Your engine suddenly seized and stopped while you were driving, leaving you stranded in traffic for 2 hours. The engine had been inspected under a safety recall just 4 months earlier and passed after an oil viscosity change, but it still failed without warning. The engine had to be completely replaced at the dealership. This issue prevented the transmission from shifting out of park, trapping the vehicle on the roadway.

Your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 stalled without warning while driving at 70 mph and wouldn't restart. The dealer diagnosed a complete engine failure requiring replacement at 45,000 miles. This happened even though the dealer had recently inspected your vehicle for a related recall and found no issues at that time. The engine replacement is being covered under warranty, but you were not offered a rental vehicle during repairs.

Your engine suddenly lost power while driving on the highway, forcing you to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. The engine was making a knocking sound before it failed completely, and there were no warning lights on your dashboard. The dealership is replacing the entire engine with a new one and switching to a different oil type, but you're concerned about the engine failing again in the future, especially at highway speeds.

Your engine has shut down multiple times while driving at highway speeds without warning, displaying a 'press start again' message on the dashboard. This happened despite the truck passing GM's diagnostic test and having metal debris found in the oil filter during a recall-related service visit. The dealership has determined your engine needs to be replaced.

Your fuel gauge stopped working correctly and showed inaccurate fuel levels, causing your truck to nearly enter a reduced-power mode with a "Refuel - EMPTY Now" warning. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a failed DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) tank. The repair hasn't been completed because the replacement DEF tank is on backorder from the manufacturer.

I get alert saying low oil pressure and the truck turned it's self off and won't start back up. And I got car's and 18 wheelers coming up from behind. They're not paying attention to my emergency lights flashing. It did this twice on me, first time in my neighborhood and the second time on major road with a lot of traffic. I call GMC Corporate office and they know about the Recall on the 2024 GMC Sierra engine cutting off. I was told I need to get a picture or video of the dashboard say low oil pressure and video with me trying to start it back up. I guess I'll have to get hit or kill for them to replace the engine. I have no documentation because I have no picture or video. Didn't know I was supposed to take a picture or video.
My truck started knocking and while driving home and it died on me in the middle of a busy street and would not start. I waved down a police officer and he kept me safe from cars hitting from behind.Come to find out it was the bearing rod and now I’m getting my engine replaced. My truck is a 2024 gmc sierra with 9,000 miles on it.
On 5 Feb 2026 I was starting my 4-hour drive back home. 15 minutes into my drive my truck lost power, several lights and the engine light came on. Truck was sputtering and making harsh engine noises and shut off on me. I was forced to exit Loop 2 (a major highway). Once I was able to restate the truck I went straight to the dealership. This truck had the recall done 15 Oct 2025. However, this issues still occurred. The motor gave out. Truck is 83K in mileage. well under 100K. Cost estimate is $6.5K. The technician informed me that a lifter collapsed in cylinder 5. This is clearly still part of the GMC recall issue for the 6.2L engines. What is my next step in this process. If I knew there was a major issue with these Trucks, I probably would not have purchased it. All maintenance has been done with same dealership to keep all service records excess able.

