I want to start off by saying that I have taken meticulous care of this vehicle and the intention was to keep this truck forever. However, that will not be possible after this incident. I was driving the vehicle at 60 mph when I noticed smoke coming out of the back of the vehicle and at that moment, the dash cluster started warning to shut off the engine immediately due to a lack of oil. I know there was plenty of oil in the engine because I just had the oil changed at a shop two weeks prior to the incident. I was able to verify that it was a total of 22 seconds from the time I noticed the smoke to the time I was able to pull off safely and shut the engine off. At that time, the engine had not seized, and I was able to manually shut off the engine on my own. I never tried to restart the engine and I had it towed to a shop that was nearby. 48 hours later the mechanic inspected it and discovered that the oil cooling line had somehow disconnected from the engine block, which had resulted in a catastrophic loss of oil. When that repair was made, the mechanic discovered that the engine would not start either by hand or automatically and deemed the engine to be seized. The engine in question is the Chevrolet 6.2L L87 engine that was involved in a manufacturer recall for models made in 2020 through 2024. My vehicle is the 2019 model and although there have been numerous occasions that I’ve been able to find in only a short period of research that revealed similar issues with a 2019

6.2 gas Engine was knocking and shaking while driving it Engine is currently being replaced , but not finished yet Mechanic thinks some rod bearings are bad and maybe some pushrods No warning lights came on
I Was traveling home one night and the truck shut off while driving and lost all power, loosing all steering, braking power aswell as all my lights while traveling down the road in the dark. . When I went to start it again all I would get was a cranking noise but no firing. After 30 minutes of waiting the truck started again. In which I drove it 3 more miles before it shut down again. After that it would not crank nor start. I then had the vehicle towed to my local Chevrolet dealer, and they had notified me that the engine had failed and locked up. In the process it had also taken out the FPCM (fuel pump control module) aswell as the high pressure fuel pump located on top of the motor. Causing me to have a new motor from GM installed. I had no previous problems or lights before this had happened.
I have a 2019 Chevrolet trialboss with a 5.3 L engine and the lifters went out on this vehicle! Now it’s needs a new engine! And there seems to be a huge trend with this.
I am filing this complaint to report a critical manufacturing safety defect regarding the rear differential in my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. During a recent dealership inspection at approximately 40,400 miles, an authorized GM service center (Jack Hanania Chevrolet) discovered that the vehicle's rear differential was completely "bone dry" of gear oil . Because there is no history of catastrophic fluid leaks, seal blowouts, or external damage, this strongly indicates that the rear differential was either never filled or improperly filled with lubricant at the factory during vehicle assembly. This issue originally presented as a persistent drivetrain vibration, shudder, and "skipping" sensation starting as early as 12,000 miles . I brought the vehicle to the dealership for this exact vibration at approximately 21,000 miles. The dealership misdiagnosed the issue as "low transmission fluid" (despite the transmission being a sealed system) and failed to inspect the rear differential . The symptoms persisted until the vehicle was immobilized in November 2025, which is when the bone-dry rear differential was finally discovered . A vehicle operating with an empty rear differential poses an extreme and immediate safety hazard. The lack of lubrication causes severe internal heat and friction, inevitably leading to a sudden, catastrophic mechanical seizure of the rear axle . If the rear wheels lock up while driving at highway speeds, it will cause an immediate loss of vehicle contro
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle required an oil change every 1,000 miles driven due to excessive oil consumption. Additionally, there was an abnormally loud sound coming from the lifters. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed with excessive oil consumption and failures with the lifters. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 198,000.
