AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE PRESSURE PROBLEMS. THE AUTOMATION TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM ZERO MILES PER HOUR OR AT LOW SPEEDS. IT CAN DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE RATE OF AN INCIDENT DUE TO THE POWERFUL MOVEMENT THAT THE MOVEMENT DOES TO THE WHOLE TRUCK. YOU CAN THEN FEEL THE WHOLE TRUCK SWAY BACK AND FOURTH DUE TO THE IMPACT. THIS "JERKING" FROM THE START CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF HITTING ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE OF IT NOT BEING CONTROLLED PROPERLY WHEN MOVING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY AREAS SUCH AS HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC AREAS, HIGH COUNTS OF PEDESTRIANS WALKING ACROSS THE STREET, PARALLEL PARKING, AND PARKING CLOSE TO ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF YOU OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF OBJECT IN FRONT OF YOU. THE BRAKE APPLICATIONS TAKE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT ALL GIVEN TIMES. MY TRUCK IS BRAND NEW AND PURCHASED ON 9/18/2019.
WITH ONLY 500 MILES ON THE TRUCK/ENGINE OIL PRESSURE HAS BEEN DROPPING DRASTICALLY WHILE GOING FROM DRIVE TO IDLE. IT DROPS FRIM 60 TO UNDER 30. ALSO BATTERY POWER GAUGE DROPS WELL BELOW 14 WHEN ORIGINALLY WAS OVER 14. THIS ALSO BEGAN AT THE SAME TIME OIL PRESSURE ISSUES BEGAN.
JUST DRIVING LOST BRAKES AND ESC CAME ON WON'T SPEED UP
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR/75 MILES. I PULLED OVER TO CLEAN OUT MY TRUCK. I PARKED IN A VACANT PARKING LOT. THE TRUCK'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR/75 MILES. I PULLED OVER TO CLEAN OUT MY TRUCK. I PARKED IN A VACANT PARKING LOT. THE TRUCK'S ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. IT WAS PARKED AT THE TOP OF A HILL. I GOT OUT OF THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT, AND WALKED AROUND BEHIND TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, AND CLEANED OUT SOME TRASH. I THEN WALKED BACK AROUND TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, AND REMOVED MORE TRASH. I WALKED ABOUT 15-25 FEET AWAY, TO PUT THE TRASH IN THE GARBAGE CAN. THE TRUCK MADE A WEIRD 'CHIRP-CHIRP-CHIRP' ALARM/ELECTRICAL TYPE NOISE, AND THEN DROVE BACKWARDS. THE REVERSE LIGHTS WERE ON. I RAN AFTER THE TRUCK, THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS LOCKED. I PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR AND HOPPED UP ON THE RUNNING BOARD. I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND JUMPED IN, AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. I STOPPED THE TRUCK, LITERALLY ONE FOOT FROM GOING OVER AN 8 FOOT CONCRETE EMBANKMENT. I AM REALLY TERRIFIED BY WHAT HAPPENED. IT WAS IN PARK. IT HAS THAT NEW SYSTEM WHERE THE KEYS STAY IN YOUR POCKET AND EVERYTHING IS PUSH BUTTON (START, UNLOCK) THE VEHICLE'S COLUMN SHIFTER WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK. PHOTOS: 1.) THIS IS THE HILL, AND SPACE I WAS PARKED IN. 2.) THESE ARE MY TIRE TRACKS, MY TRUCKS TIRES HIT THAT SHEET METAL, AND YOU CAN SEE THE APPROXIMATE 8 FOOT DROP WITH THE DUMPSTERS. 3.) THIS SHOWS THE CONCRETE SPEED BUMP THING THAT MY TRUCK BACKED OVER WHEN IT WAS ROLLING OUT OF CONTROL THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MECHANICALLY POSSIBLE. IF IT WAS IN PARK IT CAN'T HAPPEN (THEORETICALLY) IF IT WAS IN REVERSE, IT WOULD HAVE BACKED UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER LETTING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. IF IT HAD BEEN IN NEUTRAL, IT WOULD HAVE DRIFTED BACKWARDS IMMEDIATELY DUE TO THE GRADE OF THE HILL. IF IT HAD BEEN IN DRIVE OR LOW, IT WOULD HAVE MOVED FORWARD, OR STAYED STILL.
THE CHROME SURROUNDING THE AIR VENTS CAN REFLECT THE SUN IN A MANNER THAT BLINDS THE DRIVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING NORTH IN THE AFTERNOON. IT FORCES ME TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD, AND CAUSES IMPRINTING IN MY VISION, WHICH REDUCES MY ABILITY TO SEE WHEN DRIVING.
THIS VEHICLE IS A BRAND NEW 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 TRAIL BOSS. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 4.3L V6.

THIS VEHICLE IS A BRAND NEW 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 TRAIL BOSS. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 4.3L V6. THE FIRST TIME BACKING UP IN MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERED EVERYTIME I TOUCHED THE BRAKE PEDAL. I REPEATED BACKING UP SEVERAL TIMES AND AT ONE POINT THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERED AND WENT OFF (SCREEN WENT BLANK/BLACK WITH A MESSAGE "SERVICE REAR VISION SYSTEM". WHEN THE BACKUP CAMERA CAME BACK ON THE GUIDELINES FOR BACKING UP HAD DISAPPEARED. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE GUIDELINES BACK ON THE SCREEN UNTIL I CHANGED THE SHIFTER TO DRIVE OR PARK THEN BACK INTO REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN REPEATEDLY FLICKERS AND INTERMITTENTLY WILL GO BLANK WITH A LOSS OF GUIDELINES. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 4/1/19. THEIR REPORT WAS THAT THE SYSTEM DID IN FACT FLICKER AND THE SCREEN SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY HOWEVER STATED IT IS "NORMAL" FOR THESE VEHICLE. THEY GAVE ME A 2019 SILVERADO LOANER WITH THE SAME ACCESSORY PACKAGE AND THAT CAMERA DID THE SAME THING. THE DEALER NOTED THAT THEY TESTED MULTIPLE SIMILAR MODEL VEHICLES AND THEY ALL PERFORMED THE SAME WAY. THE DEALER MENTIONED IT OCCURRING ON THE MODEL WITH THE SMALLER DISPLAY SCREEN AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT OCCURRING WITH THE LARGER DISPLAY SCREEN. MY CONCERN IS HAVING CHILDREN IF BACKING UP AND THE SCREEN MOMENTARILY BLANKS OUT I LOSE REAR BACKUP CAMERA VISION CAUSING A POTENTIALLY FATAL CATASTROPHE. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS WITH LESS THAN 20MILES ON IT AND NOW WITH APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES ON IT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. I AM CONCERNED THAT A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS ISSUE BE RESOLVED AND ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER FOR GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 1,157 reports of engine bearing failure failures in the L87 6.2L engine produced by General Motors (GM). Of the 1,157 reports received, 173 are outside of the scope of recall 25V-274.

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.

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.

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).
