HAD MY TRUCK PARKED FOR 5 HOURS AT MY GRANDPARENTS WENT TO LEAVE AND HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH WHEN I STARTED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS FULL. SO I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT BACK UP AGAIN AND POWER STEERING WAS STILL OUT. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AGAIN AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES STARTED IT BACK UP AND THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL OUT BUT I WAS ABLE TO STEER EASIER THAN BEFORE SO I DROVE HOME. ALSO AT THE SAME TIME THE SERVICE ESC MESSAGE CAME ON ALONG WITH THE LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE SECOND TIME RESTARTING THE TRUCK THE SERVICE ESC MESSAGE AND LIGHT WENT AWAY. THE RECALL THAT WAS TO FIX THIS ISSUE HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED ON MY TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS WELL WHERE THE TRUCK WILL JERK INTO SECOND GEAR AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 2ND TO FIRST IT WILL JERK AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO BULLETINS ON THIS AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I ASKED THE SERVICE GUY THEN WHY DOES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGH IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG? I QUOTE "THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE TRUCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO SHIFT THAT WAY".

VEHICLE IS PRODUCING A HARD SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR PRIMARILY ON COLD STARTS. MORE RECENTLY IS HAS BEEN DOING MORE THROUGH OUT THE DAY BUT NOT AS SERVE. THIS STARTED AROUND 7500 MILES, CURRENTLY AT 23,000+. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TO THREE DEALERS (6+ ATTEMPTS) WITH NO RESOLUTION. ONE DEALER TOOK THE VALVE BODY OFF FOR INSPECTION AND CLEANING. OTHER DEALERS HAVE TRIED REPROGRAMMING. LAST ATTEMPT AT REPAIR WAS THE WEEK 8/25/2020 WITH NO RESOLUTION AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE (HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK). THE NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE HARSH SHIFT TWICE IN ONE DAY. I ALSO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AT CONSTANT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45 & 60MPH. A BULLETIN CAME OUT FROM GM THE WEEK OF 8/25/2020 INDICATING NOTE TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AS THIS IS NORMAL. HOW IS THIS NORMAL WHEN IT SHIFT SO HARD IT THROUGH THE OCCUPANTS FORWARD AND REARWARD IN THE SEAT. HOW IS THIS SAFE FOR A YOUNG CHILD/TODDLER? THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE WHIPLASH IN YOUNGER CHILDREN. I HAVE IN FIRM BELIEVE THIS IS A CAUSE FOR MY NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. AS AN ADDED NOTE: I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GM EXECUTIVE RESOLUTION TEAM ON THIS ISSUE AND AGAIN NO RESOLUTION. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE COMING ON BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OFF AND THE KEY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AGAIN DEALERS CANNOT DUPLICATE EVEN THOUGH ONE SERVICE REP WITNESSED IT WHILE DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE PERFORMING BRAKE SERVICE AS THE BRAKE COULD ACTIVATE AND CAUSE A PINCH POINT. OVERALL I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES REGARDING RADIO, DIC DISPLAY & CRUISE CONTROL. ONLY THE DIC DISPLAY HAS BEEN CORRECTED. I ALSO HAVE HAD LEAKING REAR SLIDER AND SQUEAKS IN THE FRONT LEFT DASH, RIGHT FRONT FLOORBOARD AND UPPER LH B-PILLAR. I ALSO HAD THE LEFT DASH PANEL REPLACED DUE TO A BROKEN TAB. VIDEO UPON REQUEST

These engines are installed in Model Years (MY) 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and 2021-2024MY Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV vehicles. The subject engine failures were investigated as part of a Preliminary Evaluation (PE25001). GM determined that these engine failures were due to multiple supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the supplier manufacturing and quality issues produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. Based on the issuance of recall 25V-274, NHTSA has closed PE25001. ODI continues to receive a significant number of reports of engine failure in vehicles outside the scope of 25V-274. This presents a potential safety risk that warrants further investigation. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis (EA) to further evaluate the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues of vehicles built outside the recall scope.

PE25001 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure
Opened Jan 16, 2025 · Closed Oct 23, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical
On January 16, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE25001 after receiving complaints and field reports concerning engine failures in MY2019-2024 GM’s full-size truck and SUV T1XX platform equipped with the L87 6.2L V8 engine. These complainants alleged engine bearing failures resulting in knocking and growling noises from the engine’s bottom end and in some cases more severe consequences such as broken connecting rods leading to engine damage, or engine failure. If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. On April 24, 2025, GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the concern with L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM’s recall remedy will be either an oil change to an oil with a different viscosity or engine replacement depending on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. To date, ODI has received 1,157 allegations of engine bearing failure. GM submitted 55,464 reports in total, with 29,752 unique VINs. ODI continues to receive allegations of L87 engine failures which fall outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. Based on GM’s recall, ODI will close this PE. NHTSA will continue to investigate complaints of engine failure outside the scope of recall 25V-274 as part ofEngineering Analysis (EA25007).
