2022 GMC Sierra 1500 transmission problems

Filed Nov 4, 2026 · Transmission · IN

The engine does not run properly. Consumes oil at a rapid pace. I have been to the dealership multiple times and it keep saying it is within normal GMC guidelines. I recently got an oil change and drove 1,400 miles. My truck had little to no oil left.

While the truck was under warranty it would go into limp mode. A dealer said they replaced the valve body but it did not look like anything had been done to it. It didn’t go into limp mode and seemed fine for a couple of months then it went into limp mode again and we took it back to the dealership. The hooked a scanner up and cleared the codes and it worked fine for a couple of more months. (This cycle happened repeatedly until it was out of the warranty.) We finally got our own scanner and cleared the codes like they did at the dealer and it would work fine for a while. Then one day driving at 60-65 mph it locked the rear wheels and we slid off into the ditch. It happened 4 more times before we got it home. (We were driving about 15 mph). We called the dealership and they said they couldn’t do anything since it was out of warranty and it could need a new transmission. It was never right from the time we bought it. The locking brakes could be fatal if it had happened on a busy highway. The first problem we had with it was the front grill flew off. We called the same dealer and they told us we pushed too hard on it closing the hood so they weren’t responsible. My husband fixed it and it never came off again but we saw later that it had been recalled for the same problem.

At three years old with 37,000 miles on it, the engine started ticking loudly consuming oil when I went to look it up. I saw there was a recall. Nobody had notified me about the recall. The technician said it failed their diagnostic test and I would be getting a new engine. Nine weeks later, I get a new engine. One year later at 51,000 miles the transmission failed.

This report shows 4 more new attempts to repair the drop in power, bucking, surging, and lurching that my truck has been doing since May 2026, after the L87 Engine replacement. This issue has caused me to come very close to rear ending a few vehicles, including a Deer Park police officer. It has caused me to run through red lights unexpectedly. The vehicle has had a case open with GM Corp. Customer Care, Case(s) 95259917 (OLD), Case # 108994166 current case (Phone, Instagram). The problems are dangerous because the truck can begin shutting down and feel as if its stopping due to being stuck between gears or maybe torque converter. It happens on the highway at different speeds. It happens in city, stop and go traffic. The lunging forward comes into play with no prior warning. No lights, no messages on the instrument cluster. The dealer had me come in and drive the vehicle to show one of the managers what is happening while I am commuting. It has been confirmed EVERYTIME I was told there is no problem. I am attaching the latest work orders related to the issues after the engine replacement. For the past 6 months this truck is in the shop or stuck in my driveway more than it is driven or used. It is medically necessary that I have transportation available 24/7. I am under the care of several specialists since I was diagnosed and treatment for cancer began. Notice there are TWO work orders NUMBERED "63481" They are attached. ONE the third attempt dated (8-28-26) printed when i picked it up my ADAS was replaced and it has AVISRentCar, I paid for. Second "63481" forth attempt dated (9-15-26) printed when i picked it up after a Transmission relearn AGAIN (duplicate W.O. #) This one has Enterprise Rental I paid for. Now a FIFTH attempt to repair the same issue (9/21-9/29) This time they replaced the transmission valve body. Now, the truck is in the shop AGAIN, a Sixth time for the same problem. No issues found. I tested it again to show them. I am also attaching FTC report

After numerous attempts getting GM to finally look at why my vehicle because after the L87 engine swap, which failed after the Pico test and oil, oil filter, and oil cap change my truck has been dangerous to drive. It falls on its face when taking off or driving. It acts as if something is holding the truck back. It takes more throttle to get it moving. Then in traffic while moving it randomly lunges forward very quickly as if I have the gas pedal to the floor. I came very close to rear ending a Deer Park police vehicle. They told me to get my own alternate transportation and they would then look at it. I had to go out and get a rental car. I had no choice. I explained due to my HIGH medical bills following a cancer diagnosis, I could not afford a rental and my appointments. They basically told me come see them when i can make my arrangements. So, i rented a car, took the truck in, four days later i was told that the problem was my ADAS camera. I told them it worked fine before yall had it 3 months waiting on an engine. They told me I would have to pay around 1000 dollars to have my truck repaired. Even though it was clearly something they did. I made arrangements to pay them. I picked up my truck. That evening I was happy. Well, the next morning while going to get coffee the problem returned. I took it back to the dealer. I was again told, go get another rental and leave it here. I have done that. Well, that week went by. I had to borrow money to get the rental for another week. So, i could make it to my cardiologist today. I have to get cardiac clearance before i begin surgery Oct. 1st. Between now and then, i have an appt with pain mgmt., A PET scan, and an Echo/Doppler for cardiac clearance. Surgery begins Oct. 1st. This has been making it very difficult to manage appts. with Gastrointerology, Cardiology, Oncology, Infusion services, Pain mgmt., Therapy with a Psychiatrist, My new Esophogealist (for surgery). And follow-ups and blood tests. This is ongoing.
