l motor.

Component/system failed: the 6. 2l l87 engine. The engine ultimately seized and the vehicle became inoperable. The engine should be available for inspection because it is being replaced under gm special coverage n252494003. Safety risk: the engine unexpectedly shut off while driving at highway speeds. Loss of propulsion in traffic creates a significant collision risk. The inability to restart left the vehicle disabled. Confirmed: an independent repair facility confirmed that the engine was seized prior to towing it to the gm dealer. Yesterday the gm dealer confirmed I had a seized engine and it was going to be replacement under n252494003 special coverage entention. Inspections: my truck was inspected in October 25, for the recall. My truck passed this test, and was subsequently was told my oil spec has been revised. Warnings/symptoms: no warning was given.

I have a 2022 silverado ltd with the 6. 2. I purchased the truck about a month and a half ago the previous owner had the 40 weight oil recall completed prior to my purchase. I had the oil changed when it said 45 percent life remaining far before it was due a certified chevy dealer completed the oil change with the 40 weight correct oil. Well about 8 days ago I went out and started the truck and heard a clunk sound like a failing starter would make. So later that day I notice a ticking noise as well as a chirping noise. Coming from engine bay. I made note of it. Ever since the noise began I have kept close eyes on it the ticking and chirping rise and fall when I give it gas. Yesterday when I started it the clunk noise happened but this time I felt a shudder or stutter I looked at the rpms and they didn't move at all with the shudder. I have an appointment Monday morning to take it to the dealer I looked into the recall for the thicker oil. And learned that this motor is pretty much junk and multiple issues I haven't driven it since yesterday because the issues I'm having correspond with complete engine failure at any point and I do not want to be on the highway and it happen that would put me and other motorist at risk injury. There has been no warning lights no engine light just the initial clunk the first time and since that it's just been getting worse.

Coolant control valve is malfunctioning. Running fans: loud cooling fans running at full blast shortly after turning off the engine. Extended warranty coverage: general motors issued special coverages (n252508341 / n252508340) extending coolant control valve warranty protection to 15 years or 150,000 miles for select 3. 0l duramax vehicles. Unfortunately, gm says my VIN isn’t covered by the extended warranty even though it has all the same issues as those that are.

I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the check engine light came on, the check the parking brake light came on, and the service electronic stability control system light came on. The engine then started making a knocking sound. These trucks have a known lifter issue. I had a 2021 that had the same problem. It was still under warranty so I was able to get out from under it. This one isn’t and they want $9,000 to replace the engine. There is a recall on the 6. 2 liter but not for the 5. 3 liter for some reason. These engines have an issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph and towing a trailer on route 16 with his children inside the vehicle, within 10 minutes of driving, there was smoke coming from underneath the vehicle and entering the cabin. There were no warning lights illuminated. The driver pulled over safely. Additionally, the contact stated that there was no issue prior to the failure. First responders arrived on the scene but were unable to use fire extinguishers to contain the fire. The contact called 9-1-1. Within approximately 10 minutes, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames, which reached an estimated height of 10 feet. A police report and a fire department report were filed. The driver and his two children sustained smoke inhalation. The contact's daughter was vomiting; however, medical attention was not provided. The contact stated that a nearby vehicle and the trailer were damaged from the fire. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

While driving 65mph on the highway the engine locked up and shut down. There was a loss of propulsion and steering making it difficult to safely maneuver off the highway.

Engine sudden loss of propulsion while driving on interstate w/out warning. Pulled to side and check engine light and hot oil warning came on prior to engine dying. Had to call tow and dealer says engine needs to be replaced but they won’t ship vehicle back after repair and it’s 4 hours from my house, that I need to pick it up.

July 11, 2026 I experienced a lifter failure. Towed to gm dealer on July 13th. Dealer comfirmed lifter failure and camshaft damage and metal contamination throughout engine. Dealer installed replacement engine using my mechanical breakdown policy since I was out of factory warranty. Picked up truck one month later with new engine and the transmission started slipping and shuttering. Took back to dealer who claimed metal fragments in fluid and said transmission needed to be replaced. I then made a second claim on my mechanical breakdown policy and the dealer replaced the transmission. All of these issues are known issues with the engine and transmission.

