THE POWER TRAIN DELAYS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR RESULTING IN HESITATION IN FORWARD MOVEMENT OR A VERY HARD, ABRUPT LURCHING FORWARD SHIFT. THIS HAPPEN ON THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY AND THEN INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BOTH TYPES OF SHIFTS CREATE UNSAFE CONDITIONS. IT SEEMS THE ENGINE POWER IS LINKED TO THE THE SHIFTING ISSUE AND EITHER NOT ENOUGH OR TOO MUCH POWER IS APPLIED AT THE SHIFT POINT. IN ONE INSTANCE THE POWER TRAIN WAS CONFUSED AND COULD NOT DECIDE WHETHER TO BE IN 1ST, 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AND SHIFTED UP AND DOWN WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO NAVIGATE CONGESTED CITY TRAFFIC AT SLOW SPEED. GM SERVICE BULLETIN 20-NA-102 AND 16-NA-361 SUGGEST THAT THE POWER TRAIN BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL. WHEN I RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE, THIS WAS THE DIAGNOSIS. DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT IN SOME INSTANCES OTHER ACTIONS ARE TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION, BUT IT IS NEVER ELIMINATED. NOW CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM N192272400 HAS BEEN ISSUED DUE TO A FAULTY TCM WHICH CAUSES THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THIS SHOULD BE AN URGENT RECALL. THESE COMBINED CONDITIONS CREATE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED.

THREE SECONDS AFTER I AM MOVING IN REVERSE INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTS FLASHING WARNING MESSAGES SUCH AS NO SPEED OVER 62 MPH, ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEMS SOMETHING, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS WITHOUT BRAKES! I WAS NOT GOING FAST, NOR IN TRAFFIC, BUT THE FACT REMAINS I HAD NO BRAKES, AGAIN! THIS ISSUE WAS 'FIXED' TWO MONTHS EARLIER IN ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE BRAKES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IN ITS ENTIRETY, I MEAN TAKEN OFF THE STREETS. IT'S NOT JUST THE DRIVERS OF THE TRUCK WHO ARE IN DANGER, OTHER DRIVERS, PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS ARE ALSO IN DANGER. A FATALITY IS IMMINENT BUT I ASK THE NHTSA HOW MANY FATALITIES BEFORE THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE IS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD? EVERY SAFETY DEVICE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED: AIRBAGS, SEATBELT, AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE ARE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT IS REPORTED HERE. PLEASE DON'T EXPECT GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THE CAUSE BEHIND THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH! FIRST IT WAS ONSTAR, NOW IT IS THE COMPANY THEY HIRED TO CREATE THEIR COMPUTERIZED BRAKES. COMPUTERS HAVING SO MUCH CONTROL OVER VEHICLES, I'M LEARNING, IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE MY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES WITH ANYONE WHO CAN HELP MY FELLOW AMERICANS AND MYSELF!

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.
