Having reviewed online your safety recall number N252536750, I am experiencing the same issue (right rear wheel occasionally locks when starting from a standstill and turning right). It only lasts about 1 or 2 seconds while accelerating. However, when I discussed this with my Chevrolet Dealer, I was told that according to the VIN for my 2022 Suburban 3.0L Diesel, I am not part of that recall. I plan to take it to the Chevrolet Dealer very soon for more analysis. However, I wanted to bring this to your attention, as it could be hazardous. I have not gotten any dash warning messages. Thank you.
While driving down the high way with the check engine light on, a message appeared on the screen and said “unable to shift soon. Service transmission immediately.” After driving a few more miles the vehicle shifted to neutral, and then as soon as I got on the shoulder of the highway and slowed to approximately 5 mph, the vehicles wheels locked up and the car jerked aggressively into park. This exact issue has occurred multiple times while driving. It is unsafe to drive the vehicle.
camshaft failure cylinder 7
Check engine light with rough shifting and vehicle wouldn’t go in reverse. For safety reasons we had the vehicle towed to our local Chevy Dealership. Transmission needed a valve body rebuild. This is a known issue with this transmission but our VIN wasn’t under that recall.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly shifted to neutral(N) and the vehicle shut off. The driver was able to coast safely to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was determined that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was previously taken to the same dealer for a prior recall repair. The dealer had provided a loaner vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,166.
Unmodified 2022 Chevrolet Suburban with 53K mi, driving 25 mph on paved county road. Without warning the upper ball joint on the right front side sheared off. There were no sounds, no bumps or grinding, truck is routinely maintained, cleaned and inspected - this was out of the blue. If we had been going faster it could have been a disaster. The dealer confirmed it is the upper ball joint. Significant mechanical damage has included the upper control arm and drive line (4wd). We are working with GM to get this repaired. It certainly seems like a Serious Safety issue. I have seen many reports of this problem.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while changing the oil and filter, there were metal shavings found in the oil filter. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was notified of the failure over the phone. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Vehicle accelerated while driving. The RPMs gage turned red; however, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road with other cars coming. After the vehicle came to a full stop it would not move. Finally it started moving slowly and I was able to get off the road. When the tow truck arrived the vehicle would only go forward. No reverse. Error message on dashboard picture attached
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear wheels seized. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The message "Reduced Acceleration, Drive with Caution" was displayed. The contact's wife pulled into a parking lot, but the transmission failed to shift into reverse(R). The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was determined that the transmission control valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V085000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
2/24/2026 Sitting at red light, very busy road, vehicle cut off and said push to start. Vehicle would not start and would not shift out of park to push out of road. Very dangerous to be stranded in moving traffic. Had to be towed to dealer and it's still there waiting on engine replacement.
Engine locked up going 75mph on highway. The vehicle's 6.2L V8 engine was recalled in 2025. Result of recall inspection was to change oil type to 0w-40. The vehicle is in the process of being inspected by dealer.
My 2022 Chevrolet Suburban 6.2L, approximately 96,000 miles. Vehicle was taken to dealership for transmission warning message and returned as “repaired” with a software update. The following day, February 12th, while driving at highway speed on the expressway, the vehicle suddenly lost power without warning. A message appeared instructing me to press start, and the vehicle shifted into neutral and stalled. No warning lights were illuminated prior to the stall. This created a serious safety risk due to sudden loss of power at highway speed.

My vehicle was subject to a GM recall involving inspection of the 6.2L engine. The recall inspection was completed by an authorized GM dealership at 58,581 miles. The vehicle was cleared as passing the recall criteria and returned to me. Within fewer than 10 miles after leaving the dealership following the recall inspection, at approximately 58,590 miles, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of propulsion while traveling at highway speed (approximately 65 mph) on a divided U.S. highway while ascending an incline. The vehicle shifted into neutral and lost engine power without warning. Steering and braking remained functional, but the vehicle lost forward motive power in the left lane of traffic. Attempts to restart the engine resulted in a loud mechanical thud, and the engine would not restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. The engine is now being replaced. Prior to this incident, the vehicle had previously undergone an oil consumption test related to engine concerns before the recall campaign. This failure occurred shortly after the vehicle was inspected and cleared under the recall procedure. I am reporting this due to the sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed following recall inspection and the subsequent need for complete engine replacement.
