I was driving down the road and I got a warning to "Turn off vehicle immediately no oil pressure". There is a GM customer satisfaction program number N212326940 that addresses the same issue I had for the same year (2019 Chevy Silverado) but when the dealership pulled up the VIN it did not show up. I then called the ( GM) number on the bottom of that bulletin and they said the same thing the dealership said. They then told me to contact NHTSA because you are the ones that issues that, and see how to get my vehicle added.

I was driving on the highway at a speed of around 65 miles an hour and I heard a loud noise and the truck did a hard jerk and slowed down abruptly I then had to struggle to get over to the shoulder as cars around me were moving at high speeds then I found out that it was the lifters that failed and I started doing research on this problem and it seems to be a problem that a lot of people are having with these trucks as well as transmission issues which I was having before this happened
I bought a this car and the car started giving me issues, Engine wasn-??t working properly, brakes were not working well, they gave me problem even I thought maybe the need to be changed, the suspension was off in a way that I feel uncomfortable driving the car and besides that, has electrical problems sometimes the radio and the panel went off out of nowhere and the car just have 40,000 miles.
I was driving on I85 North north of Atlanta merging off of I285 East in the second to the left hand lane when a light came on the dash saying "low oil pressure". I looked at the oil pressure gauge and it was at zero and there was black smoke from the back of the vehicle from oil hitting the exhaust. There was absolutely no indication of any issue at any time. I was able to coast into the emergency lane and get it shut off. Had I not been able to get pulled off the side of the road, it could have been disastrous as the vehicle had no power and I could have easily lost control and caused a multi vehicle accident. I had the vehicle towed to the closest Chevy dealership and have been informed that the oil cooler line completely separated and will cost $1,400 to repair. After receiving the diagnosis, I did a quick Google search and found that this is a fairly common issue, specifically with 2019 5.3L Chevy Silverados and should be, in my opinion, a safety recall.
The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered and stalled with black smoke coming from the exhaust. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local independent dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced.

Oil coolant line detached from the crimp. GM customer satisfaction program N212326940 is exactly what has happened and GM states it is not associated to my VIN so they can't (won't) do anything about it, even though the bulletin clearly indicates 2019 Silverado 1500 (new model). This occured as I was on the interstate. I pulled over as soon as the warning came up telling me to turn the vehicle off. I had to wait on the side of the interstate for several hours for a tow to a local mechanic shop. The mechanic diagnosed the issue and took photos and described the issue in writing. Prior to the incident there was no vehicle warning light that there was an issue, nor did I receive a letter warning of the issue. This catastrophic failure of the coolant line ejected oil, coating the undercarriage and passenger running board. The program bulletin states: Condition: Certain 2019 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (New Model) and GMC Sierra 1500 (New Model) vehicles, may have a condition in which the engine oil cooler (EOC) lines may leak and detach from the crimp joints. Exposure to cold temperature may also aggravate this condition. If the EOC lines leak, there may be an oil leak on the ground and if the EOC lines detach while operating the vehicle, there will be an immediate decrease in oil pressure. This will coincide with a warning on the driver information center display (-??Oil Pressure Low Turn Vehicle Off-??), along with warning chimes. If the customer continues to operate the vehicle, a loss of propulsion is possible. Correction: Dealers are to replace the engine oil cooler lines, oil, oil filter and refill the coolant.

vehicle's cam shaft failed resulting in major engine damage and costly repairs, vehicle less than 100k miles, same issue as recent GM recall, but this was not included in recall
Our company work truck was traveling on a major highway going around 60-70 mph and high revved, then shut off. Our driver was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. When he got out, he saw that the truck had dumped a large amount of liquid. Come to find out this was oil from the oil cooling lines, and our engine has now locked up. We took it to the local Chevy/GMC dealer, where they quoted up 17K to fix the truck.

I am writing to express my concern regarding a serious issue with my 2019 Chevy Silverado. Recently, while driving on the highway, I experienced a sudden loss of power. After diagnosing the issue, I was informed that my engine now requires a full replacement. This comes shortly after I had the camshaft replaced. My truck has only 80,000+ miles on it, which I believe is well below what should be expected for such a major failure. I have maintained the vehicle according to recommended service schedules and was surprised by this issue. Chevy has quoted me approximately $15,000 for the engine replacement, which is an extraordinary expense given the mileage and service history of the vehicle. I am seeking assistance in resolving this matter, as I believe this type of failure should not occur under normal conditions with such low mileage. Please let me know what steps can be taken or if there is any warranty or goodwill support available. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