The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) in October 2025, and the vehicle was taken for inspection. The vehicle passed the inspection, and the recall was closed. The following month, while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power and decelerated to approximately 30 MPH with an abnormal clanking sound coming from near the engine compartment. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road and waited before driving 30 MPH to a nearby dealer. The check engine warning light and an unknown sensor light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that there was a loss of power due to engine failure and that the engine needed to be repaired. The engine was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
my truck has not been added to the 6.2 engine recall. I have several cases of friends and acquaintances who have had multiple engine failures (including replacements)with this same engine where their trucks shut down in the middle of the highway. I’ve tried speaking with GMCs customer warranty department to get details on why my engine has not been recalled and no one including them, my selling dealer or my service dealer can explain why it has not been recalled. I do not feel safe driving this truck and I’ve come to the point where I do not feel GMC has been honest with me about this engine. I’m actively reading dozens and dozens of cases each week where some GMC trucks are on their 3 or more engine. (engines produced in 2025 and late 2024). facebook page called gm 6.2l engine and bearing failure 2019-2024 discussion group has nearly 5,000 active members on it. I’m even getting conflicting information form gmc and dealers on what oil the truck should have.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to the highway divider and stop the vehicle. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine had suffered a catastrophic failure and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact informed the dealer of the issue and was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,504.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle started losing automotive power and stalled. The contact frantically maneuvered the vehicle across three lanes of highway traffic to get to the right shoulder and park the vehicle. During the failure, the check engine warning light and several other unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The contact had previously received a letter regarding NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 48,301.
I brought my 2024 Sierra in for its L87 recall. It passed. Two weeks later I had to bring it in for check engine light. They reset the system under a TSB that is known to occur with the l87 recall. Not a total of 300 miles of passing the recall I was driving and the engine started making a horrible noise and I started experiencing loss of power. I managed to get the vehicle safely parked. The dealer pulled the oil filter and said it had 100% metal contamination in the oil. The filter looked like a glitter bomb went off. It took 3 weeks, they replaced the engine with a remanufactured engine even though I told them new only. They also had to replace the radiator as it was polluted with metal.
12/7/2025 8:48 AM Engine lost propulsion while driving 35mph enroute to residence. The engine cut off and at the same time we saw a cloud of blue smoke trailing the vehicle. The engine refired and propulsion resumed. I immediately looked at the dash display for an indicator light resulting from the lack of propulsion. There were no unusual indicator lights or messages but the tachometer needle dropped about an inch and went back up again rapidly. The engine had resumed running. This loss of propulsion and resumption occurred two more times while my foot was off the accelerator. After the third incident the vehicle seemed to be running normally. I stated we had only about two miles to get home and I hope we make it. The next day I called DeLuz service department to notify them of the incident. I left a message but my call was not returned. I updated service staff of the new incident when I dropped the vehicle off for a previously scheduled appointment on 12/11/25.
My truck completely stalled and had to be restarted. I took it to the dealership to have it resolved. They wouldn’t look at the truck without a recall notice. Now there is a recall notice for my exact issue. I took it to be repaired by them but now they are saying that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and are refusing to do anything about it stalling. They specifically said that I will have to stall and potentially get in a car wreck before they will repair the damaged engine. I have been very disappointed in this entire situation and would like to avoid driving a car that may end up crashing due to a preventable problem.
While driving my 2024 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate on the highway, the engine suddenly failed without warning. The truck shut off completely while I was traveling at highway speed. I was fortunate to be able to safely maneuver to the shoulder, but the sudden loss of power created a serious risk of a collision with surrounding traffic. The failure appears to involve the engine or engine control system. The vehicle engine is currently available for inspection upon request. Prior to the incident, there were no warning lights, messages, or unusual symptoms. The shutdown occurred abruptly with no prior indication of a problem. This vehicle previously received the NS25249400 safety recall repair on August 12, 2025, and it reportedly passed all required checks at that time.
https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCRIT-25V274-6343.pdf Safety Recall N252494001 L87 Engine Loss of Propulsion I am currently writing due to my vehicle falling under the guidelines of this recall but it is not listed in the recalls. I have been in contacts with GM directly as they say because it is not listed on NHTSA as a saftey recall they will not cover the cost. I am writing to try to get this listed as I currently can not get an oil change at any location but a GM dealer because it is listed in the systems.
On Dec 4, 2025, my wife was driving at night on a Texas road going 75mph. Her truck died while driving and the truck shifted into neutral and computer said to restart. When she did, all electrical power was lost including headlights while traveling at 75mph at night. Vehicle eventually was started after she got to the side of the road. A check engine light was present. She made it to her destination with no further problems. Vehicle was taken to the dealership the next day. They said that she may have catastrophic engine failure that is common on the 6.2 liter GM motors.
While traveling on highway, engine suddenly just stopped. Unable to restart engine and had to coast to side of road with high speed vehicles almost hitting us several times. Towed to dealership and told metal found in oil filter. Told engine had to be replaced. Vehicle was inspected 3 weeks before by dealership and told everything was fine.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH and attempting to make a right turn while depressing the accelerator pedal, the contact heard a popping sound coming from the front driver’s side and three of the wheels attempted to switch to 4WD; however, the driver’s side wheel failed to respond as intended. The contact was able to pull over to the right side of the road. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the result was not provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE and ENGINE COOLING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.
On 29 November 2025 at approximately 1700hrs, I was driving my Blue 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X outside of Pampa, TX. As I was driving to my hunting location, my truck turned itself off and placed itself in neutral. I was driving about 30 mph down a single farm road with another vehicle approaching me from the front. I was unable to pull to the side due to farmland. I was able to flash my lights to get the other vehicle to slow down before having an incident. During this time, I had to let the truck slow down to a stop. My vehicle was already inspected for the engine recall and I was informed I had nothing to worry about. That everything was good. The truck is at Greg Lair in Canyon, TX. It did put me and my passenger as risk. I did not receive any warning before my truck turned off. The dealer confirmed today that the engine had seized. The engine was inspected during the summer before this issue. I had not warning when this happened. Was just driving and lost power. Looked down at the display and it stated to restart engine. I noticed my truck was in neutral when it came to a stop.
The recall you are showing was completed 300 miles ago. There were no outstanding recalls on my vehicle on November 23, 2025. On this day I was driving home, at night and I heard a loud flapping sound coming from the front of my vehicle. I pulled over and checked the front and wheel wells, nothing was stuck. I got back in and started driving the flapping sound was coming as I pressed the gas, when coasting with no gas, there was no flapping sound. I managed to make it home and GM towed my truck the next day. The shop has informed me that the engine is gone. Even though I did the recall 300 miles ago, it was directly what they were looking for in the recall and did not find it. This clearly put me in danger.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 30-35 MPH, the oil pressure warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over into a gas station. Upon further investigation, the contact noticed that the oil level was low. The contact added two quarts of oil to the engine. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while the vehicle was at the dealer for an oil change and the contact informed the dealer of the low oil pressure. The dealer inspected the engine but found no cause for the failure. The contact stated that afterwards, the oil pressure warning light was intermittently illuminated. The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact had to check the oil levels every two weeks. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.
I was operating my GMC Sierra 1500 SLT in Hilo HI. As I was slowly turning left from [XXX] onto [XXX] my vision was drawn to the rear view mirror. My wife and I observed a huge smoke like cloud above the tailgate of my truck and beyond. I immediately reduced my already slow speed. Traffic was heavy and I was unable to safely assess the problem on the spot. When I arrived at my destination a few blocks away I found no physical evidence that it had occurred. It has not happened since. Even so, we were concerned enough to make an appointment with DeLuz Chevy in Hilo for assessment. Unfortunately in the interim I experienced another problem with the truck and asked that it also be addressed during the smoke related appointment. Again unfortunately the DeLuz service department did not assess the smoke incident during the service visit. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owned a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that while driving at 16 MPH, the engine suddenly stalled. No warning lights were illuminated.

