Driving at highway speeds, truck downshifted to low gear causing a sudden deceleration and check engine light appeared along with 'Service Transmission' message. Was almost rear ended by multiple cars, but was able to guide truck to the shoulder through traffic. Shut down truck and restarted with message still appearing although gear shifting seemed to be normal. After stopping at a gas station to look up error, on next restart error cleared and truck drove for almost a week without issue and ~300-400 miles. Once again driving at highway speeds the same scenario happened with downshift in heavy traffic and had to pull to the shoulder. Waiting to bring to dealer, but mileage on truck is just over the 60,000 mi warranty period. Codes on reader indicate P0700 and P0747.

Driving down the road and the engine turns off with no warning lights, noise, or any indication of an issue. I was luckily able to use momentum and move to the side of the road. The Chevy dealer has inspected the engine and concluded that the engine is blown.

It burns around 2 quarts of oil within 5000 miles, so between oil changes. The add oil alert popped up while I was driving down the highway. My truck has 33500 miles on it, it should not be normal for a new truck to burn that much oil. They will not check my engine to identify the cause because they state it is within their standards.

I am filing a complaint regarding a potential recurring safety defect related to Recall NHTSA 25V274 (GM N252494001). On July 29, 2025, my vehicle stalled while driving on the highway and was towed to Quality Chevrolet. The dealer diagnosed a failed starter and battery fuse link. During this visit, I authorized inspection for Recall 25V274, concerning possible crankshaft or connecting rod failure. I was told my vehicle was not affected but the dealer performed the recall remedy by changing the oil to 0W-40. On October 5, 2025, the vehicle developed a loud knocking noise from the engine. Quality Chevrolet diagnosed a connecting rod failure, the same issue identified in the recall. On October 10, 2025, I was advised that GM approved a full engine replacement due to internal damage. However, I was also told the new engine will use lower viscosity 0W-20 oil, contradicting the prior remedy intended to prevent this failure. This suggests the original recall fix was only a temporary measure, and the defect remains unresolved. I request that NHTSA investigate whether the current recall remedy adequately corrects this safety issue and whether GM’s use of 0W-20 oil could allow repeat failures. Additionally, I request assistance or reimbursement for vehicle payments, as my vehicle has been undrivable for an extended period due to a manufacturer defect. Thank you for your time and attention. I can provide all service records and diagnostic reports upon request.
