ENGINE, WHEELS
I am writing to formally express my frustration regarding the ongoing issues with my vehicle. The vehicle continues to overheat, the check engine light repeatedly comes on, and it has cut off unexpectedly. The tire air pressure sensors as well.These issues have persisted despite multiple repair attempts. I initially brought the vehicle to the dealership in December 2024, and again in March 2025 and now the vehicle is having the same issues to date December 2025. On both occasions, the vehicle remained at the dealership for over a month for repairs. Unfortunately, the problem has not been resolved. Each time I inquire, I am given different explanations as to why the issue cannot be fixed, which has been extremely frustrating and concerning. Additionally, I am being charged for services that I do not fully understand or agree with, especially given that the original problem still exists. Due to the lack of resolution, I have also contacted GMC directly to file a formal complaint. At this point, the ongoing delays, lack of clear communication, and unresolved mechanical issues are unacceptable. I requested a clear explanation of all charges, as well as a concrete plan outlining the steps needed to finally fix my vehicle. Please provide the appropriate point of contact and advise on how this issue will be resolved promptly. I expect immediate attention to this matter. Thank you.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have not had any incidents thank goodness. But I did take it to the shop and they told me as the vacuum pump. It wouldn’t stop my vehicle and I was always nervous about hitting someone or causing an accident. Before then, I had change the breaking pad, taking it to the shop to check on their transmission and none of that was the problem. Please make a recall on this. People could cause or be involving in an accident. It mostly happened when I’m driving in slow between 2-5 miles per hour. It always scare me when backing out of my driveway because the brakes wouldn’t work. I do not have any pictures. I would rather take this to get fixed before causing an accident.

A week or two before I took my truck into decorah Chevy isr because tailgate was going up and down all by itself while I was driving or parked without me by it. They said it was just the latch button . So they fixed it they said and still my blinker lights would just come on and then I hit a deer and my seatbelt did not latch and my airbags didn't deploy even though my app says they did. I'm wondering if all three are connected with electrical . Either way my air bags did not deploy and my truck has extensive damage and my seatbelt didn't lock ,

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT 150 MILES ON THE ODEMETER THE TPM LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, GOT OUT AND CHECKED ALL 4 TIRES. NOT NOTICING ANY ISSUES I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED ON THE STEREO. THE SPEAKERS SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE BLOWN APART. STATIC AND THE SOUND OF MUFFLED VIBRATIONS. I DROVE TO MY INTENDED DESTINATION AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. AFTER FINISHING MY BUSINESS AT THIS LOCATION I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE TPM LIGHT WAS NOT ILUMINATED. THIS IS A HIGE SAFTY ISSUE. AS A FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN DEAD AND MULATED PEOPLE THAT STOPED ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOT OUT TO CHECK THERE VEHICLE AND WERE STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO IMMEADIATLY STOP AND GET OUT OF THERE VEHICLE THINKING THERE IS A FLAT TIRE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A COMPUTER GLITCH IN THE 2026 CHEVEROLET SILVERADO 1500 SERIES.

6L80 transmission shift flared when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear and shuddered when driving at 45 - 50 mph and about 1400 rpm’s. The Torque Converter Clutch was spasming out causing the the torque converter to shudder which caused the torque converter to overheat at 250 degrees therefore exploding the torque converter that shot metal inside of the transmission blowing it up.

Bad shuttering, slow acceleration, clunking noise, check engine light flashing all started while driving home. Took it to a transmission shop and they said it was the TC and transmission. I then called the dealership to see if there was a recall, and looked up any recalls. Since I have had fluid flushed and changed, and still have the problems. This has been an on going problem for a couple of years now. It was just out of warranty for dealership to fix. It started while I was on a highway and had very poor acceleration control.

While driving the vehicle the tailgate came open by itself. I had left my house and when I arrived at my friend’s house to pick him up the tailgate was down. I closed the tailgate and while driving a driver honked their horn to alert me that something was wrong. When I pulled off the road the tailgate had come open for a second time.

