BRAND NEW TRUCK, AT4, 15K MILES, 5 MONTHS OLD. WAS VERY COLD TODAY OUTSIDE, WAS IN A STORE AND STARTED VEHICLE REMOTELY. CAME OUTSIDE TO A RUNNING VEHICLE, SAT IN DRIVERS SEAT AND PRESSED START BUTTON. NOTICED MULTIPLE WARNING SOUNDS/LIGHTS, DASH READ "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62MPH TOP SPEED", SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM", STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE" SERVICE ESC". THE ABS, CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ALSO ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER (WHO IS 5 MILES AWAY) AND READ THEM ALL THE MESSAGES AND ASKED IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE TO THEIR LOCATION. AFTER A BRIEF HOLD, THE SERVICE TECH STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE OVER. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OUT ONTO RT6. WHILE STILL IN THE PARKING LOT, TRAVELING APPROX 10-15MPH I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK MY FULL POWER ON THE PEDDLE TO STOP, AND APPROXIMATE 20-30 FEET OF DISTANCE BEFORE IT STOPPED FULLY. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE TECH BACK AND INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH 5% OR SO BREAK CAPACITY. SHE PROVIDED THE GM NUMBER FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THEIR SHOP A SHORT TIME AGO AND I AM AWAITING THEIR FEEDBACK. ON A SIDE NOTE, I WAITED IN THE TRUCK AS I DID NOT WANT TO SHUT IT DOWN, I WANTED THE SERVICE TECH TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WAS ON THE SCREEN. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS, WITH ME IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH THE KEYS, THE TRUCK SHUT ITSELF OFF. WHEN IT RESTARTED THE MESSAGES WERE GONE, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. LUCKILY I TOOK PHOTOS AND VIDEO RECORDED THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO. THE LOSS OF BRAKES FOR ANY ISSUE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH THE UTTERMOST CARE FOR SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS SEEMLY KNOWN ISSUE WILL (IF NOT ALREADY) RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH IF NOT CORRECTED QUICKLY.

RANDOM INTERMITTENT VEHICLE BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED RANDOM BRAKE FAILURE FOR 45 MINUTES AT A TIME ON MY SIERRA. NO CODES OR WARNINGS ARE SHOWN WHEN IT HAPPENS. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, AND RANDOM. CONDITION CREATES AN EXTREMELY HARD PEDDLE WITH EXTREMELY REDUCED BRAKING POWER. SAFE STOPPING DISTANCE IS INCREASED AT LEAST 3 FOLD. VEHICLE BRAKES WILL START WORKING AGAIN IF TRUCK IS LEFT PARKED AND IGNITION OFF AFTER 30 MINUTES. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO THE SERVICING DEALER, THEY DROVE IT 30 MILES AND A WEEK LATER, GM INSTRUCTED ME TO PICK MY TRUCK BACK UP AFTER NO REPAIRS DO TO THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I EXPRESSED EXTREME CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY, AND GM STANCE IS, "NO CODES NO PROBLEM". I WAS INSTRUCTED BY GM TO SIMPLY BRING IT BACK IN WHEN MY BRAKES FAIL AGAIN. 2 WEEKS LATER, MY BRAKES FAILED AGAIN, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONCE AGAIN, THE TRUCK CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER SITTING WITH THE IGNITION OFF FOR 30 MINUTES. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY DROVE IT AND "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN" ONCE AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL DURING THEIR OPEN BUSINESS HOURS SO THAT THEY CAN SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE OFF THE ROAD AND CONCERNING TO GM, BUT IT IS NOT. THROUGH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TRUCK YEAR AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND GM IS NEGLIGENT TOWARDS OUR SAFETY AND THE INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. THIS NEW "E-BOOST" BRAKING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE MY FAMILY OR OTHERS ARE KILLED OR INJURED BY THIS DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED BOTH TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING SLOWING DOWN FOR CURVES AND STOPPED TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND PERSISTED AT ALL CONDITIONS UNTIL IT RESET ITSELF AFTER SITTING OFF FOR 30 MINUTES.

2EA25007 · 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.
