general problems of the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

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.

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.

The coolant control valve or ccv failed. Initially it caused coolant to leak and the trucks fans would run on high even when the truck was turned off. The truck would sporadically raise temp and DE rate the engine. Now the check engine light comes on with the engine being DE rated. This is similar to the other 21 and 22 year model that Chevrolet has warrantied.

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.

Since brand new engine has had oil consumption issues. Countless times I have been told it is ok and there is no problems with it. I took it to a different dealer and I am now being told I need to replace pistons and rings.

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.

Engine seized up at 70 mph on highway. Loss of all power and was lucky to coast off road in heavy traffic. Vehicle had just passed safety recall inspection two weeks earlier. Replacement engine installed at dealership, but it failed and second replacement engine currently being installed.

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.