Number 3 Lifter spun into housing & ruined camshaft, send metal throughout engine. On trip to another state pickup started ticking, service motor light, service parking brake light and service traction icons came on and also messages on them. Had to drive slow to get to next town. Decided to go back home six hours away, very slow the ticking became knocking. Pulled over multiple times. Contacted dealer to look at next morning. In shop about two months. Dealer said Number 3 lifter spun into housing and ruined camshaft that sent metal throughout engine. Had to have engine replaced for $12172.42. Dealer replaced engine and other parts that needed replacing also. Our trip was ruined and had to purchase a cheap used pickup to get to and from work. Could only travel under a certain speed without ticking and knocking. Had to take different roads home because of slow speed. Trip had to postpone because of this motor issue. All icons, messages, ticking and slower speed all happened at same time. Had no warnings ahead of anything wrong.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the back over prevention camera displayed a blue screen with the message “Camera Service Required” displayed. The failure was intermittent at first but became a permanent failure. The sensor for the hood latch displayed the message that the hood was not closed, even though the hood was securely closed. The contact stated that the remote starter failed due to the hood latch sensor failure. The contact was unsure if the two failures were related. The dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the failures were not covered under warranty. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
. I bought this truck for my husband as a birthday present & it has been a nightmare. My husband is a [XXX] & I wanted a vehicle that he would be comfortable in to take him to his numerous medical appointments. The first indication was the check engine light came on. I took to to O'Reillys & they scanned the vehicle & no issue was detected. I then had several instances where the vehicle would not start & one instance when it would not go into reverse & the truck was making a noise from the underbody. The windshield washer unit also was not working. I then took it back to the Ford dealership where it was purchased. They ran a scan at the dealership & said there was nothing wrong. They then indicated that I should take it to a Chevy dealer which I did. They stated that Chevy has a special scan that the previous scans cannot access. I documented all the issues and the Chevy dealership found 8 issues including the transmission, holes in the struts, software issues, washer pump, grille shutter & loose battery cables. The Ford dealership agreed to fix the struts & the washer pump as well as the diagnostic testing. I thought we were going to be able to resolve the transmission and the grille shutter issue but that has not happened. The defective grille shutter is what is activating the check engine light. The Ford dealership charged me for fixing the battery cables and yet they were needed to be done again. They also told me that the grille shutter was not necessary as I could drive
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Transmission Fluid Overheat" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the TCM had failed and needed to be replaced. The TCM was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. After retrieving the vehicle, the vehicle failed to immediately reverse as needed. The vehicle hesitated before reversing. The failure later occurred while driving forward, and the vehicle jerked while driving from being stationary. The contact stated that the failure was also present during cold starts. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 128,000.
Oil leaking from the oil cooling lines where the rubber hoses connect to the metal lines. Thankfully caught before the rubber hoses completely blew out of the crimp. GM issued two Customer Satisfaction Programs (N212326940 & N192220080) for this issue, neither of which covered my vehicle. Clearly this was a much bigger issue. This is a safety issue as it can lead to a sudden oil loss, which could lead to a loss of propulsion, possibly leading to a crash. The oil is spread across the under side of the vehicle and could lead to a fire if it comes in contact with the exhaust.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message "Oil Level Low - Turn off Vehicle Immediately" was displayed. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed a burning odor coming from under the hood, with an abnormal engine oil leak. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the engine oil cooler line had detached. The vehicle was repaired out of pocket. Upon further investigation, the contact related the failure to the Chevrolet Customer Satisfaction Program: N212326940 and Chevrolet Customer Satisfaction Program: N192220080; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
I own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado with approximately 84,000 miles. Prior to the engine failure, I noticed abnormal engine ticking noise, especially during cold starts. I reported this concern to the dealership during a service visit. The technician verified the engine noise but stated that the noise was normal and no repairs were performed. Over time the condition worsened and the vehicle began experiencing engine misfires and internal engine damage. Diagnostic inspection later revealed oil contamination and cylinder wall scoring requiring full engine replacement. Additionally, while driving on a public street, the serpentine belt suddenly came off the engine without warning. This created an immediate safety concern because the belt powers critical systems such as power steering and engine cooling. Losing these systems while driving could cause loss of vehicle control. At the time of the incident, my children were in the vehicle and there were pedestrians and other drivers on the road. The sudden mechanical failure created a dangerous situation that could have resulted in a crash or injury. No warning lights or messages appeared on the dashboard prior to the engine failure, and the check engine light never illuminated. Because the engine concern had previously been reported and dismissed as normal, the problem continued to worsen until catastrophic engine damage occurred. I am submitting this complaint because I am concerned that this may not be an isolated issue and that simi
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the rear wheels locked upon depressing the brake pedal without warning. The contact temporarily lost control of the vehicle, and the rear wheels skidded, almost causing a crash. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to the residence, where it remained. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that there were no recalls related to the VIN. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V148000 (POWER TRAIN); however, upon contacting the dealer, the dealer claimed that there was no knowledge of the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.
