NHTSA 6.2L Motor Failure Inquiry

[securityguy]

I think my next truck may be another 2500HD with the gasser versus the DMAX. A lot can happen between now and the fall of 2026 when the 2027s start coming out.

I have my DFM arriving tomorrow, and around 750 miles on it. I will change the break in oil next week. (Looking at what everyone has said about it). I like the royal purple, so I’ll use that and not take it to the miles it say you could take it too. Cross my fingers and say the things to all the gods and maybe I’ll get lucky. Lmao

Love these cold starts now that it's cooler here in Vegas. They rumble the walls and turn heads in parking lots

I keep thinking I'm going to give someone a heart attack in my parking garage.

870,000 on the road and if you believe the internet they all blew up at 3k miles. ignore the internet and ask your service manager if implosion is imminent. diesels are king in my country and he'll assure you the 6.2 has less problems.

for the 7,000th time yes there are problems, and most are because of the DFM and poor lubrication and can be prevented. I said MOST. you can do something about both of those problems so if you refuse you have 2 options. dump it and buy something else or admit you just love to cry.

Should you have to buy a chip and use better oil? no. but you do. life isn't fair but you can up your odds if you're smart about it.

8k on mine now and zero issues so far. I'd jump in and take off for anywhere I'm not going to hide under the bed because the internet scares me.

Life certainly isn’t fair, agreed. All of them have problems, it’s a pick your poison and I don’t fault anyone for picking what they want to deal with.

i do admire your vigor in pointing to diesels being problematic and that somehow justifies or lessons these issues

Thats an intellectually lazy response. Go read the posts on Reddit across the entire fleet of Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac brands, it's abysmal. If that's not enough go on YouTube, go on Facebook and any forum. The documentation is there and it will be, in part, the basis for which GM responds through remedy and hopefully better standards going forth.

I own three new Chevrolet rigs the last two years and paid approximately $254,000 cash. They have a combined 40k miles, which is low. I've been to the dealer more with these 3 rigs than all the others combined since purchasing my first new Chevrolet in 1987. Plagued with countless recalls, false codes, bad software/electronics, poor quality trim and paint, etc.

While I haven't had a catastrophic failure yet and have likely done more maintenance than most owners following manufacturer guiedlines, it doesn't make me any less pissed about a multi billion dollar company putting out record Financials and delivering shitty products to consumers.

Every Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac owner in America should be pissed and blowing up this quality control issue with these cunts running this racket at GM. If you're complicit, you're part of the fucking problem. I wanna drive Chevrolets, but I don't want to spend $100k for a POS and that's where we're at!

I thought all us farmboys knew "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". What do your's get, a new bearing?

We just can't let this bullshit slide. If i ran my business like this I'd never have another client. I'd be broke as hell. They get away with it cause there's too few options and too many barriers to entry.

GM hasn't been a car manufacturer for a couple decades. They are a pension and insurance fund. They have to sell cars at inflated prices and lower quality to meet the obligations of their past sins. I'm not sure it's even recoverable at this point. I'm just shouting into the ether!
