Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I live in oregon, my truck that I purchased from a private owner from utah in june of 2019 had 37,300 miles today's date march 1 2020 my truck has 39,100 miles. A couple of days ago I changed to my oregon license plate. While under the truck I noticed a lot of rust on many parts of the brakes, suspension and frame especially when I lowered the spare tire which showed severe rust damage. This truck has an extreme amount of rust for a vehicle built in 2017. I consider this to be a safety hazard especially because drivers use this type of truck to haul or tow heavy loads.”
NHTSA complaint #11315453, filed 2020-03, 39,100 miles“The vehicle exhibits vibrations that can be rather extreme at times. It seems to be most noticeable in the 70-75 MPH range but can sometimes be felt at other speeds. It feels like the vibration originates from the rear of the vehicle. Two dealerships have replaced multiple parts and have performed numerous alignments and road force balances but can not identify/remedy the problem. There are thousands of complaints on multiple online forums of this same issue for 2014-2015 GM 1500 series pickup truck. So far there has been no fix for them either. …”
