2024 GMC Sierra 1500: engine stalls while driving

Filed Oct 25, 2026 · Engine · CO

My vehicle has the loss of propulsion recall 25V‑274. It was in for service on 5-12-2025 with NO REMEDY YET on my paperwork. 8-6-2025 the truck was in for service and passed the test that would have required immediate engine replacement. As per the recall, I was given different oil as a remedy for a faulty engine. Despite passing the test, I still lost propulsion on 6-11-2026. I was traveling on the highway at night, crested a hill and noticed while coasting that the engine was not running and the dash said "hit the start button again." When I did this everything turned off including the lights. I was still traveling at 65 MPH without lights. Luckily I didn't panic and the lights came back on when I hit the start button again. Once the vehicle coasted to a stop; and I put it in park the motor restarted. This incident was reported on 6-14-2026, complaint number 1174-4867. When I submitted this complaint, I started that GM needs to make a change so hitting the start button when the engine has stalled doesn't turn the lights off. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, they had it for two months, put around 1000 miles on it and returned it to me with no repairs made because they couldn't reproduce the problem. They returned it to me on 7-29-2026. They did not to the engine. I radio repair was unsuccessful so it went back to the dealer that same day. 8-10-2026 Vehicle return without repairs to the radio or engine. 10-10-2026 On my second drive on the highway since having the vehicle returned to me, the engine shut off again on the highway at 65 MPH. After coasting to a stop, the engine would not restart and it was towed to the dealership. They have the vehicle and are repairing the engine. My concern is that this vehicle passed a loss of propulsion recall, still had loss of propulsion twice. I have concerns for my safety in this vehicle. I do not have confidence the current repairs will not result in another loss of propulsion.

On [XXX] I was driving my 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Vin # [XXX] on a major highway in Houston when without warning the engine shut off, stranding me in the middle of busy traffic. I was able to get to the shoulder and restart the truck, but no warning lights came on so I continued on my drive when approximately 20 minutes later, while still on a busy freeway, the engine shut off again. I was able to restart the truck and within another 15 minutes the check engine light appeared, the engine lost power and started making a loud rattling noise. Roughly 2 minutes later, as I was attempting to pull over to the shoulder and safety, the truck shut off and would not restart. This was the 3rd time for it to stall out on a busy freeway which was very dangerous for myself and the other drivers. I contacted the local Chevy dealership and they sent a tow truck out to tow the truck back to their dealership service center. I was later contacted by a service advisor that said they found a code P0016. He informed me that the engine would need to be replaced. As of today 8/11/26, they are still waiting on backordered parts to arrive before they can even start on any repairs.

My truck completely stalled and had to be restarted. I took it to the dealership to have it resolved. They wouldn’t look at the truck without a recall notice. Now there is a recall notice for my exact issue. I took it to be repaired by them but now they are saying that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and are refusing to do anything about it stalling. They specifically said that I will have to stall and potentially get in a car wreck before they will repair the damaged engine. I have been very disappointed in this entire situation and would like to avoid driving a car that may end up crashing due to a preventable problem.