The driver-side and passenger-side air bags. A police report was filed. The contact sustained minor injuries to his foot. No medical attention was provided. No passengers in the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The vehicle was not inspected. The insurance company was notified. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and pending an investigation.

GM has identified my vehicle as having a problem "If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.". It has been almost 6 months since this issue was identified and yet GM has failed to address the issue in my vehicle. I believe this problem should be immediately corrected and if it results in my or my families injory GMC should be considered grossly negligent for their failure to promptly correct the issue.

I received a letter from GMC almost 4 months ago telling me that my 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 was recalled due to an engine safety issue. The letter stated that there was no remedy yet and that a subsequent letter would be sent with instructions on how to have repairs done. I never received a second letter. Also, my GMC app stated that the vin had an incomplete recall. Today the app states that there are no incomplete or completed recalls. I called my dealer and they said they know nothing about the recall and I should just wait. This is unacceptable and I need some type of resolution.

I have not had an incident yet. However GM itself has told us that the car has a high probability of having a major problem while driving and it has caused numerous injury related accidents. In fact, they will not let us trade the vehicle or sell the vehicle because the car is dangerous to drive. They also have no timeline on fixing the vehicle, which requires an engine replacement. This is also an environmental problem as the temporary mitigation of the problem (I say mitigation because it does NOT solve the problem) significantly changes the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. GM should be forced to let us trade the vehicle back with a solid valuation of our vehicle as if the problem did not exist. No solution short of putting a new engine in the vehicle or allowing us to trade the vehicle in immediately should be acceptable. NHTSA is aware of the problem but for some reason seems to be ignoring it. When VW had an engine problem, which was not a safety hazard, VW made it right. GM has no intention of doing anything about it.

AS PART OF THE ENGINE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE I HAD A REPAIR SCHEDULED AT PARKS GMC IN GREENVILLE, SC LOCATED ON LAURENS RD. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD THE PARTS AND PROTOCOL BUT COULD NOT REPAIR MY RECALL BECAUSE GENERAL MOTORS WAS AT RANDOM SELECTING VIN NUMBERS TO DETERMINE WHICH ONES THEY WOULD REPAIR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR (KEVIN BLACKSTON) TOLD ME THAT GM WAS FIXING NEW VEHICLES FIRST AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHEN MINE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN SCHEDULE ME IN TO PERFORM THE REPAIR AND THEN REFUSE TO MAKE THE REPAIR STATING THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTIONS WHEN IN FACT THE SERVICE ADVISOR EXPLAINED IN DETAIL WHAT WOULD BE PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. HOW CAN GM ALLOW PEOPLE TO BE ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE YET HAVE THE PARTS ON THE SHELF TO MAKE NEEDED REPAIRS. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT THIS DEALERSHIP IS USING THIS RECALL TO [XXX] CLIENTS. A FEW MONTHS BACK WHEN I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY SENT ME A TEXT MAKING AN OFFER IF I WAS INTERESTED IN SELLING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT IN TO GET THE VEHICLE APPRAISED THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDNT OFFER ME THE AMOUNT IN THE TEXT MESSAGE BECAUSE THE RECALL HADNT BEEN REPAIRED AND AT BEST COULD GIVE ME ABOUT 9,000 LESS. WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE GETTING OVER ON PEOPLE AND MAKING A LOT MORE MONEY OFF OF GMs MISTAKE. I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO SELL MY VEHICLE AND GET ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I AM STUCK WITH THIS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE WHILE THE DEALERSHIP HOLDS ON TO PARTS FOR OTHER VEHICLES. I NEED ASSISTANCE IN PUSING PARKS GMC TO MAKE THE NEEDED REPAIRS. IF THE ENGINE WERE TO BREAKDOWN BEFORE THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED I COULD BE OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR MONTHS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL AND WORK THAT HAS TO CONTINUE WITH OUR WITHOUT A GOOD VEHICLE. ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! ALSO I HAVE ALREADY CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
GMC has been aware of this problem since May 2025. They still do not have a remedy. This vehicle has not been operated for 41 days, since the recall states "The connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components in these vehicles may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure. If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash." Letter sent to GMC, but this site is not allowing me to download it. Safety recall N252494000
I purchased my GMC Sierra AT4 from your Oman GMC distributor called Moosa Abdulrehman Hassan. The vehicle suddenly stops and transmission automatically shift from 'D' driving mode to 'N' natural. First it happened when the vehicle driven 200km only when I took it to dealer Moosa Abdulrehman Hassan, they re-programmed the vehicle and doesn't know what the problem is. Second time happened when the vehicle was driven approx. 1,600 km and 3rd time again happened on [XXX], engine stopped and transmission shifted automatically from D to N, I have to start the engine and continue my journey. Again, I brought the vehicle to GMC dealer Moosa Abdulrehman Hassan. They kept the vehicle for almost one week and unable to demonstrate or diagnose the problem and asked me to collect the vehicle. Its high risk to drive the vehicle, when suddenly the engine stops and the gear shift from 'D' to 'N' while driving. I had option to choose, Ford 150 or Dodge Ram I bought GMC because it suppose to be reliable and have the best safety features. But I really regret now why I have purchased it, there are no technicians in Oman with GMC dealer to identify and fix the problem. I can't drive the vehicle in such condition, risking my life and life of other drivers on the road. The vehicle is parked in my Garage, it new vehicle just completed 1800 km. The the dealer the solution is very simple, either fix the issue, or replace the car or refund my money back, the dealer is not doing any of these. Before taking legal action and reporting it to the court, which will bring shame to GMC reputed brand. I though I'll give my final try to report it to you. You are the manufacturer may be have a solution. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I recently purchased a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. On July 14, 2025, I was informed of a recall involving the L87 engine and a risk of loss of propulsion. This is a major safety concern that can cause the vehicle to suddenly lose power while driving. I was advised not to drive the truck due to safety reasons, but GM has not released a fix or repair solution for this recall. This issue puts my safety and the safety of others at serious risk, as the vehicle could lose power without warning on the road. I contacted the dealership (Findlay Chevrolet, Las Vegas) and GM directly, but no timeline or resolution has been provided. I am now stuck with a vehicle I cannot legally or safely drive and no support from the manufacturer to resolve the issue. There were no warning lamps or prior symptoms before the recall was issued. The problem has been acknowledged by the manufacturer but remains unresolved. The vehicle has been inspected and the recall confirmed by the dealership, but they stated there is no fix currently available. I am requesting that NHTSA take this seriously and put pressure on GM to either provide a safe solution, a loaner vehicle, or a buyback program until the recall can be resolved.
Dealership is unable to remedy issue stated on recall notice in a timely manner, I stopped by today and they told me they can’t do it right now and they have no idea when they will be able to so in the meantime drive it, to which I stated just drive it and if the engine fails on me then oh well? And they said yes there’s nothing we can do right now. Ridiculous putting my family’s safety at risk if the engine fails and they won’t even do the inspections