Bearing and Engine failure, Had to pay out of pocket for a new engine at 78,000 miles. The problem was diagnosed by my local dealer Denoyer Chevrolet in holland Mi. There was no warning lamps, messages, nor symptoms. Dealer had all the info on date, inspection and repair. Engine failures like this are very dangerous as they can cause catastrophic injury or damage. General Motors should be held accountable and made to pay back customers for there damaged products.
My 2019 truck with 50k miles on it, broke down and nearly caused an accident. The safety recall for the wiring harness chafing was not assigned to my VIN. I had vehicle towed to find out my loss of power and 17 error codes were due to the wires rubbing due to improperly installed by the dealer per this NHTSA. I called the 1800 number for Chevy and they told me my VIN wasn’t “Picked” to be part of this recall. I asked why, my vehicle did exactly what recall said. They said sorry we can’t do anything. I could have died the way the truck acted. I need a complaint filed and assistance having the dealer add my VIN to this recall. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Power Train available for inspection upon request? Truck came to a full stop while trying too just slow down to merge in to left turn lane, tried to move truck into turn lane but truck struggled to move finally after several attempts the truck moved just enough to get it in our cul-de-sac and then the truck would not move forward or backward. husband had to set in truck to wait on the tow truck to keep traffic from running in to truck, had truck towed to Mark Allen Dealership Mark Allen Chevrolet Dealership was unable to reproduce the Problem by driving truck several days Mark Allen Dealership can better answer this question, I have only taken it to Mark Allen Dealership No warning signs of any kind I do not understand why we have not received a recall on our truck for the transmission locking up unexpectedly like others have been recalled for
Driving down road Truck quit, no warning. Left granddaughter stranded on road. Towed to gm dealership. Diagnosis was complete engine failure. Vehicle is there now waiting for decision to repair.
Vehicle power steering went out while driving as I almost crashed through the corner. My anti-skid light came on on the dash along with a message saying service power steering drive with care and a message saying service ESC. Upon further investigation, it appears the ground strap connecting the frame to the passenger side wheel well is corroded camming electrical problems with the power steering, etc. Apparently my Vin number does not qualify for replacement on my 2019 truck even though it’s still in their warranty Chevy should replace these straps for free. The dealer wants to charge $300 for a diagnostic fee in around $300 for another repair. However mine is under warranty, but I feel like I should not have to pay a diagnostic fee. It should be covered as a recall. I have attached pictures of the codes from the dealership computer.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH on the highway, the vehicle started vibrating abnormally. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning light was illuminated. The vehicle remained operable, but the vibration remained constant. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Motor only has 41000 miles and uses 1 quart of oil every 700 miles
Driving my truck and I suddenly got a warning on my dashboard that said, "Low Oil Pressure. Turn Engine Off." I pulled over immediately, shut off the the engine and called for a tow. Dealership called to let me know the engine was seized and would cost $22,270 to repair. Looking online I found that Chevy had released a Customer Service Program (CSP) detailing that the oil coolant lines in 2019 Silverado 1500 could have a weak / defective crimp holding the oil coolant line onto the connector and could separate causing catastrophic oil loss. It is also stated in the CSP that cold weather makes the issue more likely. I have tried getting GM to cover the repair since they knew about the issue and never contacted me to make the fix. GM is maintaining that they did nothing wrong and that my VIN is not listed as one of the vehicles in need of repair. This, despite the acknowledgement of the CSP and that the CSP "is for the dealerships." Which I pointed out the correction listed was for me to have the oil lines replaced and that never happened. I also pointed out as they said this wouldn't have been listined on my VIN because it was for dealerships and yet no one: not GM, not the dealership I bought the truck from, nor the dealership that regularly serviced my truck mentioned the oil line issue to me.