“Service safety restraint system” light came on. I feel this is a defect and a serious concern. I’ve seen where others are experiencing the same issue. I bought this vehicle specifically because I wanted to a safe vehicle to drive my 4 children around in.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the instrument cluster failed to function as intended. The instrument cluster displayed a screen with lines. In addition, the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the instrument panel displayed a blank screen. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed instrument cluster. The contact was informed that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that on March 03, 2026, the vehicle was serviced at the dealer. The contact stated that four unknown recall repairs were performed, and the failure occurred a week after the recall repairs were performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,448.
I own a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban RST that has experienced ongoing mechanical and safety issues over several years. I first began reporting drivability concerns to General Motors and the dealership in 2023 and continued contacting them throughout 2024 and 2025. During one dealership visit, a sales advisor rode in the vehicle with me and stated they did not observe any issues, despite my continued reports. The vehicle later suffered a loss of propulsion and required a full engine replacement. The radiator and cooling components were also replaced by a Chevrolet dealership. Due to ongoing concerns for my safety, I contacted General Motors multiple times, requested an executive buyback, and asked about Lemon Law options. GM advised that the engine had been replaced and that I needed to take ownership of the vehicle. After picking up the vehicle last Wednesday, I immediately noticed a persistent sweet coolant/radiator odor inside the cabin and outside the vehicle that continued for nearly a week. I also experienced engine hesitation/stuttering when stopped at traffic lights as the auto start/stop feature reengaged. I attempted to contact GM again regarding these concerns prior to today’s incident. Today, while driving, the vehicle displayed an engine overheating warning instructing me to turn the car off immediately. I safely pulled over and shut the vehicle down and am currently stranded roadside. Given the repeated failures, history of loss of propulsion, multiple repair attempts, denied buyback requests, persistent coolant odor, drivability issues, and now overheating shortly after engine and radiator replacement, I believe this vehicle presents an ongoing safety risk and request formal investigation.
My 6.2L engine failed on 1/6/26 due to a OEM bearing issue. The vehicle was inspected and engine had to be replaced after the recall and service were done. The vehicle stalled while doing 30 mph on a local road. No warning lights or problems were observed or detected prior to the incident.
Car says "service safety restraint system" and airbag light comes on intermittently. Dealer won't cover under safety restraint warranty. They site TSB about a wire that GM made too short but are not sure it will fix it. This car has 42,000. We are worried the safety restraint system won't work and we carry 4 children in our vehicle. This should be covered and a safety recall.
On Saturday, 11/29/25 @ 3PM, while driving on I-75 from GA to MIA, our 2022 Suburban VIN: [XXX] sudden & unexpected had a mechanical failure. Without warning, vehicle stalled/ stop while traveling at highway speed, leaving us seconds to maneuver to the side. This failure created an extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted catastrophic or fatal accident for my family. Check engine light came on (code P102A). An officer stopped to assist & arranged car to be tow which we had to pay $135 to nearest Chevrolet dealership. Since the dealership was closed, I was forced to stay an additional night in a nearby hotel and paid $106.46. The vehicle was inspected by Countryside Chevrolet, who diagnosed the issue as a failure of the fuel pump control module however I was informed that this VIN was not covered under warranty or any special coverage, despite the fact that we experienced the exact same failure on our 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, which was covered under warranty for this same defect. I was forced to pay $708.72 for the repair. This inconsistency is unacceptable—especially considering GMs extensive history of complaints, recalls, & class action litigation involving defective fuel pump & fuel system components, which present a well-documented safety risk. I filed a complaint with GM Customer Care (Case XXX). I submitted all required receipts for repairs, towing & hotel, however GM denied my claim without providing any explanation, only stating VIN was “not covered.” Also, GM refused to provide a written justification & my request for a manager callback was ignored. No consideration was given to the safety implications of this failure. This response is unacceptable & demonstrates a failure to take responsibility for a known safety defect. Demand: Given the seriousness of this incident, the documented defect, & GM’s prior knowledge of same failures, I demand full refund of $950.18 for expenses. This situation could have ended tragically. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Car initially started stuttering on the high, check engine and traction control lights came on. I immediately went to the nearest Chevy dealership a mile away. Initially I had 20 error codes. The problem was the Left side lifters 4 of 8 stop working. Dealership recommended Replace Left lifters, 2 push rods, valve cove, head gasket. $5000. After starting the work. The technician could not repair the lifters because my camshaft is pitted and the RODS were rotating. Their recommendation is to replaced the whole engine to fully fix the problem. $12000 with 3 yr warranty. My SUV just 100kmiles.
Onstar, my vehicle's core safety communication system, stopped working without notice, without an alert on the dash. Nothing. I press the onstar button and nothing happens. What if I was in trouble? Didn't have my phone? The issue was not communicated to me through the infotainment system. This seems like a serious issue.
