“My vehicle is listed as not being affected by any current recalls. When I purchased my vehicle in December 2025, it did not have an Owner's Manual in the glovebox, which I found concerning. Why do I not qualify to receive something as important as the owner's manual under that current recall regarding that safety issue?”

“At 150 miles on the odemeter the tpm light came on I pulled off the highway, got out and checked all 4 tires. Not noticing any issues I got back on the highway and turned on the stereo. The speakers sounded like they were blown apart. Static and the sound of muffled vibrations. I drove to my intended destination and turned off the truck. After finishing my business at this location I started the truck and the tpm light was not iluminated. This is a hige safty issue. …”

“On October 17, 2026, approximately two minutes after driving smoke started to fill the cabin. It appeared to be coming from behind the rear seat area. I pulled over and could not find the source of the smoke so I drove back home and shut the truck off in my driveway. Almost immediately after shutting the truck off the rear glass on either side of the middle sliding window shattered, but stayed in place. The middle sliding window did not shatter. I then called Chevrolet road side service and the vehicle was towed to a dealership.”

“I bought the truck at 6,400 miles. I was on my way to the dealership because of a clanking sound I heard the day I brought it home. It was at 7,007 miles when it went down. I had it for a total of 5 days. I was coming from a stop when it suddenly lurched and I heard rattling and clanging noises. It had been making noises around 6500 miles that were most likely drivetrain related. Luckily, I was on a side road when the engine locked up. No warning lights. Had the truck towed to the dealership. They said the engine needs to be replaced. Still no delivery date given.”

I called gmc and asked about product defect, was told thats not the case.I ordered a new antenna 4-12 26 gmc has none in stock which leads me to belie ve this is an ongoing problem. Gmc says this is not covered by warranty. This is going to be a 600= dollar exspence for me. …”
