Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have several DTC codes u029d u029e p0420 p220b on three occasions. These code are triggering a limited speed and possible power reduction. The dealer ship states that gmc protocol is to replace one sensor at a time and let the customer go so they can breakdown again. The part that is failing I am told is the diesel particulate filter, but gmc can not supply the dealerships with the high demand. This seems like a faulty design that may work during the warranty period, but shorty fails after. I did report exhaust smell in the truck while driving . …”
NHTSA complaint #11282684, filed 2019-11, 99,985 miles“On october 21, 2014 the entire fuse panel melted down and caught fire. The truck had stopped running. The hood was able to be raised and the fire was put out with fire extinguisher. The truck was towed to the dealership where it was purchased. Gm has taken no responsibility in the repair of this vehicle. My insurance company has agreed to pay the repair bill. The claim 048186-gb has been sent to GM for repayment. I strongly feel that this is a manufacturing defect by GM. …”
NHTSA complaint #10660762, filed 2014-11, 5,487 miles“The TCM malfunctioned. After being replaced the vehicle still didn't perform as it did before the repair. I have researched this issue with all Chevrolet trucks from various years. There are multiple blogs from owners of these trucks that show the extent of the issue. I cannot afford to pay $ 1000.00 to fix a problem that GM knows that has existed for years. This is a serious problem if you are driving and the truck looses power; especially when you're going down hill traveling at a high rate of speed and your transmission doesn't function properly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11115631, filed 2018-08, 98,700 miles“While driving the vehicle the check engine light comes on, the stabilitrak light comes on and the vehicle shuts off. Within seconds the engine restarts. The most common occurrence is when traveling on bumpy roads. When this happens at freeway speeds, the same will happen, and the cruise control will disconnect, and cannot be reset until around 30 minutes. Again, the engine will die and immediately restart. This is happening much more frequently lately. The vehicle has approximately 95,000 miles on the odometer.”
