NHTSA Complaint #11647094 — 2023 GMC SIERRA 1500

I left my house & was driving my truck down the highway for about 2.5 miles. All of a sudden the engine locked up & the battery went dead. I barely coasted off the opposite side of the road where the closest side road is & a semi pasted shortly after. I felt very lucky my truck made it off on the side road instead being run over by the semi truck. I then had to call a weaker & have it towed to the local dealership that services GMC trucks. After 4 days I finally got the worst news, the truck needs a new 6.2 engine. My 2023 GMC Sierra AT4 with 38k miles had an engine that locked up & I was flabbergasted. I started searching this issue on the internet & couldn’t believe how common this is & nothing has been done about this. I would assume a recall from GM would be appropriate considering the sheer number of 6.2 liters engines having issues over & over. This is absolutely unacceptable. I could have been seriously injured or even worse killed by the negligence of GM on this issue. I get it, GM made a mistake with this 6.2 engine and it’s going to cost a lot of money but my research tells me this appears to have been happening for a few years. As I sit here today my truck is sitting in a dealer lot with a busted engine & a new one is on backorder. I am currently driving a dealer “loaner” Chevy trailerblazer. It could be weeks or months before I finally get word on another 6.2 engine replacement from GM. I own a small farm and do not have a truck to haul hay or feed for horses. Can the National highway administration please help me? I thought I was buying a dependable 2023 GMC sierra 1500 AT4 & instead bought a lemon. Apparently hundreds of thousands of other 6.2 liter engines like mine are a HUGE safety hazard & should be recalled. This seems like an open & shut case & after reading into the matter I can’t believe Gov. organizations like the National Highway safety administration has not did more and let GMs 6.2 liter engine contine on. What’s left to investigate?
