GM's Broken 6.2L V8s Are Stranding Owners for Weeks as Replacement Engine Pipeline Dries Up

The situation has left dealers struggling to source new engines and owners with no clear repair timelines, and it's especially dire for people who need their trucks for work.

See Inside a New Cadillac Escalade's 6.2L V8 Engine That Failed After 4 Miles

As GM struggles to manage a surge in 6.2L V8 failures, an engine shop in Utah pulled apart an example that failed after just four miles of driving.

Nope. The only issue I ever had with Chevy was a 2500 Z71 I never get extended warranty but did in this for some reason and the transmission went out at 63,000. Of course this was after GM lowered the warranty on transmission from 100K to 60 so I was lucky.

Supposedly there was a lot of similar issues wa cross the board at 65-70k with transmissions but not sure.

It’s no fun hopefully they get it rectified
 
Not a GM product, but my Toyota Tundra has a check engine light on that the dealer’s Master Techs can’t figure out. They have had my truck for over two weeks so far, not counting previous trips. The newer vehicles are just too complicated with way too many failure modes!
 
no, but doesn't surprise me about lack of replacement engines on GM's part for a shoddy design and build..


when i was younger, and before i got into trucking, i spent time as a service advisor/tech at 3 GM dealerships, when the dumbasses used a gasoline engine converted over to diesels...

too many cars came in on the "hook" with holes blown thru the hoods, and cylinder heads peeled open, sticking up thru that huge hole.....

or how about the chey chevette transmissions being mated up to V-8 engines....????

dumbass GM deserves to go under.

Toyota is not any better with some of thier engines self destructing due to poor quality control..

or Hyundai/Kia for thier engines self destructing under 100,000 miles, some under 10,000 miles.

I had what I called a "ghost" check engine light that my garage & I couldn't figure out until we determined the catalytic converter was worn out.

Once that was replaces the light problem went away, and my truck ran better.

most vehicles have a 10 year / 100,000 warranty on emissions parts, which includes spark plugs, EVAP control parts, and catalytic converters.

if a vehicle has CA emissions, (which many states sell those vehicles) that warranty is 15 years/150,000 miles.

check the owners manual..

Toyota's California Emissions Warranty covers emissions components for a certain number of years or miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also covers repairs and adjustments to pass a California Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test.

Coverage
  • Performance and defect: Covers all emissions components for 15 years or 150,000 miles

  • I/M test failure: Covers diagnosis, repair, replacement, or adjustment of parts needed to pass the I/M test for 3 years or 50,000 miles

  • Evaporative Control System: Covers specific components for 14 years or 150,000 miles for certain 1996–1998 model year vehicles
 
My last GM product was a new 94 GMC Suburban with the 6.5 diesel. 35 k miles the injector pump failed (under warranty). 33 k miles later (out of warranty) it did Again on my nickel. A touch over $2k in 1997 $$. THAT one failed on the 25 mile drive home🙄. Towed back and replaced Again. A bit of study revealed that they were notorious for eating injection pumps every 36k miles or so. My got swapped for a 7.3 Powerstroke at 93 k miles.

Not only does my engine sound like all the rods are loose, it makes a loud whistlin noise when let off the go pedal.

at one time, on some vehicles, that was the "diverter valve", in an emissions air pump. that might also be some sort of vacuum noise, from a cracked vacuum hose, or servo?

i dunno, been years since i wrenched. i don't miss diagnosing things automotive anymore

What year Tundra?

The tech needs to clear the code then take the truck on a test drive while recording data, keep driving until the CELL comes on and he should have an answer pretty quick.
