General Motors is once again under the scrutiny of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and they have opened an investigation into almost a million General Motors vehicles for engine defects. What has happened to General Motors again? We will tell you below.
As we said before, these are vehicles that have the L87 and V8 engines, which equip several models that were produced between 2019 and 2024 (inclusive).
There have been 877,710 General Motors vehicles (specifically the models that work with the L87 and V8 engines) due to engine problems, and it seems that the engines fail randomly, and 39 complaints have been received about problems with the bearings of this (which caused the vehicles to stop working and completely damaged the engine block), so, the results of the NHTSA is that more than 900,000 vehicles will have to go to the dealer for a complete review.
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500
- GMC Sierra
- Chevrolet Tahoe
- GMC Yukon
- Cadillac Escalade
Of course, it will be the company’s responsibility; they will be the ones to cover the costs in case the vehicles they inspect are damaged. At this time, the NHTSA is collecting all the service records in order to determine what the full impact of the problem will be.
Many drivers have reported this problem, and many of them feel fear of driving their cars, can you imagine the fear that you can feel if you are driving and suddenly your car decides just to stop without any warning? The biggest problem around this (moreover than the fact that you can have an important accident on the roads if it catches you off guard) is that many drivers are becoming insecure behind the wheel due to fear of an accident.
