3 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2026

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.

4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2026

Code p0747 the car jerked forward twice and did not accelerate. The engine light came on. Gm said my truck was not covered under the special coverage because of my VIN although it’s got the same problem for the same truck listed.

5 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2026

On June 7th, 2026, I pulled into my driveway, and put the truck in park (did not set the parking brake, but left it running). I walked, approximately 25 feet up my driveway, towards my garage, to retrieve my garbage can, to bring it to the road. About the time I got to my garbage can, my truck proceded to roll towards me, as I walked back towards the road. I then noticed it rolling, let go of my garbage can, ran to the truck, jumped in it, hit the brakes, and I had to shift the truck back in gear, then back in park. By that time, it had already struck the support pole to my temporary car port, destroyed it, and caused a small amount of damage to the front fender of my truck (small dent, and some scratches in the front plastic). I know I did not leave it in drive, as I had to shift it into gear, then back into park, as well as the fact, that it stayed still, as I walked normally, 25 feet up the driveway. I tested the truck, after the fact. It starts rolling immediately after taking your foot off the brake, from the same spot. On a side note, my truck had just received an update download, 2 days prior to the incident. There were no warning lights. Luckily, my safety, was the only one at risk. I have not had it inspected, and it has not happened again, since. I did contact general motors, immediately, but got no response to my email. I do have a short security video, starting when I retrieved my garbage can, to the moment the truck struck the pole.

6 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2026

Escalation of recurring powertrain issue and warranty denial this statement outlines a severe, recurring safety issue with my vehicle’s 8-speed escalation of recurring powertrain issue and warranty denial transmission, which the dealership has now recommended replacing at a cost of $7,500. I am formally disputing this out-of-pocket expense due to the vehicle's repair history and its alignment with active manufacturer recalls. First incident (towed to dealership): the vehicle initially experienced severe jerking and hesitation during acceleration, which left me stranded roadside. It was towed to the dealership, where technicians diagnosed the issue as a faulty fuel injector. The injector was replaced at no cost, and I was assured the problem was resolved. Second incident (current diagnosis): the vehicle recently began exhibiting the exact same symptoms: severe jerking and acceleration hesitation. Upon returning the vehicle to the dealership, technicians diagnosed the issue as a complete transmission failure requiring a full replacement. Recall alignment: the dealership has stated that this replacement is not covered under warranty. However, this vehicle is actively experiencing every symptom outlined in the manufacturer's current 8-speed transmission recall. While my specific VIN is currently omitted from the recall list, the mechanical failure is identical to the recall parameters. Given that the underlying safety issue was present and documented during the first visit, and that the symptoms mirror an active manufacturing defect, I request that this repair be covered under goodwill or the existing safety campaign.

7 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2026

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.

The 2022 chevy silverado I own is having same problems with transmission as is the models indicated on the recall. This truck doesn’t show up on the recall and has transmission shuddering hard shifting and at times doesn’t respond as normal. This truck also underwent the 6. 2 motor recall and had a new motor added. And passed the required inspection. My question is why is this 2022 chevy silverado with the 10 speed transmission not on the recall when it is shaking the same symptoms as others on the recall.

Vehicle developed engine ticking/tapping noise followed by rough running and misfire condition. Independent repair facility performed engine teardown and found cylinder 4 exhaust camshaft lobe severely worn/damaged.

28 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2026

While turning left, the transmission stuttered and got stuck in first gear. I did some basic research and learned that this is a known issue with 2020-2022 Chevrolet silverado vehicles. I attempted the suggested fix which worked briefly. I then took the vehicle to my local Chevrolet dealer for repairs. After further research I learned that this is a known issue with my year and model of silverado. Gm further voluntarily offered a 15 year, 150,000 mile warranty for this issue. According to gm, my particular VIN is not included in this recall. I am concerned as to how many other trucks are not included. This issue also cost nearly $4,000 for the repair.

Failure Date: 02/04/2026

My wife borrowed my truck and went to costco, after backing out of the parking spot the truck sputtered and stalled in the lane of travel. The truck would not start and more importantly she was not able to get it into neutral. The truck would simply state "shift conditions not met" and would stay in park. There is no options listed in the manual to get the vehicle into neutral manually. This "shift conditions not met" bricked my truck in the entrance / exit of a busy costco. What would have happened if this happened on a main road or a freeway?.

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.

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.
