ENGINE
Vehicle engine began to stall and make clanking noises. The engine light came on. Was able to get to repair shop, which was very close. Repair shop was able to verify that problem was due to an engine "cylinder clapse". Four cylinders where repaired on side of the engine. They indicated that because of issues the GM 5.3L V8 engines have been having (possibly ceasing and causing accident and/or injury) the other four cylinders could possibly cause the same engine problem in the future.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Was pulling out onto the road from sitting at a traffic light, vehicle was going less than 25mph when the engine made a clunk trying to shift and the check engine light came on. Computer software indicated “limp mode with reduced acceleration activated.” Vehicle wouldn’t accelerate above 35mph, had to drive on major highway to get to dealership. Truck is only used as commuter vehicle hasn’t towed anything. Dealership indicated valve body transmission failed with vehicle only have 9k miles on it. Part is on back order as it is being manufactured due to installed faulty part, problem has been going on in 2023/2024 Chevy and gmc trucks since January 2024 without a recall put in place. Problem is being fixed after the part fails and the truck fails to run at optimal valves. According to forums software update were installed versus recalls to the actually valve body part being. I was sold a truck in sept 2024 with a faulty installed part versus it being fixed before it was purchased. This caused me to be stranded 1500 miles away from my home and we were not made aware of the know valve body transmission issue. The information was covered up versus being disclosed.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH on a highway entrance ramp, the vehicle failed to accelerate upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the "Reduce Acceleration Drive with Care" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was instructed to take the vehicle in for a diagnostic test. Once the contact arrived at the dealer, 13 diagnostic trouble codes were retrieved; however, the dealer could not duplicate the failure. An appointment was scheduled with the same dealer, and it was discovered that the diesel particulate filter was clogged with soot, causing the vehicle to enter LIMP Mode. Despite this discovery, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure after the filter was unclogged. The vehicle resumed normal operation. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 11,267.

Experienced sudden engine failure while driving on the interstate. Mileage on the vehicle is 11,635. Engine has been maintained as per manufacturers recommendations. Currently at dealership awaiting engine replacement. Was informed that main locking cap for crankshaft came apart, resulting in a hole in the engine block with sudden loss of oil and oil pressure. Currently replacement engines are not available as GM has had a large number of 6.2 L engines that have similarly failed. Dealer cannot provide information on when replacement will be available.
