STEERING
Potential Consequences:
An error pops on the dash that says steering assist is reduced-drive with care, and the thermostat gauge does not work, nor does the air conditioner and the vehicle fan under the hood is extremely loud. This has been happening intermittently since September 2024. Basic research on the Internet is showing many people have the same issue with these vehicles. Further research suggests possible vehicle computer system issues. I don't know why there isn't a recall already.

While i was driving a code came on my dashboard that read "Steering assist is reduced drive with care". Soon after my check engine light came on. I pulled over not knowing what was happening. I took it to the garage to have it looked at and the mechanic stated that there are over 1000 gmc customers with this same issue and that the thermostat is stuck open. Which may cause major malfunction or even blow the engine. I looked up recalls for my vehicle and there are none but gmc issued a recall on other vehicles for this same issue. How do I get help here?

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Power steering system fails intermittently. Power steering goes and comes back on without warning, causing the driver to oversteer the vehicle. Mechanic performed software update, which did not fix the problem and told me the power steering module needs to be replaced, which would be over $1,000 for the part, plus labor and re-alignment. Additionally, the replacement power steering module is not currently available - it is on backorder.

Transmission Control Value issues. I was driving my car and RPM spiked up high and I coasted and there was no acceleration the rear wheel tires locked up and I felt a jerk. Placed the vehicle in park and pulled hand gear shifter into Drive and the vehicle shifted back into park by itself. Same thing happened on placing the vehicle in reverse. Like the car had a mindset of its own. Luckily I was only going 20 miles per hour this could have been a fatality. This vehicle is not on the recall list. It should be because they use all the same parts.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The electrical, engine, and A/C systems failed. First our A/C stopped blowing cold. A warning light came up and said that driver assist was not working properly, and temperature gauge went all the way down to cold and did not move after that. It appears 3 things were malfunctioning. I was afraid to drive it for fear of burning up the engine due to an engine cooling malfunction and the car overheating. The A/C stopped blowing cold air but was still blowing warm air. The steering system alert was on the dash but wasn't an issue. I called OnStar to diagnose the problem and they initially said they didn't see a problem but based on what I described it would be best to have it towed. I later got an email that an issue was detected, code P0128. I called my dealership and they also said to have it towed so they could check it. We were not in a position to have the car towed and for it to sit in the service department for 5 days (that was what their queue backup was like then). I took the car to a nearby shop to have it checked. Because I was afraid to drive it we I got it there by disconnecting the battery. A/C was blowing cold like Arctic air and the temperature gauge went back to normal. We got it to the shop (a few miles away) and they could not duplicate the issue due to the battery disconnection "fix". They said the car would be temporarily functioning per usual but the problem will come back again soon and to bring it back when it happens. It happened 2 weeks later (2 hours from home/stuck in traffic). We found an auto parts store and bought a wrench to disconnect the battery again to get home and all was good once we did that "fix" again. We have a service appointment to have it repaired. Two quotes I got were for $1600 and $2200. Temperature sensors/thermostats were suspected to be the cause of the issue. The auto shop stated they frequently see this issue (P0128) with GMC vehicles in recent years, even when they are only a few years old. Ours is 4 years.

A/C was blowing cold like Arctic air and the temperature gauge went back to normal. We got it to the shop (a few miles away) and they could not duplicate the issue due to the battery disconnection "fix". They said the car would be temporarily functioning per usual but the problem will come back again soon and to bring it back when it happens. It happened 2 weeks later (2 hours from home/stuck in traffic). We found an auto parts store and bought a wrench to disconnect the battery again to get home and all was good once we did that "fix" again. We have a service appointment to have it repaired. Two quotes I got were for $1600 and $2200. Temperature sensors/thermostats were suspected to be the cause of the issue. The auto shop stated they frequently see this issue (P0128) with GMC vehicles in recent years, even when they are only a few years old. Ours is 4 years.
Additional Notes:
The electrical, engine, and A/C systems failed. First our A/C stopped blowing cold. A warning light came up and said that driver assist was not working properly, and temperature gauge went all the way down to cold and did not move after that. It appears 3 things were malfunctioning. I was afraid to drive it for fear of burning up the engine due to an engine cooling malfunction and the car overheating. The A/C stopped blowing cold air but was still blowing warm air. The steering system alert was on the dash but wasn't an issue. I called OnStar to diagnose the problem and they initially said they didn't see a problem but based on what I described it would be best to have it towed. I later got an email that an issue was detected, code P0128. I called my dealership and they also said to have it towed so they could check it. We were not in a position to have the car towed and for it to sit in the service department for 5 days (that was what their queue backup was like then). I took the car to a nearby shop to have it checked. Because I was afraid to drive it we I got it there by disconnecting the battery.
