2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Oct 6, 2026 · Engine · TN

The 2026 Chevy 1500 Silverado 6.2L engine had a slight knocking sound from the date I purchased it brand new in march 2026. I was driving home on a evening in July 2026 and the truck began to squeak, knock very loudly and shake violently. The truck then locked up and completely shut off while I was driving 45 mph down the highway. The vehicle had approximately 3,000 miles on it when the incident occurred. The truck’s violent shaking and sudden loss of power while traveling 45 mph created an immediate risk in which I did not have control of the vehicle and could have caused me to be unable to safely maneuver out of traffic. Thank God there was light traffic at the time and also a wide empty parking lot straight ahead of me when the truck shut down. The incident also placed other drivers in danger of colliding with my disabled vehicle or taking sudden evasive action that could cause an accident. I had it towed directly to the dealership service department and according to their report, "found catastrophic internal engine failure."

While driving at about 20mph we hear a grinding noise and the truck throws itself into nuetral and then shut off. The truck seems to be on like when started with the key fob, on but not fully started. A warning message comes on the dash stating "conditions not safe to drive". The truck would not go back into gear, even after pressing the start button and truck regaining power. Pressed on the brakes to stop, put in park and then back into drive. Message warning went off and truck drove as normal again. This has happened twice since purchasing the vehicle in May 2026.

I purchased a 2026 Chevrolet 1500 Duramax Deisel truck. At 9500 miles the truck started making popping and loud grinding noises and would shake while driving it. I barely made it to the dealership on August 6th 2026 I took it to Group 1 Chevrolet where I bought it in Houston,Texas and on August 8th was told that they need to replace the engine and do not have an estimated time for repair.

Normal driving then heard a knocking and squealing. Was told it was a spun main bearing on the crack shaft.

I started the vehicle in the morning, and noticed a knocking noise from deep inside the engine. Took the vehicle to the dealership, the knocking be turned into squealing and grinding and banging, check engine light came on, and vehicle died in front of the service department door. I’m an experienced auto technician and know that that was a connecting rod bearing knock. And now need a new engine on a vehicle with 919 miles on it.

Engine failed on 5/8/26 with 1794 miles. Sounds like possible main bearing failure, engine had 18psi oil pressure. Signs were, knocking, banging, screeching/squealing internally from engine. No codes or check engine lights appeared. Was driving approximately 35-40 MPH on mountainous paved road. Managed to limp truck to safe pull off area and turned off engine. Had truck towed to dealership. If truck would have died on road I was driving on, it could have been bad. Road is very narrow with numerous blind spots.

At about 800 miles i noticed ticking from the engine and random and intermittent jerking. Some of which were very severe that felt like someone rear ended me. I took into the dealer with my complaints. They kept my vehicle for 2.5 days and didnt give me a loaner. The my were unable to reproduce the jerking and said the ticking was normal. They showed me the ticking and said its normal and will go away after it warms up. They did a vehicle update and said it will help. They said theres nothing else they will do. I knew something was still wrong but felt like they wouldnt do anything and I couldn't give up my vehicle for days at a time. I continued to drive it and was planning on taking it to a other dealer for a check up. But at about 3500 miles. One day the truck began squealing and grinding. I attempted to drive the truck home and the truck just died on the freeway. Luckily I knew something was wrong so I stayed in the slow lane so it was easy for me to get off. Thats the first time the check engine light came on but it was too late. I had it towed to the dealer and they checked and it was catastrophic engine failure.
