Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
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.
My vehicle has had numerous issues with electronics and cameras which have affected the ABS system. In addition to that there is a service bulletin for known issues of of the Rocker Arms failing which causes damage to the engine. While driving the vehicle no warning lights come on and the vehicle chugs and stops during driving which could cause a serious accident and injury. The rocker arms in this truck failed and cause further damage which has now caused the engine needing to be replaced at just 75,000 miles. GM service bulletins: PIP5847 & 25-NA-037
My rear wheels locked up at 40mph and I had it towed to bacon Chevrolet in Jacksonville, Texas this truck completely scared me and my family the night before I was going 70 thank God the rear wheels did not lock up at that point. I’ve never experienced this problem but it seems very dangerous.
My truck started making a ticking noise. When I took it in for an oil change, the mechanic said it was a common problem with Silverado 2.7 engines
These 6.2 Liters are failing and there is no fix. GM claims my motor passed a test but not knowing if and when it will break down leaving me stranded or worse in a horrible accident with engine failure is not safe. My lane assist is now out as well, the version is old and GM wants to charge to update it (only 60k miles on the truck). Top it off with this new recall my oil changes are over $150 for supercar oil. The deprecation of this truck with know recalls is another issue. I can't get rid of this because it isn't worth much anymore. DO NOT BUY GM OR CHEVY!! So sad to see them fail their customer like this.
On September 24, 2026, my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (5.3L V8, 10-speed automatic) suddenly stopped moving and the steering locked. The truck had to be towed to the Chevrolet dealer. This is a repeat failure. On June 17, 2026, at about 43,700 miles, the truck showed the warning "Service Transmission Now / Unable to Shift Soon" with code P07B4. The dealer ordered part 86277653 (automatic transmission shift control assembly), which was on backorder for weeks. Between June and September the truck was in the shop several times for the same problem and was returned to me as fixed. On September 24 the same failure came back, this time with loss of drive and locked steering. A truck that can suddenly lose drive and steering is a crash risk. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle has been at the dealer since September 24 and it is still not repaired. The complaint has been reported to GM Customer Assistance.

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
