Consumer Complaints (382)

ENGINE

Engine failure on our 4-cylinder- it just quits same problem as on the 6-cylinder - it just stops running or runs rough. No warning signs and no indication that it is about to fail. Hazardous on the freeway. Vehicle has been at the mechanics for a month now and GM keeps saying the engine is on backorder.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

I drive a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 3.0L Diesel with the 10-speed transmission. The transmission control software failed to monitor/detect valve body wear or trigger a 5th-gear 'limp mode' safety net, resulting in three separate instances of sudden rear-wheel lockup at speed. The dealer was unable to replicate the issue during a service visit from 6/10 - XXX. The issue was raised as the transmission was shifting increasingly badly leading up to this service visit. The first full lockup occurred a few days after receipt of the vehicle on XXX driving eastbound on [XXX]. Off the gas, coasting downhill. Once everybody started speeding up, I increased the throttle gently and the truck shook violently. I initially thought I had been hit by another vehicle but realized it was the transmission. Speed was noted 24 mph. The second incident occurred XXX while traveling to [XXX]. Driving southbound between [XXX] and [XXX] at approximately 50 MPH in a coasting condition. Went to pass a slow vehicle and the vehicle jerked violently an locked the rear wheels. Initial assumption was that I had been hit. Was able to regain control and continue. The third incident occurredXXX while traveling from [XXX] to [XXX]. Driving eastbound on [XXX] at approximately 35 mph, when moving from a coast to acceleration posture, the vehicle again locked the rear wheels and jerked violently. Finally, onXXX when traveling southbound from [XXX] to [XXX], I stopped for fuel. When attempting to accelerate onto the freeway, the vehicle failed to engage 6 gear, stumbled, and then went into limp mode with a check engine light. On XXX a [XXX] dealer found code P0747 and addressed the issue with [XXX]. I was forced to rent a car to continue my journey to [XXX]. GM ultimately shipped my truck back to me one week later. The software 'fix' clearly did not work as intended and remains a serious safety hazard. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Evaporative emissions purge pump failed at 18,473 miles. As the bumper-to-bumper warranty has expired GM refused to cover this repair. As this is a known problem with certain GM vehicles, the repair is covered for older model year out-of-warranty cars and for residents of other states (California, for example). This repair is covered by the emissions warranty in some states (California), but not Michigan.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

The contact's daughter owns a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While the contact's daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed evaporative emission purge pump. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was confirmed. The contact was informed that the repair was covered under an unknown recall. The contact was later informed that the repair was not covered under the unknown recall. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not associated with a recall. The vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,010.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

While driving at Interstate speeds, the engine abruptly stalled, causing an immediate loss of motive power. I was able to coast off the Interstate to a surface street then into a gas station parking lot. Once stopped, the engine would not start again. It would crank repeatedly but never fire, like it was out of gas, but I had nearly 1/2 tank still. This is a safety concern having a 3yr old truck just die on you at highway speeds. This vehicle matches the exact year, make, and model of the expanded GM Emission Recall Campaign N262558690-01 (NHTSA ID 11037321) for Fuel Pump Power Control Module failures, but the VIN is currently excluded."

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

This truck and hundreds, if not thousands of others has many issues with the electronic shifter. Not only do they frequently fail, but Chevrolet does not have any parts available to the dealerships for weeks. These Duramax 3.0 diesel engines are also a huge problem with the emission system and DEF. They constantly fail and we are spending thousands to repair. My truck is stuck at a dealership in [XXX]. I had to rent a vehicle to drive back home to [XXX]. The dealer has no idea how long it will take to get a shifter from Chevy. Is there any help available. Why aren't these shifters under a major recall? I am literally stranded after paying $65,000 for a truck! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact stated that the failure had occurred on one other occasion. The vehicle was not hauling a trailer at the time, and the grandson was inside the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that the vehicle was not covered under TSB: N242452103. The failure mileage was 22,500.

ENGINE

I was driving my 2023 silverado 1500 down the highway when my engine started loosing power and then shut completely down at 65 mph. My safety and others were at risk due to speed and loss of power. I was lucky enough to not be on an interstate or in a metropolitan area. This happened due to a recall on this particular motor from General Motors (6.2 Liter). My vehicle was taken to a local General Motors dealership and the engine replaced. There were no warnings or abnormal behaviors of the vehicle prior to and the vehicle was taken in for the recall prior to the incident. The motor oil was changed to the recommended 0-W40 by the dealership.

ENGINE

I have noticed a ticking noise that is coming from the engine, driver side, the tick after the recall was preformed, 5-23-2025. The tick has grown in loudness from that date. Took the truck to the dealership and they did a check but was unable to locate anything, no parts were removed and no witness marks on any of the engine areas Example oil pan and so on. I was told that they would charge me if the truck was brought back for the same issue per GM not the dealership. They have been doing my oil changes at a 3,000 mile interval. The tick has gotten progressively louder, and I am nervous about driving my truck but I can't not work.

ENGINE

On our way to [XXX], we heard a clacking noise coming from our engine. Pulled off the highway and had it towed to Reeder Chevrolet. It was Sunday XXX. On XXX we went to the dealer and they said we spun a connecting rod bearing and needed a new engine. Truck is a 2023 Slverado, 5,3 engine, with about 65000 miles on it. 5000 miles out of warranty. It took 18 days, and cost 12,214.37 to replace. Dealer stated that if I wanted to pursue a warranty claim, we would have tpo pay for them to disassemble the engine, diagnose the problem, then reassemble the engine, and they would send it to GM. GM would decide if it would be covered under warranty. If not, we would be out the cost of the diagnosis. I have always used 0W-20 full synthetic oil when an oil change was required. After searching this problem online, I found a tech service bulletin changing the requirement to 0W-40. We were never notified of the change, and the 2026 owners still say to use 0W-20. Attached are the invoice and recommendation to replace engine. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
