2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Engine Problems

While driving down the road the engine quit. There were NO indicators of anything wrong. Check engine light was NOT on. It just quit while driving. I didn’t have any notice. I wasn’t even able to get it off of the road. When it did come to a stop. The engine would not restart. I was stranded and had to get a tow. I had it towed to my mechanic and upon inspection, he says it needs a new motor. My truck has ran fine with all the regular maintenance up to this point.

When driving normal speeds to work on a county road, engine light comes on, service light comes on. There was a tapping noise and reduced power. Luckily, there was a sports field parking lot that I could pull into to get out of traffic. We had the truck towed to our house through our roadside assistance program so that we could determine what to do. If we had not been able to pull off the road as quickly as we did, we probably would have been hit by the semi that was barreling behind us. The truck had reduced power.

After helping the person and the ambulance arrived I went back to my truck. when I got in it everything was on but I noticed that it was quite and that’s when I realized the truck was not running anymore. I tried to turn it on and off but nothing happened besides all the dash stuff came on. It had been making a ticking noise but it would go away after a certain speed. After the engine would not turn on I had a friend that is a certified Chevy mechanic take a look and he told me the engine seized. It took 2-3x the torque to crank it over and when he was able to do that he found lots of metal shavings in the oil. I...

Lifter failure while driving on highway. Resulted in an immediate drop in speed taking me from 65 to 30 mph quickly, and having to cross three highway lanes of traffic in order to pull over.

My failure is the same mode as the documented issue, it has to be related to part quality issue as described on N212326940. The GM dealership is charging me $2000 to replace the line.
