“My rear wheels locked up at 40mph and I had it towed to bacon Chevrolet in Jacksonville, Texas this truck completely scared me and my family the night before I was going 70 thank God the rear wheels did not lock up at that point. I’ve never experienced this problem but it seems very dangerous.”
“These 6.2 Liters are failing and there is no fix. GM claims my motor passed a test but not knowing if and when it will break down leaving me stranded or worse in a horrible accident with engine failure is not safe. My lane assist is now out as well, the version is old and GM wants to charge to update it (only 60k miles on the truck). Top it off with this new recall my oil changes are over $150 for supercar oil. The deprecation of this truck with know recalls is another issue. I can't get rid of this because it isn't worth much anymore. DO NOT BUY GM OR CHEVY!! So sad to see them fail their customer like this.”
“On September 24, 2026, my 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (5.3L V8, 10-speed automatic) suddenly stopped moving and the steering locked. The truck had to be towed to the Chevrolet dealer. This is a repeat failure. On June 17, 2026, at about 43,700 miles, the truck showed the warning "Service Transmission Now / Unable to Shift Soon" with code P07B4. The dealer ordered part 86277653 (automatic transmission shift control assembly), which was on backorder for weeks. Between June and September the truck was in the shop several times for the same problem and was returned to me as fixed. On September 24 the same failure came back, this time with loss of drive and locked steering. A truck that can suddenly lose drive and steering is a crash risk. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle has been at the dealer since September 24 and it is still not repaired. The complaint has been reported to GM Customer Assistance.”
“Was just driving down the highway and without any warning at all my truck would not go while waiting at a stop light, it turns on and will go in drive but now it has an engine light on and has codes WITHOUT any warning while driving!!! How safe is that?! Especially when my children are in the vehicle. Not to mention its only FOUR years old”
“The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that when shifting from park(P) to drive(D), there was approximately 5 minutes before shifting the transmission shifted hard between 1st and 2nd gears. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 13,783.”
“The vehicle is experiencing gear shifting failure. Specifically, when the transmission temperature reaches over 160 degrees, it shifts into limp mode and loses power, which creates a significant collision risk. Additionally, the forward collision warning system is not working at all.”
