What owners wrote
“6.2 gas Engine was knocking and shaking while driving it Engine is currently being replaced , but not finished yet Mechanic thinks some rod bearings are bad and maybe some pushrods No warning lights came on”

“In March of 2025, my engine started knocking and had low power. I took it to a local mechanic and he said it was the classic 6.2L rod knock. I took it to the dealer in Decorah Iowa and they agreed that it was the rod knock from the recall. Since it was not covered under the recall, I had to pay almost $10,000 to have it replaced. It took over 4 months to get an engine and then it was finally replaced.”

“The vehicle began knocking on the freeway and experienced a loss of power. It caused warning lights for the Electronic Traction Control and parking break system to light up.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 30 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
