Today the truck lost power while driving and the check engine light came on to include a message saying the transmission went out. The vehicle is now un drivable and with a Chevrolets dealership waiting to be fixed.

Lifter failure at cylinder #6 causing cam shaft damage.

I was driving down the freeway at 75 miles an hour. All of a sudden the press start popped up pulled over. On the shoulder and the motor would not start.

My coolant control valve has failed, the dealership is saying the radiator is now leaking at a weld. They said this is a know issue, but are refusing to repair it. It is caused by the know failing ccv, causing the radiator to overheat.

The dealer's written estimate states verbatim: "failed cylinder 4 exhaust roller follower failure causing exhaust camshaft failure and bent exhaust valves. Cylinder head replacement required to correct this concern. Direct cause of engine noise and misfire condition. " dealer repair quote: $10,371. 34. A second independent shop confirmed the same failure and cited active fuel management (afm) and direct fuel injection (dfi) as known contributing design factors in this engine's oil consumption and internal wear pattern. That shop quoted between $11,876. 88 and $14,897. 35. This is a known pattern in the l3b engine platform. Consumer reports has documented a 4% catastrophic failure rate in this engine. Multiple NHTSA complaints exist for this same failure across 2019-2022 model years. Gm has issued technical service bulletins but has not issued a recall. General motors was formally notified of this failure via certified mail and executive email on March 24, 2026. Vehicle is inoperable and poses a safety risk as the failure causes sudden loss of power and engine shaking w information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foi.

The transmission died on my 2. 7l turbo max engine in my 2022 silverado. The "d" was flashing and giving no acceleration when pressing on the gas. The vehicle was also hard to shift. From my understanding the 2. 7l turbo max is the only engine in this time frame that hasn't been re-called due to transmission issues.

6. 2l engine had complete loss of power while traveling down the highway. Vehicle began to drive rough snd dash suddenly said shift to neutral which I did. After shifting back to drive I had to coast to a shoulder and wait for a tow truck. During repairs vehicle was returned after 6 weeks and engine replacement. 24 hours after receiving vehicle I hit the push to start and vehicle was dead. Replaced battery and lights came one. Hit push to start and it killed all power. Towed back to dealer. They checked connections and tightened box on top of battery and returned vehicle. 72 hours later check engine light came on and vehicle went into limp mode. Drove it back to dealer. After a week they located chaffed wiring on the harness leading to transmission. Was told it is a common problem on the 6. 2l engines.

L87 6. 2l engine failure after doing recommended recall for a different oil.

Intermittent knock on start up. Goes away within 10-15 seconds of continuous run. Same noise would also reoccur when towing a load.

2022 Silverado 1500 6. 2l total engine failure, replacement needed.

The truck is jumpy during stops. I get a low voltage code but the battery is fine I had it checked out. Reduced acceleration has been activated and after I turn the truck off it is fine. The check engine light comes on and turns off on it's on sometimes same day. I know there is a recall on certain 2022 silverados but they told me this one wasn't on the recall. It did have one for the brake system they said.

The engine seized while at highway speed in traffic during evening rush hour. The engine failure has been confirmed by a gm dealer and is set for replacement. There was no warning or indication that total engine failure was imminent.

While stopped at a stop light engine quit running and after three attempts to restart mil appeared and stated low oil pressure. Safety hazards included; being stuck at an intersection blocking traffic and putting myself at risk of being rear ended. Was below freezing temperatures and stranded for an hour before tow arrived gm dealership found engine to be bad and needs replaced.

While driving on interstate the screen said press button to start and the engine turned off on a steep uphill. After attempting to restart I tried to safely get to the shoulder without causing a wreck. This left us on the side of interstate for hours on a blind hilltop with trucks coming feet from us. After towing to the dealership they notified me that the engine was done and it fell victim to the recall that chevy just had on the 6. 2. Mind you I had already brought this truck in for the recall inspection and it supposedly passed.

Truck shift irratically and engine revved high and engine oil too hot message came up. Truck started to shut down on highway at 65mph pulling trailer and side by side in traffic. Once stopped truck would not restart. Engine oil temp was pegged too hot. Had to have truck towed.

