On [XXX] around [XXX], I was driving my Silverado down [XXX] near the Cottonwood Mall in Albuquerque, NM. Without warning, the engine died in the center lane of this busy highway. I turned on the emergency flashers, then while trying to call for emergency help on my phone, I stood behind the truck, waving traffic to the side lanes in an effort to prevent being rear ended. After about 10 minutes, luckily, an emergency fire department truck spotted my distress and doubled back, parked behind me and engaged his emergency lights. A good Samaritan stopped an attempted to toe strap me to the shoulder of the road. However, the poor design of this truck didn't allow me to put the transmission in neutral unless the vehicle is running. So, after about an hour, the tow truck driver was able to drag the Silverado on the back of his flatbed. After my truck was at the dealer for a week, they were able to determine that the engine main bearings seized and spun a couple of rod bearings. This is a well maintained vehicle, with the oil changes done on time and documented at the dealership. My Silverado has a 6.2 liter V 8.engine with only 21,532 miles on it.

While driving my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 with the 6.2L engine (approx. 22,000 miles) on a busy interstate in another state, the vehicle suddenly lost power and shifted into neutral without warning. I was towing a 5,000-pound camper and had my wife and three children in the truck. We were traveling on a slight incline when the truck unexpectedly disengaged. There were no warning lights, no messages, and no sounds indicating engine failure—just a sudden loss of drive. All displays remained illuminated, but I had no power to the wheels. By the grace of God, I was able to maneuver to the median before the truck and camper came to a complete stop. It was a terrifying and dangerous situation that could have resulted in a major accident given the speed of traffic, the weight of the trailer, and the total lack of warning. The truck was towed to a Chevrolet dealer across the state line. After running diagnostics, I was told the engine had failed and would need to be replaced under warranty. However, I have yet to receive a clear explanation of what exactly failed internally. I was informed that a replacement engine is back-ordered by several months, leaving me without a vehicle and unsure when it will be repaired. The incident has not yet been investigated by the manufacturer, insurance, or law enforcement. This experience was frightening not just because of the mechanical failure, but because it happened with zero indication. I hope others don’t have to go through something like

While driving going 40 mph a ‘Brake System Failure’ warning came on and brakes stopped working. Thankfully there were no cars ahead allowing me to continue until the car came to a stop. At that point I engaged the emergency brake and put the car in park and out of gear. I then had the truck towed to a Chevy dealership. I still do not have a response to what the issue is.

At 19k miles the transmission had a shifting problem and went into limp mode forcing a deceleration while on a highway. Had to unhook the battery and hook it back up to clear the code to get to a safe point for towing. Had to do this 3 times. Once at the dealer they could not recreate the problem. One week later it went into limp mode again. Took it to the deal and was informed that the valve body in the transmission would need to be replace. There is a supply shortage on parts and I am now without a truck for who knows how long.

During gear down-shift the rear wheels briefly lock up. This event can be duplicated easily at around 45mph, by slowing due to uphill grade or slowing traffic, then upon normal application of throttle to resume course the transmission shifts to next lowest gear (3 or 4, not sure) there occurs a brief and sudden horrendous jerk as the rear wheels lock & skid. The event lasts less than 1/4 sec, but happens multiple times per day as that speed/load condition is frequent. On occasion, the same can occur in a parking lot ~10mph, but isn't as violent. The first occurrence was at mileage 38,000; the vehicle now has 45,000 miles. This appears to be the same issue as NHTSA Recall No 24V-797, which does not include my vehicle's production year.

The symptoms since the beginning of 2024 have been that when braking between 7 and 10 mph, you feel a bump or a skid, and when you stop, the engine shakes for a moment as if it's going to shut off. This happens with the Auto Stop-Start off. A sudden braking moment can affect the vehicle's performance, making it difficult to control and increasing the risk of accidents, especially when it comes to a pickup truck that may have a trailer with cargo or objects in the bed that can be thrown. The trailer can even leave the road, losing control of the car. In 2024, I took the truck to the place where I bought it, Bomnin Chevrolet Dadeland, for a checkup. I explained all the symptoms to my advisor, just as I do here. I had to take it to wait for a loaner. A few days later, I took it back, and they had it for almost a week. When I picked it up, my advisor told me everything was fine. When I left the dealership, I found the same symptoms, so I went back and told him the car was still doing the same thing, and he told me it was normal. After much insistence, he got in the car with me to show him the problem, and the car did it several times, but according to him, it was normal. Now, in 2025, a week ago I took it to Miami Lakes Auto Mall to get checked out with the same symptoms and explanation. I started investigating why that couldn't possibly be normal car operation. They found they had to replace the torque converter and valve body because they found an excessive amount of metal in t

Thankfully on a rural road so was able to get out of danger. Had this happened in a busy environment may not have been so forturnate. Dealer determined that 2 of the connecting rods bent and caused catostrophic engine damage. Since this happened I have read about 100's of other 6.2L gasoline engines having similar issues.

