2022 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

I am writing because we received a 2nd recall letter about our 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2. It has the recall for the catastrophic engine failure and neither GM or Chevrolet seem interested in helping us. The Chevrolet representative from the BBB said yesterday that we did not qualify for any thing, no buy back and no financial compensation. She has been the only person who did not try to straight up lie about the engine just dead stopping. We had that issue on [XXX], while on the way to Hickory, NC for a doctors appointment for my husband. He is a [XXX]. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan. [XXX]. He has to maintain a strict schedule, every thing done at the same time every day. Meals, showers, chores, bedtime etc. It calms him. I didn’t want him to buy a Chevy truck, but he fell instantly in love with it. He added a bed cover, 3in lift kit, tinted windows, 20in wheels and tires. A chip that opens up the horsepower and a cold air intake. He bought the truck new in July 2023, from Pioneer Chevy in Abingdon VA. So we are moving right along until 17 miles from Morganton Nc when the truck just stopped. We were on the back mountain road so no one was behind us. My husband was able to get the truck in neutral and roll it to a place where we could get off the road. We waited about 2 hours for a tow to Everett Chevrolet. They would not let us have a loaner car so the tow driver took us to Enterprise & waited to make sure we got a car. So none of this keeps him on his schedule. We went back to the Chevy place where the service manager said it would be the next day before he could look at the truck. He did tell us that the truck had the engine failure recall. We had no idea until then. Thankfully the doctor held a place for us, our appointment was at 11:45am but we didn’t get there till around 3:00. We saw the doctor, got food & headed home to TN. And I started contacting anyone INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I bought the truck it was working fine. Went through Chevy and got all the inspections done before buying the truck and it worked fine. About 2 months later my front collision automatic breaking, lane keep and assist, and automatic high berms stopped working. I’ve talked to many other Silverado owners and this is happening to them too. Even when trying to reset it. With the amount of times this has happened to all these Silverado’s a recall should absolutely happen because having to pay for this is crazy when it’s happening to so many vehicles

The light comes on I pull the number 11 fuse it stays off couple weeks comes right back on

Other vehicles of this year, make and model are recalled because of transmission issues. My vehicle is experiencing shuddering, lack of power, and hard shifting. Theses issues are the same as those found in recall.

Driving across town, rear wheel lock up occurred. Feels like hitting a small tree. Scary situation. Whole truck is rocked.

Our Parking brake locked up and we could not go anywhere. Had to have it taken to a dealership to have it looked at. Then all our warning lights keep going off and it says acceleration speed slow down drive safely and its parked. We have had nothing but problems with the truck since we bought it. We had the transmission replaced before there was even 50,000 miles on it. I feel we got a lemon nothing but problems.

The vehicle intermittently enters a reduced power/limp mode resulting in a sudden loss of acceleration while driving. This has occurred multiple times, including while towing, when the vehicle was unable to safely maintain or reach highway speeds. The loss of power creates a dangerous condition when merging or driving in traffic. Warning messages indicating reduced engine power have appeared, and diagnostic trouble codes have cleared without repair. Despite this, the problem continues to reoccur. The condition is intermittent and not consistently reproducible during dealer diagnostics. The vehicle is currently available for inspection.

I was driving after 2 weeks of purchasing the truck the engine light came on and a message on the dash board that read loose of engine propulsion the truck was having a very hard time accelerating and it was jerking and it would not go into reverse at all this happened on May 30th 2025

Driving across town. Going around 30 mph. Through a busy intersection and the rear wheels locked up again. Sends a jolt to anyone in the vehicle. Causing a whiplash effect. Scary as hell. Seems to happen almost daily now. Very unsafe. Worried about myself and anyone behind me. Dealer and other mechanics described it as "momentary wheel lock up". Please issue a recall.

When accelerating, it started around 35 mph, I would be driving and it would feel like hitting a speed bump, even though there wasn't a speed bump. Over the past month, it has moved to about the 45 mph, and the rear wheels completely lock up for a second, cause the tires to "squeal" as if slamming on the brakes. It gives anyone in the vehicle a whiplash effect. Any loose items in the truck will go flying. It is a scary situation and I am worried it is going to cause damage to myself or my passengers or cause an accident. The term given to me by the dealer is "Momentary Rear Wheel Lock-Up". They were very familiar with the issue, but since my VIN wasn't on the recall, they wouldn't do anything. This has happened numerous times, starting back in early March. The issue has escaladed and gotten worse. The latest date is noted below.