I received the vehicle recall from GMC and contacted my dealership to inform them I was having a lagging issue with power in my truck. I inquired if I can bring the truck in to have it looked at under the recall, but was informed that no remedy was provided, and I also have to wait until my VIN# came up for inspection which no date or time frame was available. The next question I ask was can I get a loaner vehicle based on the recall which can cause an accident with engine propulsion failure. The local dealership and GM failed to provide a loaner vehicle which I feel unsafe driving my current vehicle. I also asked the dealership if GM is willing to buy the vehicle back from me and yet again, no response. Local dealership is Heritage Buick GMC of Rockwall Texas.

I am filing a formal complaint against GMC and R.B. Fries GMC regarding a catastrophic engine failure that occurred in my 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali just over a month after purchase, with only 1,188 miles on the vehicle. The engine completely failed and had to be fully replaced. I contacted GMC and submitted a claim seeking a buyback or replacement under the Lemon Law and warranty protections. My claim was rejected, and I was offered no resolution, despite the seriousness of the failure and the fact that it occurred under normal use and well within the warranty period. This alone was unacceptable, but the situation has worsened. The truck is now experiencing additional issues, and I have scheduled an appointment with Eynon GMC (earliest available: June 23, 2025, scheduled through Karen). In the meantime, I am reaching out to other GMC dealers in hopes of getting service sooner, as I no longer trust this vehicle at all. This has been the worst automotive experience I’ve ever had. I expected a reliable product and proper customer support for a brand-new truck, especially one marketed as premium. Instead, I am left with serious concerns for my safety and financial loss. All communication is attached, and I do have witnesses for my claims including phone conversations with service and sales. As of today, I was again told by a phone call from GM that they will offer me nothing. The dealer I purchased it from has not responded. The Truck if I can find someone to take it on a trade (as most are refusing-even GMC dealers) are offering over 10K less than paid.
I received a recall notice for my 2024 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate (6.2L engine), related to defective lifters that can cause engine damage. My truck was built in April 2024, and I've been told by some sources that certain 2024s may have the updated lifters, but neither my dealership nor GMC will confirm whether my truck is affected or safe. I’ve asked multiple times for VIN-specific confirmation of the engine components — no one has been able to tell me if my vehicle has the faulty parts or not. I was told to just keep using the oil they recommend or wait for a diagnostic tool GM hasn’t even released yet. That’s not enough. I’m planning to take my family, including my grandchildren, on a long road trip soon, and I don’t feel safe putting them in this truck without answers. For a vehicle that cost over $85,000, I shouldn’t be left guessing whether the engine could fail on the road. I’m filing this complaint because GM is not giving me a straight answer, and I think this is a serious safety concern.
I learned 2 weeks ago my 6.2L was part of the recall. I took a business trip in the truck with about 19,000 miles last week. I got home Friday noon. Truck was parked from Friday till this afternoon. Went to remote start it, it started, was misfiring and stalled, I could hear what I thought was a rod clanking. I got in the truck, started it with the start button, same thing. Had my 19yr old son start it with me laying on the driveway listening. It was clearly a rod or bearing making noise. I’m fortunate this happened in my driveway and not on my hour drive Friday. Truck will be towed to dealer Monday 6/2, but I suspect this motor has failed with 20,000 miles for the same reason it was recalled.