Oil cooler line leak.
Oil cooler lines are leaking oil. A known GM issue with many owner complaints online. Transmission issues. Motor issues. electrical issues. brake issues. These particular trucks have many issues and nobody is taking responsibility for the issues.
I’d like to report a serious, ongoing safety concern with my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado (5.3 V8 53,028 mi) since Dec 2025. Over the last 4 months, I have experienced at least 20 engine failures/loss of power, with no engine light illuminated after restarting truck. These failures result in a complete loss of power, including steering and braking, posing a significant risk of a crash. Chevy said it would be hard to diagnose with no engine warning light on. Feb 24th, engine failure, warning light stayed on and towed truck to Chevy. Truck on standby, repaired Mar 10th, replacing 2 oxygen sensors per Diagnostics. Picked it up on March 11th, but engine shutdown again the same day and 4 additional failures while driving in my neighborhood, making the truck undrivable. I reached out to Chevy service supervisor, Juliana, but have received no response for the last 10 days. I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect as it poses a severe safety risk. Thank you for your urgent attention.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated on three occasions while driving at various speeds, there was a clunking or clicking sound coming from the engine compartment, before the vehicle lost power.

I am reporting a catastrophic internal engine failure in a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at 87,600 miles. Prior to this event, there were NO warning lights or symptoms. While traveling alone during the holiday on a remote, one-lane road with no shoulder, the vehicle suddenly suffered a loss of power. Every warning light on the dashboard illuminated at once, followed by shaking, misfiring, and loud knocking from the engine. Because I was on a one-lane road with no place to pull over, this created an immediate safety hazard for me and oncoming traffic. I had the car towed to the dealership ( where I bought the truck) confirmed the failure was a collapsed lifter and scored camshaft (which i found out to be a known design flaw in the 5.3L DFM engine). The dealer said it was not under warranty. I felt held over a barrel by the dealership; they initially provided an inflated quote and told me it would cost approximately $1,200, not including tax and shop fees, just to put the engine back together if I wanted to tow it elsewhere for a second opinion. I was forced to pay over $8,395 under protest just to regain use of my primary vehicle after 42 days of downtime. Upon completion, the dealer provided a "Lifetime Warranty" on the replacement parts. This is a tacit admission that these components were never intended to fail during the life of the vehicle. GM refuses to include this vehicle in its coverage list, treating a dangerous engine stall as a simple "out of warranty" repair. This
My husband, [XXX] son, my [XXX] mother-in-law, and I were traveling on the expressway at approximately 70 miles per hour in our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L engine when the dashboard suddenly lit up with warning lights and alarms. My husband looked in the rear-view mirror and saw a large amount of smoke coming from the truck. We immediately had to cross two lanes of heavy traffic to reach the shoulder and get off the roadway safely. When I opened my door, I could see that engine oil was pouring from the truck and running down the expressway. We were stranded on the side of the expressway for over an hour before my brother was able to come pick us up. The tow truck company advised that it would take several hours before they could arrive. During that time, vehicles continued traveling at highway speeds and did not slow down despite our disabled truck being on the shoulder. The truck was shaking from the wind and force of cars and trucks passing by at high speeds. This created an extremely dangerous situation, particularly with our [XXX] child and my elderly mother-in-law in the vehicle. The truck was eventually towed to a local repair shop, where the mechanic determined that the engine oil cooler line had broken at the crimp, causing a significant oil leak. The repair required replacement of the oil cooler lines and related components at a cost of $2,109.92. Had we continued driving even briefly, the engine likely could have been severely damaged or destroyed du
