2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 reports

ENGINE

I parked truck in driveway and an hour later it would not start. It was towed to 87 Garage where they installed new starter. Mechanic called and said starter was not problem, then engine seized. Need a new engine. This could be catastrophic if it seized while driving. GM tells me take to dealer an pay diagnostic fee to help. I’ve read a recall maybe coming issue by NHTSA after GM hands over all of these reports on 13 November 2026. My engine seized 31 October 2026. I’m waiting for new engine replacement cost estimated 15-20,000.00 from 87 Garage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, VIN [XXX], with 137,640 miles, experienced repeated Battery Saver warnings, severe charging voltage fluctuations dropping as low as 9 volts, and intermittent reductions in engine power and RPM while driving. Upon inspecting the alternator, I discovered severe overheating at the positive battery cable (B+) connection. The plastic insulation surrounding the alternator terminal had melted away, and the charging cable insulation was brittle and heat-damaged. I have photographs documenting the damage. I reviewed GM safety recall N192273510 (NHTSA 19V888), which describes loose alternator B+ connections causing intermittent electrical failures, arcing, overheating, possible engine stalling, and fire hazards. The symptoms and physical damage described in this recall closely match what occurred on my vehicle. However, both Chevrolet and NHTSA indicate that my VIN is not included in the recall. I contacted GM Customer Assistance and received case number [XXX] after requesting escalation. GM advised that my case would not become active until a dealership inspected the vehicle. A Chevrolet dealership quoted $1,345 to replace the alternator and positive charging cable without physically inspecting the truck. Towing and diagnostic expenses are estimated at an additional $400. I am concerned that other 2019 Silverado vehicles excluded from recall 19V888 may experience the same potentially dangerous electrical failure. I request that NHTSA investigate whether the existing recall population should be expanded to include additional affected vehicles. The vehicle has not been repaired, and the damaged components remain available for inspection. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The pickup was being driven in a parking lot when all the warning lights came on. Oil was found under pickup and it would no longer start. It was towed to nearest GM dealer where they informed that engine had seized and needed to be replaced. Pickup has been traded for a different vehicle so I no longer own this pickup.

While operating at cruising speed of about 50 MPH, I passed a slower-moving vehicle and experienced a catastrophic failure of the motor. I was able to limp the vehicle a short distance to a local dealership where I was informed that the motor needed to be replaced at 128K miles. I was further advised that this is a long-standing issue with this motor (L87 6.2L) related to the fuel management system. While I was going over the quote for motor replacement ($9,143.18), a similar vehicle with a 5.3L motor was being worked on for the same issue. This forced me to obtain a loan and extended the amount of time that it will now take me to pay the vehicle off.

2019 Silverado 1500 6.2L, #3 lifter/cylinder collapsed while just getting up to highway speed on [XXX] near [XXX], Wagonmound NM, on Saturday, [XXX]; heard a LOUD bang, followed by message center stating stabilizer control was turned off, followed by FLASHING check engine light. We were towing “dry” Northwood 17k Nash, with our three dogs. As soon as we realized the truck was in the danger zone, we pulled over as quickly as possible. Both truck and trailer had to be towed 40 mi south to Las Vegas NM. The driver dropped our trailer at a local RV park and dropped our Silverado at Las Vegas Diesel Repair. We had to leave the truck in Las Vegas as having it hauled to Longmont Colorado, where we live, would have been too expensive. It’s been seven weeks; getting a new, rebuilt, deleted Jasper engine was my only choice. We stayed through the weekend, had to rent a UHAUL box truck to get home, as car rental was not a one-way option; this cost $500 and the tow was $600, insurance reimbursed $400. We were stranded on [XXX], with three dogs for well over an hour, so dangerous for us. I feel fortunate that the truck didn’t start on fire due to the fact that raw fuel was dumping into the catalytic converter due to the lifter collapsing into the CAM shaft. AS I HAVE COME TO LEARN, GM IS PROFOUNDLY AWARE OF THE LIFTER PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL OF MY TRUCK AND HAS MORBIDLY FAILED TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THIS PRESENTS. IT’s my understanding that there is a class action lawsuit against GM in the works and I WILL be in on that action. We’re talking 100’s of 1000’s owners that are unaware of the danger their vehicle presents…I didn’t know and I researched recalls on my truck BEFORE I bought it used with 92,000 miles a couple of years ago. It has approximately 123,000 on the engine that’s being replaced to the tune of $15,000~.

My 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 has only 61k miles on it. While driving at expressway speed I can feel a vibration, when at a stop and slowly accelerating it feels like driving on a rubble strip and then while going through the gears it has hard/harsh shifting! I have taken it to my local GM dealership in [XXX] and they are going to do a transmission flush and new fluid but I am worried that the problem may be worse than just bad fluid at this point, more like worn clutch plates, etc.? If this does not fix the problem my extended warranty end at 80k miles and I will be stuck with a truck that has a major transmission problem! No trans should go at 60k miles! Why isn't there a recall on the 1500 8 speed transmission for these chevy Trucks? I understand there are many Technical Service Bulletins issued by GM for the transmission issues but no recall. This should be looked into with all the complaints filed for their transmission issues! Hopefully GM will be forced to do the right thing and issue a recall.