starting in June of 2024 at 6500 miles my truck started exhibiting loud exhaust drones and severe vibrations coming through the dash, floorboard and steering column on excelleration. The truck has been in repair 7 times in the past 11 months and multiple parts have been changed. I learned that there are thousands of General Motors 1500 trucks equipped with the 3.0 LZ0 Duramax diesel engine exhibiting the same symptoms. A General Motors Field Engineer found Broken exhaust bracket studs at the engine block caused by exhaust alignment and engine/transmission mount stress from worn components. These trucks are coming from the factory this way and continues with 2025 model year. My son owns a 2025 GMC AT4X 3.0 LZO and has the exact same symptoms.

I have received the notice about the recall and now I am just worried because I have a wife and two-year-old child in my truck. I don't want the engine issue to happen while they are in the truck and increases the risk to get into an accident if the engine fails. I have tried to schedule an appointment with my dealership and from the date I received notice on 04/28/2025. They stated I have to call back in two weeks which should be unacceptable because how about if the engine fails within the two weeks and causes even more issues for me and my family. This should be approached much quicker and fix the matter asap.
I had an engine failure with a complete loss of power while driving on a state highway early on 12/13/24. No lights, hazard lights, nothing would turn on for over 10 minutes, then once started my truck said "shut off engine, low oil pressure". There was a bearing failure that sent metal fragments all through the engine. My truck went into the dealership on 12/17/24 and i received it back with a new engine on 4/18/25. It has the same L87 engine with the same recommended oil as before the recall. I asked GMC to buy it back from me because it's neither dependable or safe after what happened. I was refused without being given a reason.
On April 21, 2025 around 11pm, I was entering my neighborhood, I was slowing to a stop, the truck shut off, shifted to neutral on its own. Clusters were still on though, no error codes other than instruction to turn ignition back on. I tried for over 20 minutes with no luck. I placed the truck in park and shut it off after that I couldn't get it change back to neutral. Was on the phone with onstar and recorded it. Eventually it turned on with check engine light, made it home. On April 22, 2025, I dropped it off at Classic Buick GMC 16835 Katy Fwy, Houston, Texas 77094. Service rep informed me I will require a new engine as there are metal shavings in the oil filter as a result of worn cam shaft bearings. They have had the truck at their shop since the incident.
I leased a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate with the 6.2L V8 engine. The vehicle experienced multiple engine-related issues over time, including stalling on [XXX], and again in early 2025. On [XXX], the engine completely failed while I was driving on the highway. The truck suddenly shut down, forcing me to pull over in a dangerous situation. It was towed to North Bay Cadillac, where they confirmed the engine needed to be fully replaced. They also stated this issue is related to a known engine defect affecting 6.2L engines across GM vehicles. The vehicle has been in the shop for extended periods and is currently undergoing repairs estimated to take over a month. GM provided a loaner vehicle after 12 days, but I remain financially responsible for a defective truck that posed a serious safety risk. No warning lights were present before the failure. I am requesting that this issue be formally documented due to the severity of the safety hazard and the widespread nature of this engine problem.

On April 23rd, while traveling, I began hearing a loud, metal on metal knock. My truck began to lose all pulling power. I had no engine warnings, no check engine lights or any other indicator of engine trouble. I pulled to the side of the road and exited the vehicle. It was then I realized it was my engine making the noise. I have since had it towed to the dealer where it sits while I wait to hear back from the service department a final diagnosis. I was told this was most likely a rod or bearing. On Friday April 25, I was told of the recall. I was told I would probably need a new engine but they haven't been instructed on what the next step would be from GM.

In the midst of driving my vehicle, soon after exiting the expressway. I received a notification across the dashboard stating to press the brake to start engine. It was totally confusing because I was actually driving and doing so at a speed of approximately 45 miles per hour because I just exited the freeway. Then I noticed the car would not accelerate. At that point I realized that my car had shut down on me while in the midst of driving. I had to very cautiously maneuver my way through traffic to the side of the road where I parked and called onstar for help. This was a very scary moment because I felt as if I could have very easily caused an accident and injured or cost the life of myself or an innocent person. The engine shut down was not evident because all the dashboard lights were still functioning as normal. I don't feel safe driving the vehicle and would very much like to replace with something else, but I feel stuck with it. Dealership says that the vehicle depreciation for one year was $10,000.00 and that I will have to roll that 10k into the price of any new vehicle if I wanted to get out of the current lease. That makes the purchase of newer, safer vehicle unaffordable for me, so again I feel stuck driving something that could have very easily cost me my life.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated while stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left turn, the vehicle lost power and the infotainment center failed to operate. The contact stated that the vehicle was on the left side of the roadway waiting for Roadside Assistance for the vehicle to be towed to the dealer. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Engine exploded. No warning just quit running while cruise control set, just had a thump and started to slow down as engine quit running. Caused a problem as road had no shoulder. Had to be towed to dealer for engine replacement.
Vehicle was purchased new in December 2023. In January 2024, with 110 miles on the vehicle the engine blew. Took over a month to get a new engine installed. In March 2025, with 14,500 miles on the vehicle, the engine blew again, This time i was traveling on a busy New York parkway with my [XXX] grandson. Luckily i was able to coast off the parkway without incident. I am now still awaiting a third engine to be installed.

