I was on my way home from work and everything was driving fine and then I got 1/4 mile from my house and the motor started making a very loud grinding sound. I could barely accelerate. The issue happened out of nowhere. No issues prior to this happening. I was driving about 40 miles an hour when the issue started and I limped it to my driveway, luckily I was not very far away. I have a 3 month old baby and this was my reliable family vehicle. Who’s to say what could have happened if I was driving at a higher speed with my child in the car. When it happened it started shaking really bad. I checked everything that I could. It sounded like my motor was starving for oil. I decided to go ahead and change my oil to see if that could have been the issue. I had just changed the oil approximately 2000 miles before this. I changed the oil and filter. Went to start it up and still same very loud grinding sound, shut it back off and have not started it since cause I’m afraid to damage it further. I checked the oil that I drained out of it and looks like small metal flakes in the oil. No warning prior to this happening. Just out of no where it sounds and felt like my motor was going to blow.

Grinding or squealing brakes by model year
What owners say
The truck had been parked for about 4 hours, after a 250 mile trip. I cranked it and started driving to return home. I heard an intermittent squealing noise while driving. I had driven only about 2 miles when the engine suddenly shut down in heavy traffic on a four lane divided highway. I managed to get the truck into the median and stop. I was left stranded in the middle of the highway. It turns out the the engine bearing went bad and ruined the engine. I will now have to replace the engine at a cost of about $15,000.00. This is a safety concern when the engine suddenly failed and stalled while driving on a four lane divided highway, in heavy traffic.
cylinder #1 had misfire and this was because the liftt malfunctioned which inturn caused it to grind on camshaft
2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road
Transmission shifts hard first 3 gears.rear end clunks brakes squeak when going in reverse when putting in reverse gear goes in hard seems to be doing more often
At around 1500 miles my truck had a rotational noise which LED into clicking the grinding and squealing, they changed out the front axle and all new brakes and rotors along with a braking software update. They assured me I should not have any more issues. Now at 4,300 miles I'm starting to have rotational noise again after driving about 1 hour, of course they cant duplicate noise. The truck has had 5 recalls and also a 4wd pump defective all with 4,300 miles. I am fearful that the brakes will fail
