Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
2020 GMC Sierra "Denali" 6.2L engine with only 64,000 all original well maintained at miles -- NO prior issues no unusual sounds or indications of any issues. Vehicle has had timely maintenance regularly. engine lost power and began shuddering severely. Immediately taken to GM certified dealership upon which charged almost $1600.00 for engine analysis. Diagnosis is cylinder # 5 had lifter collapse which in turn ruined the camshaft. Will have to wait 4 weeks for parts and since GM power train warranty (conveniently) only covers first 60,000 miles the total engine rebuild is out of my pocket. Total price $9,741.11. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND GM NEEDS TO REPAIR OR REIMBURSE EVERY SINGLE OWNER THAT EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE IN FULL. I think GM knew about this issues and hopes it will go away but this really pisses me and SHOULD everyone else too.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
At 59000 miles my lifters were rebuilt on the 6.2 liter engine because of a failure in the 1 and 3 piston. Gm paid for the repairs and then At 79000 miles the motor completely blew resulting in complete failure and seizing the motor and heavy metal chips were reportedly found in oil pan. Gm claimed it was a result of me not doing regular oil changes however I suffer from OCD and I am automotive engineer and my oil was changed early in most cases with my truck. Gm will not take responsibility and at the time they wanted $16k to fix my truck. I was going through a very tumultuous divorce and had to pay atty $34k for that wnd could not pay $16k for a new engine resulting in me having to give my truck back to bank and I have not been able to buy a truck or vehicle since then as it ruined my once perfect credit of 820. It’s changed my life forever and GM should take responsibility. I will never buy another GM product again and my father worked for them my whole life and my family only drove their products.

Potential Consequences:
While driving our 2020 Sierra AT4 down the highway at 65 mph, the engine suddenly cut out and started sputtering. Every light came on. We pulled off the highway and had the truck towed. Our highly trusted, family mechanic company diagnosed lifter 5 was twisted and stuck, along with another stuck lifter. The cost to replace the engine was one hundred dollars more than repairing the two lifters. They purchased a new engine through Van Chevrolet and were surprised the cost had recently decreased from $7-8k to $3900, to purchase a rebuilt engine. The engine appeared to be new, with the bolt threads unused. The new engine comes with a 3year 100k mile warranty through the dealership. We called GM, they said since we went to another mechanic they would not speak with us.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
-Transmission valve body Failure, Wheel lock up, ABS Event, Loud Bang and a Flashing "D" on Driver Information Center (DIC) when Lightly or Moderately Accelerating Forcing an 8-7 or 8-6 Downshift -When all four tires lock up at a high rate of speed, this puts the driver, the passengers, and all others on the road at risk for injury or death. -Yes, the problem has been found in a document by my local dealer that this issue was added to my exact vehicle's service manual on 11/27/24. The document describes in detail the exact scenario I have been involved in multiple times. It is deemed as #21-NA-275. It locks up the tires randomly to the vehicle in mid acceleration at any speed including 80 miles per hour in one instance for me. -Yes, the dealership inspected it and found the issue to correlate with the newly added section to the service manual, 13333166. This document ID is 5925530 and the added information to the dealership is #21-NA-275. The GMC manufacturer has been contacted as of 3PM MST 3/14/25. Insurance doesn't deal with mechanical problems. The police will only be involved when there is death or injury. -No. The only warning that happens is simultaneously as the vehicle locks up the tires causing the driver (me) to inevitably try to save myself and others, swerving and trying to focus on not hurting myself or others but I did notice the "D" flash on one of these occasions. This is the most dangerous issue with a vehicle I have ever even considered. At any time, for any reason, all four tires can lock up at any rate of speed and cause multiple casualties. The way to fix this is to spend $3,000 which I am sure many people like myself do not have. This means there are thousands of these exact make and models of vehicles on the road right now. Please do not take this lightly as I have almost crashed multiple times with people in my vehicle due to no fault of my own.
