  Driving my vehicle on the interstate at 70mph when the transmission made a hard downshift and brought my wife, two children, an infant and toddler, and I to a very sudden 40mph.Before I was able to find a shoulder to pull over the transmission fluid overheated and vehicle would no longer change gears. I then towed it to the dealership where purchased originally. Vehicle was then towed to and diagnosed at a Chevrolet dealership where ultimately resulted in a valve body and clutch failure.

  The dealership diagnosed the truck after investigating a ticking noise and engine misfire. During the inspection, they removed the valve cover and found that one of the pushrods on cylinder #5 was bent. Further disassembly revealed that both lifters on cylinder #5 had failed, causing excessive wear on the camshaft lobe. As a result, the dealership determined that the necessary repair was to replace the camshaft and all 16 lifters. The engine was then cleaned, reassembled, and tested to ensure proper operation. The root cause of the issue appears to have been a failing lifter, which led to damage of the associated valvetrain components.

  The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the forward collision, check engine, and traction control warning lights illuminated, and the messages "Forward Collision Unavailable," "Service Traction Control," and "Service ESC" displayed on the instrument panel. An abnormal muffler sound was heard, the engine compartment vibrated, and the vehicle failed to accelerate above 35 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the engine was disassembled and it was determined that the lifters failed and the engine required replacement. Prior to the failure, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for an illuminated check engine warning light and an engine knocking sound; however, the dealer only cleared the diagnostic trouble codes while the vehicle was under warranty. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was unknown.

  Thursday XXX - Left [XXX] on our way to [XXX] for a beach vacation on our 2022 Chevy Tahoe z71. Made it to [XXX] and spent the night there Friday XXX - Left our hotel in [XXX] and headed to [XXX]. Expected arrival time 8 pm About 40 miles east of [XXX] our Tahoe shuts down and I pull to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. It’s 99 degrees. I called several dealerships around and decided on Ryan Chevrolet in [XXX]. I called a tow truck and wait for 3 hours. My wife and two kids walk 1 mile to a gas station. I call the XXXstate patrol to get them to park behind me as semis at 80 miles per hour are flying by me. Having semis pass by at 80 miles per hour is obviously very scary and extremely dangerous. Tow truck takes me and the Tahoe to Ryan Chevrolet and am able to drop the car there 30 minutes before they close for the weekend. Tow truck driver takes me to the XXX airport where I have managed to rent an SUV that will allow me to complete my vacation. Drive through the night and make it to my hotel in [XXX] at 2:30 am. Thursday XXX - Drive back to [XXX] Friday XXX Go to Enterprise Rental cars in [XXX], explain that I will need a car till my Tahoe gets its engine replaced. I get a Chevy Blazer. Friday XXX - I drive 5 hours to [XXX] to pick up my Chevy Tahoe, return the Enterprise rental at the [XXX] airport and then drive another 5 hours back to [XXX]. I bought this car new at the dealership and has only been serviced by that same dealership. About a year ago the oil type was changed as part of the recall.

  My 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe equipped with the 5.3L V8 experienced a severe engine failure at approximately 92,144 miles. The vehicle developed multiple misfires and was towed to the Chevrolet dealership for diagnosis. The dealership documented a failed lifter, significant camshaft damage, metal in the engine oil, and metal contamination throughout the engine. The engine had to be replaced with a complete long block at a total cost of approximately $14,395. I am concerned because this was a major internal engine failure at relatively low mileage, involving a lifter and resulting in extensive engine damage. GM has issued technical service information regarding lifter-related conditions and misfires affecting the 5.3L L84 engine family, which is the engine in my vehicle. GM provided $1,859.29 in partial repair assistance but has declined any additional assistance. I am reporting this failure because I believe the nature and severity of the engine failure warrant investigation for a potential recurring safety or reliability issue involving the 5.3L L84 engine.

  I am reporting a transmission failure involving my 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71, VIN [XXX]. In XXX, while driving, my Tahoe became stuck in Drive and would not shift into Reverse. The transmission then completely failed and the vehicle could no longer be driven normally. I took the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealership, where the transmission failure was diagnosed and replacement was recommended. GM’s quoted replacement cost was very high, so I had the transmission replaced by an independent mechanic in [XXX] using a certified GM replacement transmission. I subsequently became aware of NHTSA recall 26V085 / GM N252536750 involving certain 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles with the 10-speed transmission. The recall involves a transmission control valve that may fail and cause loss of transmission function and, under certain circumstances, rear-wheel lockup. My Tahoe’s manufacturing date is XXX, so I understand it is outside the currently identified production range for this recall. However, my vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure with an inability to shift into Reverse. I am requesting that NHTSA review this failure to determine whether the original transmission may have experienced the same or a related defect and whether vehicles outside the currently identified production range may also be affected. The Chevrolet dealership that diagnosed the failure may have diagnostic records, trouble codes, and transmission identification information for the original transmission. I can provide these records and the independent repair documentation if needed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

A week later I have no answers, there's no loaners available, so I am just without a car. We bought car from Zimbrick Chevy in [XXX]. It was never disclosed to us that the vehicle had an engine replacement right before we purchased. New engine lasted about 16,000 miles.

  I am the original owner of my vehicle. It is essentially 4 years old and the evaporator coil has gone out on the vehicle. The evaporator coil goes passed just cooling the car. It affects the defrosting and temperature of the windshield for safety. The dealership is the one too have diagnosed the issue with the vehicle. It requires a complete disassembling of the dashboard on their part in order to repair. The only warning I received was the passenger's side of the car blew cool air, the driver's side blew hot air for a couple of days and then it went out completely. There was housing by the dashboard. When it rained, I could not defrost my windows. I was in a very unsafe situation.

  This vehicle is subject to Safety Recall N252494000 / NHTSA Campaign 25V274 for a known L87 6.2L V8 engine defect. Prior to the June 2025 recall notice, I incurred repair costs for the same defect at Schumacher Chevrolet, [XXX], on XXX ($405.63) and XXX ($2,755.76), neither of which resolved the issue. On XXX and again on 02/14/2025, the vehicle suffered total loss of propulsion on [XXX], once causing a missed professional licensing exam and requiring emergency roadside repair. The vehicle's engine replacement repair order remained open for 181 consecutive days (XXX) before GM authorized a full engine replacement under warranty. I submitted a written reimbursement demand to GM on XXX for $10,717.31 in documented losses under 49 CFR § 577.7. GM has not responded in writing and instead offered an unverifiable verbal credit of $3,000, which the servicing dealer has no record of. I am filing this complaint due to GM's failure to remedy this known, pre-notification defect within a reasonable time as required by 49 U.S.C. § 30120.

  2022 Chevy Tahoe went into limp mode at 62,500 miles out of the blue and check engine light came on. At the certified Chevy dealership I was told it was the transmission control valve, Code P2732, which is a known widespread factory issue in these models. Upon further inspection, was told my transmission fluid was completely black and burned and it ruined the transmission and therefore it needs to be replaced. "Consequential Damage Policy: When a control valve body fails and stays "stuck on," it forces maximum line pressure through the system. Continuing to drive under these conditions quickly destroys the internal clutch packs, burns the fluid, and melts down the transmission." This is exactly what happened and my vehicle was never put on a recall list but clearly was a ticking time bomb.

  Driving the vehicle down the highway at approximately 65 miles per hour, the check engine light came on and the engine went into limp mode, slowing immediately. Upon getting the vehicle to the left shoulder on a busy highway, the vehicle displayed "engine overheating", "battery low", and 0% oil life.

  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.

  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).
