Example complaints

“The tailgate opened without my knowledge on my first drive home from the dealer. I was pulling my trailer at the time, when I backed into my driveway it pinched against the trailer and damaged the tailgate. There were no warning lights or anything to tell me it came open. The dealer examined it and found nothing wrong with the systems. It was raining on my way home and I know they've had problems with that in the past. While this incident didn't lead to any accident, it very well could have. …”

“I saw the report regarding models of Chevrolet trucks not receiving owners manuals from factory. I purchased a 2026 GMC AT4 in early October 2025. It didn't come with a manual either. I emailed my sales person at Ewing GMC in Plano, Texas informing him that it was missing the manual and I was told that GM had decided to only include physical manuals with Denali grade trucks. This didn't make any sense whatsoever. I would prefer to have a physical manual available to reference in the event of vehicle issues.”

“I had this truck as brand new for approximately 24 hours when it had a major failure. It had 450 miles on it at time of purchase, but was sold as new. While driving at 45MPH it had a check engine light, service power steering message, lost power steering, lane departure system failure, and reduced power amongst several other lights on the dash. I limped the truck into a gas station parking lot. After turning the truck off, it would not restart. I unhooked the battery for a minute and hooked it back up. The truck did restart with no messages or check engine light. …”

“I purchased this new 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 on 07/16/2026. Beginning shortly after delivery, the vehicle began intermittently losing ALL audio, including the audible turn-signal indication. The condition now occurs approximately once every 3–4 vehicle starts/uses. When the failure occurs, there is no audio from the infotainment system, radio, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, or speakers, and there is no audible turn-signal sound. Because the failure also eliminates audible driver feedback from the turn signals, I am concerned this is not simply an entertainment-system issue. …”
