Engine locked up from crankshaft bearing failure, mega fuse blown My wife and I were driving 70mph on a highway when I lost the throttle and other power. I pulled over to the side the best I could but barely over the white line. It was a dangerous situation for us & tow trucks, the engine was locked up & the flat bed truck couldn't tow vehicle. The 2nd truck was a reaper style truck which was dangerous to setup on the side of highway. The dealership diagnosed and replaced engine to their guidelines. I requested the oil cooling lines & housing be replaced as well to avoid metal debris to enter new engine to avoid recurring engine failure. At first both requests were denied, then another dealer represntive said the oil lines would be replaced but the housing would not be. I even offered to pay for that replacement which was denied. I invested a lot into the vehicle, I was assured the original recall and engine oil change would be sufficient. I also purchased to dealer premium care package to really take care of my vehicle investment.Engine failure was around 29,000 miles. The engine failure happened on a Sunday morning, I didn't receive any loaner car or rental car until Thursday affecting my work transportation. Once the dealer rented me a car, I asked if I needed anything to pick up the car, dealer rep said no. Once at rental car place, I needed a credit card and ID, I was charged $250 for the time I had the rental car. The rental car was not close or comparable to my vehicle, which I still had to make payments while it was broken at the dealership. I really worry about my safety, reliability and travel going forward with this vehicle. I also am very concerned about the vehicle losing value due to known issues. There was no warning signs until the failure, I believe the dash message said 'please press start' or 'press start'. Overall this has been a tough and stressful situation with my expensive vehicle investment. Vehicle unavailable- 7/26-8/17

Unknown but there was many lights on at the time of brake failure. I was driving home from Florida to NJ with my four young children in the vehicle on a 65mph highway when all these lights came on, the brakes completely stopped working and it told me it was reducing speed to 62mph for safety because the brakes were failed. It also stated service svc. By the grace of god I was able to off-road it a bit to get it to slow down to a stop. The second time it happened was in my driveway parked. Inbetween the two incidents I brought my vehicle for regular service and asked them to look at the brakes again for me as this is a major safety concern as well as my transmission slipping and they complete refused and only changed my oil.

When restarted, multiple malfunction lights were lit: engine, ABS/brake, steering column, traction control, etc. Reached Onstar for advice to see if Tahoe was drive-able, but only got confirmation of system malfunctions and offered roadside assistance but declined since at home and would call back if needed. About an hour later and several restarts, all malfunction lights finally cleared except engine light, which stayed on for another day or so. Tahoe drove okay during engine light on.

Key fob does not work even when inside vehicle or either cup holders. I was able to use auto start a few times but having both keys inside or using one or the other spare or primary causes the no key fob message. The only thing that has worked has been to open hood, disconnect primary battery terminal and wait ten minutes. Afterwards, everything seems to be working. I refuse to believe that a brand new vehicle has to be operated in such a manner. I’m a nurse who works 15 hours a day and all I wanted was to go home to my family but now I’m stuck at work waiting for my husband to come disconnect my tahoes battery for ten mins before it hopefully works again.

On January 16, 2026, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query RQ26001. This investigation was opened to assess the remedy effectiveness of Recall 25V-274. ODI has received complaints alleging engine failure in vehicles after the recall remedy had been completed, whether that remedy involved an oil viscosity change or a complete engine replacement. General Motors (GM) issued Recall 25V-274 to address concerns of engine failure in the L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issue. GM’s recall remedy for Recall 25V-274 consisted of two different repairs, either an oil viscosity change or an engine replacement, based on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. ODI continues to receive reports of engine failures after the completion of the recall remedy. To date, ODI has received 499 complaints alleging post-remedy engine failure in vehicles subject to Recall 25V-274, 473 of which involved an oil viscosity change and 26 a complete engine replacement. Additionally, ODI has received 191 reports of L87 engine failures in engines produced after the production period cited in Recall 25V-274.

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. 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.
