Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Duramax ticking noise. Consistent tempo ticking noise coming from engine bay. Audible only when moving at low speeds due to increased vehicle/road noise at higher speeds. Not consistent with RPM or speed. No warning lights or symptoms at this time. Dealer says not common, but appears common on the internet. Cannot find source of noise. Truck has 18k miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11091384, filed 2018-05, 18,000 miles“The dash has cracked in 2 places, and this poses a safety risk of shrapnel should the airbags deploy. I understand this is a common problem with this and related models. Gmc should replace the dash.”
NHTSA complaint #11083568, filed 2018-04, 95,000 miles“Service Trailer Brake System warning will not stop dinging and alerting. this happens constantly with or without a trailer . I dismiss the alert and it continues to sound off. I have trouble thinking or talking. Very Very distracting. Took my vehicle to the dealer and they did not know how to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #11606297, filed 2024-08“I auto started my truck. We jumped in and I put the key in to start and turned down the heater and pushed the rear defroster off and the passenger side rear window blows up like a shot gun blast. It shaders into a million pieces. Our 2 year old in a car seat right in front of it rear facing. If I was driving with the amount of noise it produced I could of crashed. I see there is a bandage recall but not for the hundred of thousand of the 2014/2020 for back windows just blow out.”
NHTSA complaint #11443490, filed 2021-12“The radio in my truck acts on its own (buttons push by themselves). The problem is known and I’m fine with turning my radio off instead of paying a lot of money for a new one. I’ve been fine with it until recently. First problem I’ve let go for a while now which is that it turns on by itself while driving which is a distraction. But biggest problem now is not only did the radio turn on by itself but it also went into the backseat reminder and turned it off. I do have an infant and I hope to never forget. But when paying for a vehicle this is a feature you pay for. …”