As I was driving down the feeder road of a major highway, the light (press brake to start engine) came on. I was traveling around 55 miles per hour. I pressed the brake and pressed the start button but nothing happened. At this point I was coasting as the engine had died. The radio and electrical system were fully operational. I tried restarting the engine several times while coasting along the busy feeder road. I finally pulled into the right side lane (there was no shoulder) and applied the brakes. Once fully stopped, I was not able to start the engine. I called my GMC dealer for the name of a tow truck. The tow was able to pick up my truck about 45 minutes later. I am still waiting on a new engine from GMC with no time update from my dealer. This incident happened on 03/03/2025.
Experienced catastrophic engine failure while driving down the highway. Was able to coast to a turning lane in an intersection then once I came to a stop my truck proceeded to go into park and was not able to be moved. Engine would no longer start/turn over and vechile remained in park without begin able to go into neutral so had to wait for roll back tow truck to load my truck while sitting in the middle of a busy road with no way to move.

Engine seized.
6.2L engine seized, same bearing issue as everyone else
I purchased the vehicle brand new in October of 2023, since then the vehicle has been to service over 15 times for engine failure, vibration while driving on the highway etc. At times when the vehicle shut down it was without warning.
My vehicle stalled while driving on the highway. It has been reported by the dealership that the engine seized, with under 18,000 miles.
After 17500 miles and 11 months ownership 6.2ltr engine stopped operations while driving, in traffic and locked up on interstate without warning. Towed to Chevrolet Dealership and disassembled, main crankshaft bearings failed.
My vehicle started rough with rattling and knocking one morning. I contacted my dealer and made an appointment. I received an appointment for about a week out and did not operate the vehicle until that day. Upon bringing the vehicle to the GMC maintenance shop, the vehicle’s engine ceased and had to be towed the remainder of the trip.
On the morning of March 12, 2025, I started experiencing a ticking sound from the engine bay under throttle. I suspected lifter failure and decided to proceed to the dealership that afternoon for repairs. During my commute, the engine started squealing and shuddering and I experienced a severe loss of acceleration which made it almost unsafe to drive on the highway. Upon coming to a stop in traffic, the engine died. I was able to get it restarted and proceeded to continue my trek to the dealership. Upon another traffic stop, the engine died again, at which point I made the decision to exit the highway and continue my journey along the service road. Twice more the engine died when coming to a stop and the 4th time it struggled to restart. I finally decided to pull into a parking lot and as I was backing into a parking space, the engine died its final time and would not crank/turn over. To make matters more difficult, the transmission would not even shift out of "PARK" into "NEUTRAL" for it to be laoded onto a tow truck. Each time I tried to shift out of "PARK" I received a message stating "Conditions for shift not met"
While driving on a 55 mp road [XXX] the truck just stopped running. I had just turned from [XXX] onto [XXX] and had not gotten up to speed. I was only traveling at about 25 mph when the truck seized and stopped. No power to control vehicle. No power and no warning prior to no power. Only 18k miles on the truck and it died and wouldn't restart. It sat in the middle of the road and stayed in the middle of the road for an hour waiting on a tow.

Catastrophic Engine Failure
Engine locked up while driving. I was able to get off the highway. Truck would not crank back up. When trying to start it screens would light up then go black. I had truck towed to nearest GM dealership. The GM dealership informed me that the engine was locked up.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving on a main road at 65 MPH, the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power. There was no warning light illuminated.

