I own a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with the 6.2L V8 (L87), covered by Recall 25V-274. I believe the remedy does not establish that my vehicle is safe, and GM has declined to confirm that it is. My truck was inspected under the recall in August 2025. It passed, and the oil was changed to 0W-40. I later returned to the dealer to complete the recall work, where the new oil fill cap was installed. Before the remedy, the truck had been driven roughly 30,000 miles on the original oil, including repeated towing during a move. NHTSA’s EA26005 states it has received complaints of engine…
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that while parked and while driving at 25 MPH, the tailgate unexpectedly opened and failed to remain closed. The message "Tailgate Open" was displayed. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V060000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
TELMATIC QUIT WORKING gps the onstar sos feature
As I was driving, the vehicle threw a CEL and I saw the RPM’s fall. This happened multiple times, twice at an all-way stop sign, and once at a major intersection resulting in me being stranded with my vehicle in the middle of an active roadway, unable to move my vehicle. I brought my vehicle into the Chevrolet Dealership and the service department is claiming that I need to pay $1500 for a fuel pump with a CEL code that is not able to be duplicated. There is a TSB 24-NA-139 regarding my issue saying that it is not the fuel pump, it is the fuel pump control module. My issue is that the…
While driving at a low speed power steering failed. This happened on two separate occasions once while turning into a parking lot the other while doing a u turn. On both occasions I was almost in a crash. The other vehicle had a slam on brakes to avoid my truck. The message on the dashboard was “service power steering drive with care”. The steering wheel is yanked out of my hands each time it loses power. After the ignition is turned off for five minutes the issue is resolved upon restarting the vehicle.
I was at a stop light. Let my foot off brake vehicle revved up and I launched into a vehicle in front of me. Check engine light was on before. Blinking, esc fault , forward collision detection was not working, traction control service light. Throttle body control issue detected code P0205. Valve timing issues detected codes p0353 p0355 p129f p0300. The wire above my shock bolt is completely cut into. GM did an investigation and said no issues were detected at all. There is a TSB for the wire chafing
I have a 2022 Chevrolet Z71 with a 6.2 l L87 engine. The motor blew up for what the recall is for from chevrolet.The crank and all that stuff seized up while my step son was driving it was told to burn Chevalier of rock. Hill, where they said, yep, this is the exact recall problem that we've been having with all these trucks. And the truck still isn't running, right?It's still knocking and making weird sounds and losing power after getting a new motor
I have a 2022 Chevy 2500HD diesel with 28,500 miles on it that recently went in for inspection. It FAILED the inspection due to the rear brake pads and rotors. These components are so bad that the rotors failed at less than 30k miles on them. Anything that has to do with a brake system puts everyone on the road at risk. The problem was repaired by the dealership at an astronomical price and other issues. No warning lamps or anything, in fact the brake pad wear sensor still read almost 40%.
These 6.2 Liters are failing and there is no fix. GM claims my motor passed a test but not knowing if and when it will break down leaving me stranded or worse in a horrible accident with engine failure is not safe. My lane assist is now out as well, the version is old and GM wants to charge to update it (only 60k miles on the truck). Top it off with this new recall my oil changes are over $150 for supercar oil. The deprecation of this truck with know recalls is another issue. I can't get rid of this because it isn't worth much anymore. DO NOT BUY GM OR CHEVY!! So sad to see them fail their…
On September 24, 2026, my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (5.3L V8, 10-speed automatic) suddenly stopped moving and the steering locked. The truck had to be towed to the Chevrolet dealer. This is a repeat failure. On June 17, 2026, at about 43,700 miles, the truck showed the warning "Service Transmission Now / Unable to Shift Soon" with code P07B4. The dealer ordered part 86277653 (automatic transmission shift control assembly), which was on backorder for weeks. Between June and September the truck was in the shop several times for the same problem and was returned to me as fixed. On September…
The vehicle is experiencing gear shifting failure. Specifically, when the transmission temperature reaches over 160 degrees, it shifts into limp mode and loses power, which creates a significant collision risk. Additionally, the forward collision warning system is not working at all.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the engine temperature increased while driving approximately 60 - 70 MPH. The message “Reduced Speed due to High Temperature” was displayed. The temperature gauge increased to high and then down to low. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was caused by the coolant control valve. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The contact was advised that an error message needed to be displayed before…
