Suspension problem #1

The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle rolled over a bump in the highway, and the message to "slow down" was displayed on the instrument cluster. The contact heard an abnormal metal-on-metal sound coming from the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the supports for the differential and the rear axles had been improperly attached and had become loose. The contact had asked the dealer if the repair could be covered under warranty, and was advised that the repairs were not covered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

The vehicle was towed from the scene and deemed total loss by the insurance company. The contact stated that the ball joint, hub bearing, and 4x4 drive shaft was damaged.

Suspension problem #3

Purchased 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 pro 2/28/2024 with 6 miles on it. Drove vehicle home (20 miles). Picked up and dropped off grand daughter from school. Proceeded to my mom's house and took her for a ride then came home. Next afternoon went to take out garbage and noticed puddle by passenger rear tire. Got under truck and found shock to be completely wet. Called dealer and made appointment to bring truck in next morning. Brought truck in next day and dealer confirmed that shock was blown. Shock is not in stock but was ordered. Currently waiting for delivery to set up appointment to replace shock (only the one that is blown of course). Truck now has 108 miles. 60 of those miles are driving from, back to and back home from the dealer. Now it sits with cardboard under it and once repaired, I have the bonus of scrubbing multiple oil slicks off of my driveway. Glad I wasn't towing or carrying a payload. . .