Electronic tailgate malfunction which drained the battery. Tailgate will open on its on with vehicle off but will not open with key fob or any buttons.

Coolant control valve malfunction on my truck with 43300 miles that causes my truck to go into limp mode. Took to dealership and was told I had to pay for an update to the ECM computer that is tied to the warning light. I was told that there are lots of recalls for this part but that I have to pay for a software update as a first line step to see if this will fix the issue. This is a known part failure that needs to be recalled and resolved and owners shouldn’t have to pay for software updates to fix there faulty parts.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds in inclement weather, the ESC warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while making minor steering adjustments or turning to the right or the left, the vehicle skidded. The contact was able to make an adjustment to the steering wheel to regain control of the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was idling roughly and was vibrating noticeably while stopped at a traffic light or while slowing down for traffic. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. Recently, while driving at 45 MPH, the vehicle shuddered and unexpectedly downshifted to first gear. The check engine warning light illuminated, and the RPMs elevated to 4,500 RPM. The contact pulled over and stopped the vehicle, and the vehicle was turned off and restarted. The vehicle was revving abnormally and failed to shift out of first gear. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V797000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Transmission valve body failed. I was driving to the store on 5/17/25 with my son (6) and the RPMs jumped while driving. We were less than a mile from the store and continued as it seemed to not be an issue after that. When we attempted to leave the store we had no reverse gear and the vehicle was in limp mode (limited acceleration). The vehicle has been at the dealership since 5/17/25 and they have confirmed that the valve body failed. The CEL came on when we started the vehicle at the store. This appears to be a prevalent issue for GM and the part to repair is backordered with no ETA available. The dealership advised it could be six months.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after the dealer had replaced the engine, the rear tires seized while driving, preventing the vehicle from moving forward or reverse. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to cover a part of the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 79,013.

Truck has been experiencing intermittent stalling since 1200 miles. Was reported to the dealer and manufacturer. At approximately 20,000 miles (Spring 2025) the truck stalled out at high speed on the highway at approximately 70 mph near Tennessee during a work trip. When stalled, truck lost its ability to steer and break causing the truck to drive off the road and only stopped due to the truck rolling to a stop off-road. Luckily nothing was seriously damaged and it was a rural area with minimal traffic and flat grass lands on the side of the highway.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Vehicle high pressure mechanical fuel pump failed during operation at high speeds, immediate loss of power and throttle response; dealer claimed it was a common problem. Refused to cover under warranty.

2.7l turbo l3b Chevy Silverado started skipping and throwing codes. First the coil packs and plugs were changed. Then crankshaft and camshaft sensors replaced. Then the fuel rail and direct injectors replaced along with harness . Still skipping and making loud noise on startup. Reduced power, etc. mechanic finally got the camshaft carrier off and the very back two exhaust rocker arms were in the carrier. One had lost all needle bearings and one seized up along with both valve lash adjusters broken in half along with one bent valve. As of today, 30 July 2025, I went to buy rocker arms, part # 12701225, and the dealership wouldn’t let me buy them because it’s supposedly getting discontinued so now I have a fairly new truck with no parts to complete repairs.

2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is unable recognize that it has been placed in park consistently, essentially trapping us in the vehicle until the "Shift to Park" error gets corrected. After shifting the vehicle into park and pressing the button to turn off the vehicle, an error comes up on the dash saying "Shift to Park". In order to clear this error and have the vehicle recognize that it is safely parked, we must turn the vehicle back on, put the vehicle in reverse or drive, and depress the gas pedal to move the vehicle slightly, shift the vehicle to park again, wait at least 30 seconds to a minute, and then finally press the button to turn off the vehicle. And we must repeat this anywhere from 3 to 15 times until the brakes safely engage to park the vehicle. I worry that the vehicle wont safely go into park and will roll away on its own. This is the same error that was reported for other GM models recently and is affecting the safety, reliability, usability, and longevity of this vehicle.

