While driving, I was starting to move following being stopped at a stop light and the truck experienced a complete engine seizure. I had it towed to the dealership I purchased the vehicle at and after a day or two, they indicated that GM’s recommended fix to this particular issue was a complete engine replacement. The engine replacement couldn’t be scheduled in a reasonable time. Grant it that the repair would have been covered under warranty and they would provide me a rental until such time it could be fixed, I decided to trade the vehicle in on an equivalent 2024 model (same truck 2 years newer) after being assured that it was an isolated incident and not part of a systemic problem. I only am writing this since I read an article the other day indicating that the NHTSA was launching a potential investigation into the same issue based on 39 complaints, at that time, regarding the GMC’s 6.2L V8 small block engine. I wanted to let your organization know of my issue as well since I would assume that there are far more than 39 people/owners that had experience this problem. At a minimum, I make 40. In addition, I am now concerned about my 2024 GMC since it has the same motor in it. The article mentioned that there has not been injuries associated with the engine seizure. This is not surprising to me. It actually happened twice in my 2022; the first time in my driveway and another on the road. Note, after sitting for a couple of days in my driveway, it had started right up. I went for a ride to test it out and that is when the final instance happened. Both instances occurred when the auto off feature was engaged and only seized when trying to move from the auto ‘off’ position back onto the ‘on’ (engine running) position so I was not moving in either instance. Again, I am not concerned that this issue will arise in my new vehicle.
