MY PICKUP STARTED, I PULLED OUT ON ROAD AND SPED UP TO 35 MPH, WHEN I STEPPED ON BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THEY WERE UNRESPONSIVE, SO I BEGAN PUMPING. THEY FELT VERY HARD TO PUMP AND WERE NOT SLOWING THE TRUCK DOWN. LIGHTS CAME ON SAYING SERVICE BRAKES ETC. AS I COASTED TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN OFF SIDE OF ROAD. I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKES DOWN TO FLOORBOARD AND I?M NOT SURE THEY WERE EVEN WORKING. I LOST POWER STEERING AND WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS REAR-END COLLISION. 4 MESSAGES APPEARED ON DIGITAL DASH WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE ESC, BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62 MPH TOP SPEED, SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM, STEERING ASSIST REDUCED. I HAD TO PRESS BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN VEHICLE ACCIDENT, OR EVEN A FATALITY ACCIDENT. I DOUBT I WILL EVER CARRY MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AGAIN DUE TO THIS AND I CERTAINLY WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK.

I HAVE HAD THE 2019 SIERRA 1500 AT4 WITH 6.2 LITER ENGINE IN THE SHOP (8) TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN LATE AUG 2019 FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES, INCLUDING THE ISSUES RELATING TO THE BRAKE SOFTWARE RECALL. THIS RESULTED IN ME ROLLING THROUGH A STOP SIGN WITHOUT ANY BRAKES. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS AN ENGINEER, I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED LONG TERM BY GM. MY FAMILY WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. AS A RESULT, I HAVE RETAINED AN ATTORNEY FOR THE PURPOSE OF FILING SUIT AGAINST GM FOR SELLING ME AN UNSAFE LEMON. EVEN FURTHER CONCERNING IS THE FACT THAT ON (2) OCCASIONS THE PARKING BRAKE HAS ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. ONE TIME WHILE IN 4WD IN SNOW, AND THE OTHER TIME WHILE IN 2WD ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS A DIAGNOSTIC CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGING RANDOMLY. THE SECOND TIME, THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE PRESENT. THE FIRST ISSUE WITH BRAKING BEGAN 11/14/2019, AND THE MOST RECENT ISSUE OCCURRED ON 2/2/2020 EVEN AFTER ALL RECALL "FIXES" HAVE BEEN APPLIED. *JS

4 MESSAGES APPEARED ON DIGITAL DASH WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE ESC, BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62 MPH TOP SPEED, SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM, STEERING ASSIST REDUCED. I HAD TO PRESS BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. NOTE THAT NONE OF THE 4 MESSAGES STATE THE VEHICLE WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP OR SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN, BUT RATHER THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T EXCEED 62 MPH. IT SHOULD HAVE REDUCED THE SPEED TO MUCH LESS, MAYBE 10 TO 15 MPH. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN VEHICLE ACCIDENT, OR EVEN A FATALITY ACCIDENT. I DOUBT I WILL EVER CARRY MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AGAIN DUE TO THIS AND I CERTAINLY WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO DRIVE THE TRUCK.

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. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

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).