2025 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado High Country 6.2 L motor with 5624 miles blown motor. When I tried to start it, the motor made a noise like someone tossed a handful of spoons in a blender and turned it on. Motor shut off on its own. This was on Sunday December 21st of 2025. Truck as towed to Westly Chapel Chevrolet in Westly Chapel Florida on Monday December 22nd of 2025. Chevrolet Customer Service was called on Monday December 22nd of 2025. The Case # XXX. I spoke to 7 different people before a manager called me later that evening and said my case manager will be Tyisha. The manager stated she was Tyisha's direct manager and that Tyisha would reach out to me within 2-3 days. The manager also stated that she was unaware of the 2021-2024 issues with the 6.2 L motor. I informed Customer Service I wanted a buy back and that 7 Service Departments told me that motor replacements are taking 3-6 + months. Ive been told the repair for the 6.2 L has not been properly addressed and the new motors are still have catastrophic failures. I spoke to 7 local Chevrolet Service departments. Each one said they had several of the 6.2 L motors in with major failures. Some brand new 2025. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE
I've owned the 2022 Silverado High Country with 6.2L engine. Over the past 3.5 years, the engine has had oil consumption issues where I was required to take the vehicle to Chevrolet dealership every 500 miles in Hampton, VA to have the oil level checked. I kept getting the message "low Oil Level" on the information center. I also kept hearing loud ticking noise coming from the engine. Chevy service would top off the oil level (sometimes 1/2 or 1+ quart low), and send me on my way. After oil consumption and ticking noise continued, I was notified by Dealer that a Safety Recall April 2025 was issued by GM. I met with GM Representative and Chevy Service Manager April 2025, and based on my truck history with oil consumption and lifter noise, decision was made to replace engine. New Engine was installed May 2025 and all appeared to be good to go. However, in November 2025 I heard the loud clicking noise in the new engine. Hampton, VA Chevy service conducted an inspection and found a bent push rod in new engine. Service replaced the push rod and all lifters based on history of lifter issues.

The vehicle 'turned off' while in motion at around 35-40 mph on a busy 5-lane major arterial road in the city on 12/21/2025 at around 0630-0700 hours. Driver (author of this report) was able to turn into a side road and stop. Message "Press start button" displayed on dash panel. Complying with this action led to a coughing start but vehicle could not be put into drive mode because a second message appeared saying "Conditions not safe for transfer". Eventually over next minute or two vehicle coughed up to a start again and was able to put into drive mode and drive to parking garage to safety. Driver was able to drive back about 3 hours later with no recurrence or new malfunction. No warning lights throughout the episode. My Chevrolet mobile app also did not display error messages. Vehicle was driven (without incident) and delivered to a Chevrolet dealer on 12/24/2025 for diagnostics and workup and is currently situated there.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am filing a safety and health complaint regarding a known rear window water intrusion defect on my 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with approximately 56,000 miles. Despite the severity of the issue, the dealership has refused to provide a permanent repair. This defect is widely documented and has resulted in a recall in Canada, yet no recall exists in the United States—despite significantly more of these vehicles being sold here. The inconsistency in recall coverage is deeply concerning. My vehicle experiences substantial water intrusion that has saturated the rear headliner, rear seat area, and carpeting. This creates a serious health concern, particularly for rear-seat passengers, including children. Prolonged moisture intrusion creates a high likelihood of mold growth beneath interior components, which General Motors has failed to address. There is also a serious safety risk. The rear sliding window heater module is mounted directly to the rear window. It is well known that when this module is exposed to moisture from the leak, it can cause the rear window to shatter or explode. The dealership has acknowledged this risk. A rear window shattering while occupants are in the vehicle could result in serious injury. When covered under bumper-to-bumper warranty, the dealership’s only solution is a “reseal” of the rear window. This is not a permanent repair, and many owners report repeated failures after resealing. This issue is easily verified through widespread consumer complaints. These trucks are expensive vehicles, and owners should not be forced to accept temporary fixes for a defect that presents clear health and safety risks. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this issue and take appropriate action.