Loud chatter/rattle noise under acceleration and idle loss of power with no engine lights on dash metallic shards in oil.

I had the gm 6. 2l motor recall test, it passed. Catastrophic engine failure at 50mph roughly 6000-7000 miles later. Luckily I got off the road safely. Confirmed by gm dealer, new engine has been ordered. No warning lights.

The engine coolant control valve went out on my vehicle. It is an 2022 lm2 engine. I found that that part frequently goes bad prematurely on this model. I also determined that this should be covered under n252508341. I was told by gm customer support that based on my VIN it is not covered and they would not give me any further information. This is outrageous as this is the same defective part covered on their extended warranty.

Brought my 2022 chevy silverado 6. 2 l engine into dealership for safety recall n252494001 l87 engine loss of propulsion. Engine passed this initial inspection, oil, oil filter and oil cap was changed and was sent on my way. February 4th, 2026, engines lost propulsion while traveling at highway speed, (75mph) causing a serious safety concern with rush hour traffic. After pulling over to the side of the highway, I reset the truck by cycling the ignition and was able to start the truck. On February 5th, 2026, engine lost propulsion again at neighborhood speed, (20) in a construction site. Truck was blocking traffic at this point. Engine was unable to be started, transmission was locked in parked and unable to be shifted. Had to have truck "dragged" out of traffic. Dealership was notified that I had possible catastrophic engine failure. I was advised by dealership to have it towed, at my expense to them. Truck was towed at a cost of $196 out of pocket. Tow cost an extra $50 due to the electronic shift no allowing for transmission to be shifted into neutral or linkage to be released by tow company. February 6th, 2026, dealership notified me that the engine had a catastrophic failure and would need to be replaced. Dealership has motor but trying to source one time use parts that were currently unavailable. No time frame given on sourcing those parts as of February 10th, 2026. Dealership/gm arranged for a rental car but financial limits set by gm does not include the ability to be given a truck as a rental. I am in construction and need a truck and have a once in a lifetime trip coming up March 13th. I am in need of a truck for the trip to haul my sxs and gear to another state. Very frustrated at gm for doing a piss poor job on rectifying the engine issue in the l87. The personal safety of loosing engine propulsion at 75mph during rush hour traffic could have ended in a bad accident.

On 2/5/2026, the 6. 2 liter l87 engine in my 2022 zr2 silverado locked up and is currently located at edwards Chevrolet on highway 280 in birmingham, al. While on I-65 in birmingham, al. And prior to locking up, the engine power decreased, and rpm's increased, followed by a dash message that oil temperature is high; pull over and idle. After idling the engine the dash message disappeared and oil pressure was good. We drove approx. 1. 5 miles to a parking lot where the engine seized or locked up. The truck was towed to the above referenced dealership. The dealership confirmed the engine was locked up the next day. During the summer of 2025, the dealership inspected the engine and performed an oil consumption test after I reported the engine had burned two quarts of oil between oil changes. Their fix was to transition from 0w-20 to 0w-40 oil, which has been adhered to since. The truck only has 56,000 miles on it.

I started my truck and was driving it started to shake and felt forced. Making a sound vibration . I received a message on dashboard " reduce acceleration drive with care" it felt like I was going to loose power so I turned into the parking lot and had it towed to Chevrolet dealership for service. The safety was good in the sense that I parked the vehicle into a parking lot to prevent accidents in the freeway. The dealership claims it's my engine needs replacement.

I was driving on the highway and there was a sudden drop in power and hesitation in the engine. I slowed down too quickly on a busy highway and almost got rear ended. I took it to the shop and found out I had to replace the engine due to the cam and lifters were bad. It cost $12,000 to replace a four year engine with 148,000 miles. The time before that this happened, I had to replace the engine wiring harness.

February 3, 2026 my 2022 silverado zr2 with 37,000 miles shut off on me while driving at a speed of 45 mph, I was able to pull over safely, I mentioned this to the dealership and they were unable to figure out why. 2 weeks later, my truck began to start making a loud knocking noise from the engine, I took it to the dealership and they stated that it was a failed engine and they would need to start a claim and most likely need a new engine. I have been waiting for a new engine now without a ship date on when the engine will arrive to the dealership to begin repairing my truck. They did do the recall test, change the oil type and oil cap. However, the engine still failed and I have been left without my truck until who knows when. I’ve started a claim myself with general motors to get better updates, but they don’t have one either at this time.

