Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I purchased a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2.7 turbo RST from Greg young Chevy in Omaha Nebraska. Upon purchasing this vehicle within 20 days of ownership I got a check engine light indicating code P2090 for exhaust camshaft position sensor. The truck was taken back to the dealership and they at first tried to just clear the code and give the truck back however I put my foot down and requested them to look further into it. After weeks of them having the vehicle they determined there was an issue with the pcv oil separator and they replaced the part allegedly. After reviving the car back they strongly suggested I purchase an extended warranty telling me “you’re going to need it” we purchased the warranty only to discover the code reappearing less than 2,000 miles later and a tic sound in the engine. My independent research has concluded it’s a lifter failure and those lifters are now slamming into my camshaft causing excessive damage. After getting the code read more in depth I can confirm they again just cleared the code and an oil leak is still existent in the engine. This causes the auto stop to disengage which makes the vehicle leech forward when at rest while my foot is still present on the brake as the camshaft does a full rotation to adjust and correct itself to the sensors suggested position. On average this moves the vehicle approximately 1 foot forward and could lead to me damaging my vehicle or causing harm to people in crosswalks.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My break system failed twice in 2 weeks. On Feb 01, 2025 around 5:35 pm, I almost ran over a dog the first time because I lost access to breaks and emergency breaks and could not stop going through my neighborhood. Today on Feb 13, 2025, I had picked my son up from school, and the breaks went out after we left the school. This time I almost ran into a car but had to turn off to the right to avoid hitting it. My son and I could have injured the person driving in front of us and ourselves. I looked up the problem, and it seems that many others have faced the same problem. When I turned off the truck for 10 minutes, the system would reset itself and start working normally again. I took the truck to the shop, and it is currently there so they can run tests on it. I recorded what it looks like on the dash when I lose all braking.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The engine is blown. Our GM Dealership where we purchased it, inspected it and says the engine cannot be repaired and must be replaced. And independent garage gave the same diagnosis. Went from running fine one day , to bucking and stalling in traffic causing a hazard to everyone on the road. Check engine light, check brakes, stabilitrak, ALL the lights on the dash were on like a Christmas tree. It doesn't run now. Currently sitting in our driveway now unable to be driven for three months as we don't have $10,000.00 for a new engine, and the extended warranty we purchased through the dealership expired 4 months before it blew up. We are now making loan payments on a GM vehicle that did not even last the length of the loan. Seeing a report on this exact issue, we did not even know until today that there was a place we could send in a complaint to. You are welcome to inspect the truck, but you would need to come to us, as it cannot be driven. Where can we get any help with this? Please help.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
After driving and doing errands I tried to pull truck into garage and noticed it was hard to move. It seemed like brakes were stuck on despite not applying brakes. I pulled out of driveway to drive around block. Lost all brakes while driving down county road at 50 mph. Check engine light on, brake failure warning on, warning light that speed limited to 43 mph, ABS light on. Eventually able to stop. Turned off engine for a few minutes. Restarted and brakes all worked again although check engine light still on. This could have been deadly on a steep road or on ice or in traffic. I see online that this is a common problem with Chevy trucks although no recall has been issued for this one. I am very concerned that this truck is not safe - for me or anyone else on the road with me. I have not taken it in. I live in the country, some distance from a dealership so nothing has been confirmed. Nothing like this has happened to this truck before and there was no other warning. It is available for inspection but is my only transportation.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On January 17, 2025, I was approaching the entrance ramp unto Interstate 10, traveling along at approximately 40 miles an hour, when all of a sudden I noticed that my vehicle started decelerating as I was pressing on the accelerator, trying to merge onto oncoming traffic. The engine started shuttering and vibrating violently! I noticed all the warning lights, gauges and indicators had come on simultaneously! There was a loud clicking sound coming from the engine compartment and backfiring coming from the exhaust. I evaluate the situation at hand and conduct a risk assessment of trying to continue on with this problem but decided to move over to the median. I was almost run into from the rear due to lack of power in which I felt would have been the result of my truck just losing power without any warning. I drove my truck to a Chevrolet dealership after speaking with a Service Advisor, on January 20, 2025. The Truck was diagnosed as needing to replace Cam Rod and Lifters.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
At roughly 146,590~ miles the truck began making a knocking noise while driving at any speed, complainant had the truck towed to independent shop and was evaluated. Was told by shop that the engine can shaft pitted and engine metal shards had exploded and shattered throughout the engine. Making the opportunity for engine stalling or risk of fire/ smoking while operating the vehicle extremely likely. Complainant was told there was no access to engine replacements or parts at this time and the wait time to receive one was 4-6 months. No warning lights ever went off. Engine was eventually replaced entirely when the part became available by an independent service dealer.
