Consumer Description
I do not know if this qualifies as a safety concern, however based on everything I have read, I wanted to report the incident since you have 39 cases already. My 2019 GMC Sierra Denali w 6.2l engine, and 60,000 miles, starting tapping on April 10, 2025. I brought it to the local dealership the following day to diagnose. The dealer reported that they located metal in the oil pan/ filter and said the engine needed to be replaced. After more reading, it seems my truck is one of the vehicles with the 6.2l engine that is failing in countless numbers. In all fairness, I did not crash, the engine did not seize and it did not create a safety hazard in my incident, so i apologize if this reporting is a waste of your time. Now i have been given an invoice for over $10k to replace the engine which is on backorder nationwide I'm told due to the number of engine failures. Obviously it is out of 5 year 60K mile warranty so I have to eat the engine replacement.
