Which Chevrolet model years name P0300

Source: NHTSA manufacturer communications and complaints

A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is P0300 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 1,367 manufacturer filings and 30 owner reports naming P0300 on 145 Chevrolet model years (2016–2026). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Chevrolet models does P0300 appear on most?

2018 Equinox (34 documents), 2019 Equinox (27 documents), 2021 Silverado (26 documents).

Does P0300 on a Chevrolet mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
