THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY 2019 SILVERADO IS THE REAR VISION OR BACK UP CAMERA. THE CAMERA IS BASICALLY USELESS AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE RESOLUTION BECOMES EXTREMELY DISTORTED AND BLURRY. THE CAMERA WILL ALSO GO COMPLETELY BLACK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SUCH AS BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY OFF A BUSY PUBLIC ROAD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING CHILDREN ARE OFTEN RIDING BIKES OR PLAYING ON THE SIDEWALK I'M BACKING ACROSS THE ENTER MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CLAIM THE CAMERA IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD MAKING THIS SITUATION EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE BECAUSE MY FATHER HAS THE EXACT SAME TRUCK AND WE BOTH HAVE THE PROBLEM ALSO MANY PEOPLE ON FORUMS HAVE THE PROBLEM. I REALLY HOPE GM COMES OUT WITH A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED.

GM SAYS THIS IS HOW IT IS, I AND MANY OTHER OWNERS AGREE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE GM REALLY NEEDS TO ADD A BRIGHTNESS CONTROL FOR THE CAMERA THEY USED TO HAVE IT BUT IT'S BEEN REMOVED THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT SOME AGENCY HAS DETERMINED OR CAME UP WITH RULES THAT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO TURN OFF BACKUP CAMERA OR CHANGE BRIGHTNESS IF THIS IS THE CASE THEY HAVE CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD IT'S UNREASONABLE TO NOT HAVE A CHOICE.

ON JUNE 16TH 2019 I DROVE DOWN TO ATLANTA, GA FOR A BASEBALL GAME. MIDWAY I STOPPED FOR GAS. WHEN I TURNED BACK ON THE TRUCK, I REALIZED THAT I HAD LOST A AND IF I GET AN AMOUNT OF MY BRAKING ABILITY. HOWEVER, I HAD NO LIGHTS ON MU DASH TO INDICATE A FAILURE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I READ ON A GM FORUM THAT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 MINS, TURNED BACK ON THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. THEY, HOWEVER, HAD LIGHTS INDICATING A BRAKE FAILURE. I FOLLOWED THE FORUMS SUGGESTIONS AND AFTER 30 MINS WITH MY TRUCK OFF, I DROVE THE TRUCK AGAIN AND HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT AS I EXPECTED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WANTED TO START A PAPER TRAIL THOUGH INCASE THE ISSUE REOCCURRED. ON JULY 10TH THE SAME BRAKING ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS NEAR MY DEALERSHIP IN GREENVILLE, SC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM A LOSS OF OVER 50% OF BRAKING BUT NO LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE CODE (PAST OR PRESENT) INDICATING A BRAKE FAILURE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND BELIEVE THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE BRAKING ISSUES AND LACK OF CONFIRMATION OF SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE TRUCK DASH. IT IS A DEATH TRAP. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM A FIX EITHER DUE TO NOT HAVING A SERVICE ERROR CODE TO FIX AND TURN OFF. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN ISSUES OCCURRED BOTH TIMES. ON BOTH OCCASION AS, SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENTS ALMOST HAPPENED DUE TO LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY.

EA25007 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure

Opened Oct 23, 2025 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 1,157 reports of engine bearing failure failures in the L87 6.2L engine produced by General Motors (GM). Of the 1,157 reports received, 173 are outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. These engines are installed in Model Years (MY) 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and 2021-2024MY Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV vehicles. The subject engine failures were investigated as part of a Preliminary Evaluation (PE25001).  GM determined that these engine failures were due to multiple supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the supplier manufacturing and quality issues produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. Based on the issuance of recall 25V-274, NHTSA has closed PE25001. ODI continues to receive a significant number of reports of engine failure in vehicles outside the scope of 25V-274.  This presents a potential safety risk that warrants further investigation.  ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis (EA) to further evaluate the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues of vehicles built outside the recall scope.

PE25001 · Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure

Opened Jan 16, 2025 · Closed Oct 23, 2025

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical

On January 16, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE25001 after receiving complaints and field reports concerning engine failures in MY2019-2024 GM’s full-size truck and SUV T1XX platform equipped with the L87 6.2L V8 engine. These complainants alleged engine bearing failures resulting in knocking and growling noises from the engine’s bottom end and in some cases more severe consequences such as broken connecting rods leading to engine damage, or engine failure. If the engine fails during vehicle operation, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. On April 24, 2025, GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the concern with L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024.  GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM’s  recall remedy will be either an oil change to an oil with a different viscosity or engine replacement depending on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. To date, ODI has received 1,157 allegations of engine bearing failure. GM submitted 55,464 reports in total, with 29,752 unique VINs. ODI continues to receive allegations of L87 engine failures which fall outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. Based on GM’s recall, ODI will close this PE. NHTSA will continue to investigate complaints of engine failure outside the scope of recall 25V-274 as part ofEngineering Analysis (EA25007).
