CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 2026 ENGINE
lowTruck has less than 1800 miles. Was at a stop light and the vehicle started shaking and making metal tin rattling sounds. Stopped for gas, started the vehicle all noises went away. Got onto the freeway and about 1 mile down the road the truck lost power at 70 MPH. I slowed down and the vehicle continued to lose power. I put my flashers on and started to pull over and the truck died, all dash lights went black and the truck was off. I rolled to a stop and parked the truck. Called a tow truck. The vehicle wouldnât start. It turned over at first and then nothing. I was not able to shift the vehicle into neutral. The tow truck asked me to assist while we Dragged the entire truck into the flat bed trailer. Dealer called late after noon the next day. Saying the motor was seized and had to be replaced entirely. The service technician said this has been happening to the 2021-2024 6.2L engines as well and theyâve seen plenty of them. They recalled those a used a band aid fix of replacing the oil with heavier weight and a new drain plug. He said itâs not working and all those trucks are having the same issues. He said, this was not his first 2026 motor seized in a 6.2L. Heâs had another one recently low mileage that seized also. I asked for a different motor. I was told not to worry we will give you a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. The truck was $100,000! And now they only want to warranty it for the same 3 years, just higher mileage⦠The motor is on back order and no telling when Iâll get my truck back. This is my 3rd Silverado and my 2017 is still going strong with 100,000 miles on it. They have a serious consumer issue on their hands and should be buying these trucks back as we will not be able to rely on the new motors. Some people have had 3 and 4 motors replaced for the 2021-2024, 6.2L engines.

lowThere is an incredible reliance on navigation and communication while driving. This and many other vehicles have intermittent disconnects to CarPlay This causes inattentive decisions while attempting to reconnect. I have personally had two trips to dealership with no resolution numerous photos showing loss of communication with vehicles main information center.
