Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“I own a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with the 6.2L V8 (L87), covered by Recall 25V-274. I believe the remedy does not establish that my vehicle is safe, and GM has declined to confirm that it is. My truck was inspected under the recall in August 2025. It passed, and the oil was changed to 0W-40. I later returned to the dealer to complete the recall work, where the new oil fill cap was installed. Before the remedy, the truck had been driven roughly 30,000 miles on the original oil, including repeated towing during a move. NHTSA’s EA26005 states it has received complaints of engine failure after both the oil change remedy and engine replacement, and that GM reported thousands of complaints of post-remedy engine failure. My vehicle received the same remedy. I asked GM in writing to confirm my engine does not have the defect and will not fail or lose propulsion because of it, or to explain whether the inspection can determine the condition of internal engine components. GM did not answer those questions. Its reply stated only that the remedy was performed “to help affected vehicles avoid the defect condition,” that the new oil “offers increased…”
“My vehicle has had numerous issues with electronics and cameras which have affected the ABS system. In addition to that there is a service bulletin for known issues of of the Rocker Arms failing which causes damage to the engine. While driving the vehicle no warning lights come on and the vehicle chugs and stops during driving which could cause a serious accident and injury. The rocker arms in this truck failed and cause further damage which has now caused the engine needing to be replaced at just 75,000 miles. GM service bulletins: PIP5847 & 25-NA-037”
“While driving at a low speed power steering failed. This happened on two separate occasions once while turning into a parking lot the other while doing a u turn. On both occasions I was almost in a crash. The other vehicle had a slam on brakes to avoid my truck. The message on the dashboard was “service power steering drive with care”. The steering wheel is yanked out of my hands each time it loses power. After the ignition is turned off for five minutes the issue is resolved upon restarting the vehicle.”
