One morning i turned it on and it stated no oil pressure to turn car off. I did as it stated lifted the hood and can tell the oil cooler line/hose came off due to the latch bracket not holding.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Lack of proper venting of the DEF holding tank causes tank to buckle and expand resulting in very loud metal banging sounds as vehicle travels between high and low elevations. For example driving from Flagstaff AZ (el. 7000) to Phoenix AZ (el 1600) results in loud metal noises from the tank as it partially implodes due to change in pressure. Should the DEF tank develop cracks the result is a leak in DEF to the environment.

Advising they will not cover it under extended warranty . The is a health concern and GMC knows about it and will not do anything to rectify the problem

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SEAT BELTS
Hello, I purchased a 2019 Chevrolet Trailboss LT from a Chevrolet dealership on April 23 2024. I noticed a few days later and after the first rain, the back window was leaking water inside. There is a service bulletin regarding this issue, I called General Motors and was told that they recommend me getting this repaired at my expense. Ironically my mother whom was with me at the time of purchase was coughing on our way home from the dealership and said she’s very sensitive to black mold and felt the truck had mold somewhere in it. I do have pictures of large water stains on the headliner along with water running down the back window onto the carpet. I do not feel comfortable putting my family in this vehicle with possible black mold. At time of purchase, i mentioned to the sales lady that my mother suffers from a chronic lung infection and the leaking back window service bulletin was never disclosed with me. I feel that General Motors should be held accountable to make these repairs at their expense due to black mold, water around electrical and seatbelts. Thank you for any help

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
component failed: Power steering pump and the power brake booster. Parts are available to inspect. When the component failed you begin to loose power steering and power brakes. This makes it hard to steer and brake. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed the failure of these parts and replaced them at the owner expense. No warning lights came on, components failed without any prior warning. A similar failure was part of recall # N-192268490 and detailed in GM service bulletin 23-NA-144 Dated August 2023.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
Cracked Engine. There was no warning. No indications prior to incident. Driving approximately 45/50 mph on road, out of NO WHERE a message appeared "Shift into NEUTRAL and SHUT OFF ENGINE" I coasted to the side of the of road, there was no power at all. I did as the message stated. Once I turned off the vehicle, it would not start. It has not been able to start since that time. I had to have the vehicle towed. First to my local mechanic who could not find anything and suggested to take to a dealer, I had to have it towed again. Thankfully other vehicles behind me were patient enough for me to get to the side of road. However, this could have caused a very serious accident. I have read other complaints online regarding the same issue. GM/CHEVY states there are not enough complaints of the issue but have had some. Does a death need to occur to get attention? I certainly hope not. The vehicle has been properly maintained. Chevy can not give a reason for this happening. My vehicle is over the warranty amount in mileage. Therefore I have to pay 30% of the cost for a new engine. I would not be as upset if there was something I did, but if it is properly maintained, why? No one can answer that question. All I get is "I understand". If they did, they would have done something sooner and they would cover this cost 100%.There has to be some defect or issue somewhere. They can not seem to give me an exact figure for the repair. Who knows what my out of pocket cost will be.

ENGINE
I was on my way to an important doctor appointment driving on the interstate in fairly heavy traffic. All at once with no warning my engine died and the transmission shifted itself into neutral. I was in the fast lane when the engine stopped. Fortunately I was able to make it over to the emergency lane. Otherwise I could have very likely have been hit by another driver. This was a very scary occurrence. I had it towed to the dealer and was told that my 6.2L engine was locked up. I have done my own oil changes for the past 55 years so I know for a fact that there was oil in the engine and it had be changed regularly. From what I have read on numerous other web sites this seems to be a common occurrence with these engines. I think there should be a factory recall on these engines immediately before someone is seriously injured or killed. Please look into this very serious problem.

POWER TRAIN
Engine blew the lifters while driving on the highway at 75MPH in Morning traffic. The truck immediately lost power and dropped from 75 down to 45 quickly without any input from me. Luckily the cars behind me were able to swerve before hitting me while i was pulling to the side. The lifter failures are a known issue with GM trucks with the 5.3 and 6.2 liter engines. The service advisor told me they do at least 12 of these per month. There are 100's of messages on several forums where people have the exact same issue. Some of them experiencing the failures with as low as 5K miles. GM's fix is to replace both banks of lifter if the engine has under 16K miles and only replace the one bank if the engine has over 16K miles. The FIX is not really a Fix since GM is putting the same lifter design right back in, leading to many people having the issue multiple times.

Driving truck down road, suddenly alert on dashboard comes on that says “oil pressure low, shut off vehicle.” Turned into the parking lot, shut truck off. Noticed oil cooling line had come off the clamped side. Tried replacing it into clamp and replacing oil but engine would not turn over. Towed to shop. Had to replace entire engine. Noticed that other 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500s were recalled for same issue. Called to report to GMC—- they would not do anything about it since it was not part of the original recall. Please consider asking them to expand recall—-given that the recall reflects the exact issue we had with our 2019 Chevy.
