general problems of the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 - part 2

The truck was a part of the l87 recall inlcuding the 6. 2l engines. It passed their pico inspection. They changed the oil. I was driving down the interstate in memphis rush hour traffic with my daughter in the backseat and suddenly lost all propulsion. The dash said please start truck. I lost all power to the engine. I had to navigate high speed traffic and merge lanes safely. The cars stuck behind me, myself and family, and others nearby could've been in a wreck because of this issue. We were stuck on the side of the interstate waiting for a tow truck. It was towed to the nearby dealer where it sat waiting for the engine to be replaced for a couple of months. We are extremely lucky that the large trucks did not run us over. Gm has since replaced the engine with another remanufactured engine that is already making noises similar to the one it had before. What is going to happen when we are in an accident due to gm's negligence and continued issues with this engine?.

Constant engine issues. Cams, lifters, now needs new motor. Motor apparently unavailable.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at speeds over 20 mph, the vehicle began shaking and the transmission shifted prematurely and hard. The contact stated that the check engine, traction control, abs, transmission, and other unknown warning lights were intermittently illuminated. The contact stated that on one occasion while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to slow down as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

2022 GMC sierra has a p1098 code. This code has to do with a faulty coolant control valve. This causes the engine fan to run constantly and displays on the screen "reduced acceleration, drive with caution". The truck does not have any power when this happens, which is 99% of the time. This makes using the truck very difficult in high traffic areas and pulling a loaded trailer. Apparently gm knows about this and is not getting the part to correct the problem to the dealerships in a timely manner. My truck was diagnosed with this problem over 2 weeks ago and still waiting on the part.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph hauling a trailer going downhill, the engine seized. The vehicle was difficult to control. The message to “shift to neutral and restart" was displayed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The driver attempted to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the running boards were stuck outwards. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v274000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where the engine was replaced after two months. The dealer informed the contact that the battery was completely drained. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 67,500.

My truck is under the national recall from GMC for the 6. 2l engine problems. I even received the recall notice from GMC stating this. This truck has been in and out of the shop for engine problems things I took delivery of it in 2022. The latest was in April of 2025 and while it was in the repair service at the dealership, the national recall came out. During that time the dealership tried to tell me the problem was with my exhaust system so I was not covered under the recall. I knew they were not being truthful so I refused to take possession of the truck as I new it had all the symptoms that GMC was describing in my recall notice. My truck sat at the dealership for almost 5 months and last week they force me to take possession of my truck my taking back my "loaner vehicle". They stated "my truck passed the required inspection", which I knew they were being dishonest, but was forced to take the truck back anyway. Three days after taking possession I was on the interstate doing 60 mph and the engine totally seized up and almost caused an accident from the vehicles behind me running into me because of the sudden decrease in speed. I was able to safely pull over and had to get towed back to the dealership. This incident is beyond just a engine recall now because they new my truck was not safe to drive and forced me to take back my truck. Im just thankful I was driving and not my wife, or having my two grandchildren in the truck with me. To make mtters worse in this scenerio, this truck is actually my replacement truck because my 2021 truck had to be taken back per the lemon law in 2022, so this will now be truck #2 being lemon law and my original truck loan isnt even paid off. I have all of the various engine repair paperwork on this truck dating back to 2022.

The cam sensor failed and the reluctor ring was chipped. They could not determine without spending hours taking a part the engine if it was a piece of metal from the current recall that chipped off and broke the reluctor ring. No problems until immediate failure and had to had the car towed to the shop to identify issue.

My daughter and I drove to town to run some errands, we live twenty-three minutes away and take the freeway. Speed limit on that specific section of the freeway (i80) is 80mph. As I was taking the on-ramp to enter traffic, my GMC started shifted very hard and losing power. The vehicle was sputtering and making strange sounds. I was unable to exceed 60mph due to excessive vibrations/shaking the vehicle. Steering was starting to be difficult at the same time I noticed oil pressure gauge slowly dropping on instrument panel below 25psi. I had to pull over immediately. Oil pressure remained lower than normal, verified oil was filled to manufactures specifications (changed June 30, 2025). Returned the vehicle to my place of residence as safe and slow as I possibly could and parked it as it is a major safety concern.

See attached document for complaint. Text from attached document: unacceptable delays in repair: we have contacted 2 local dealerships, both of which have informed us that the necessary parts are unavaila ble and cannot provide a clear time line for when repairs will be completed. Leesburg Buick GMC hummer (country Buick GMC at time of vehicle purchase) joyce koons Buick GMC (service manager: michael nguyen) • poor communication from we have received no follow-up communication from gm regarding the status of the recall or expected resolution. We have contacted gm twice by phone using the number provided in the recall notice. During the first call, we were transferred to a dealer in arizona- despite resid ing in virginia. On our second call, on 8/2, we were informed that our case had been escalated and that we would be contacted within 24-48 hours. As of now, we have not received any return phone call. • ongoing safety concerns: we are unable to drive the vehicle due to the risk of engine failure, which compromises our safety and that of others on the road.

The vehicle’s shift control module in the transmission is malfunctioning. The vehicle is shifting hard and having trouble finding the gears. The safety issue is that this is a known GMC transmission malfunction with the risk that the rear wheels can lock up when downshifting in the higher gears. Sudden rear wheels lock up proses a risk to cause an accident on the roadway potentially harming the driver and passengers in the defective vehicle as well as risking other drivers on the road. No warnings were given before the malfunction. The vehicle has been regularly serviced on time and taken care of. The malfunction began and within one week the vehicle progressed to shifting so hard I didn’t feel comfortable driving it especially with my child in tow.