On May 3, 2025 my truck would not go into reverse leaving me stranded 250 miles from my home. There was no indication the transmission was having problems (no warning lights and the truck was driving as designed). Then boom -- nothing. I was left stranded on a Saturday evening in a rough part of Detroit putting my safety at risk due to this sudden malfunction. The truck was taken to a GM dealer and had the transmission valve body replaced. Upon the repair, I drove the 250 miles back home. During this trip the torque convertor failed - again leaving the vehicle non operatable. The vehicle went back to the dealer and the torque convertor was replaced. About 1 week later the transmission valve body (that was originally replaced) failed again leaving the vehicle non operatable and me stranded again. I am now being told that transmission valve bodies are on national back order with no eta leaving me without transportation. Leaving a customer stranded multiple times despite replacing several major transmission components created a substantial safety risk to me and my family.

Key will no release from ignition after being placed in park.

General Motors has identified a problem and will not fix or replace the car or engine. I have asked multiple times and there is no answer as to when this recall will be fixed. This is unsatisfactory, it explains that this can cause engine failure and still no answers from GM about this. They owe every single vehicle a replacement motor before someone gets hurt.

When shut off and put in park it will not allow the truck to turn all they way off because it says it’s not in park. I’ve read that there has been several issues with this is the dealer charges anywhere between $900-$1500 to attempt to fix but people are saying it doesn’t. Also there is no dip stick to check transmission fluid. And apparently even ase certified mechanics can’t check the fluid levels

On April 29, 2025 we took our truck in for these 3 recalls Serial Data Gateway Module • N242435631 -Fuel Injector Flow Rate• N242450630 - Park Assist Retrofit - Exp 05/31/27• N222375790. We picked the truck up and had no issues. Then on November 28, 2025 our fuel injector 2 went out. According to articles we have found the recall for the fuel injector flow rate specifically addresses the ECM not controlling fuel injector flow rates and because it was not doing this correctly it put added stress on the fuel injector #2. We took the vehicle to Ken Garf Chevrolet American Fork Utah and they diagnosed the issue as the fuel injector 2 being bad. They quoted us with parts 2000 dollars to fix it. After researching this recall information we took the vehicle to Sky Chevrolet in Provo Utah where we got the vehicle and where it was serviced in April and asked them to look into the fix. They are telling us that they cannot find any correlation between the fuel injector flow rate and the fuel injector 2 going out so they are wanting $600 dollars to fix the fuel injector flow rate. The next thing since the N242435631 update was performed, the automated clock on longer syncs. This is a known side effect of the gateway module update. We were again told that they could find no correlation between the clock and the recall. When doing research we found that that the 2 are very much connected. I would also like to complain about Ken Garf and how they "diagnosed" an issue we told them was already there. I would like to refunded the 200 dollars for the diagnostic fee.

Within the last couple of days, my truck went into limp home mode 3 times, "Reduced Acceleration Drive with Care", check engine light on, right after the truck jerked a few times while it was shifting. Each time the message went away after a re-start but the check engine light was still on. Now the truck also has another message, "Service Transmission Now unable to shift soon". again after the truck jerking while the trans was shifting. I only have 15,781 miles on the truck and it is less than 3 years old.

Sudden limp mode check engine, engine power reduced only first gear working no reverse , dealership determined that the valve actuator on the transmission went out.

My vehicle has been at the dealership for almost three months due to the coolant control valve not working- dealership waiting on part. The check engine kept showing on the dashboard and engine fans running loud. My vehicle has about 22,000 miles on it.

I was driving the truck and it just stopped moving like the vehicle was in neutral. My safety really wasnt put at risk,other then I couldn't move out of the way of other traffic The truck is at simmons and rockwell dealership waiting to be fixed due to the part being on backorder. My check engine light was on but when the garage I usually take my vehicles to put it on a machine to tell them what was wrong with it. It came up with a different issue then the light went out. I just got it back from the garage that same day the control valve went. The garage put it back on the machine and then it said transmission issues. I then had it towed to the dealership. Where the truck is now waiting to be fixed. Thankfully this is covered under my powertrain warranty. I just wanted to report this because I seen alot of the same year different motor chevrolet trucks were recalled for this same part. I just bought this truck less then 3 months ago I am thankful for the warranty. If this is a common issue hopefully me reporting mine saves someone in the future. Thank you

Truck started shifting rough and lurching when sitting still or coming to a stop. Limp mode was engaging and limiting power to unsafe conditions at highway speeds. Check engine turned on, valve body failed

Lots of noise from engine. Truck shutdown while on highway going at high speed. It got towed to dealer for engine replacement.

