ENGINE
Took my vehicle in on 3/24/2025 for an oil change and to check a perceived issue with transmission hesitation and a noise. Tech confirmed and repaired an issue in the transmission and also confirmed an issue within the engine. A replacement engine was ordered. Vehicle is still at the dealer awaiting the engine with no estimate as to when the engine will be shipped or received. It has now been well over 2 months. A loaner vehicle was provided on 4/30/2025 but is not comparable to my vehicle.

ENGINE
While driving my truck at approximately 50mph it suddenly lost power while in traffic. I was fortunate enough to pull over safely to avoid an accident. The motor was violently shaking and sounded like it was coming apart internally. Almost every warning light on the dashboard came on as I was pulling over. The truck had little power and did not sound normal. I immediately called for a tow truck and had it towed to the nearest Chevrolet dealership. After inspection they confirmed the lifters were bad. The truck had 38,000 original miles on it at the time of this incident. The dealership repaired the defective lifters. With the current GM recall on the 6.2 liter engine my truck does not qualify as it was built 1 month prior to the recall date. This truck needs to be included in the current 6.2 liter engine that GM is recalling. The motor is defective and is a major safety issue. If I was driving with my family on the highway while this abrupt incident happened it could have been catastrophic. There were no signs or warnings whatsoever prior to this incident.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
First my engine light came on and as I was in my way to the dealership I lost my brakes. It stayed at the shop for a week before I was contacted only for them to tell me that there was metal shaving in my engine oil and they recommend full replacement, meanwhile haven’t even made it to my brakes. GM offered me 3K toward replacing the 13K+ engine. That’s so unacceptable!

POWER TRAIN
My Silverado has what seems to be a known issue with recent model Silverados which is a broken/blown valve body at the transmission. The week of the failure, my truck began having rough shifting from first to second gear first thing in the morning, but would be fine after that. Two days later this progressed to all of the gears and nearly stranded me and my kids on the interstate due to not being able to maintain speed. I got the truck to the dealership where they looked up diagnosis code and told me it was the valve body and it would require replacing. Unfortunately, the part is on national backorder with unknown delivery time. Looking online, it seems this is a known issue and parts seems to be months (6+) behind. I am stuck paying for a rental car that GM says I will get reimbursed for, but we will see. To complete the questions above, I did not notice any warning lights or notices until it failed.

I was towing my boat, attempting to get on a 4 lane highway via on ramp. Truck refused to shift and went into limp mode as I was attempting to merge. Vehicles behind me on the ramp and coming up behind had to slam on their brakes. Diagnosed as a bad valve body. The issue is very widespread across GM vehicles, GM has a national backorder on the valve body as there are a ton of vehicles waiting for them. GM has not issued a recall at this time.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When driving my truck and towing a trailer which has elec. over hyd. brakes and trying to stop. My truck will disable my brakes on my trailer, which may weigh 3+ times the weight of my truck. GM had a recall on the truck brake module which fixed my problem. Then l took my truck back for an oil change a few months later and they said that there is a open recall on the brake module (NEWER UPDATE) which once again caused my brake issues again with the newer recall. l have opened up a complaint with GM and they say take it to a GM dealer. The dealer checks the truck out and says there is no problem with the truck. They tell me that l need to install a module on my trailer ,which l did early on with the problem. l did own a 2017 chevy and pulled that trailer with NO issues. The trailer dealer hooked the trailer to a 2018 GMC and a 2016 Dodge pick-up. And had NO problem with the trailer brakes and put a NYS inspection sticker on my trailer LAST MONTH. We !! the trailer dealer and myself have spoken to the company ( brake module) that GM says that l need. This trailer brake module which the trailer dealer installed in Feb 2024 still did not fix my problem. The brake module company told me GM has His words a HORNETS NEST problem with this issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
-Vacuum pump malfunction. Not available, has already been repaired. Found out after the fact there had been a recall on 2014-2018 vacuum pumps. Mine had not been included in the recall, yet here we are. -While pulling into a parking spot, as I was slowing down/braking the pedal went to the floor, truck accelerated went over a parking barrier, sidewalk and hit a tree. If I had not hit the tree, I would have driven into the side of the building into people doing cardio or if someone had been walking in front of me, I would have hit them. Seeing an orthopedist on June 10 for right hip and knee pain as leg was fully extended on impact. -Quality GMC Collision/Service tested/drove the car and it didn't happen. Service ran diagnostics and it happened then. Highlighted in yellow on repair invoice. -Quality GMC Collision/Service. don't know if an adjuster looked at it or not. Quality did file a claim for it though. - There was no warning, indication, message, problem before this happened. My brakes were were working and then they weren't.