Incident Description: While driving at highway speeds, the oil cooling lines on my vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure, resulting in a total loss of engine oil within seconds. To ensure my safety and avoid being stranded in high-speed traffic, I proceeded less than a quarter-mile to reach the nearest exit. During the cooling process after the vehicle was stopped, the engine seized due to extreme thermal damage caused by the sudden lack of lubrication. Safety Risk: The sudden and total loss of engine oil at highway speeds presents a significant safety hazard. It creates an immediate risk of sudden engine stall or seizure while in traffic, which could lead to a high-speed collision. Furthermore, a high-volume oil leak onto hot engine components represents a severe fire risk. Technical Evidence & Manufacturer Response: There are existing Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for this specific vehicle model that explicitly identify these oil cooling lines as a known failure point. These TSBs state that failure to replace these lines can lead to the engine becoming non-functional. Despite this documented manufacturing defect and the clear safety implications of a sudden engine failure on a highway, Chevrolet has refused to provide a remedy, insisting that the engine replacement be paid for out-of-pocket. Requested Action: I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this known defect for a potential safety recall, as the failure of these lines constitutes a predictable and dangerou

The contact stated that upon arriving to the DMV parking lot to register the vehicle, the contact compared the VIN the dealer had initially provided prior to the purchase, to the VIN listed on the title and on the vehicle. The contact discovered that there was a VIN discrepancy. The contact contacted an independent mechanic retrieved a Carfax Report of the VIN listed on the title and informed the contact that the actual vehicle mileage was 182,041. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the vehicle mileage was 72,409; however, the Carfax Report confirmed that the actual mileage was 182,041. The seller was contacted but failed to respond and had ended communications with the contact.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 30-35 MPH and exiting the interstate with a speed limit of 55 MPH, the instrument panel, check engine, stability control, and several other warning lights illuminated. The vehicle felt like there was a misfire coming from the engine. The contact pulled into the nearest parking lot and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, while not exceeding 25 - 30 MPH. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the camshaft was damaged, and the valve lifters had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer opened a case regarding the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.
Engine oil cooler line leaking at the crimps.
I have had to put my vehicle in the shop for transmission repair. The first time it was in the shop for over a month to only get it back and have the same issue. Now the shop is telling me that GM is having a system glitch and they are unable to program it.
Vehicle info: 2019 Silverado 1500 6.2L engine with 66,xxx miles. On 3/1/26 While towing my small snowmobile trailer I was driving on I-90 with cruise control set at 65 mph. Very suddenly and shockingly I heard an extremely loud knocking noise from the engine. I then witnessed several driver info messages stating things like "low oil pressure" "engine power reduced" among others and a check engine light. Amongst freeway traffic and now under no engine power and coasting I made an emergency lane change out of the passing lane and into the right lane and subsequently on to the shoulder of the interstate. Oil pressure was also noted to be very low during these events. I called a friend to pick me up off the side of the freeway and also had a local towing company get my truck and trailer off the side of the highway asap. This was a dangerous scenario and could've ended much worse. The vehicle is now at my residence and I am not sure what steps to take right now. As I am very aware of the current recall on similar models with the same engine. I have followed the issues and complaints of these trucks and suvs with the L87 6.2L engine closely. I was under the impression that my vehicle was not included in the recall and I have always been very diligent about vehicle maintenance. I've been watching my truck closely for abnormal noises, power or oil pressure loss or any other strange symptoms I have not noticed any warning signs. I even recently switched to the new dexos approved 0w-40
Engine oil cooler line leaks and crimping does not hold hose tight enough and slipped off crimp fitting. line came completely off of crimp fitting and leaked all engine oil. Forced engine to be turned off and low engine oil marked on dash.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 15 MPH and turning left, the low oil pressure and several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over into a parking lot. The contact stated that there was no oil in the engine. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic associated the failure with NHTSA ID Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado has experienced repeated engine issues, including a confirmed timing chain failure. The vehicle has been taken in for repairs approximately 6–7 times for the same or related engine problems. Most concerning, the vehicle has stalled while driving, creating a serious safety hazard. Loss of power while in motion puts me and others at risk of an accident. Despite multiple repair attempts, the issue has not been permanently resolved. The timing chain failure is a major engine defect and not expected for a vehicle of this age and mileage. I am filing this complaint due to the safety risk associated with engine stalling and failure.