I was in stop and go traffic, the truck engine turned off I could not get it to crank. I was stuck in the middle of a busy road for at least an hour until the tow truck driver got there. Since the truck has electric shifting for the transmission, I could not get the truck into neutral to at-least push it to a safe place. I was informed by the dealership that there is no neutral override unless the vehicle is running. The shifting and fuel system “fuel module” failure is a know problem from GM and need to be recalled. If this would have happened on the interstate I don’t think the outcome would be great. The truck is a little over 1 year old and has under 15,000 miles. Very dangerous situation.

I was on Expressway with the cruise set on 72 Miles an hour I heard a loud clunk the engine, of course shut off I go down to the gearshift in the console. It said neutral so close it over to the side of the road got stopped as soon as our momentum stopped and we are completely at a standstill the truck put itself in park. I then tried to restart it and it wouldn’t do anything. I contacted OnStar state in my situation and after multiple conversations with them, I disconnected the phone call and contacted my own towing service because we were 51 miles from our home and they would not tell the people there unless I paid for over half of it. They would only tow it to the nearest dealer. We have been a free customer since 1997. We or a family owned Electrical contacting business. My truck is my office. I’m in 90% of my day. I elected to take it to the dealer where we purchased it, and we purchased a good portion of our vehicles over the years and helps that it would be repaired in a timely manner.

The tail gate on my 2023 Silverado has started to open on its own both while driving and while stopped as well as attempting to open every 3-5 minutes while the vehicle is off. I contacted Chevrolet after I saw there was open recalls for this exact issue to see if my truck was covered with this recall and to my chagrin it is not. But from what I read, this is the exact issue that other drivers of Silverados between the years of 2020-2024 have been experiencing.

On 3/1/2025, while driving, my vehicle became unresponsive and inoperable . My vehicle stopped at the intersection in a turn lane. The vehicle engine turned off and a check engine light turned on in the dashboard. There were no sounds or indicators prior to the event. All of the controls became inoperable and unresponsive. When I tried to restart the vehicle it would not turn over. I was unable to shift the vehicle out of park. The dash board showed the message “Conditions Not Correct for Shift”. I tried several different corrective actions and referred to the owners manual but I was unable to do anything. The owners manual didn’t specify how to shift the vehicle when it is not running. I had to call a tow truck because we were in the intersection and it presented a concern for safety for ourselves and others the tow truck tried resetting the vehicle, jumping it, and looked for the manual shift override but were unsuccessful. They pulled my truck onto the tow truck and took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. When we arrived at the dealership the tow truck driver consulted with the dealership personnel and were still unable to determine any cause or how to manually shift the vehicle into neutral. My truck has the 6.2L V8 L87 gasoline engine with only 15466 miles. The dealer confirmed engine failure and is in the process of ordering a new engine. There is no known ETA for the engine because it has become a national issue. I have also read multiple encounters of

I was driving on the highway at about 65 mph, when all of the sudden the truck shut off. There was construction in that part of the highway and there was no shoulder for me to drive off to so I kept driving until the truck completely stopped on the highway. I had to jump off the truck from the passenger side with my wife and toddler and jump the median and stood there in the cold for a few hours while a tow truck came to move the truck out of the highway. We did not fell save staying in the car because there was a lot of traffic and we were afraid to get rear ended. I got the truck towed to my house which cost me $600, the next day i called the dealership to come pick it up. They took it and found the engine was completely damaged. They replaced the engine, but with the same engine model that has the defective engine that NHTSA is currently investigating on these engines. So i no longer feel safe nor can i rely on this truck to run my business.

