general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

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.

My truck has the 6. 2l engine, prior to me buying it in September 2025 with 27,000 miles it had its engine replaced due to the recall/engine failure, then after 6,000 miles on 12-30-25 the 2nd engine it has had failed and had to be replaced. This truck that only has 34,000 miles is now on its 3rd motor and leaves me worried to really travel with it due to wondering if I am going to be stranded again.

2022 zr2 silverado with the l87 6. 2l. Have been complaining of shuttering starting at 22,500 miles and a few times after that. Vehicle passed pico recall test and engine failed within 2,000 miles with zero warning. I was merging into traffic accelerating.

Going down highway in winter conditions and vehicle had a shudder and was shifting funny and blew up total loss of power. . This happend a week after getting recall done and engine oil changed. . That was a very dangerous position to put me and my passenger in. Toal failure of bottom end. .

My 2022 Silverado 1500 with the 6. 2l v8 engine has had continuous problems since purchase. The original engine was replaced under warranty at approx. 24k miles and has now had the lifters and camshaft replaced, as well as the knock sensors. All of this had to be negotiated with gm and my poor service manager, despite numerous recalls and class action lawsuits with gm regarding these known issues. I would like to trade this truck off for something safe and reliable, however the used value is tanking as quickly as their new vehicles. Dealerships are offering over $11k off of new 2026 trucks, damaging the resale value of all 2021-2025 units. At this point I just want gm to purchase the vehicle back and let me find something safe for my family.

I took my truck in for the recall on the l87 6. 2 engine pcoed test and they said it passed. They changed to the 0-40 oil. I noticed a significant fuel mileage drop from mid 20 to low 14 on long highway drives. I had an oil change done and drove 500 miles the next day and there was just a trace of oil on the dipstick. I called my chevy dealership and they said that is normal for oil consumption. I topped off the oil before heading back home and used 3/4 of a quart. I am watching my oil consumption and looking to do an oil consumption test done by the dealership. They did not recommend this test I researched it. I am concerned my engine will blow up.

I own a 2022 chevy silverado with a 6. 2 liter engine. I had the original engine up until approx 80k in mileage when it failed, I was on a dark country road doing approximately 50mph and the propulsion system failed and the truck shut off, being a country road, I had minimum breaking and minimal steering. I had my [xxx] son in the car, we ended up in a culvert and I scraped either a large rock or a piece of concrete that sometimes line culverts, it did damage. At the time, until recently, I had no idea I should report this. I did know that gm had issued a recall and I believed the engineer would be covered, which it was. I never reported the damage to insurance as I didn't want my ins to go up anymore, so I have not fixed it yet. My [xxx] old was scared beyond belief. Anyhow, williams chevy in elkton, MD replaced the engine free of any cost. I believe the dates are approx to be 9/26 to 10/25/ 2025. On or about 11/25 or 26th 2025, with approx 2k miles on the newly installed 6. 2 liter engine, while traveling with my [xxx] son, I experienced another catastrophic engine failure. This time we were traveling on 896 in delaware and rt 40. While crossing over, the car cut off completely again while traveling at 50mph. We barely avoided a collision on the other side of the intersection with merging traffic, I applied the manuel breaks along with the power steering was out too. My spouse was angry that gm is still doing this knowing this could be the result. Upon the 2nd installation, I dropped the truck off on the above date. It took until 1/5/26 bor approx 1/9/26. On approx 2/12/26 I had the oil changed at a local jiffy lube. This was conducted at 3400 miles, less than the manufacturer suggests with the new 40w oil. Anyhow, yet again, my truck had zero rewarding on the dipstick. I have paperwork for both engine installs and the jiffy lube paperwork documenting the no reading on the dip stick. I am a disabled veteran and this is an unsafe and unreliable fix from gm. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of informatio.

On December 12th, while on interstate 10, my engine started making clanking noise, it started to stall and jerk. I had try to get over to the shoulder of the interstate. I had to restart the truck to try and get off the interstate. It died out. I tried to restart and it did, just enough for me to get it off the interstate. It was finally towed to the dealership. The mechanic said it wasn’t under warranty. They say the rocker atms are bent and 2 pistons were damaged the charge the mechanic also said that my engine in my truck was too small for my truck. He doesn’t know why they use it …. They want $8700 to make the repairs, gm will not assist in cost off to r repair. I’ve come to find out this is a common problem in this model of my truck.

