“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.…”
“I am filing this complaint regarding a battery-drain problem with my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The original battery failed and was replaced. I am concerned that the battery is not the underlying problem and that an intermittent electrical drain may be discharging the battery while the truck is parked. GM has issued technical information concerning battery-drain problems on 2022 Silverado 1500 trucks, including bulletin PIT5750B, which addresses intermittent parasitic battery draw, dead batteries and slow cranking. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether there is a recurring electrical or software-related defect affecting 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles that can cause the battery to discharge while parked. Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 VIN: [XXX] Mileage: 31000 Battery replaced:11/17/23] Number of battery failures: 3 Time vehicle was parked before battery discharged: 5 DAYS, 3 DAYS Dealer/service department: [XXX] Automall, Modern Chevrolet I believe this issue should be investigated to determine whether there is a broader defect rather than simply treating the battery as the cause of the problem.”
