2025 Chevy Silverado 6.2 trouble
At the end of September I bought a new 2024 Silverado with the 6.2L. Loved it, sounded great, had tons of pickup and go and was fully loaded. Right after Christmas it started making a funny noise from the exhaust, almost sounded like the raddle from a small two-stroke. I immediately took it to the dealer and after two weeks of diagnostic with the help of corporate, they determined the bearings on the crankshaft where faulty and the crankshaft had 3x the allowable play, the engine block was damaged and the entire engine would need to be replaced, under warranty of course. Truck was 3 months old with just under 4k miles. What I was hearing, the play on the crankshaft was bad enough to cause the exhaust to rattle. After a week of waiting for them to source a new engine, last Friday they informed me they would be unable to get an engine and that GM would be contacting me to buy back the the truck. This week I was contacted by a department at GM dedicated to buy backs, they said the buy back offer would be in accordance with my states Leman Law. I gave the a bunch of information about the sale and my loan l, awaiting there offer. I also talk to a consumer law lawyer in my area and he also confirmed the buy back would be in accordance with Virginia lemon law. I will update when the buy back is complete, in case anyone else is having problems with there 6.2L. This is the same engine the NHTSA just issued an investigation on.