See attached document for complaint. When contacting my local dealership, dick hannah Chevrolet located in sandy oregon the service representative bxxxxx explained to me that they could not complete service in the form of inspection. Bxxxxx recommended that I defer my request for a month. This is an example of Chevrolet, and the local dealership combining in a course of action meant to deceive their customers. While on the one hand they indicate an interest in activating the recall on the other hand they refuse to provide service. The customer, me, is left in no mans land with a serious recall condition unable to seek resolution. My request, investigate both the company, Chevrolet, and the dealership and pursue resolution as the recall is intended.

The raido screen glitches randomly and wont let you use it. The engine has a bad shudder while driving. When the engine shudders the rpms go down. It has hard shift most of the time after sitting over night and starting driving in the morning. It has been doing these issues for at least 6 months.

Dealer (bob howard in edmond oklahoma) has failed to address recall n252494000 for over 90+ days now after several inquiries from owner.

Gm is recalling the fuel injector flow rate system but is unwilling to fix damaged parts from the flow rate being off. My engine has misfiring, pitted cam, camshaft lobe wear, valves and needs a new head stemming from the fuel injector flow rate being off. Gm is refusing to support their product. This is a known issue gm is having with these engines.

I have a 2022 Chevrolet 1500 trail boss with the 6. 2. Intermittingly when starting off at a red light or from a stopped position, when you press the gas pedal to go the engine will stall and then will suddenly pick back up after a second or two. This intermittingly issue makes it very dangerous when turning in front of oncoming traffic, or in a situation when sudden acceleration is needed. The motor ticks even at idle when running. Also, when you come to a stop at a redlight, the engine shuts off, when you release the brake to go, the auto start restarts the engine. On my truck, when the starter restarts the engine, the starter will not disengage. You have to put the truck in park, turn the switch off and manually restart the engine to make the starter quit spinning over. This problem is also intermitting. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it dont. I took my truck to mike bell Chevrolet twice in carrollton georgia, where I bought it. The first time I took it to them was 2-10-25, it was for the starter hanging up in auto-start, they charged me $199. 00 to do a diagnostic, told me they could not replicate the issue. Then I took it back to mike bell Chevrolet on 7-2-2025 after my wife had called the service department and told them that the engine stalls sometimes when starting off, the woman at mike bell said that this is one of the symptoms of the recall on my truck. She said we need to bring it in. They called me back and said they could not get it to replicate the issue and wanted to charge me another $399. 00 for checking it. We refused to pay this because it is an active recall and we were advised to bring it in. If this engine stalls in traffic, I want it documented that the engine intermittingly stalls when starting off sometimes in case there is an accident.

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding the failure of the 6. 2l v8 engine in my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (VIN: [xxx] ), which is currently under recall (NHTSA campaign number: 24v444000). On Thursday, [xxx], while traveling for work approximately 30 minutes from my home, the engine suddenly failed without warning—just two days after I received the recall notice from gm, which acknowledged the defect but stated there was no current fix available. Fortunately, I was able to safely pull over and was within sight of hometown motors (Chevrolet dealership in fruitland, id), but still had to pay $100 out-of-pocket to have the truck towed less than 1/4 mile. The dealership later confirmed the engine had failed and ordered a replacement, with an estimated repair time of three weeks. I use this truck daily for my small business, where I CO-own and operate a window covering company. The truck is a critical part of my business, used to transport tools, ladders, and product samples. Gm and the dealership delayed the rental approval process by two full days, and once finally approved, I was informed by enterprise that it would be another three days before a vehicle would be available—and it would not be comparable to the silverado I purchased for over $50,000. As of today, I still do not have a comparable rental vehicle, and I’ve been given multiple excuses as to why one can’t be provided. I cannot operate my business using a small sedan. This engine failure has caused direct financial loss, business disruption, and a complete loss of reliable transportation for work. Gm’s failure to provide a timely solution to a known defect is unacceptable, and I urge the NHTSA to investigate the handling of this recall and the lack of appropriate remedies for owners affected—especially those like myself who rely on these vehicles for commercial use.

At 53,000 miles the coolant control valve has failed 2 times. A very common problem many owners have had. 1st ccv replaced at 45,000, second lasted less than 10,000 miles. Truck is forced into “reduced acceleration”. Part is on back order with no estimated ship date. Some owners are reporting wait times of 3 months or more. No loaner provided, was told truck is “safe to drive”. With reduced acceleration the truck struggles to get up to speed and has hard time maintaining even 65mph. It’s compounded when towing, making it near impossible to maintain pace with highway traffic. My vehicle is basically rendered useless as I use it regularly for highway commute and also towing. The vehicle may be “safe” in that it won’t blow up, but it’s certainly not safe to drive when it can’t maintain even the speed limit. If a quick acceleration is needed to avoid something it’s not capable of doing that.
