ENGINE
Vehicle has been maintained perfectly with full records. 99, 300 miles. Vehicle suddenly lost power at 55 mph, loud noise from the engine compartment. Immediately stopped and had the vehicle towed to the Chevrolet dealership. Diagnosed with DOD failure, required complete engine replacement. Explicitly told by this dealership and four others that I called for comparison price, stated that this is a known weakness, a known “defect” for years. It does seem very criminal to me that neither you nor GM/Chevrolet has not taken action on this known and very public issue. My cost was just over $13,000 +2 weeks rental $900, plus $300 towing.

My 2024 Chevy Silverado Trailboss with the 6.2 engine has had engine tick since it had about 1200 miles on it, I brought it into the dealer where I purchased it and they determined nothing was wrong with it, now today, the noise is way worse, so I called local dealership to my area, with this engine recall on the 6.2’s, the service guy I spoke with said GM has not come up with a remedy yet so there is nothing they can do about it. I asked them what I’m supposed to do, he said keep driving it until it locks up, I asked him if he was serious and he said yes, drive it until it locks up then have it towed to dealership, if they have a loaner I might get one, I said it’s a safety issue if it locks up on the highway or in traffic, he said yep, drive it until it locks up! GM has had 2 buy back programs on this and they still do not have a fix?

On March 16, 2025 driving to church in Siloam Springs Arkansas it lost power while going down the road at 45 mph and we started hearing an oddly loud noise and then the check engine light came on. We limped it into the church parking lot. We came out from church and started the engine, there was no check engine light. We pulled out of the church parking lot and started down the road and we got up to 55mph when the oddly loud noise occurred again and check engine light came on. We pulled over and called for a tow to the dealership Superior Chevrolet of Siloam Springs. They found the engine was missing on cylinder #2 and the #2 connecting rod was bent. They found the lifter on #2 exhaust was broken. They inspected the cam and all the lobes looked good. They replaced the right bank of lifters and guides with all gaskets seals and pipes. Changed the oil and filter. Refilled the coolant. Test drove 10 miles and verified operation. It had 58,055 miles when this failure occurred. Our safety was at risk as a result of an immediate loss of power while traveling speeds over 40mph.

On April 25, 2025, I was driving on the expressway to work when my 2024 Chevy Silverado 6.2 liter suddenly lost all power. I had to coast from the 3rd lane to the off ramp to get out of other vehicles. My truck was towed to Garber Chererolet in Webster NY, at an expense to me. On April 28, 2025, I was informed by the service manager at Gar er Chevrolet that my Chevy Silverado, 6.2 liter motor blew up and needed a new motor. Later on during the course of that day on April 28, 2025, I learned of, on a national media platform, that General Motors initiated a recall for the 6.2 liter motors that were defective not only for Chevrolet products but all GM products with the 6.2 liter motor in them. Unfortunately I never received a recall notice by the Chevy app, email, USPS Mail or any other means of communication. On Tuesday April 29, 2025, I initiated a claim with General Motors Customer Service Care. This is very very bad, knowingly that there were issues for years with the 6.2 liter motor. I've driven Chevrolet my whole entire adult life because I believe in the product. However, I am going to reconsider my buying options immediately due to the incompetence and negligence of General Motors. This is a serious offense, not only against me but for the whole general population that drive these vehicles. GM pute and all in a very serious situation that could have led to serious physical injury or death itself! Now General Motors tells me that I have to wait between 2 and 3 months for a new 6.2 liter motor because it's on back order. This is not acceptable in no way for myself or anyone else. I will be joining the class action lawsuit against General Motors and all the incompetent executives who knowingly and egregiously hid this from the general public, their customers, including myself. I am beyond angry and have zero confidence in GM going forward.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Around May 20th, 2022, I was driving the pickup when it suddenly the engine turned off on me. I was travelling at approximately 40 mph on city streets and was able to control the vehicle and park the vehicle and restart it. That same week, I took the vehicle to Chevrolet on the city of Orange, where it was inspected. According to the mechanic, no issues were located. Nothing else was done to the vehicle and as a result, I fear the same issue will happen again in the future.

