Starter Problems of GMC Sierra 1500

[xxx], I purchased a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 from faulkner Chevrolet in bethlehem, PA. I test drove the vehicle before purchase and it showed no indication of any mechanical issues that I was able to detect. I was shown by the dealership the carfax and was informed that there are currently no recalls for the vehicle. I was led to believe that the vehicle was in good condition and safe to drive and, therefore, agreed to purchase the vehicle for the aforementioned price (including tax and title fees). I purchased the vehicle with 60,077 miles on it, and after driving it normally for only 5 days (on [xxx]) it broke down and I was stranded on the highway 16 hours from home. I was able to get the vehicle towed and paid $1,200 for the starter to be replaced, which is what the mechanic suggested but this ended up being entirely unnecessary as the real issue was due to a catastrophic defect in the engine. After the starter was replaced, I was driving the vehicle only a few days later (on [xxx]) and it suffered a catastrophic engine failure while driving 70mph on the highway. I lost control of the vehicle and nearly got in a collision with another vehicle. I was able to get the vehicle to the nearest auto shop and after inspecting the vehicle they informed me that there is a serious engine issue relating to a seized bearing and the engine will need to be rebuilt entirely. At this point it had been only 12 days since the purchase and the odemeter read 61,662 (1,585 miles driven since purchase). Due to the faulty vehicle, I was forced to pay to have the vehicle shipped from the location where it broke down to the dealership where I originally bought it (around $1,200). Faulkner Chevrolet knowingly sold me an unsafe vehicle that they were well aware had a defective 6. 2l v8 engine. This defect is currently under investigation by the NHTSA and faulkner Chevrolet purposefully ommitted this crucial information until after the vehicle was sold. Clearly, this is an unethical bus information redacted pursuant to the freedom of inform.

November 5, 2014: turn key and symptom of a dead battery. Starter clicks once. No lights will work at all. Took battery out, charged it overnight, and had it tested. Test reveals battery is good (should start vehicle) but weak (needs a charge). Put battery back in, connected it, put key in, turned it, and vehicle started easily. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Nov. 15, 2014: turn key but, electrical system is completely dead. Then, take key out for five minutes, put back in, and starts right up like nothing wrong.

It started with the fuel gauge fluctuating between full and empty with a full tank of gas and the abs and brake light on dash lighting up for apparently no reason. Then it started giving me trouble starting and making a weird whining noise. I checked all the fluid levels and fuses, everything was ok. I was at the camp(middle of nowhere) at night when I noticed that there were sparks coming from around the area of the starter when my husband tried to start it. (it just happened to be dark and I was sitting with a view of the right wheel well) I checked the wires and found what might have been a break in the insulation, taped it and the sparks quit. Had no choice but to drive it home the next day as there was no phone service. Started right up , and drove fine, except for the low whinny noise that no one could pinpoint. I was almost home when the transmission started to slip. I brought it to our mechanic who replaced the transmission but none of us can figure out what the devil is causing the electrical problems. Before the transmission went out the tow/ haul button didn't do any thing, now the light actually comes on-when it feels like it,but I can't get it to go off. The gas gauge is still acting nuts and the abs and brake light still come and go. Please post instructions for troubleshooting this thing!.