Engine failed at 10,000 miles while driving down the road. No warnings, engine shut off while driving. I pulled over and contacted OnStar. They got me a tow truck to bring the truck back to the dealer the next day. I was told that I needed a new engine and they don’t know when they’re gonna get one in. It could be months. I had to pay for a Rent-A-Car out of my own pocket. The dealer would not cover the cost.
At 14,000 miles the engine seized. Car stopped on a busy highway almost causing a collision with other vehicles
I am beyond frustrated with my newly purchased 2024 GMC Sierra Elevation 1500 5.3l V8. Back in November I was notified to bring my vehicle back to the dealership for a complete engine replacement. Ever since this time I have had continuous problems with the vehicle. One day after receiving my truck back, I noticed that it was running rough and misfiring. When I opened the hood, I observed a bungy cord still attached to the engine. Several weeks after, the check engine light came on and took a week to get back due to sensor issues with engine. Today, after getting off work, I turned on my truck, but I am unable to shift out of park and I am stuck waiting on a tow truck. There has been nothing but issues with this truck since they replaced the engine. I am not sure if the mechanics at Garlyn Shelton GMC in Temple, Texas, are qualified to replace engines. This is a brand new truck and I should not be having these issues. My fear is that these problems are going to continue because they either did not properly install the new engine or there are still defects.
6.2L V8 engine failure
Since owning my truck new, the vehicle has had numerous issues with loose exhaust and engine components. The truck has had loose catalytic converter bolts, heat shield and exhaust components causing severe vibration in the driveline, dash and floorboard. My son has the same truck 3.0 LZO other than his being a 2025, he has experienced the same issues.
6.2 ecotec GM engine failed, it is available for inspection at the dealership. The engine failed while driving with no shoulder to pull over. According to the dealership the main crankshaft bearings failed causing catastrophic failure. The dealership has confirmed and reported to GM on 1/24/25. There was no warning to the failure. I was driving approximately 40mph and lost complete power with no warning whatsoever.
was driving on the highway at 55mph and the engine just quit running and thankfully no one was near me and I was able to pull over on the side of the road. All the dash lights stayed on but the truck would not restart,code on dash board said "Conditions not correct for shift" Had it towed to the dealer and they put a new battery in it, but it broke down again on the way home same as before. Now they are telling me I need a brand new engine.
Truck with >15000 miles on it suddenly stops on highway (Dec 6, 2024). Engine won't start but all electrical components work, retractable steps, radio, bluetooth etc. When attempted to start, all electric went black and "push to start button again" came on display. Towed to dealer and after 3 days, advisor says it's not the battery but it might be something electrical. After six days I trade this truck in as they "don't" know what is wrong. After I trade they tell me that the truck needs a new engine but don't why. While taking my new 2025 truck in for a computer problem (500 miles) they tell me they found metal shavings in the oil. I find out two weeks later that there might be a problem with 877,710 6.2L engine with the same problem as mine. Sales says he doesn't know what problem is but he says he may be stuck with the truck for 30 days or more so I should trade.
1st time Complete failure on my 2024 engine without warning. As I was traveling on the interstate. All of sudden, I lost all power. Mt truck started slowing down on its own. It was very difficult getting out of the way of on coming traffic. Dealership replaced values. 2 months later. Again on the Interstate engine complete failure again. Now take it to dealership. This time I heard a ticking noise. Right after the ticking noise. Engine stop working. Same situation. Trying to get out of the way of traffic. I was stranded over 3 hours.
On 01/24/2025, I was driving my GMC Sierra in the express toll lane at approximately 75 mph. The toll lane had two lanes and was enclosed by concrete barriers on both sides with no median or shoulder to pull over. Without warning, the engine suddenly shut off. There were no warning lights, no unusual noises—just complete engine failure. The power steering also stopped functioning, making it difficult to control the vehicle. I immediately shifted into neutral and focused on keeping the wheel steady to avoid triggering the wheel lock, which could have caused me to lose control and crash. I was forced to coast to a stop, barely managing to find a narrow sliver of space on the median of an on-ramp to the express lane. However, even then, my vehicle was still partially blocking the right lane of the express toll lane and partially in the on-ramp. There was nowhere safe to go, no way to restart the truck, and I couldn’t exit the vehicle due to high-speed traffic surrounding me on both sides. I sat in my disabled truck, utterly exposed, fearing for my life as cars sped past me at 70+ mph. I kept imagining the worst—that an inattentive driver would slam into me, causing a catastrophic accident. Thankfully, after several harrowing minutes, a police officer arrived to block traffic behind me, and another cruiser blocked the entrance to the express lane. Only then did I feel a shred of relief. This was one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve ever endured, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Afterward, I learned that my 6.2L L87 engine had spun the main bearing and now requires a complete engine replacement. In researching this issue, I discovered that the NHTSA is already investigating similar failures in vehicles equipped with this engine. Alarmingly, I also spoke with my Uber driver on the way home, who told me he experienced the exact same failure in his 2023 Escalade with the 6.2L engine. Thankfully, his failure occurred at a red light rather than at highway speeds
I purchased this vehicle new in August of 2024. Approximately 2 months ago when the temperatures outside temperatures started falling below freezing, I would frequently get a message, "reduced acceleration, drive with care" pop-up on the center screen, and the check engine light would illuminate. This happens almost every time the outside air temperatures are below 28-30 degrees. Occasional the truck engine loses power and acceleration, but not always. This code pops-up regardless of the engine temperatures. It has been to the dealer where I bought it each time, and they state that GMC told them it is normal. They reset the computer, and the check engine light goes out until I run the truck in temperatures below 30 degrees. The dealer has been great with me, but dealer reports GMC will not cover their services under warranty as GMC reports this is normal. This condition happens unannounced and almost all the time in cold temperatures. It has happened at least 12 times. The performance can be a safety issue when this condition comes about, and you're driving in traffic. I opened a case with GMC on Thursday, January 16, 2025. It is case number [XXX]. I spoke with Graham, the customer service representative who reported that this issue will be escalated to the regional CE Manager because of the frequency that this is happening. Graham reported to me that this CE Manager will be in touch within 2 business days which would be Monday, January 20, 2025. I received a call mid-day on Wednesday January 22, 2025 from a woman from General Motors. I was at work at my full-time job and could not speak very long. I asked if she could call me after 4:30 PM when I was done working, and she replied "sure, we can make that happen." She advised me to get my truck to the dealership. My truck has been at the dealership since last week. As I am typing this, I just received a call from a Christian. Please review attached pictures, and call if you need elaboration. [XXX] .

