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.

ENGINE
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 that GM is recommending and/or mandating. This was very sudden and scary scenario. I do have video of the engine noises if theyre. Theyre not currently formatted for this report

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
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.

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 Dealership when I had full warranty’s and each Dealership told me that my truck is fine, I just have to drive it because it’s still new and this is not a problem at all.

ENGINE
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

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.
