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.

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.

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.

When I shift the transmission into park. , turn off the ignition, there is an error message - shift into park. Even though I shifted into park, the power stays on, ie stereo, lights, hvac etc. This is putting a strand on the battery, and computer systems. I now have a list of bcm codes - no communications. Dealer says it will take 2-3 days w/appointment all the vehicles (volt & bolt have national recall for the same problem) it is a shifter micro switch the whole shifter assembly needs to be replaced. As I leave the truck, the warning beeper keeps blaring. I'm afraid someone could steal the truck.
