One day when headed out of town I stopped and got gas immediately once getting back on the highway my dash lit up like a christmas tree, driving became uncomfortable as it sputtered when trying to give gas. I looked up a couple of the dash warning lights and it alluded to emission problems. I take the truck to the mechanic and he says that a head is cracked and the cam shaft needs to be repaired. This issue came out of nowhere, no prior issues as far as over heating or any dash lights on.

Component/system failure and availability for inspection: while driving at 70 miles per hour on the interstate, the vehicle suffered a complete loss of oil pressure. The engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle simultaneously stopped operating. The vehicle and its components are available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: this failure posed a severe risk to my safety and the safety of others. The sudden and complete loss of engine function at highway speed could easily have resulted in a serious accident. I was fortunate the incident occurred in an area that was not heavily populated at the time. Under different circumstances, this failure could have led to life-threatening consequences. Reproduction/confirmation of the problem: the issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, but the nature of the failure was sudden, significant, and left the vehicle inoperable. Inspection by others: the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, but it remains available for review. Warning lamps/messages/symptoms: the only indicator prior to the failure was the immediate illumination of the engine light as the oil pressure dropped. This warning appeared at the same moment the vehicle lost power and stopped operating, leaving no opportunity to respond before the vehicle was disabled. Numerous comments and complaints with the same issue. Cust satisfaction n212326940, does it take someone getting injured or dying before this administration makes the compnay do the right thing?.

While driving "no oil pressure" alarm went off on my 2019 Chevrolet silverado. I had to immediately pull off to the side of the road, upon inspection the oil cooler line separated at the crimp joint. This is the exact failure mode as described in "n212326940 - customer satisfaction engine oil cooler lines detaching from crimp". I have my truck at a gm dealership and they said my VIN is not included on the TSB. I also contacted gm customer service and was told the same that my VIN was not effected by this issue. My failure is the same mode as the documented issue, it has to be related to part quality issue as described on n212326940. The gm dealership is charging me $2000 to replace the line.

Purchased new and service maintained. At 65,000 miles all warning lights came on and truck began to misfire and lost power. Was taken to a garage where it was determined to have bad lifters and camshaft. Warranty just expired and now it needs a new engine.

I am filing a formal complaint regarding a serious safety concern with my 2021 Chevrolet silverado, following the completion of recall n252494001 performed by galleria Chevrolet in dallas, TX. Prior to this recall work and related inspections, my vehicle operated without any abnormal engine noise. After the recall inspection and a subsequent fuel injector repair performed by the dealer, my vehicle began producing a bottom-end engine noise that had never been present before, and ultimately we have catastrophic engine failure. What is highly concerning is that the dealership staff previously documented the situation in writing as follows: “we performed the recall inspection and the truck passed. After performing an injector repair now there is a bottom-end noise when it's running. Did the failed injector possibly affect the validity of the test? that may be the case. We know that the truck did not experience the noise before the inspection; is it possible that the steps we took affected the truck in a way that got the noise to show itself? that’s what we need to determine. ” despite this acknowledgment, the dealership is now denying any responsibility, classifying the damage as unrelated “wear and tear”. This reversal appears highly suspicious, as it contradicts their own observations and written notes. It suggests that the dealership and gm may be refusing to fulfill their obligations under the recall and repair warranty, leaving me with a vehicle that has a blown engine and a significant safety risk. Given the timing of the noise, occurring directly after recall work and injector repair, and the internal documentation from the dealership itself, I request NHTSA investigate whether: this issue is part of a broader trend affecting other vehicles under the same recall. Gm and its dealers are properly honoring their obligations to fully repair vehicles impacted by recalls. Consequential damage resulting from recall work is being systematically denied coverage.

At 5,750 mi. The 6. 2 gas engine seized due to connecting rod bearings. The dealer replaced the engine, cooling system and oil cooling system under warranty with a similar engine. I am of the opinion that it could have been at least partly due to the low viscosity motor oil that the manufacturer insists upon to maintain the factory warranty, 0-w20 synthetic, along with a poorly engineered fuel management system. Also, once the vehicle was stopped and put into park, the electronically controlled transmission refused to change gears, to be put into neutral, in order to be pushed out of traffic and on to a tow vehicle, it had to be dragged. The vehicle is extremely unreliable and a danger to the public.

General motors is selling vehicles that are unsafe, unreliable, and unfit for consumers. My experience shows a clear pattern of negligence, misrepresentation, and disregard for public safety. On or about April of 2021, I purchased a 2021 chevy silverado rst z71 from vetter chvrolet for about $56,000. Gm promoted this vehicle as safe and dependable. Within the short 4 years of owning this truck, I faced major failures: engine issues, transmission problems and electrical malfunctions causing the parking break to engage on its own, at highway speeds of 70-80 mph on which nearly caused a serious accident, and failed electronic stability control (esc) system. This system helps maintain vehicle control, and a problem with it can affect braking, steering, and handling, despite following gm’s maintenance guidelines, gm delayed repairs, denied coverage on certain failures, and left me with thousands in out-of-pocket costs. The vehicle remains unreliable and unsafe. For myself and my family, 2 children under 3 years old and one on the way. This is not an isolated issue—gm has a long history of recalls and defect cover-ups. These vehicles put lives at risk, cause financial hardship, and violate consumer trust. No one should fear for their safety in a vehicle marketed as “dependable. ” this has impacted me by having : • expensive repairs • loss of transportation for extended periods • ongoing fear of driving a defective vehicle with my family in it. Loss of use of my vehicle • fear and emotional distress driving an unsafe product I have contacted gm and the dealership multiple times. Responses were dismissive, repairs were inadequate, and gm refuses accountability. Requested resolution: full reimbursement for all related costs buyback (preferred) of the vehicle or permanent repair at no cost public acknowledgment and stronger quality control. Warning to consumers: think twice before trusting gm. Their failure to correct dangerous defects shows profits matter more than safety.
