Most recently, as yesterday i had my car in for the braking system. The dealership called me and said my truck was fixed. As i turned my truck on, the brake system light came on.

    I have had the 2019 sierra 1500 at4 with 6.2 liter engine in the shop (8) times since purchasing it in late aug 2019 for multiple issues, including the issues relating to the brake software recall. This resulted in me rolling through a stop sign without any brakes. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic. As an engineer, i have no confidence that the issue has been fixed long term by gm. My family will no longer ride…

    On april 21st a pressurized line leading from the engine to the engine cooler failed and the engine suffered rapid oil loss leading to engine failure. This appears to be a frequent issue with 2019 sierras and silverados (the new body style): https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/[redacted]-silverado-trailboss-53l-engine-oil-cooler-line-failure/ the truck was moving at approximately 35mph on a straight surface…

    While driving down road, sudden message of "no oil pressure, turn off engine immediately". Was able to pull over with no power (luckily it was safe to do so at the time). Left a large puddle of oil underneath the front of the vehicle. Also, left large cloud of smoke from oil splashing on hot components underneath vehicle (exhaust, etc...) behind me. Vehicle was undriveable and had to be towed. Large oil leak was the…
