Power train, Apr 6, 2026
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the rear wheels locked upon depressing the brake pedal without warning. The contact temporarily lost control of the vehicle, and the rear wheels skidded, almost causing a crash. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to the residence, where it remained. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was informed that there were no recalls related to the VIN. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V148000 (POWER TRAIN); however, upon contacting the dealer, the dealer claimed that there was no knowledge of the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

Vehicle power steering went out while driving as I almost crashed through the corner. My anti-skid light came on on the dash along with a message saying service power steering drive with care and a message saying service ESC. Upon further investigation, it appears the ground strap connecting the frame to the passenger side wheel well is corroded camming electrical problems with the power steering, etc. Apparently my Vin number does not qualify for replacement on my 2019 truck even though it’s still in their warranty Chevy should replace these straps for free. The dealer wants to charge $300 for a diagnostic fee in around $300 for another repair. However mine is under warranty, but I feel like I should not have to pay a diagnostic fee. It should be covered as a recall. I have attached pictures of the codes from the dealership computer.

Power train, Mar 23, 2026
Driving my truck and I suddenly got a warning on my dashboard that said, "Low Oil Pressure. Turn Engine Off." I pulled over immediately, shut off the the engine and called for a tow. Dealership called to let me know the engine was seized and would cost $22,270 to repair. Looking online I found that Chevy had released a Customer Service Program (CSP) detailing that the oil coolant lines in 2019 Silverado 1500 could have a weak / defective crimp holding the oil coolant line onto the connector and could separate causing catastrophic oil loss. It is also stated in the CSP that cold weather makes the issue more likely. I have tried getting GM to cover the repair since they knew about the issue and never contacted me to make the fix. GM is maintaining that they did nothing wrong and that my VIN is not listed as one of the vehicles in need of repair. This, despite the acknowledgement of the CSP and that the CSP "is for the dealerships." Which I pointed out the correction listed was for me to have the oil lines replaced and that never happened. I also pointed out as they said this wouldn't have been listined on my VIN because it was for dealerships and yet no one: not GM, not the dealership I bought the truck from, nor the dealership that regularly serviced my truck mentioned the oil line issue to me.

I’d like to report a serious, ongoing safety concern with my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado (5.3 V8 53,028 mi) since Dec 2025. Over the last 4 months, I have experienced at least 20 engine failures/loss of power, with no engine light illuminated after restarting truck. These failures result in a complete loss of power, including steering and braking, posing a significant risk of a crash. Chevy said it would be hard to diagnose with no engine warning light on. Feb 24th, engine failure, warning light stayed on and towed truck to Chevy. Truck on standby, repaired Mar 10th, replacing 2 oxygen sensors per Diagnostics. Picked it up on March 11th, but engine shutdown again the same day and 4 additional failures while driving in my neighborhood, making the truck undrivable. I reached out to Chevy service supervisor, Juliana, but have received no response for the last 10 days. I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect as it poses a severe safety risk. Thank you for your urgent attention.