Vehicle's replacement motor from gm recall (2nd motor) failed at 6200 miles. Rear tires briefly lock up causing slight swerving before the system shifted to "n"eutral. Upon restart, starter was unable to crank over seized engine. Dtc confirmed p0016 crank shaft position out of alignment.

While traveling at night on the highway at excess of 70mph the engine in my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6. 2l l87 experienced a sudden, complete mechanical failure and loss of propulsion while driving. There were no warning lights, sounds or any other indication the motor would instantly stop working. This created an immediate crash hazard for me, my children and my dog. The vehicle is completely inoperable and I paid $125 to have it towed home. Upon talking to the dealership service ce manager they are refusing to inspect/replace my engine under safety recall n252494001. The same dealer is also requiring a large diagnostic fee prior to looking at the vehicle and has stated they will require additional fees as needed. They also refused to provide a loaner vehicle.

Truck continues to shutter after having the torque converter replaced and the 2nd injector replaced. Been in the shop several times over the last few years, and still giving warnings on the dash saying, reduce acceleration drive safely. Feel like we just got a terrible vehicle. Almost paid off, and it’s just unreliable. Sadly we need this truck every single day, and the local dealerships have now pushed the problem out so far that we’re passed out 60k warranty period.

We purchased our 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 zr2 in xxx, it was discovered in the purchase process that the vehicle had an active recall on the engine which was pending a "fix. " this was completely downplayed by the dealership as a minor issue that would be addressed. We waited several weeks for the "fix," which was essentially a change in the oil viscosity. On xxx, our [xxx] son, was out of town, driving the vehicle, which suddenly lost all power on the highway leaving him completely stranded. The vehicle would not turn over at all or even shift into neutral. There were no warning signs, no sensors activated, in fact, the chevy app showed (and still shows) the vehicle as "everything looks good" "no diagnostic issues!" we had the vehicle towed back to our hometown/dealership (missoula, Chevrolet in missoula, mt), where it has now been determined, the engine completely seized up/failed, the original "fix" was not adequate, and we are now waiting for a new engine to be put into the vehicle! after reading about other vehicle owners experiences, I am quite skeptical of the new engine as there have been multiple experiences where the new engines had the same issue. This recall is impacting the safety of drivers, most concerning was our [xxx] left stranded in a rural area with very spotty cell service, and the vehicle would not even shift to neutral to get it to a safer area, this needs to be addresses as soon as possible to prevent others from being put into this situation.

My company purchased a new 2022 Chevrolet silverado rst from bomnin Chevrolet manassas in December 2022. The vehicle has been properly maintained according to gm’s recommended maintenance schedule, including routine oil changes and tire rotations. On February 10, 2025, the truck began shaking and repeatedly shutting off. Bomnin Chevrolet diagnosed a failed fuel injector and completed the repair. No loaner vehicle was available, requiring me to use uber transportation until the vehicle was returned on February 12, 2025. On may 19, 2025, the truck again shut off multiple times while traveling approximately 45 mph. The vehicle was returned to bomnin Chevrolet, where it remained for three days. No loaner vehicle was available, forcing me to rent a vehicle from enterprise. The dealership ultimately stated it could not diagnose the problem and advised that the failure would have to occur again before it could be repaired. The vehicle was returned on may 22, 2025. On June 18, 2026, the engine shut off while driving and would not restart. The vehicle was towed to bomnin Chevrolet. After several days, the dealership advised that the engine had suffered catastrophic failure due to a lifter issue and required complete replacement. Gm approved the warranty repair; however, the replacement engine is on national backorder. No loaner truck was available. The dealership offered only a $44-per-day rental reimbursement, which is not comparable to the business use of a full-size pickup truck. As of June 29, 2026, the vehicle remains at the dealership, leaving my business without a suitable replacement vehicle and significantly impacting daily operations. I am requesting a voluntary manufacturer repurchase of the vehicle, reimbursement of all rental cars, and a fare financial compensation package for any inconvenience.

Recall remedy was performed just a few months prior didn't even make it through the life of the oil and the 6. 2l l87 is seized up per Chevrolet dealership in chelsea michigan.

