ENGINE
Driving on a farm to market road, I passed a slow dump truck, when I let off the gas, every light on my dash came on, I lost all power and my engine started knocking. I Had 60662 miles on it. I bought it with 442 miles on it. The rod bearing went out and threw the rod thru the block. Complete engine replacement. The issue is not only on the 6.2 motors, I know many 5.3 ecotec owners that have had this issue as well as me. gm file # 9-13551227044.

SERVICE BRAKES
Last year the right parking brake was sticking and our service parking brake light kept coming on. We found out that it ate our back right brake so both needed to be replaced. That lasted less than a year. I brought it back to our local mechanic twice and they couldn't figure it out so they referred us to a dealership to run a diagnostic test (which I had to pay $108.00 out of pocket for) I brought it in to the dealership on Friday (4-18-25) to find out that the Brake Control Module needs to be replaced. I noticed that their is a recall for my exact vehicle but my VIN # is not included in the recall. I would like to be included in this recall. This is a very serious issue that deals with everyone's safety. I don't want to have to keep fixing this. I just want my vehicle fixed. Please help

The rear driver side seatbelt will not pull out, when I went to the garage to have it looked at to see what the problem was they told me it was the seatbelt retractor. I have not fixed this yet because it is expensive to fix.

ENGINE
I own a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a 6.2 liter L87 engine that is currently part of class action lawsuits. While driving down the highway with a car full of passengers at around 75-80mph, the vehicle shut down and would not accelerate. Frantically from the left lane, I crossed traffic almost causing an accident multiple times, to the shoulder of the highway. I then called for a tow truck to tow the vehicle as it would not start. The vehicle was towed three hours later, to the dealer (Quirk Chevrolet) and I walked off of the highway with the group of people. We then ubered home. The dealer diagnosed some mechanical issues that they said were the issue and “repaired” the vehicle. I picked the vehicle up three days later. Three weeks after that I was driving down the highway at about the same speed, 75-80mph, and my vehicle shut off again and was unresponsive. I had to then cut across three lanes of traffic frantically again and I coasted off of the highway due to an off ramp being right there and me acting quickly. The vehicle was unable to start for about 20 minutes and when I finally got it started it was making a loud audible knocking noise. I shut it down and called for a tow truck to the same dealer I had it serviced at a few week prior. I got a call the following day stating my vehicle needed an engine replacement and that I was most likely going to have to wait four months or more for it. They stated that they did not have any loaner vehicles available for me due to four other 6.2L engines needing replacement and if they had any available in the coming months, they would all be midsize SUVs. They stated that there was nothing they could due to get me a truck and only a midsize was offered which would not be any time soon anyways. I called three other Chevy dealers in the area and they stated that they all had between 3-5 seized 6.2L engines in the shop. There were no warning signs prior to this happening minus the repairs stated above and maybe a tic

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I was getting on the freeway and all of a sudden a lost power and heard a loud clunking noise. I drove as fast as I could to get in a safe area. Afterwards I had my vehicle towed to my mechanic. They said engine failure and possibly transmission failure. They found metal shavings in the oil. I had changed it myself a few weeks prior. I then took it to a gm dealer. I was just outside my powertrain warranty at about 70k miles. They said the same thing. 24k to repair. I had to junk the vehicle.

ENGINE
While driving down the interstate on cruise control with my son, my truck dash board lit up with no warning, service esc, service parking brake, check engine light flashing. The cruise control was disengaged and did not function. The truck began to run very rough.small amounts of White smoke where visible from the tail pipe. Acceleration was very hesitant. The codes were scanned and showed misfire on cylinder 1 and a rough idle code. The repair shop confirmed I had two failed lifters that destroyed my camshaft and send metal throughout my engine. The repair was to replace the entire engine.