Engine failed while driving. Vehicle began making clicking noise less than one minute for engine shut off while driving. Check engine light came on after engine shut off. Car was stopped at a busy intersection and couldn’t move. Car is currently at Chevrolet dealership and is in need of a total engine replacement
The contact owned a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked with the engine running, the front of the vehicle began to shake violently, with a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The check engine, traction control, and collision warning lights were illuminated. The contact called an independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact later visited the dealer and was informed that the vehicle needed to be brought in for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
I own a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban (VIN: [XXX] ) that is included in NHTSA Recall No. 25V274 / GM Recall No. N252494000 for engine defects in the 6.2L L87 V8 engine. My vehicle was inspected at an authorized GM dealer today, on 9/23/2025 (Don K in Whitefish Montana). Instead of replacing the engine, the dealer performed the recall “remedy” of switching to higher-viscosity oil, changing the oil cap and filter, and providing an owner’s manual insert. However, the dealer service manager specifically told me that my engine will eventually fail due to the known defect and advised me not to drive the vehicle on long trips. He also told me to be careful driving if I have children, and it is only a matter of time before the engine fails, which will look like sudden shuttering, loss of acceleration and it will no longer run. He told me wait time to get a new engine after it fails is currently 8 months. This is alarming because the recall notice states that engine failure can cause sudden loss of propulsion without warning, which could be catastrophic going across multiple lanes of highway (from my home street), and entering and exiting my street via the 4 lane highway "suicide lane". I am very worried about this in the coming winter season with snow and ice. The current “oil upgrade” remedy does not resolve the underlying manufacturing defect in the connecting rod and/or crankshaft. Even after the recall service, my vehicle remains unsafe to operate, and the dealer’s own warning confirms this. I request that NHTSA review GM’s recall remedy to ensure that it adequately addresses the safety defect. A true remedy should involve replacement of the defective engine components, not just an oil change, or an immediate buy back of my automobile by the company so I can purchase another safer vehicle. My family and I do not feel safe driving this vehicle, and the manufacturer’s current approach does not eliminate the risk of catastrophic engine failure.

Summary: Sudden loss of engine power while driving due to lifter failure. Details: While driving my 2022 Chevrolet Suburban equipped with the 5.3L V8 (RPO L84), the engine suddenly lost power without warning. The vehicle began misfiring and lost propulsion in traffic, creating a hazardous situation. I was unable to maintain normal speed and had to maneuver to safety while the truck rapidly lost power. The dealer later diagnosed the problem as a collapsed lifter/valvetrain failure — an issue that GM has already documented in service bulletins (PIP5776G, 23-NA-043) and a service update (N212353840). These bulletins show GM has long been aware of defective lifters in 5.3L engines. This is not just a drivability concern. A sudden engine failure and loss of propulsion while driving poses a clear safety risk, especially when merging, crossing intersections, or towing. I maintained the vehicle properly and have all service records. I request NHTSA investigate these widespread lifter failures in GM’s 5.3L V8 engines as a safety defect, since they can and do cause sudden loss of power in motion.
I own a 2022 Chevrolet suburban and bought the 72k mile extended warranty. Recently my telematics module went bad which is covered by the GMPP. I lost wifi, my clock is wrong everytime etc. However General Motors no longer makes this part anymore. Parts department utilizes a third party company called specmo for a refurbished authorized unit. However, GMPP will only cover the original msrp not the inflated price from the company specmo that GM uses for these parts. This part is 100% covered based on an msrp for a part that they no longer use and states that policy does not allow them to cover the full cost over the original msrp of the part. This is an issue that is all over the forums and internet and is ridiculous that GMPP is an extension/better than manufactures warranty yet they will not fully cover the full cost of the part that is covered. A few days later I was driving and my abs, traction control, steering, brakes, everything was flashing and not responsive or dramatically reduced like my brakes where I could not stop immediately with me and my 5 kids in the car.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, there was an abnormal scraping sound coming from under the vehicle. After stopping to inspect the vehicle, the contact discovered that the fuel tank had partially detached from the subframe and fuel was leaking from the fuel tank. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who replaced the fuel tank. No further information was available. The cause of the failure was unknown. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
I want to complain that my 6.2L V8 engine was “inspected” and they deemed it OK, then proceeded to make a requirement of thicker oil for its life. I was also given a long term warranty on the engine, however it is non-transferable, therefore the re-sale value of the vehicle is damaged beyond normal conditions. The engine is suspect, why else would it need thicker oil? The engine is all over the news with the recall, therefore why would anyone want to purchase my used vehicle based on that press and no further warranty? GM needs to make this right! That 10-year or 150,000 miles means nothing to re-sale value if is not transferable.