Took my 22 silverado with the l87 engine in for the recall. The dealer stated that my vehicle had a tick in the motor but it passed the pico test. They switched it to the 0w40 oil and stated that my engine will probably blow here soon, but until that happens there hands are tied. Today I took my truck in for another inspection because my motor had a very loud tick noise almost sounding like metal on metal, they stated they did not hear anything and without more proof nothing can be done. My safety is very much put at risk when I report something to them thats happening with the vehicle, and if my motor blows while im driving 80 mph I could crash into others or even die myself. My transmission is also having problems of what I would call bucking when you put it into drive, I also filled up with gas last week shut my truck off pumped gas, got back into my truck and started it, went to put it into drive had no power shut it off and did it again, I had power but my rear wheels were locked up and wouldnt budge. Shut it off turned my truck on and engaged the 4 wheel drive, and then disengaged it, still not able to drive. Shut it off and put it back into drive and the rear wheels were able to drive normally. Dealership says theres a recall on the transmission to add a spacer plate so it was ordered. This issue needs to be taken very seriously this is why they say theres only 3% motors affected is because they decline the motors that have actual problems but its still running so to them its fine.

Low engine oil level appeared on my 2022 silverado ltz with the 6. 2l engine for the first time of ownership. The truck is on the first 0w40 oil change performed for the engine recall with 42% engine oil life left. I get the oil changed around 30% left. Up until this point while running the 0w20 this hasn't happened. I'm now concerned that because of the oil viscosity difference that this may become an on going issue.

2022 Silverado 1500 ltz w/6. 2l 38082 total miles. First engine replacement due to seizure at approx. 17,782 miles around June/2025, the vehicle lost all propulsion and stopped running while sitting at a stop sign at a four way intersection during a really bad thunderstorm, luckily the intersection was on a declining hill and I was able to coast it into nearby parking lot . I'm a senior citizen with a replaced hip and couldn't have gotten it out the roadway otherwise. Contacted gm through the app. To arrange service and tow. The tow couldn't be completed by the assigned wrecker service because it was busy with other tows because of the severe storms. The following afternoon, it was towed to the local dealership for service. It took approx. A week before I was finally informed that the engine seized with explanation. . Repair took just over 3 months to complete under warranty/recall at dealership, didn't get vehicle back until the beginning of September 2025. Engine replacement inspection passed by GMC on the recall inspection at local dealership. Oil changed from factory 0w-20 to 0w-40 around January or February 2026 if I'm not mistaken. Driving down the highway on 06/03/2026 and all the sudden loss of propulsion. Zero warning! lucky I was able to coast onto an exit ramp without getting in an accident with hwy. Traffic! luckily I was able to find a church parking lot and asked a person that I knew to give me a ride home. Because it was after business hours, I waited till the local dealership opened the next morning and spoke with service personnel and they arranged a tow to take it to the dealership. As of the end of the business day 06/05/26 I have no word from dealership on the status of vehicle, but the vehicle experienced the same symptoms, a sudden total loss of power and no start, just a single click and no electrics. I feel that the inspection testing and oil change does not address and/or fix the root cause of these engine failures.

I was driving on the freeway at 70 mph and my engine totally froze which made my car die and almost caused a huge accident right in the middle of the freeway. Then I had to push it off to 12 mile road gas station in the middle of oncoming traffic. My engine seized and it has been in the dealership since June 3. It is now July 4 2026th so 31 days and I still haven’t even found out if it’s my engine or not they haven’t really told me anything.

* engine/ yes available for inspection. * has not happened yet, however the risk exists. * yes, oil consumption and has been confirmed by dealer and monitored every 1,000 miles. * been inspected by local dealer only. * yes, low oil pressure light came on. I was 2 qtrs. Low, xxx my vehicle was inspected and according to them "passed". 0w-40 was introduced and a new oil cap indicates the change. Gm explains that it is acceptable to burn up to 2 qtrs. Of oil between oil changes. They have me come to the dealer every 1,000 miles to check the oil level. I came back from a work-related function, putting approx. 220 miles. It was time for oil level inspection, and my engine was found to be 1/2qtr. Low. I ask them to top it off and I was told; “we do not stock this oil in bulk; you have to buy a qt. And we'll put it in. " I have been a car owner since I was [xxx], now [xxx] and have never heard such nonsense in my life. In fact, in my lifetime, I have not experienced engine burning oil. This is a 6. 2 liter with 57,700 and my fear is that something catoptric will happen to the motor resulting in no recourse.