Other or unspecified, Engine, Mar 10, 2026
I am reporting a catastrophic internal engine failure in a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at 87,600 miles. Prior to this event, there were NO warning lights or symptoms. While traveling alone during the holiday on a remote, one-lane road with no shoulder, the vehicle suddenly suffered a loss of power. Every warning light on the dashboard illuminated at once, followed by shaking, misfiring, and loud knocking from the engine. Because I was on a one-lane road with no place to pull over, this created an immediate safety hazard for me and oncoming traffic. I had the car towed to the dealership ( where I bought the truck) confirmed the failure was a collapsed lifter and scored camshaft (which i found out to be a known design flaw in the 5.3L DFM engine). The dealer said it was not under warranty. I felt held over a barrel by the dealership; they initially provided an inflated quote and told me it would cost approximately $1,200, not including tax and shop fees, just to put the engine back together if I wanted to tow it elsewhere for a second opinion. I was forced to pay over $8,395 under protest just to regain use of my primary vehicle after 42 days of downtime. Upon completion, the dealer provided a "Lifetime Warranty" on the replacement parts. This is a tacit admission that these components were never intended to fail during the life of the vehicle. GM refuses to include this vehicle in its coverage list, treating a dangerous engine stall as a simple "out of warranty" repair. This is a systemic safety defect that requires a mandatory recall expansion before it results in a terrible accident. My understanding is that a Class Action lawsuit, Harrison vs. General Motors, for this same thing, but they say my car is not in it, i should have been put on notice for this so I could protect myself.
Engine, Mar 7, 2026
My husband, [XXX] son, my [XXX] mother-in-law, and I were traveling on the expressway at approximately 70 miles per hour in our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L engine when the dashboard suddenly lit up with warning lights and alarms. My husband looked in the rear-view mirror and saw a large amount of smoke coming from the truck. We immediately had to cross two lanes of heavy traffic to reach the shoulder and get off the roadway safely. When I opened my door, I could see that engine oil was pouring from the truck and running down the expressway. We were stranded on the side of the expressway for over an hour before my brother was able to come pick us up. The tow truck company advised that it would take several hours before they could arrive. During that time, vehicles continued traveling at highway speeds and did not slow down despite our disabled truck being on the shoulder. The truck was shaking from the wind and force of cars and trucks passing by at high speeds. This created an extremely dangerous situation, particularly with our [XXX] child and my elderly mother-in-law in the vehicle. The truck was eventually towed to a local repair shop, where the mechanic determined that the engine oil cooler line had broken at the crimp, causing a significant oil leak. The repair required replacement of the oil cooler lines and related components at a cost of $2,109.92. Had we continued driving even briefly, the engine likely could have been severely damaged or destroyed due to the rapid loss of oil. This appears to match the known issue described in GM Customer Satisfaction Program N212326940 regarding oil cooler lines detaching from the crimp on 2019 Chevrolet Silverado trucks. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Engine, Mar 5, 2026
Incident Description: While driving at highway speeds, the oil cooling lines on my vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure, resulting in a total loss of engine oil within seconds. To ensure my safety and avoid being stranded in high-speed traffic, I proceeded less than a quarter-mile to reach the nearest exit. During the cooling process after the vehicle was stopped, the engine seized due to extreme thermal damage caused by the sudden lack of lubrication. Safety Risk: The sudden and total loss of engine oil at highway speeds presents a significant safety hazard. It creates an immediate risk of sudden engine stall or seizure while in traffic, which could lead to a high-speed collision. Furthermore, a high-volume oil leak onto hot engine components represents a severe fire risk. Technical Evidence & Manufacturer Response: There are existing Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) for this specific vehicle model that explicitly identify these oil cooling lines as a known failure point. These TSBs state that failure to replace these lines can lead to the engine becoming non-functional. Despite this documented manufacturing defect and the clear safety implications of a sudden engine failure on a highway, Chevrolet has refused to provide a remedy, insisting that the engine replacement be paid for out-of-pocket. Requested Action: I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this known defect for a potential safety recall, as the failure of these lines constitutes a predictable and dangerous loss of vehicle power and potential fire hazard.

The contact stated while driving approximately 30-35 MPH and exiting the interstate with a speed limit of 55 MPH, the instrument panel, check engine, stability control, and several other warning lights illuminated. The vehicle felt like there was a misfire coming from the engine. The contact pulled into the nearest parking lot and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, while not exceeding 25 - 30 MPH. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the camshaft was damaged, and the valve lifters had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer opened a case regarding the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

Vehicle info: 2019 Silverado 1500 6.2L engine with 66,xxx miles. On 3/1/26 While towing my small snowmobile trailer I was driving on I-90 with cruise control set at 65 mph. Very suddenly and shockingly I heard an extremely loud knocking noise from the engine. I then witnessed several driver info messages stating things like "low oil pressure" "engine power reduced" among others and a check engine light. Amongst freeway traffic and now under no engine power and coasting I made an emergency lane change out of the passing lane and into the right lane and subsequently on to the shoulder of the interstate. Oil pressure was also noted to be very low during these events. I called a friend to pick me up off the side of the freeway and also had a local towing company get my truck and trailer off the side of the highway asap. This was a dangerous scenario and could've ended much worse. The vehicle is now at my residence and I am not sure what steps to take right now. As I am very aware of the current recall on similar models with the same engine. I have followed the issues and complaints of these trucks and suvs with the L87 6.2L engine closely. I was under the impression that my vehicle was not included in the recall and I have always been very diligent about vehicle maintenance. I've been watching my truck closely for abnormal noises, power or oil pressure loss or any other strange symptoms I have not noticed any warning signs. I even recently switched to the new dexos approved 0w-40 engine oil that GM is recommending and/or mandating. This was very sudden and scary scenario. I do have video of the engine noises if theyre.

My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado has experienced repeated engine issues, including a confirmed timing chain failure. The vehicle has been taken in for repairs approximately 6–7 times for the same or related engine problems. Most concerning, the vehicle has stalled while driving, creating a serious safety hazard. Loss of power while in motion puts me and others at risk of an accident. Despite multiple repair attempts, the issue has not been permanently resolved. The timing chain failure is a major engine defect and not expected for a vehicle of this age and mileage. I am filing this complaint due to the safety risk associated with engine stalling and failure.

Forward collision avoidance, Feb 15, 2026
I was proceeding down the interstate when several of my dash lights came on to include the check engine light and the ABS light. My truck defaulted to a restriction of 62 mph and I lost majority of my brakes. I had to apply brute force to be able to get of the exit and to the Dealership. The dealership reprogrammed my truck’s system and charged me 300 dollars. I believe this is the same issue that has plagued many other Chevy trucks in the same model year.