I was driving my truck on a clear sunny day and the alarms started to go off and it said I had no oil pressure, so I pulled off the road quickly and turned it off. I called a wrecker service and they took it to the dealership where I live and they told me the oil cooler line had ruptured and it locked up my motor. I had to replace it with a new motor. Upon further investigation I found there was service bulletin out for 2019 Silverados for the oil cooler line rupturing. I was never notified of the problem.

Out of specs crankshaft machining, excessive journaling chamfering & debri in the oil galleries have caused rod bearing failure resulting in total engine seizure. This is consistent with the NHTSA 25V-274 recall, of which identifies the 6.2L V8-L87 engine as defective, resulting in 12 recorded accidents. However, this recall does not cover the 2019 model year.

My head, my transmission in my Silverado 1500 6 speed has had rough shifting since I bought it had 29,000 miles on it. It also has been looked at for the rough and they said it was normal now at 100,000 miles by train ships out of gear while driving and coming to an idle at random spots, took it into a train shop Westland transmission. They said I need all new transmission which I think this should've been fixed a long time ago with the rough shifting the recall and lawsuit needs to add the six speed trans to the eight speed intense speed that GM is officially getting served on.

V8Component Affected: Electrical System / Power Train (Transmission) / Engine Cooling & WiringDescription of the Safety Defect and Incident:While operating the vehicle, severe electrical degradation occurred due to a catastrophic failure of the factory body-to-chassis grounding system. Upon professional inspection by a certified mechanic, it was discovered that the primary ground wires had suffered extreme thermal degradation, with the mechanic stating that the wiring components "almost melted in his hands" upon physical touch.Because the vehicle's manufacturing-defective ground strap severely corroded and failed, the high-amperage electrical current redirected itself along an unintended path of least resistance: directly through the transmission shifting cables and internal wiring harnesses. This extreme electrical bypass caused extensive thermal damage, melted critical electrical insulation, and permanently fried the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and internal transmission components, causing total mechanical failure.Why this is a Critical Safety Hazard:Fire & Thermal Risk: The failure created an active thermal event under the hood. Electrical current reaching temperatures high enough to melt heavy-duty wiring harnesses poses an immediate vehicle fire risk while operating or parked.Sudden Loss of Propulsion: The electrical short directly compromises transmission communication, risking an uncommanded shift into neutral or total loss of motive power while driving at highway speeds, creating a severe crash hazard.Manufacturer Action / Request for Investigation:General Motors recently issued Customer Satisfaction Program #N252515590 specifically to address this exact "body-to-chassis ground strap corrosion" defect on 2019–2024 Silverados.

Came off the parkway and came to a stop at a stop sign. As I attempted to accelerate forward the truck shuttered violently, did not move forward and then slammed into gear. As it slammed into gear it jerked forward. The force of the jerk pushed me back in the seat and caused the steering wheel to turn. About 100 yards later I came to a stop in traffic. As I attempted to accelerate the same incident occurred again. After the second incident anytime I same to a stop and attempted to accelerate forward the shutter was no longer present but the truck would not move at first and would then slam into gear and jerk violently. This would occur in drive and reverse. I brought it to the dealership and they diagnosed that it needed a transmission. The service writer even told me it bucked so hard while the technician was moving it that it almost put him through the steering wheel. The truck is currently having the transmission replaced at Greenbrook GMC. Estimated repair cost is $9400 plus taxes and fees. Can provide invoice and bill once repair is completed.

AFM causing engine tick. I am reporting a radiator failure on my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 equipped with the 6.2L V8. The vehicle developed an active coolant leak from the radiator assembly. The coolant reservoir level dropped significantly after normal driving, and coolant was visibly leaking and collecting underneath the vehicle. The truck initially began running warmer than normal, approximately 215–220°F, before the leak was fully identified. After topping the system with the correct DEX-COOL coolant, the coolant level continued to drop and an external leak became clearly visible. The vehicle was subsequently parked to avoid engine overheating or further damage. The original radiator carries GM part number 84152439. I have since been advised that the current GM replacement radiator is part number 85575815. I was also informed by GM dealership personnel that radiator failures involving this application are currently being investigated. My concern is that a sudden radiator failure can result in rapid coolant loss and overheating, potentially causing engine damage or vehicle disablement while driving. This is particularly concerning because the temperature gauge may initially remain near normal even while coolant is being lost. I am requesting that NHTSA review radiator failures on 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models, particularly vehicles equipped with the 6.2L engine and heavy-duty/enhanced cooling package, to determine whether there is a pattern of premature radiator cracking, tank/seam failure, or other coolant-loss defects that warrant a safety investigation, service campaign, or recall.
