in October of 2019 we bought a brand new Chevy Silverado with a 6.2 engine fully loaded with all the options it wasn't $80,000 truck. I also purchased the extended warranty for 7 years along with paint warranty and interior warranty. we spent extra money having it rubberized undercoated oil sprayed and had a bunch of other aftermarket features put on like Chrome bars tanno cover bug chip shield. at 30,000 miles we start a noticing an engine noise and we took a two two different dealerships. I told him it sounds like a rod knock on startup and then gets quiet. they told us there was nothing wrong with it that was normal noise. by 60,000 miles we started getting extensive oil loss and took it to the dealers I kept complaining about as much as 3 to 4 quarts of oil loss between oil changes. they told us it was normal for a certain amount of oil loss between oil changes and I complain not that much. by 70,000 miles they had us keeping logs of the oil loss and I kept telling him the engine noise was getting worse and we heard it all the time now. they kept telling us they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I told him I didn't want to lose the engine while we still had the hundred thousand mile warranty on it. but they did nothing. the vehicle finally clocked over 100,000 miles with continuing oil loss and then the front seal blew and they replaced the seal. the new seal didn't resolve the oil loss problem and it still leaks oil out the front seal and I asked the mechanic could the main bearing be bad causing all these problems that we've been having. he told me he's saw nothing wrong with the main bearing but the engine noise continued and the oil loss continued. 2 weeks after we had the front seal replaced the engine completely failed. snapping off the camshaft and losing all compression. the dealers tells us that well the warranty is over so you're out of luck. but I feel it should apply because we first complained at 30,000 miles and I feel that not only is the dealer responsible the factory's responsible. can anybody give me input on this and why hasn't GM included the 2019 models because they have some of the same exact issues one of them is main bearing going bad leading to complete engine failure
 
All I can say is that sucks. And sorry, I don’t have any idea why GM isn’t covering the 2019 model year. It seems to me they should.
 
Allen I’m sorry to hear about all the crap you’ve had to deal with.

GM has lost all credibility in how they treat their customers. Here’s an article where GM tries to explain why the ‘19 & ‘20 production year vehicles have no justification for the recall. I think their recall inspection and oil swap/change is total 🐂 💩. My 2020 Silverado’s 6.2 is about to hit 70k and I haven’t had any issues yet, knocking on 🪵!