On febuary,3,2026 I was traveling down a local highway at 50 mph when I felt a sudden power loss and heard a squeaking noise figuring something was wrong I pulled over at the next safest spot, while pulling into the spot the squeaking noise developed into a "rod knock" the sound a loud metal clattering noise that was consistent with the rpms. I immediately shut the vehicle off and called a local towing service who promptly dropped it at my local chevy dealership the night of febuary,3,2026. Further contact was made with dealership the day of febuary,4,2026 regarding the issue , prior to this issue the truck had been in for the recall regarding the l87 6. 2 liter engine and it had passed the inspection and was given the oil change and the new oil cap and owners manual.

As I was speeding from the fast lane to get across to the right lane off ramp when my vehicle suddenly shot off. I knew I couldn’t stop on the off ramp or on the bridge I was on. Luckily I had a green light at the top of the off ramp and coasted to an empty parking lot. Once I came to a complete stop I attempted to restart my truck but no luck. The truck would not even crank over. I tried multiple times and the dash would only go dark for a few seconds and I would try again to start and had no luck. Called aaa and they thought it was a battery so they put a jumper and same thing, no crank. Then they tried jumping it with jumper cables and still no crank at all. I had just installed a new battery no more than 4 months ago and my headlights, interior lights all are working fine, no dimming or anything like that. I just had an inspection on the engine last time the truck was at the dealer and they said everything was fine and they put a new oil cap and thicker oil. I think this is related to the safety recall chevy just performed. This is a huge safety risk, I’m lucky I was able to pull off the freeway when this occurred. It’s not normal for a vehicle to just shutoff on you at freeway speeds.

My 2022 silverado pickup with 6. 2 engine simply died as I was heading down the highway at 65mph. It was dark outside and I barely got it pulled over to side of road safely. Had to have it towed to chevy dealer. They weren’t sure what problem was— starter and battery indicated ok. However we had them install new ones just in case. We’ve seen on our searches of the internet that this is not a new problem. Just today it died again on me as I was driving in town, but did start again. I travel quite a bit and am worried it will die on me again in this crazy cold weather! chevy needs to acknowledge this issue with the 6. 2 motor! I’ve already spent almost $1500 on this issue and don’t think it’s fixed,.

One day my truck drove perfect to, the next day while driving it starting losing power drastically on the highway and shuts off that I had to dead steer it to the shoulder. ”engine power reduced/grinding/knocking sound came on. I brought it to my mechanic and he says change the engine he is seeing a common thing with these 2. 7 liter from this truck model, I paid $6,500 to change it and it worked on the second hand motor that was put in. 4k miles later while driving from GA, I heard the same noises and the same message on the dash and the truck shuts off again in the lane and I had to steer it off to the shoulder. I towed it this time to tropical Chevrolet and paid diagnostic fee for them to look and tell me I need another engine that will run me over fourteen thousand dollars with parts and labor. I told them hey I just had this motor changed 4k miles ago can you figure out whats going on this is unsafe, best they could offer me is trade in the vehicle, no discount no recall no nothing. So I refused and towed it back to the mechanic who swapped it, he said I have warranty and he changed it to another motor and charged me $1,000 because the company he got the engine from said the truck overheated so they wont honor my warranty and he had to pay for it out of pocket…. Yeah! any way I went to pick up the truck with now the 3rd motor in it and on the highway 5 minutes and 2. 8 miles later(I have video proof of this) the same thing happened! on the turnpike the message came up and the speed dropped no power, it didn't shut off this time but I pulled over safely, still no overheating, I made some videos and sent it to the guys at tropical Chevrolet and didn't even get a reply, I called the mechanic and he tells me to drive it back to him, I did, they did some test and cleared the codes, I drove to auto-nation Chevrolet but talking with them led no where, I left, while at the gas pump I turned off the truck and it won’t turn back on now, so it’s towed back to the mechanic.

