1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/13/2025

The gm n242454440 “collision rear wheel lock up from transmission valve failure” was performed. The recall rendered the electrical charging system inoperable. Gm engineering has been working on the vehicle for more than one month and recently determined that the recall software does not work properly with all vehicles. My truck is being returned to me without the recall being performed. Accordingly the safety hazard associated with rear wheel lockup has not been addressed and cannot be addressed at this time. Presumably gm will develop software in the future to address the safety condition. Meanwhile the safety hazard remains unaddressed for my vehicle and an unknown number others. Reference riverview Chevrolet GMC repair order 894074.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2025

• what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the issue appears to be with the gear shifter assembly and/or park position sensor within the power train system. The vehicle fails to detect that it is in “park,” even when the gear lever is physically in the park position. Yes, the vehicle and component are available for inspection upon request. ? • how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? this malfunction prevents the vehicle from shutting off properly and displays a “shift to park” message even when parked. This creates a risk of the vehicle rolling away if the parking brake is not engaged and prevents secure shutdown, potentially draining the battery or creating confusion in an emergency. It compromises both driver and public safety. ? • has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, the issue was reproduced and acknowledged by a certified GMC dealership service department. They noted it is a known issue affecting other gm vehicles but stated there is no open recall or warranty extension currently available for my specific model. ? • has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? the vehicle has only been inspected by a GMC-certified dealership. No inspection has been conducted by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. ? • were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? yes, a “shift to park” message appears on the dash even when the shifter is correctly placed in the park position. This message began appearing intermittently and has now become a consistent issue over the past few weeks.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2024

Encountering trailer brake issue where the brakes on our 5th wheel do not activate via the GMC trailer brake control module. Have just had it replaced and still experiencing the same issue where it posts an alert on the screen multiple times and does not activate brakes on trailer. This is a widely known issue with GMC trucks and the trailer brake that has been outstanding for over 3 years now and is a safety issue as there doesn't appear to be a fix from any dealerships or GMC. GMC has not taking adequate accountability for this issue. I'm looking at putting together a class action lawsuit with several other customers having the same issue. We are fed up with the inaction and falsely advertised towing package as we are unable to safely tow anything with their trucks.

4 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2024

While driving the truck began switching between towing, normal, and off-road driving modes. Lights were flickering and various messages were being displayed on the dash cluster screen. After parking truck and shutting it off all of the lights were flickering and I was unable to start the truck. Charging the batteries did nothing nor was I able to jumpstart the truck with another diesel. After repairs for these issues, at some point the odometer reset and while likely not certain it reset to zero. Gm has no way of knowing when it reset and how many miles were driven between leaving the dealership and the reset leaving me with a truck set to the best guess mileage. I am being told this was a software bug and having experienced another software bug when I had the recall to enable seat warmers where the keyfobs would not work in any way I have serious concerns about the quality and safety of the software on these trucks.

Failure Date: 11/20/2022

Various warning lights are coming on sincve I purchased this vehicle, such as abs, engine power reduced, oil changing service, service engine light, service trailer brake system, wheel tracking, service esc, passing gear cuts out.
