JUNE 27TH I WAS LEAVING A GAS STATION IN NOVATO CA WITH MY DAUGHTER AND FATHER IN THE TRUCK. I SLOWLY STARTED MOVING THROUGH THE STATION AND NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME SO I DROPPED DOWN TO FIRST GEAR AND SLOWLY MOTORED HOME TO WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE NOVATO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I THEN BEGAN THE PROCESS OF REQUESTING GM TO BUY THIS TRUCK BACK AND ITS DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE A SHORT PROCESS. IM STILL CURRENTLY DRIVING THIS THING WITH NO DIAGNOSIS OF ANY BRAKE ISSUE. MY WIFE WON'T EVEN GET INTO THE TRUCK. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TRUCK AND WISH THERE WAS A DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO WHAT HAPPENED. GM CORPORATE SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO PLEASE BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVAL. IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN?!!! IM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AIR COOLED SEATS NOT WORKING PROPERLY! I DRIVE A FIRE ENGINE FOR A LIVING AND MY JOB IS TO KEEP OTHERS SAFE. NOW I'M HAVING TO DRIVE THIS THING WHILE WAITING FOR GM TO STEP UP AND BUY THIS BACK BEFORE THE BRAKES GO OUT AGAIN. I SUPPOSE SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE GM ACKNOWLEDGES THERE'S AN ISSUE HERE.

ON 5/28/19 I FILLED MY 2019 GMC SIERRA DENALI AT THE LOCAL GAS STATION. AS USUAL I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER FUELING, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION. UPON EXITING I LOST ALL BRAKING POWER AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS GOING APPROX. 5 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL IT WAS ON THE FLOOR WITH EXTREME FORCE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AT APPROX. 4:41PM I RECIEVED AN ONSTAR EMAIL WITH AN ANTILOCK BRAKE PROBLEM. EMAIL SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE WITHIN 7 DAYS.

AS PER SI BUICK GMC THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY COMPUTER CODES. THE HYDRAULIC TEST SHOWED NO ISSUES. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE UPGRADED THE COMPUTER AND THE TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AS OF 5/30. THEY WANT TO TEST DRIVE AGAIN ON 5/31 AND I ASSUME I'LL BE ASKED TO PICK UP MY TRUCK. I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING 5MPH WHEN I LOST FULL BRAKING. I WAS TOLD IF THE ISSUE HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR AS NEEDED. THIS SAFETY ISSUE CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY AND OR PROVE TO BE FATAL. DEPENDING ON TECHNOLOGY TO DETERMINE BRAKING CAPACITY IS ABSURD. 2019 GMC SIERRA ALSO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DULY NOTED BY CUSTOMERS. FORUMS ALSO MARK THE SAME BRAKING PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED WITH OTHER OWNERS IN DIFFERENT STATES. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS, PASSENGERS AND PEDESTRIANS!

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.