1)the truck experiences an intermittent but complete failure of the crankshaft position (ckp) sensor circuit and multiple chaffing points of the vehicle wiring harness. This issue is a documented manufacturing and electrical defect covered under general motors technical service bulletin (TSB) #24-na-012. Yes, the truck is available for inspection. 2)this issue has happened to me on five occasions where I was traveling over 50 mph and the vehicle violently jerked with my wife and children in the truck with me. This defect poses an immediate, severe safety hazard due to unpredictable, sudden engine/transmission jerk while operating at highway speeds. My main priority is my family! this failure compromises my ability to safely maneuver, accelerate, or steer the heavy-duty vehicle out of active lanes of traffic, dramatically increasing the risk of a high-speed rear-end collision or crash. 3) the problem has been reproduced by rick hendrick Chevrolet norfolk and r. K. Chevrolet virginia beach. There are service invoices confirming these reproducible jerks and subsequent engine codes thrown. 4) no, I brought this up to general motors as a safety issue but they have brushed off my concerns. 5) the second time I had the violent jerk I had a message appear on my dtc that stated "174 mi until 65 mph max speed and service emission system see owner's manual" that was on 2/21/2026. Extra note: the vehicle sat disabled at a dealership service center for 21 cumulative days during the initial attempt to repair this specific defect under TSB #24-na-012. Merely 58 days after the repair, the identical crankshaft position sensor circuit/wiring failure reoccurred while driving, resulting in secondary engine failure and requiring a visit to an independent service facility for diagnostic verification and wiring replacement. Internal vehicle history confirms that prior to my truck ownership the crankshaft position sensor was replaced in December 2025 weeks before I purchased the truck.

They did the pico test they said the engine was good they upgraded the oil months after that 3 time back to the dealer do to loss of propulsion its in a gm dealer shop waiting for the new long block as of 02-16-2026.

My vehicle lost reverse. It can not reverse what so ever. I was in traffic when it happened thankfully someone where there willing to help. I was told I needed a valve body, after spending 3k plus I was then told the transmission has to be replaced. And its a common thing with these vehicle losing your ability to reverse while driving is very very dangerous.

My wife and I were driving at highway speed around 70mph and truck shut off. There were no dash indicators or warning lights that signaled any engine/diagnostic issues prior to engine shutting off. Lost all power but still had brakes and steering. Coasted to safe stopping point and truck would not turn over or restart. The truck had to be towed to dealer for repair. The assessment was the engine had seized while driving and would be replaced under the gm 6. 2l engine recall.

On October 6th I took my truck in for the 6. 2l recall and it failed. Gm replaced the engine as. On Jan 15th 10 days after my first oil change just before 5000 miles the engine began to knock. After being towed 100 miles to the original dealer the replacement engine has blown and now I am waiting for another replacement.

Vehicle has experienced repeated internal engine failures related to the exhaust valve lash adjusters and valvetrain. The engine developed abnormal valvetrain noise, misfires under load, and loss of power. The check engine light would only flash during hard acceleration or when passing another vehicle (wide-open throttle), then turn off after approximately 10–15 seconds and never remain illuminated. Because the warning light would not stay on, the vehicle continued to be operated without clear indication of an active or worsening engine failure. Dealer inspection confirmed exhaust valve lash adjuster failure, which led to camshaft and valvetrain damage. This failure has occurred more than once, including after prior dealer repairs. This is a serious safety concern because the vehicle was driven at highway speeds and during passing maneuvers while experiencing internal engine damage and misfires, without persistent warning to the driver. Sudden power loss, stalling, or catastrophic engine failure during acceleration or passing presents a risk of crash or injury. This appears to be a systemic engine defect rather than normal wear, as the failure recurred and was not reliably detected by the vehicle’s monitoring system.

My truck has the 6. 2l engine that is in recall. I received my letter and took it in for inspection and oil change as recommended (Dec 15, 2025). Less than a month later (Jan 26, 2026) my engine started making loud noises. Got it to the dealership. The claim found metal in oil, spun rod bearings. They did replace engine under recall at no charge but then a week later my check engine light came on. Bad battery control module. Not sure if this was due to engine swap, etc.

The engine started knocking. The dealer confirmed the thrust bearing was the culprit. Engine replacement recommended. 41k. 6. 2.