Vehicle: 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trail Boss, 6.2L V8 L87 engine Date of Incident: Friday, April 19, 2025 Mileage at Time of Failure: ~30,000 miles Location: Route 1 (high-traffic highway) While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly shut down without warning. The RPMs dropped to zero, and I had to quickly merge across lanes with no engine power, creating a serious safety risk to myself and other drivers. There were no warning lights, sounds, or prior symptoms before the failure. I had the truck towed at my own expense to a trusted mechanic, who confirmed that the engine had seized. It has since been transferred to a certified GM dealership for teardown and repair. This failure appears consistent with ongoing reports and an active NHTSA investigation into the 6.2L V8 L87 engine, specifically related to oil pump failure and oversized lifter bores, which can cause catastrophic engine failure without warning. I am concerned about the future reliability of this vehicle, especially since powertrain warranty coverage is limited. Had I known about these known engine issues, I would not have purchased this vehicle. I will be notifying my bank, which holds the lien, as this situation also impacts the value and security of their asset. I intend to request part numbers and full documentation from the dealership to ensure the engine is not replaced with the same potentially defective components.

Engine stalled out at 60mph Had put vehicle in Neutral and pull off the road In process no notification of an issue at all

My truck (2022 Silverado with ~37k mileage) suddenly went into limp mode and gave me a reduced engine power message, along with an ignited check engine light. As soon as this happened, I also received an email stating that there was a diagnostic alert for my vehicle requiring immediate attention (Engine and Transmission System). I immediately called the shop and took it in for diagnostics. I am told it is a valve body issue. It seems that this is a known issue, and it seems extremely dangerous for these faulty parts to be on the road. Thank you in advance for keeping our roads safe and making sure the car companies are held accountable for their faulty systems.

The blind spot warning has been a non stop issue with my truck. It frequently stops working and when it stops working the only indication is a short maybe 3 second message in the driver information center that goes away without the driver having to acknowledge it so it very easy to miss. Sometimes you see this when starting up the truck other times it might be working and then just stop working as you are driving down the highway.

The blind spot notification light on driver door mirror stays on while driving.. the engine sputters and makes noise while driving over 45 mph

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, COOLING FANS ON HIGH SPEED DEALER ADVISED NEEDS A COOLANT FLOW CONTROL VALVE REPAIR PARTS NOT AVAILABLE, SEVERAL VEHICLES WAITING ON SAME PART

I've owned the 2022 Silverado High Country with 6.2L engine. Over the past 3.5 years, the engine has had oil consumption issues where I was required to take the vehicle to Chevrolet dealership every 500 miles in Hampton, VA to have the oil level checked. I kept getting the message "low Oil Level" on the information center. I also kept hearing loud ticking noise coming from the engine. Chevy service would top off the oil level (sometimes 1/2 or 1+ quart low), and send me on my way. After oil consumption and ticking noise continued, I was notified by Dealer that a Safety Recall April 2025 was issued by GM. I met with GM Representative and Chevy Service Manager April 2025, and based on my truck history with oil consumption and lifter noise, decision was made to replace engine. New Engine was installed May 2025 and all appeared to be good to go. However, in November 2025 I heard the loud clicking noise in the new engine. Hampton, VA Chevy service conducted an inspection and found a bent push rod in new engine. Service replaced the push rod and all lifters based on history of lifter issues.

Engine seized up while traveling on interstate at about 75 mph. No warnings. No lights. Just no power and a message on the dash instructing me to restart the engine. This was at the tail end of a 6.5 hour road trip. I was able to put it in neutral and coast to safety. Luckily it was not in a high traffic area.