Brakes lock down at approximately 45 miles per hour
I was proceeding down the interstate when several of my dash lights came on to include the check engine light and the ABS light. My truck defaulted to a restriction of 62 mph and I lost majority of my brakes. I had to apply brute force to be able to get of the exit and to the Dealership. The dealership reprogrammed my truck’s system and charged me 300 dollars. I believe this is the same issue that has plagued many other Chevy trucks in the same model year.
Transmission failed while in drive and going up a hill.

Engine Oil cooler line
I have a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado LT 1500 with only 19K Miles. When I brought this vehicle I was having problems with hearing a loud clunking noise coming from the rear of the Vehicle. Every Time I Stop at a red light, stop at a stop sign, yield at a yield sign, and slow down to turn in my driveway I can hear this clunking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. If someone is riding in the backseat of the vehicle, they can feel the clunking noise every time I hit the brakes or slow down. After doing some research I honestly believe it’s the drive shaft that is on my vehicle that is causing this issue. Also, my vehicle does a hesitation when trying to accelerate on the gas pedal, which the drive shaft can cause this issue as well. There is a recall against this issue (Drive Shaft) but my Vin Number doesn’t call for a recall, I believe my vin number was missed in this recall. This is very dangerous because my Drive Shaft can drop beneath my vehicle while driving on the roads or highways and can cause my Truck to loose control and get into a serious accident or fatal accident. All I want is to have the Chevrolet Dealership to repair my Drive Shaft for free, because Chevrolet states that they will fixed all the drive shaft that is on recall on there time and the customer doesn’t have to pay anything. Please follow up on this serious matter. I don’t feel safe driving my truck anymore, so I keep it parked in my garage. PS : I took my truck in several times to three Chevrolet Dea
As i was driving down the highway the engine warning light came on and engine quit running immediately so i began to pull off of the road but couldn't get all the way off so it was sticking out on the highway i did put in park and checked oil level which was good, so i was going to try to push vehicle off the road more because there was semi-trucks and other vehicles going by at a high rate of speed but the shifter would not shift unless vehicle was running. so for the safety of my wife and myself we had to stand off into the ditch for about an hour waiting for help hoping no one slammed into our vehicle and there was some close calls. after getting the truck back to my home i then trailered it to a repair shop called Eagle Chevrolet in Chadron Nebraska where i was told the bearing in the engine had spun and it is very common on the engine in my truck which is an 6.2 L87 ENGINE and there is recalls on the same engine but only for the year 2022 and up and mine is a 2019 and was given a quote for Repair which is over $10,000.00
The oil cooler lines cracked due to cold weather and oil spouted out of the engine. Truck was immediately pulled over when the chime went off, however the engine still seized up and needs to be replaced. No warning lights before, just the chime at 0 oil pressure. I see that Canada and Alaska has this part recalled and I want to know why it’s not recalled everywhere. No oil was leaking prior to this incident. This left us stranded on the side of the highway and we now have to purchase a new engine with only 65,000 miles on it.
Took it to Chevy dealer for oil cooler lines to be replaced I have been in touch with gm since my truck wasn’t under any open recalls to try to get some of the money back for the oil cooler lines since gm has had a big problem with them losing oil