Engine Coolant Control Valve sticking and causing the fan to run continuously. (P1098). Seems to be an issue with several people.
The motor on this vehicle has been on recall since April of 2025. Several phone calls and a cancelled appointment by the dealership has netted a consistent "we have no information and aren't ready to fix the vehicle." Today, I was directed to the NHTSA to self-monitor when my vehicle would be ready for repair or inspection. Meanwhile, I drive a Suburban because I have five children that I am constantly transporting to school, sports events, scouts, etc. I have grave concerns over an engine failure while I am transporting my children and the risk of an accident.
Hi my 2022 chevroley suburban has been sidelined for more than two months with a problem that involves my cylinder number 5 ( lifter and camshaft or crankshaft ) i believe. a well known issue with these cars. i happened just a few miles out of my warranty. when i went to chevrolet to explain to them. they didn't want to fix it. i have two young children that i take to school with this vehicle and they won't help me. this is a known issue with this model and it has been recalled many times. i'm stranded because of this car being out of an engine ... mind you the problem started well before my warranty and i was thinking that i needed some spark plugs ... by the time i realized it ... it went right over my warranty.
Onstar module failed, no longer have wifi, navigation or other onstar supported features. Cannot perform system updates for vehicle due to onstar module. Cannot use app due to onstar module.

Our 2022 suburban with the diesel motor has had 3 separate incidents where by all accounts the wheels have locked up while driving. The incidents mirror what has been described in the recall N242454440. The first time the incident occurred, we were driving while towing a light load (boat ~2500 lbs) at a steady speed of 60 mph. While driving the vehicle shook violently once, and then again about 2-3 seconds later. I immediately pulled over suspecting that maybe there was an issue with our trailer. After finding nothing we drove home without incident. Shortly after this incident we had the transmission flushed for regular maintenance at about 50,000 miles. Approximately 5-6 months later the second incident occurred. While driving with no trailer, up a mountain in NC at a steady speed of 35 mph, the vehicle shook violently and then again approximately 2-3s later. Each time the vehicle shook a loud "BUMP" noise would be heard. The road was smooth and was later driven on without issue so it was not the terrain. I once again got out and inspected the vehicle and was unable to find an issue. We drove to where we were staying and immediately took the vehicle to a dealer the following day to be inspected. The dealer found no issues and we did not report any similar problems. The last incident occurred after another 8 months while towing a light utility trailer at a steady speed of 60mph. Same thing happened with a shake and loud BUMP. However this time it was not followed immediately by an other instance. Those came approximately a minute later and then again after about 10 more minutes. I cannot recreate the issue and it seems to be at complete random and is happening while driving steady rates of speed where the transmission shouldn't be trying to shift. It seems like a safety hazard that could cause an accident.
Driving down to Florida, No warning, no lights, never any issues except a belt replacement. I get oil changes, tire rotation every 3500 miles. Almost got killed doing 75 miles per hour, engine sputtered, totally shut down. Coasted onto an exit ramp thank God it was right there or we could of been killed. Tow truck towed to Davis Chevy Gainsville, they called me on Monday said good news I have a warranty bad news Total Engine Failure, will take 3-4 weeks to replace. Now I am trying to find a GM rental large enough to get me and my family back to TN since GM said they will only pay for a GM rental car. Scary, could of gotten killed. NO NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT ANY POSSIBE PROBLEMS....WE ALMOST GOT KILLED AND CRASHED along with the other drivers on the road. Thank God it was a Sunday and 6 am so not much traffic or it would of been worst.
When attempting to drive from a stop light or stop sign, after taking your foot of the brake, the vehicle intermittently completely turns off. It will not immediately restart and you find yourself stuck in the middle of an intersection creating a safety issue. The vehicle has been in to Chevrolet to have this issue fixed once already and it continues to repeat. I doubt the dealer has been able to replicate the issue as they haven't gotten the vehicle back into the shop after it's been sitting there for a week. There were no warning lights, messages, or other symptoms. It has happened to both myself and my wife, most recently on or about 7/1/25 where it happened to my wife multiple times causing us to leave the vehicle at the dealership for service. Just to be clear, the issue with the vehicle turning off is different from the standard auto stop/start feature.
