Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.

What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.

Owners filed 4,192 complaints with NHTSA about the 2019–2025 GMC Sierra 1500, and 882 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.

39% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 5 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.

The most-reported areas are the engine (32.7% of complaints, typically around 46,000 miles), the transmission and driveline (14.9% of complaints, typically around 40,000 miles), the electrical system (10.5% of complaints, typically around 10,000 miles).

23 recall campaigns cover this generation.

If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.

How many miles does a 2019–2025 GMC Sierra 1500 last?

Half of the failure reports on the 2019–2025 GMC Sierra 1500 were filed by 22,000 miles and 90% by 96,000 miles — figures drawn from 882 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.

Before you buy a 2019–2025 Sierra 1500: the 3-minute check

Generated from 882 mileage-tagged complaints, 23 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 23 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
  2. Ask for electrical system repair records. This area fails at a median of 10,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
  3. Ask for problems owners could not categorise repair records. This area fails at a median of 7,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
  4. Check engine on 2021–2024 (6.2L L87) cars. 6.2L L87 V8 connecting rod and crankshaft bearing failure. Manufacturing defects — sediment embedded on connecting rods and contamination in crankshaft oil galleries — overload the bearings, causing knock, seizure and…
  5. Check engine on 2019–2024 cars. Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) lifter failure on the 5.3L L84 and 6.2L L87, the successor mechanism to the earlier AFM lifter problem — collapsed lifter, dead cylinder, camshaft lobe damage.
  6. Check transmission on 2019–2022 cars. 10L80 ten-speed harsh shifting, clunk and torque converter shudder; 8L90 shudder complaints continue on 8-speed trucks.
  7. Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
  8. End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.

For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 39% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.

On inspection, the engine and the transmission and driveline are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The transmission and driveline in particular shows a median failure mileage of 40,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.

None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when

Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 21,735 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.

The engine accounts for 32.7% of complaints (1,371 reports, 176 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 46,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 15,000 and 81,000 miles.

A single system taking 32.7% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.

The transmission and driveline accounts for 14.9% of complaints (624 reports, 113 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 40,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 9,000 and 80,000 miles.

The electrical system accounts for 10.5% of complaints (440 reports, 102 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 10,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 1,500 and 44,000 miles.

Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 6.8% of complaints (284 reports, 23 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 7,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 100 and 12,000 miles.

Body structure accounts for 5.5% of complaints (232 reports, 29 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 22,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 5,000 and 40,000 miles.

The brakes account for 5.5% of complaints (230 reports, 94 of them with a mileage figure), and they fail early — a median of 7,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,500 and 13,000 miles.

Differences between model years

Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2019 model year drew the most — 886 complaints — while 2025 drew the fewest at 147. The median year sits at 660.

Recalls and what they cover

NHTSA records 23 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.

The campaigns cluster around the tyres (4), the transmission and driveline (3), the hydraulic brake circuit (3). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.

Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.

Documented problems

Engine 2021–2024 (6.2L L87)

6.2L L87 V8 connecting rod and crankshaft bearing failure. Manufacturing defects — sediment embedded on connecting rods and contamination in crankshaft oil galleries — overload the bearings, causing knock, seizure and in some cases a connecting rod breach through the block, with sudden loss of propulsion. GM recalled roughly 600,000 US vehicles in April 2025 covering 2021-2024 Sierra 1500, Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade; NHTSA's investigation scoped as many as 877,710 vehicles. Remedy is inspection, then either engine replacement or an oil filter change plus a switch from 0W-20 to eight quarts of 0W-40 synthetic. MY2025 vehicles are excluded.

Engine 2019–2024

Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) lifter failure on the 5.3L L84 and 6.2L L87, the successor mechanism to the earlier AFM lifter problem — collapsed lifter, dead cylinder, camshaft lobe damage.

Transmission 2019–2022

10L80 ten-speed harsh shifting, clunk and torque converter shudder; 8L90 shudder complaints continue on 8-speed trucks.
