I have had an incident where my 2023 GMC 3500 hd was had left me stranded earler this week. I towed the new truck to a certified dealer and I haven't heard anything since then. They mentioned my transmission will need to be fully replaced because valve body issues of solenoid a,e,f, are stuck open and closed codes on the 10 speed transmission upon researching my trucks history it was manufactured in 2022 and pulled out for sale October 2022 and I have seen. 242454441 special recall the same issues I experienced shudder and engine power reduced and no parking gear or driving. I need help and didnt have any warning of anything about this till now since it was showing my vehicle only had a tailgate issue which GMC didnt help me out when I had to pay for my taillight after firewood flew out with the tailgate opening in Jan 2023 they said it wasnt a known issue then fixed the tailgate but not the taillight so I need help proving my truck belongs with the 242454441 class of recalls because not only does the transmission the exact same as previous models obviously 1000s of others are getting this issue thank you.
The control arm bearing appears to have failed without warning causing loss of steering control. This occurred at low speed on a street in [xxx] last night near a gas station, so the driver was able to drive to a safe location easily without risk to life. Had the failure happened at speed a possibly fatal collision would have been likely. The vehicle has been used for the past 8 months to drive to work and has not been subject to any stress. It has not been modified. The tow truck driver said he has seen a number of other control arm failures recently, not necessarily in the same vehicle type. It may be due to bad pot holes this year in [xxx] , they are bigger and deeper than normal. This information is based on assessment by tow truck driver last night. Vehicle is at jim shorkey in murrysville for repairs information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Since new there is a violent vibration in the steering wheel and floor boards. Steering wheel oscillates side to side at speed from 38mph to very bad at 65mph. Dealer has had it 5 times and still cant fix it. They state the front hub extensions are out of round and have tried 3 sets without any success. This truck is not safe to drive as it will put your hands to sleep due to the vibration. Also it will cause premature system component failure. The gm forum and duramax forum is showing many cases nation wide with this symptom. Also there is no provision with the current 18 inch wheel to index concentrically with the mating hubs on all four wheel locations this is mainly affection the dually wheel denali or high-country vehicles.
I bought this truck in the dealer they put tires smaller than what it requires and a tire exploded in the freeway, those who help the traffic explained to me that the tire was small for the size of the truck, the same thing they told me in the tire places (clegg auto sale - 1485 n main st spanish fork utah ).
Front tires are continually wearing on the front outside edge. Wearing until bald in first 15000 miles of ownership, multiple front end alignment calibration tests and actual front end calibration not resolving issue. Front tires replaced at approximately 23,000 miles and again wearing on outside edge at 40,000 miles. Worse on driver side. Contacted dealer several times for resolution and contacted gm twice to open ticket. Last gm ticket was 8-4030406653. Tires are michelin and are supposed to last 65,000 miles. Never seen this type of wear on any past gm vehicle owned. Rear tires are in excellent condition. Unable to get dealer or gm to find cause and resolve once and for all. Tired of paying out of pocket alignment costs. The front tires are on the second set and the current vehicle mileage is 42k. I have attached images of front driver side tire which has greatest wear and image 20180328_113012. Jpg is the original back tires which have no wear. Front are the second set since purchasing vehicle. Original set was completely bald on outside edge before 19k miles.
Bad tires all way around. And the other company trucks I use has bad brakes and a lot of other usdot inspection would fail. I am certified dot driver and I am scared this company is putting company profits above human life.