The coolant control valve malfunctioned on this vehichle several times during the course of ownership. It causes the vehichle to run in limp mode. This part was replaced in July 2023 at ~40,000 miles as a result. The part again began to fail in june/july 2025 with a dealer visit and diagnostic in July. This causes a check engine light, reduced milage, reduced acceleration, constant fan running and fails state inspection Google searches indicate this is a very common problem, yet no recall has occured to date. The first repair was in warrantee and now the vehicle is out of warantee. If the part was not covered under the vehicle warrantee, the part and repair would have been covered by the part warantee. Becsuse of the initial powertrain warrantee repair, the part warrantee does not apply. This is clearly a defective design and part that requires recall and replacement at GM cost
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated while driving at various speeds or while accelerating from a complete stop, the automatic emergency braking system engaged while there was no other vehicle nearby, and the vehicle skidded. The contact stated that the traction control warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed in the rain the failure reoccurred, causing the vehicle to skid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was test-driven, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.
The rear seatbelt in my 2022 Chevrolet Suburban RST became dangerously tight around my daughter's waist while she was lying down in the seat. The belt would not release despite multiple attempts. She was hanging off the seat and in distress, and I was forced to cut the belt to prevent injury. This raises serious concerns about the seatbelt retraction mechanism. I request a formal investigation.
Engine lost power and stalled without warning while driving down the highway. Coasted to side of road and was unable to restart engine. After engine stopped, dash indicated low fuel, although tank was 3/4 full. After coming to a stop, was unable to shift out of Park (which could have been a major issue if I had not been able to clear the highway before coming to a stop). Towed vehicle to closest Chevrolet dealer, who replaced the fuel pump control module. Dealer indicated that this is a common failure item to the point that they stock the part and suspected what the failure was based on my description. When pressed, the dealer representative also noted that GM has not updated or redesigned the factory installed fuel pump control module ("the new module installed is exactly the same as the one that failed"). Fortunately, traffic was light and I was able to pull to the side of road. This would be extremely dangerous if it happened while driving on a multi-lane expressway and we were trapped at a stop in heavy, fast moving traffic.
We experienced catastrophic failure while driving the vehicle on the highway. It stopped working with no warning leaving our family stranded in the lane with heavy traffic all around us. The steering wheel would not move the car would not go in neutral and there was a burning smell coming from the hood. My kids were terrified. We had to wait for state police and a tow truck while praying that the cars behind us would stop in time. We are very lucky there was not an accident. The car is with the Chevy dealer now.
A. The Emergency Brake system, The Anti-Collision Sensor, The vibrating Driver's seat Alert, The dashboard Collision Alert lightening......All of these gave no alert prior to the collision. B.The failure of the safety devices prevented from me from avoiding a collision that was cause by the other driver (Police report available for your peruse) C. They inspected and denied any liability for any failure of their safety devices (And my question to them is if any these are functioning properly as said, then there wouldn't be any collision ) D. Yes, inspected E. There were no waring lamps, no seat vibration, the emergency brake never ceased the car from colliding.
53,000 miles. While on highway, engine turned off completely. Coasted off the exit ramp into a parking lot. Engine started again with no issue. 2 days later: engine started knocking very loudly. Vehicle completely died while driving on street. No start, no crank, couldn't shift to neutral. Dash would turn on, but that was it.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed and there was an abnormal banging sound coming from the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer. The dealer determined that the engine had failed but was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: PE25001 (Engine, Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that there was a knocking sound coming from the engine while remotely starting the vehicle. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that there was no part for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
This is the second engine failure. First engine was completed being installed on 7/26/24 also reported catastrophic engine failure. Second engine was installed completion date on 4/04/25 it also had spun 2 rob bearings
Valve Body issues under powertrain factory warranty. Recall needed due to unreasonable national parts delay.
While driving from work to the gym (03/04/25), I was stuck in traffic due to a wreck; when traffic started moving again, I didn't. It was like it was in neutral and was just sitting there revving the engine. It finally started moving but clearly not functioning properly. A few miles later the Check Engine light came on with a "Reduced Acceleration Drive with Care" message displayed on the dash. I limped it into the parking lot and as I tried to back into a parking space the vehicle stalled and put itself in park. Finally was able to get it into a parking space to wait for a tow truck to have it towed back to the dealership. Chevy dealership has informed us that it needs a torque converter and a valve body (03/06/25) and they will create a "SPAC case" with GM as it is still under power train warranty. No eta on parts. Supposed to hear from Hertz on a rental (no more than $45 coverage a day; so likely not going to get a similar vehicle as a rental); no further news as of today 03/07/25. We bought the vehicle less than a month ago and haven't even made the first payment (other than the down payment); looks like that will occur and we won't even have a car to show for it.