I was driving on the highway and my truck went black and engine stopped no power to truck. It was very scary. I pulled over and it was in Neutral and somehow got it into park. The car never would turn over. The truck is at midway motors with metal shavings in the engines. They say it locked up and needs replaced. GM is very difficult to work with and won’t give us any information. I’m scared of the truck.
I was driving my truck on Friday, [XXX], at approximately 50 m.p.h. The tires suddenly locked up and skidded momentarily and then released. Then a very loud clanging noise started in the engine. I lost power and coasted to the side of the road. Then the engine stalled. The truck was towed to Keeweenaw Chevy/GMC in Houghton, Michigan. I was later contacted by the Service Department and informed that the engine had indeed blown and a new engine would need to be installed. Engines are on LONG backorder. I was lucky I wasn't traveling 65 m.p.h or on snow covered roads, as this incident could have then resulted in a complete loss of control and hitting a logging truck head on.

Driving on hwy at 65 mph truck shut off without warning and display said shift to neutral and push start. Truck wouldn’t shift and nothing worked. Coasted to the shoulder where I sat for 5-6 hours waiting for a properly equipped tow truck. Motor was seized.
The motor seized up, while driving, no warning lights, just died, had towed to the dealership and was told the motor had seized up, it has now been at the dealership for 45 days, I am being told that there is not a new motor available to replace mine
While driving my truck it suddenly lost power. The truck had been operating normally with no prior issues before it shut off without warning. The truck was towed to a local dealer where they later told me the engine had seized up and needed to be replaced. The truck is a 2024 model that I had purchased new two months earlier. It only had 4,533 miles on it. I was driving at highway speeds and had to coast into a gas station parking lot. I was able to coast to safety, but losing power at highway speeds certainly increases the chance of having an accident.
I was waiting in a parking lot to pick up the kids from school. In park, the truck loses power and almost completely shuts down. When it Reva back up there was a horrible hammering noise. I turn the truck off. Then I called the dealership and told them. I cranked it and recorded it for them and then shut it off. Then the tow truck couldn’t tow and it took two hours to get it loaded because of the features locking things down. It has been 29 days before the finally told me it needs a whole new engine. They still will not tell me why though.
Engine started making noises. I had it towed to dealership to get it diagnosed. Dealership called me next morning to get information on what vehicle was doing. I called dealership that same evening and they informed me that the engine locked up on the tech diagnosing the issue, and I was going to need a new engine.
29K and I have metal shavings in the oil/lifter tick failure. T
Since brand new, the engine makes a significantly loud chirping sound at two occasions. First is every time the fuel saving auto start kicks in to start acceleration. The other is any time you come to a stop from above 25-35 MPH. At around 16 MPH, there is a loud chirping as you decelerate. This appears to be a timing malfunction and is affecting fuel economy. The vehicle has 8,800 miles on it, and it is getting worse. It has been looked at 4 times and has not been identified. I know there was a GM bulletin from 2022 about this 6.2L V8 Engine, but they state it is "normal". I have never heard a normal sound of this kind from an engine. And certainly not on a $75K vehicle. Please investigate and make them correct the issue or replace the engines. people work too hard to afford nice vehicles, and should not have to deal with this issue.
My truck was put on an engine oil consumption plan at ~14,000 milee. Then a month later the engine complete seized while i was driving at 60 mph in the middle of southeast Missouri. The dashboard started flashing with a warning saying that I needed to press the start button. The vehicle came to a stop and i was unable to get it to turn over. I currently have a warranty claim with GM amd the vehicleis at Laura GMC in Collinsvill, IL awaiting a replacement engine. I have no confidence in GMs ability to fully resolve the issue. My life has been completely disrupted as a result of their lack of quality controls.
Engine bearing failure, complete loss of power while driving and turning left into oncoming traffic. Bearing failure confirmed by GM Dealer, brass shavings in oil pan.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the message "Engine Power Reduced" and the vehicle was unable to accelerate above 5 MPH. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure or provide a diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.
Exactly what was described in the N192220080 Recall on New Model 2019 Chevy Silverados in cold climates (Like Utah winters) so at 45,280 miles the oil line popped out just like the recall described There were no oil leaks or signs of oil loss in the driveway where the truck is parked. My [XXX] wife (The owner of this vehicle) was only 6 miles from our house on the way to a doctors appt when the “Oil Pressure Low Turn Vehicle Off” light came on. Luckily she wasn't on the freeway so was able to pull into a neighborhood where all of the oil shot out of the engine due to the oil cooler line detaching. Since the N192220080 excluded other trucks made in the same factory as the once recalled in Alaska & Canada, we received no warning of a potential issue like this existing for this model of Silverado. It is also concerning that a known faulty part in all New Model 2019 Silverado 1500s was only recalled in Alaska & Canada. But if we had purchased this truck and registered the vehicle in Alaska, it would have at that point qualified for the free recall replacement instead of the $1,600 bill we were blindsided with (Plus, if she was on the freeway and couldn't immediately pull over, we would have had a seized engine so the truck would have been nearly totaled) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was stopped at a light while I was in drive. While I was waiting for the light to change the truck shut off suddenly with no warning. The dash message said to restart truck. I had to put it back in park then hit the push button to restart truck. It started right away. The truck had enough fuel and no reason to shut off on its own. The truck has less than 1,200 miles when this occurred. The truck had a shudder when it downshifted prior to this happening and then shut off about a minute later. Some shuddering seems to be the way the truck downshifts. This is dangerous if you have to just slow down and takeoff again and then it shuts off on it’s own. This can cause a crash.
