My Silverado is a 2025 with the 6.2 engine and recently the dealer found metal shavings in the oil which is premature engine failure. My truck is not part of the recall because it is a newer year but these engines keep blowing up theres alot of us please help with another recall for the newer years.
The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The vehicle was restarted within seconds and the message "Push to Start" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
On XXX at ~3:00 p.m., I was driving my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country (VIN [XXX]) in stop-and-go highway traffic with Super Cruise engaged. The vehicle ahead was a truck towing a low, empty flatbed trailer. My truck came to a complete stop behind the trailer. While stopped, with no accelerator input from me, the vehicle accelerated forward on its own and struck the rear of the flatbed before I could intervene. My foot was not on the accelerator. It appears the forward sensors may not have detected the low, unloaded trailer as an obstacle, so when the system resumed from the stop it…
The specific cause has not been identified. On XXX6, my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom LT Trail Boss unexpectedly rolled away while parked and unoccupied, striking another parked vehicle. The truck remains at Modern Chevrolet and is available for inspection. GM/ESIS opened a safety and product liability investigation and is arranging inspection/data retrieval. I parked at Walmart in [XXX], shut the truck off, exited, locked it, and walked away. Shortly afterward, I heard a sound resembling the key-fob-left-inside warning. My key fob was in my pocket, so I returned and saw the truck…
Brakes failed going into busy intersection with coming traffic. It can be available for inspection. Applied the brakes to stop at stop sign. Truck didn’t slow down - brakes went hard and my truck kept going. Escaped collision of oncoming vehicles going 55mph. Turned the truck a sharp left landing in first lane of traffic and quickly put into reverse. Going into the dealership Monday morning to have it checked. Happed too fast to notice any warning lamps etc..
- Multiple system failure. Truck presented with oil or ATF leaking from the transmission bell housing and transmission inspection port cover. First detected by me at 30k mile oil change. Prior to this, my wife and I both complained that the truck was very slow to get into gear from a stop, especially while towing. Engine would rev and then finally dump power, spinning the rear tires. Additionally encountered hunting for gears on the highway. - Second failure. 24 AUG. Truck illuminated with Check engine light, Traction control light, forward collision light, service ECS, service trailer brake…
I was traveling at 65 mph when my truck engine shut off, put itself in neutral, asked me to push the start button. And then the screen went black. Would not go into neutral for a tow. Taken to dealer where I purchased it from. Was told that the motor is seized.
cold starts sometime there is an audible tick, there is also occasional low oil pressure and the gauge drops and returns to the normal range
I was driving on the freeway and got a service trailer brake system and a brake system failure 62mph top speed. I exited the freeway and came to a stop sign and hit my brakes to stop but was unable to stop and blew through the stop sign. Luckily there were no cars at the intersection and I was by myself.
3 weeks ago all the warning lights went off. The vehicle is still under warranty. I brought it to the dealership. They denied the warranty because of mud that was caked on the undercarriage damaging the wiring and steering assembly. This truck was used on a dirt driveway that gets wet and muddy during the spring. That is what a truck is for. I believe there is a manufacturing defect that caused this problem.
Safety Issue. The raised cruise control speed set button on the steering wheel is prone to being touched when rotating the steering wheel while making sharp turns when driving through parking lots at low speed. If the distance cruise was previously set at say 45 mph the last time it was used, and the set button is very briefly hit upward when rotating the wheel through your hands to the left, it can inadvertently cause the truck to start accelerating to that previously-set speed. The cruise button needs to be programmed such that at certain steering angles it will not respond to inputs. This…
