2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — Known Issues & Recalls

After your truck was serviced for a recall on the 6.2L engine and given fresh oil, it lost power while you were driving and the check engine light turned on with a message indicating transmission failure. Your vehicle is now undrivable and is waiting for repair at a Chevrolet dealership. The repair will likely involve diagnostic testing to determine if the transmission needs servicing or replacement, and possibly checking whether the recall service affected the transmission system.

Your truck shut off unexpectedly while driving at 45 mph, and two weeks later developed a loud knocking noise from the engine. The dealership diagnosed a complete engine failure and determined your engine needs to be replaced. You're currently waiting for a replacement engine to arrive at the dealership, and despite the manufacturer's recall test and oil service, the underlying issue wasn't resolved. The repair will require a full engine replacement, which involves removing the failed engine and installing a new one.

Your coolant control valve has failed, which caused your radiator to overheat and now leak at a weld seam. The dealership acknowledges this is a known issue but is refusing to repair it. The repair will likely involve replacing the coolant control valve and possibly the radiator.

Your transmission stopped working properly—the "D" gear indicator was flashing and your truck wouldn't accelerate when you pressed the gas pedal. You also noticed the transmission was hard to shift into gear. This may require transmission repair or replacement to restore normal operation.

Your engine shut off while you were stopped at a traffic light, and when you tried to restart it three times, a warning light appeared indicating low oil pressure. The dealership determined your engine needs to be replaced. This left you stranded in freezing temperatures at a busy intersection, creating a safety hazard. The fix will require a complete engine replacement at a dealership.

Your engine failed after you completed a manufacturer-recommended recall that involved changing to a different oil. The failure occurred in the 6.2L L87 engine. You should have this diagnosed to determine if the recall procedure or the new oil specification contributed to the engine damage.

Your engine has suffered internal damage to cylinder 4, including a failed exhaust roller follower, damaged camshaft, and bent exhaust valves. Your vehicle shakes severely, won't accelerate properly, and has gone into limp mode with check engine lights. The dealership confirmed this requires a complete cylinder head replacement, which is a major engine repair.

Your engine has completely failed and needs to be replaced. This is a total engine failure in your 2022 Silverado 1500 with the 6.2L engine. The fix will involve replacing the entire engine with a new or rebuilt unit.

Your truck's fuel pump power control module failed without warning, causing a sudden loss of power and engine stall while you were driving on the highway. The vehicle would not restart and had to be towed to a dealer for repair. The manufacturer has issued recalls on other vehicles using the same part, suggesting this is a known issue.

Your 6.2L engine shut down without warning while driving at 70 mph on the interstate, and it won't restart. The dealer diagnosed it as seized and is replacing the engine. This happened two months after you had a recall completed that included an oil change to a heavier grade.

Your truck's emergency braking system (automatic emergency braking) isn't working as intended — it alerts you with lights and sounds but doesn't actually apply the brakes on its own. You've nearly hit other vehicles because of this, and a dealership told you this is normal behavior. Additionally, your truck has been misfiring, which triggered multiple service warning lights on your dashboard.

Your truck's brake warning light came on, and you discovered the rear brake pad clips were broken on both sides, causing the pads to sit incorrectly against the rotors. The rotors were heavily rusted because the brake pads weren't making proper contact, which required excessive pedal pressure to stop the truck. After replacing the pads and rotors, braking performance improved significantly. This suggests a potential design or assembly issue with the rear brake hardware on this model.

Your tailgate opens unexpectedly when you open your doors or while driving, creating a safety hazard if cargo falls onto vehicles behind you. The problem is caused by a faulty tailgate switch and has also drained your battery repeatedly, requiring jumps and causing electrical system malfunctions. The repair will involve replacing the tailgate latch switch assembly.

Your truck's fuel tank and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank are causing error codes that make the engine run poorly or lose power. This issue puts the vehicle into a reduced-power limp mode when the error codes trigger.

Your tailgate is clicking continuously and dropping open randomly whether you're parked or driving. This is draining your battery and leaving you without power. The issue likely involves a faulty tailgate latch mechanism or electrical control module that needs diagnosis and repair.

Your tailgate opened unexpectedly while you were driving with a trailer and backing up, causing it to hit the trailer and get damaged. There's a known recall for a faulty switch that can cause the tailgate to open on its own. Your dealer said they can only replace the switch, not the damaged tailgate, but you believe both should be replaced since the switch failure caused the damage.

Your transmission is shifting hard, especially when going from 1st to 2nd gear, and it jerks when you come to a complete stop. Sometimes your check engine light comes on and the transmission won't shift at all, which concerns you about safety. Other similar vehicles have had recalls for this same issue. A transmission fluid flush, filter replacement, or transmission software update may be needed to resolve this.

While turning left, your transmission stuttered and got stuck in first gear. You found this is a known issue affecting 2020-2022 Silverado 1500s, and a temporary fix worked briefly before you needed dealer service. Even though GM has offered a 15-year, 150,000-mile warranty for this problem, your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in the recall, and the repair cost nearly $4,000. The fix likely involves transmission fluid service, internal transmission component replacement, or a transmission software update.

Your truck's tailgate suddenly opened on its own without you starting the vehicle, and you experienced repeated battery failures. The dealer diagnosed that water was entering through a failed tailgate release assembly, causing electrical shorts. Replacing the tailgate exterior release assembly should resolve both the unwanted tailgate opening and the battery drain issues.

Your adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning systems stopped working. The dealership found that your windshield camera isn't receiving enough power and says they've seen this problem in many other trucks like yours, but there's no recall yet. The fix will likely involve checking the camera's power supply and wiring connections.
