The company had a complimentary repair of the known issue of bad oil cooler lines. It oblast short period. I now own the vehicle and it still has leaking oil cooler lines why should it not be replaced by GM since the lines leaking or coming apart and possibly blowing up and engine is a known problem. Would like gm to replace it under the program they already had offered

At 12,000 miles a lifter malfunctioned. It was repaired by my local Chevrolet dealership by replacing lifters on one side of the engine. The delearship also changed the viscosity of the oil. At 64,000 miles roughly another lifter malfunctioned and needed replacing. Had I been on the highway at the time of failure it could have posed a risk for the safety of my family and others on the road. Each time the check light was flashing at the time of the incident.

Not that anything has happened to my truck but im genuinely worried that something bad will happen with my motor. With it being the 6.2L L87 motor. My truck was manufactured july 2024 which is 2 months after Gm's cut off. I love the truck but im worried about going to and from work, what if i was to turn and this truck dies and i go into oncoming traffic? What about everyone else driving their own vehicles? I hope something is done because im really thinking about getting rid of this truck in fear of something bad happening. Thank you.

ENGINE
While driving 65 mph down the highway pulling a trailer. I lost all power and chimes went off on the dash to push button to start. I coasted to the side of the road and vehicle was completely dead. It was towed to the nearest dealership and it was determined that it needed a whole new engine. It took 119 days for the repair to be made.

At 82,000 miles, cylinder number 6 lifter collapsed resulting in a bent push rod. I have since replaced the cam, lifters, push rods with an AFM delete kit for Texas Speed knowing that the same problem would occur if factory parts were used again. One would think that a newer vehicle should last longer than 82K miles with all the technology today. Oil changes were always on time between 3 and 5k miles. Unfortunately, I'm cursed with knowing how to work on vehicles. Is there anything that GM can do with my out-of-pocket material costs of $2500.00? Love the truck ... but very discouraged and may have to go back with a Ford!

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Check engine light repeatedly comes on. Take it in, multiple Chevy dealerships “fix” the errors such as fuel line pump 5x, gear shift issues, modules that went bad and various other issues. I Routinely take care of vehicle (oil changes, tire rotations and service when needed) This truck will randomly shut off while driving (stop and go traffic ) I was told to turn off the start/stop which I do every time I get in the truck. However it recently wouldn’t turn over after going through a car wash, it would try and try till I manually stopped it. It’s running rough now and I pray everyday the check engine light doesn’t come on or that it doesn't just shut off mid drive. This truck has been hell on wheels and I bought it with 10 miles on it. Bought it from AutoNation in 12/2023.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Purchased vehicle in August of 2025 and there was an open recall for engine issues at that time. Took vehicle back to dealership in October or November for dealer to inspect. The vehicle passed the engine test and oil was changed to a heavier weight. From October/November 2025 I’ve been noting that there’s been a significant loss of engine oil prior to scheduled maintenance that requires anywhere between 4-5quart top off every three months or so. Feels like the vehicle is sluggish and has no “get-up”. Also, the Auto Emergency Brake light/system keeps malfunctioning. Even after it’s been replaced several times the light comes back on and you’re not able to control the forward collision gauge.

ENGINE
My Second motor blew up while towing my camper with my entire family in the vehicle, leaving us stranded 1 foot from interstate traffic for over an hour as we waited for a tow truck—this was GM's 3rd attempt to fix the problem. There were no warning signs. The motor had roughly 4 thousand miles on it. I have since gotten rid of this truck (and suffered financial loss) before it gets me or someone else killed. GM needs to fix this. o30,317 miles – Started using Heavier oil 6/18/2025 o36,732 miles – Recall “fix” 11/10/2025 o38,917 miles – 1st Engine Failed 1/9/2026 oTruck returned to me – 1-24-26 o43617 miles – 06/20/2026 Replacement motor blew up I can't remember the exact speed, but I was going with the flow of traffic, so I'm going to guess it was 70-75. The file CTCS654636 is the second motor failure. Starr RO 626023.pdf is the first engine failure. and i have also uploaded the two files of when i swapped oil and had the recall fixed.

POWER TRAIN
Purchased used in 02/2022. Pickup started to shutter when shifting at 35-45 MPH. Took it to Turnpike Chevy who found thrust bearing in reaction carrier broken and damaged planetary gear set. They replaced the reaction carrier ASM and Reconditioned the transmission ASM. Replaced the valve body ASM. Took to John Sauder Chevy numerous times between July 19 2024 and July 7 2025 due to the shutter when shifting having returned. They tried the GM approved fix of flashing the computer to reprogram and kept saying they could not duplicate. On June 18, 2025 while towing a trailer on the highway while going highway speeds in the middle of rush hour traffic the transmission suddenly started making a shrill noise. Transmission disengaged and lost power. John Sauder Chevrolet found a broken oil pump drive and drive gears on the 10L80E transmission. GMC refused to replace the transmission and now it is out of warranty and starting shutter again when it shifts

This complaint is in relation to the investigation into the GM L87 (6.2L engine) investigation. I own a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado with the L87 engine. I had my truck inspected through the recall a few months ago and the engine passed at that time. The engine oil was changed by the dealer per the recall at that time. On August 23, 2026, I was traveling at highway speeds on an interstate highway when my truck began to lose power, downshifted hard three times and died in the middle of the highway. The truck shifted to nuetral and I was able to coast off the highway into a rest area. I attempted to start the struck but nothing happended. I had the truck towed to a dealer. They inspected it on August 25, 2026 and determined the engine had a catastrophic failure and needed to be replaced. I am currently waiting on a replacement engine

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The check engine light came on and my engine would stall sometimes, it would stall at start up so no safety issue. I took my truck to the dealer a week later where they said a wire was corroded from rubbing on something causing the issues and that it was a common issue.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On July 22, 2026 took truck to dealership for oil change and reported getting random (trailer brake, power steering) service alarms. Was told it might be a ground strap issue and was sent on my way. After investigating, there is a GM service bulletin (#23-NA-201) on the issue but does not cover my truck. After a week of vacation, began driving truck again and alarms became more frequent, including loss of power steering and jerking of steering wheel while driving. Arranged with dealership to replace the ground strap (at my expense). By the time they could schedule, the alarms were constant and the truck had completely lost power steering. One of the power steering failures nearly resulted in an accident while turning.