The radiator needs to be replaced on the 3. 0l due to a leak in the seam of the radiator. The dealer has stated that they have had a few in the shop recently due to the same issue. There are a lot of complaints online that have the same issue, and customers have had to pay $3000 for the same replacement.

Pulling away from a stop sign when we were driving, and when I started to excelerate the truck it just died. We were at a busy intersection and was able to pull off the road into a parking lot and had aaa come and tow the truck and took it to poages auto plaza, quincy IL. This could have been really serious had we been on a busier road. We tried to restart the vehical and it would not start. We are going to need a loaner vehical preferrably a truck.

Due to GMC not having a fix for the safety recall to repair the potential engine failure, we are unsafe driving our car. This has been in effect since April and still no fix is available. We feel extremely unsafe driving this car due to this issue.

This truck is burning oil faster than it takes us to do an oil change we have to check it once a week to make sure it had oil in it. I have seen online I am not the only one having this issue this year make and model. I want to report this problem.

I was notified by GMC of recall n25249000 by letter in may 2025. Shortly after I scheduled an appointment with my gm dealer to get the recall repaired but the dealer told me that gm has not told them how to repair the issue. The gm dealer told me they would let me know when gm tells the dealer how to repair the issue, so I could bring the vehicle back to repair the recall. I just received another notice from GMC about the recall today (08/11/2025). It has been roughly 4 months of waiting to get this recall fixed on my vehicle.

The coolant control valve is defective and the part is on back order with gm and dealer can’t tell me when part will be available because general motors doesn’t know. Dealer has had my vehicle for three weeks and because of gm can’t tell me anything new.

Engine has had recall and still no remedy for it. Paint is chipping off and back locks stopped workingp.

The incident occurred during a journey from sacramento, CA, to winchester, CA, a distance of approximately 486 miles in my 2022 GMC sierra at4, equipped with the recalled 6. 2l v8 engine, which has accumulated around 61,000 miles. I was driving when a loud bang caught my attention over the music. After that, I heard swooshing sounds three times before the engine lost power. I was able to move over to the right shoulder throughout heavy traffic; I managed to make it safely. During the maneuvering of my truck to the shoulder, I noticed on the dashboard that the vehicle was telling me to shift the vehicle to neutral and start it. I shifted the vehicle to neutral, but it did not start. Upon inspecting the fuses and battery for any obvious issues, I proceeded to check the harmonic balancer for signs of engine seizing. The engine had completely locked up.

Unloaded my denali at huge loss with 30,000 miles because gm wouldn’t fix recall after many times in shop, broke down on freeway, and need to travel to canada on business. Canada won’t allow vehicles with open safety recalls to enter country even though im pretty sure engine was made in canada. Gm corporate office told me there’s nothing they can do. While in shop for 4 days of testing I watched vehicle on app, never started, moved, just put out back for 4 days then told absolutely nothing. Just wanted fair trade in for diesel. Truck looked identical to brand new on lot, 10/10 except engine recall. Gm promised to reimburse rental fees when broke down a week or so, submitted documents to gm, nothing recieved. Bought ram instead for obvious reasons. Is there a lemon law, class action, agency etc that can help compensate for losses? the public should be warned!.

The engine on my 22 sierra began knocking at 23,000 miles . The engine I have is a 6. 2. It was already scheduled for a front grill recall at the dealer and I had concerns for the knocking issues. I had no lights on the dash or a performance issue at the time. The dealer said they heard the knocking and wanted to take the oil filter off to confirm engine failure. The found metal shavings in the filter and it needed a new engine. They said if I kept driving it the engine would have locked up . Luckily I cought it in time and avoided an accident on the highway. This is a huge safety issue.

Truck was traveling through atlanta when engine shut off and was not responsive. Was able to get truck off the interstate (i285 ramp to i75). Truck would not turn over. Pushed the onstar button, they stated they couldn't diagnose the truck. They called a wrecker and got truck to a local GMC dealer(capitol GMC). Truck was approx. 90 mile away from home. Dealer called on Monday 4/21 and stated that the engine was locked up and would need a new engine.

While stopped at a light at a busy intersection the truck wouldn’t drive. There were no prior indications to there be an issue, no noises, no check engine lights. The intersection is a multiple lane route with high speed and traffic with rear end collision possible. The truck was determined to have a blown motor.

Engine had already had a full replacement within the first 35,000 miles. Driving down the road at 55 mph and engine stops completely. Have to coast into a neighborhood. Luckily I was able to get out of the road. Pulled over and turn the truck off. Tried to start it and it never would turn over. Came back an hour later to see if it just needed turn off for a bit and restarted. Tried to start it and it started right up. Drove it around the block and then decided to drive to an auto store to test the battery. Before I could get to the store the truck shut off again while driving in the middle of the busiest road in town during rush hour traffic. Had it towed to the dealership and they said I need an engine replacement. This 6. 2 motor is completely unreliable and a hazard to anyone driving it. No warning lights, no indication it was going to fail. I keep up with all my maintenance. I drive under control and at the speed limit and I don't tow anything.

The engine went out while driving on the highway. Was driving around 60 mph. I almost gone to an accident. Gm seemed like they knew of the problem but did not warn none of their customers of this problem. Car only had around 35,000 miles. Gm however did swap out the engine. I want to sell and or trade it in, however the year and model lost its value due to the fact of the faulty engines.
