On October 27, 2026, my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ with the 6.2L engine suddenly lost propulsion on Interstate 80 near Atlantic, Iowa. The mileage was approximately 62,000, although I am uncertain of the exact mileage. I had driven approximately three hours after leaving my hotel that morning before stopping at a gas station. When I restarted the truck, the engine barely turned over before starting. No engine warning lights came on at that time. I continued onto I-80. Approximately five minutes later, the truck began losing speed with cruise control engaged. I disengaged cruise control and pressed the accelerator. The engine revved, but the truck did not accelerate. The check engine light came on just before the truck shifted itself into neutral. I coasted to an off-ramp, and the truck would not restart. It required towing. The sudden loss of propulsion at interstate speed put me and surrounding traffic at risk because I could no longer accelerate or maintain speed. The dealership inspected the truck and told me it failed what they described as a “propulsion test” and was included in a recall. The specific internal component that failed is unknown to me. Whether the failed components have been retained and are available for inspection is also unknown to me.

What owners say
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH with his family inside the vehicle, the wheels locked up and the vehicle jerked three times within 20 seconds, causing the tires to screech. The check engine warning light was illuminated after the failure. The contact activated the hazard lights and pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was restarted but was undrivable. The vehicle was pushed onto the street of the residence and parked. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; a diagnostic test was performed and DTC: P0747 was retrieved; indicating transmission failure. The dealer determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the TCM was updated previously due to transmission shifting failures; however, the failure worsened. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH with cruise control engaged, the vehicle suddenly lost speed, the check engine warning light started flashing, and the engine started sputtering. The electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control warning lights were also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. Diagnostic trouble codes P0203 and P0303 were retrieved, indicating a fuel injector 3 circuit malfunction and cylinder 3 misfire. The fuel injector wiring circuit was corroded, and the fuel injector on the left bank was replaced. The contact contacted the manufacturer by telephone and was informed that the bumper-to-bumper warranty had expired and that the failure was not covered under the powertrain warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 51,042.
As I was driving, the vehicle threw a CEL and I saw the RPM’s fall. This happened multiple times, twice at an all-way stop sign, and once at a major intersection resulting in me being stranded with my vehicle in the middle of an active roadway, unable to move my vehicle. I brought my vehicle into the Chevrolet Dealership and the service department is claiming that I need to pay $1500 for a fuel pump with a CEL code that is not able to be duplicated. There is a TSB 24-NA-139 regarding my issue saying that it is not the fuel pump, it is the fuel pump control module. My issue is that the dealership wants me to pay $1500 for a fuel pump solely off of their “guess” of what the issue is. The bulletin calls out the P102B as one possible code related to the issues. I refused this service since this is just the dealership’s guess of what the issue may be and I believe the fuel pump control module should be replaced for free under the 8yr/80k federal emissions warranty. I requested that the dealership check the module as a part of the $245 diagnosis I paid for and they are insisting that the issue is with the fuel pump.
I was at a stop light. Let my foot off brake vehicle revved up and I launched into a vehicle in front of me. Check engine light was on before. Blinking, esc fault , forward collision detection was not working, traction control service light. Throttle body control issue detected code P0205. Valve timing issues detected codes p0353 p0355 p129f p0300. The wire above my shock bolt is completely cut into. GM did an investigation and said no issues were detected at all. There is a TSB for the wire chafing
Was just driving down the highway and without any warning at all my truck would not go while waiting at a stop light, it turns on and will go in drive but now it has an engine light on and has codes WITHOUT any warning while driving!!! How safe is that?! Especially when my children are in the vehicle. Not to mention its only FOUR years old
The vehicle intermittently experiences transmission or drivetrain slipping, shuddering or juddering, and shaking while being driven. The symptoms are inconsistent and there is currently no check-engine warning light. The problem has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a dealer. I am concerned that the condition could worsen and cause loss of propulsion, unexpected shifting, or loss of control. The vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine and is within the model family described in the federal safety agency recall 24V‑797 involving transmission control valve wear. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request.
Coolant Control Valve is malfunctioning. Check engine code P1098, Running Fans Loud cooling fans running at full blast shortly after turning off the engine. General Motors issued special coverages N252508341 extending coolant control valve warranty protection up to 15 years or 150,000 miles for select 3.0L Duramax vehicles. Unfortunately, GM says my VIN isn’t covered by the extended warranty even though it has all the same issues as those that are covered down to the check engine code notes on their bulletin N252508341.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled while attempting to accelerate, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the rear wheels locked up due to the failure. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road but was unable to exceed 3 MPH. The vehicle was restarted. There was a burning oil odor, but the contact was unsure if the odor was coming from the vehicle or another vehicle nearby. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and DTC: P0700 (Transmission Control System) and P2714 (Pressure Control Solenoid Performance/Stuck Off) were retrieved. The contact was informed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by phone, and the contact was referred to the federal safety agency Hotline for further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 81,700.
I have a 2022 silverado ltd with the 6.2. I purchased the truck about a month and a half ago the previous owner had the 40 weight oil recall completed prior to my purchase. I had the oil changed when it said 45 percent life remaining far before it was due a certified chevy dealer completed the oil change with the 40 weight correct oil. Well about 8 days ago I went out and started the truck and heard a clunk sound like a failing starter would make. So later that day I notice a ticking noise as well as a chirping noise. Coming from engine bay. I made note of it. Ever since the noise began I have kept close eyes on it the ticking and chirping rise and fall when I give it gas. Yesterday when I started it the clunk noise happened but this time I felt a shudder or stutter I looked at the rpms and they didn't move at all with the shudder. I have an appointment Monday morning to take it to the dealer I looked into the recall for the thicker oil. And learned that this motor is pretty much junk and multiple issues I haven't driven it since yesterday because the issues I'm having correspond with complete engine failure at any point and I do not want to be on the highway and it happen that would put me and other motorist at risk injury. There has been no warning lights no engine light just the initial clunk the first time and since that it's just been getting worse
I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the check engine light came on, the check the parking brake light came on, and the service electronic stability control system light came on. The engine then started making a knocking sound. These trucks have a known lifter issue. I had a 2021 that had the same problem. It was still under warranty so I was able to get out from under it. This one isn’t and they want $9,000 to replace the engine. There is a recall on the 6.2 liter but not for the 5.3 liter for some reason. These engines have an issue
Engine sudden loss of propulsion while driving on interstate w/out warning. Pulled to side and check engine light and hot oil warning came on prior to engine dying. Had to call tow and dealer says engine needs to be replaced but they won’t ship vehicle back after repair and it’s 4 hours from my house, that I need to pick it up
