While driving I get a reduced acceleration warning on my dash cluster, drastically reducing horse power. My check engine light came on. This has happened before. I checked the code and it was a P1098 code. After researching I found out it was the Engine coolant control valve. My fan is constantly running. This issue is ongoing. This seems to be a common occurrence with my vehicle year.

My GM Dealership completed the GM 6.2 Engine Inspection and recommended Oil Replacement as part of the 6.2 Engine Recall. Roughly 5,000 miles after this service, the engine failed. I attempted to accelerate from 45-65 miles per hour while getting on the highway, and the engine seized up. I was able to coast/steer the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle's starter could not crank the engine. I had the vehicle towed to the shop where the dealership confirmed the engine had seized.

Dealer diagnosis indicates the front camera must be replaced and recalibrated in order to restore cruise control and safety systems.

54k miles. Crankshaft failure. Truck shut off and put in neutral while driving with no codes on dash. Got a text saying to service engine and transmission immediately. On a side note, it is bullshit that you can't put the truck in neutral to get it off the road. The dealership is also doing a great job covering it and offering a loaner.

I purchased my vehicle in June 2025. In January of 2026 the vehicle would sometimes shut down at red lights, requiring me to restart. No engine codes would pop up. On Jan. 16th, 2026, I exited my vehicle and heard a “cow bell clunking” coming from the engine area. I scheduled a service, and I was informed that the issue was part of the GM recall for 6.2L engines. This concerned me, because my vehicle had already had the “remedy” for the recall (changing engine oil type) prior to me purch
