Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The truck is jumping rpms I've had many mechanics look at it and even switched out parts out. I was told told it could be 4cyl to 8cyl adapting now I'm being told the torque converter is faulty .. The truck gets stuck at a stop light or feels like a hard pull when slowing down and sometimes even makes a clunk noise.”
NHTSA complaint #11400013, filed 2021-03, 10,000 miles“When I take low speed turns, either going forward or backwards, the power steering starts going in and out and the radio will turn off. Sometime the whole vehicle will shut off or just turn off then right back on. The stability track messege pops up on the dash. When this happens my vehicle will reset itself.”
NHTSA complaint #11407232, filed 2021-04, 107,000 miles“Code p2138. Truck goes into limp mode when pedal harness sensor gets wet. (I.e. Driving in heavy rain). Power and transmission reduce speed to less than 45mph. Will not go into any gear higher than 2nd. This happened to me on the interstate at driving at the posted speed limit of 75 MPH. Had to pull over and limp 1 mile to the nearest off ramp creating a dangerous situation. Has been an ongoing issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11403162, filed 2021-03, 137,000 miles“While driving vehicle while turn itself off with no explanation. This has happened multiple times in the last few months. It has increased since I got the last recall done. This is extremely dangerous as it has shut off while I was turning across lanes and died in the middle of the intersection. The truck shuts completely off and has to be restated by turning the key.”
NHTSA complaint #11120777, filed 2018-08, 52,110 miles“Truck began to idle rough and would jerk during taking off and stopping. Check engine light began flashing and stabilitrak light came on. Took it to a mechanic who reported fuel buildup. I was told that the pistons were broken as well. My truck has 88,000 miles on it and GM refuses to fix it even though there are service bulletins pertaining to the engine misfire from fuel buildup because the truck is greater than 5 years old.”