Traveling at ~40mph when some knocking could be heard. Pedal manipulation was intermittent. No warnings on the dash. Luckily, I was able to use momentum to get the truck off of the main road and onto a side street. Knocking was heard even louder now - pedal manipulation was now even more intermittent. An error message popped up on the display "Conditions not correct to shift", with no other lights coming on. Truck has now coasted to a stop and the check engine light came on. Cannot put the truck into any other gear. I was lucky enough to not be traveling at a higher rate of speed, but I can see this being a huge safety concern. The truck was towed to a local dealer where i was told that the truck has experienced "Spontaneous Engine Disassembly". However, my service record only states "Check Engine Light On". The attached information is the only thing that I have of the incident and how it's being reported.

While pulling out onto a very busy highway in North Dallas, I had to "step" on it in order to make the turn. Immediatley after making the turn I went to "step" on it and the truck shifted into Neutral with heavy traffic. Luckily I was able to coast to a turning lane safely. Once stopped I was able to place the truck in park. However, after shutting off the truck it was never able to restart. This night was an extremely cold night with subfreezing temperatures. Not being able to start the truck meant no heater and myself and my girlfriend quickly became very cold. After calling OnStar we waiting almost 45 minutes for roadside assistance. However, they were only coming to try and jump start the truck and had to request a second roadside assistance to come and tow the vehicle. The vehicle could not be shifted into Neutral and a flatbed truck had to be used and the truck had to be drug up onto the tow truck. When I first stopped the truck and shifted it into Park, the engine was still running and sounded normal. It just could not be shifted into any gears. However, the GM dealership is telling me the engine seized up and needs to be replaced and could take 4-8 weeks just to locate an engine. Although no one was hurt or injured thankfully, the safety risk when this happened could have been very bad and deadly. Not to mention not being able to have heat during extreme cold temperatures is a safety concern. Had the truck not been able to be parked in a safe area, and not being able

The vehicle check engine light came on and a message displayed "Reduced acceleration. Drive with care." My acceleration was very slow but that was the only symptom, although I was driving speeds under 55 MPH. I took the vehicle to GM with CEL Code P078 and they replaced the high pressure fuel rail. Two days later the CEL came on again with code P228B. I was driving on the highway when the message came on and I could not accelerate the vehicle. If I tried to push the gas pedal more than halfway, I would lose both speed and power. I could not maintain my highway speed very well and could only accelerate if I slightly pressed the gas pedal. This is a serious safety concern because it may cause an accident if I am not able to maintain speed on the freeway. Additionally, this is of concern because I rely on my vehicle to pull a camper, and with this condition, I would be a "sitting duck" with my family in the vehicle. GM continues to diagnosis the issue but has failed to respond in a timeline and satisfactory manner.

The motor of our vehicle failed while driving on the interstate. The vehicle is at a dealership for repairs and should be available for inspection. With little to no warning our truck quickly went from 70 MPH to completely shut down. We had to go from the left lane on the interstate to the shoulder. In the process we were very close to a collision. We were also hauling our camper (2023 Forest River R-Pod 153, which has a dry weight of 3,421 lbs and we had no water in our fresh/grey/or black tanks). When we merged into the right lane our truck was going so slowly on the interstate that we were almost hit and honked at before we could get to the shoulder safely. The problem was confirmed by the dealership that is working on it. The motor spun 4 rod bearings and it was a total motor failure. The vehicle was/is still under warranty. The manufacturer, I would assume, has inspected it as we are receiving a full motor replacement. That motor has been and continues to be on back order with no ETA for 2 months now. There were no warnings in how the truck was running. There were no warnings on the dash, warning lights, or any indication that our truck was going to break down.

They told me it had catastrophic engine failure. I’m currently waiting for a new engine replacement. They’re trying to find a new one, but are having no luck.

While attempting to pull out into traffic at a T intersection, the vehicle would not accelerate as I got into roadway and gave me a "Reduced Acceleration" notice. I was almost hit by a vehicle that was coming towards me. This has happened 3 times now. I have not taken it the dealer yet.

I was driving on the interstate when the power steering failed. I was on a straightaway so I was able to force the vehicle to the side of road and have it towed. If I was in a corner, I would have crashed. It was repaired at Chevrolet Dealership.

While driving down the highway, a message popped up stating “not suitable to shift” and I lost all acceleration and could only coast. Luckily was able to coast over to the shoulder, where attempts were made to shut down and restart vehicle. Second message came up stating reducing features to save battery. Was unable to restart and a tow was requested. Dealership reported it was unknown why or what caused it but engine was locked up. Engine only had 19k on it with just me as the owner.when purchased brand new 17 months prior.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