engine replacement at 60k miles due to metal pieces broken down and shredded in engine, happened while driving. dealer replaced engine because i had extended warranty. Few months later the transmission failed and they replace with a brand new transmission because i had extended warranty. Now 15k miles later my wheels randomly lock up when turning corners. very dangerous. I can dig for every fine detail and time stamps and paper tail but i saw article on gm issues with engine and wanted to share. they didn’t want me to come forward when all of this happened.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERYTHING, it started with spark plugs and boots which is normal, then all of a sudden one ignition coil after the other, then the transmission, now it's the valve cover gaskets, the ENGINE oil cooler lines, the rear main seal, the oil pan itself, like literally everything. The places I took it advised probably getting a whole new engine. Mind you I just financed this truck 2 years ago. The transmission cost me $6,700 dollars out of pocket because my power train warranty wouldn't cover it because some wire. I don't know but there is seriously big problems with this year make and model. Also, the catalytic converters are bad and the exhaust manifold. All these things can't be wrong all at the same time unless there was a major issue prior to me financing when Chevrolet spit these trucks out.

ENGINE
While highway driving on 4/8/2025, for the 3rd time in 3 months, engine light came on and I lost all control of my cruise control, parking brake disabled and loss of engine power immediately reducing my highway speed to approximately 50 mph which was very dangerous. I had to cautiously return home & called the Chevy dealer immediately. They had repaired the lifters twice before, with the most recent repair on the lifters and push rod just one month earlier. This second repair was covered under their repair warranty. Currently, it took about 10 days before a loaner car was available (after a poor google review). To date (4/30/2025) I have not received ANY feedback from the dealer (Starling Chevrolet in Mt. Pleasant, SC) regarding any repair or engine diagnosis. The symptoms of this third failure was just like the previous two failures (3 failures in 3 months!). I feel like this vehicle has Major issues as I have also had to have the radio/infotainment system replaced twice since the original purchase. PLEASE have Chevrolet do an engine recall on their 5.7 liter engine!!

ENGINE
While traveling on a rural state highway, the #8 lifter bearing failed, causing the engine to lose considerable power and the dash light to come on. No advanced warning of engine problems was noticed prior. The transmission also went into limp mode not allowing the vehicle to shift gears. At the same time the ABS and ESC systems also went into a safety mode diminishing the stopping power of the vehicle. Upon inspection by a licensed mechanic it was discovered that the #8 lifter bearing and the camshaft were both damaged at that time. Total replacement cost was over 10k and it took almost 6 months to find a rebuilt L87 engine at that time because there was almost no supply available as a result of these engines having multiple failures nationwide

ENGINE
While driving to work a month ago (3/19/25) I lost the power to accelerate out of nowhere. And my truck started making this noise, what I can only describe as a winding up noise while trying to accelerate. I was going 55mph on a busy morning commute. There were no warning lights. I pulled over and shut the truck off. Checked oil (even though it was changed a week or 2 prior). Oil was fine. Let truck sit for 10 mins then tried to turn back on, it started but had that winding up noise when just sitting in idle, the check engine light then came on after it was on for a minute or so. Ran codes at home, and truck started making an additional rattle noise on top of the winding up noise when had to be turned on. One code was the crankshaft position sensor, we changed that out. Then the truck wouldn't start. Taken to Dealership, and they said initially they found a broken connector to the engine harness. Fixed that then truck started but still making the rattle/clunk type noise and louder than at home so they continued diagnostics because they said the noise sounds like a rod knock, so rod either being bent/broken/slipping. Further diagnostics found that oil and coolant are mixed along with metal shavings through engine so new engine is needed.

I just saw a recall for 2021-2024 vehicles for connecting rod/crankshaft engine components. I am not 100% sure that i have the same problem but my warning signs are the same. For example, there is a knocking sound in engin, it shifts abnormally and it hesitates and has reduced propulsion. I talked to several other Trail boss owners that had to have their Lifters repaired so maybe it is that? These problems are happening to everyone prior to even hitting 70k miles. I cannot afford to fix this if it is a problem that shouldnt be happening in the first place, due to crappy manufacturing.
