My 2025 chevy silverado zr2 has experienced the same dangerous system failure five times. While driving, every warning light on the dash activates, I lose power steering, and the vehicle completely shuts down and won’t restart. This creates an extreme safety risk — the first failure happened on a local road, but most recently, it occurred while my family was driving out of state during a holiday. The truck has now been out of service for over 50 cumulative days across these repeated incidents. Gm has accepted a lemon law claim but has not resolved it, leaving me without a vehicle and no clear path forward. These systemic failures present serious risks to me, my family, and other drivers. The latest failure occurred in July 2025, and the vehicle remains at bill cramer Chevrolet in panama city beach, FL with no resolution. I am still making loan payments and paying for transportation out-of-pocket, without any support from the manufacturer.
I was driving home from a camping trip with my children when my truck occurred a reduce speed error on the dash and the truck went into limp mode. I found out through gm onstar that the truck threw a po6dd code. The vehicle was towed to dealer and the oil pressure valve was replaced and also a wiring harness.
The "auto-stop" feature of the engine apparently automatically turns itself on every time the engine is started. There is no warning light or other indication that it is on except a very small light on the switch to shut off. The auto-stop function itself is inherently unsafe because it shuts the engine off and doesn't restart it until the operator removes his foot from the brake. . . . -sometimes it takes several seconds to restart. If you take your foot off from the pedal and then put it back on and the vehicle rolls back a bit, it may not start at all, necessitating shifting to park and manually restarting the engine. If it does start late, the engine may surge and the vehicle will lurch ahead into traffic. I have had two close calls because of the "auto-stop", once causing a semi-trailer truck to veer away to miss me. Any driver that fails to disengage the auto-stop function on engine start is putting his own and other peoples lives in danger. No feature affecting engine on-off, vehicle speed, steering , or braking should ever be engaged without a specific command by the operator of the vehicle. When it is engaged, by the operator, an amber warning light should show on the dash panel and stay on as long as that automatic feature is engaged. If not, the vehicle manufacturer should be held totally and solely responsible for any accident that occurs as a result of that feature.
Days after purchasing the vehicle brand new back in 2023, it began having issues with what they thought was the new 4 cylinder mode working itself in or electrical shifting needed to be replaced… after numerous years of being stalled out on highways, unnecessary repairs made, lose of business revenue, and more. It turned out to be a faulty engine with bad bearings, & levers. Over time, got worse & left unseen causing it to officially blow. The shutdown modes prior were all left undetected or resolved by dealership service stations. After being told of suspicious knocking since only thousands of miles out on.
