ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I purchased my 2022 GMC SIERRA XLT in February of 2022. I have had it in the shop 4 times for recalls. They couldn’t or didn't put an inspection sticker on the truck because I honestly don’t think it could have passed inspection. The truck sounds like a truck on Transformer when I turn it off breaking town like a robot. On yesterday which was 1/27/2025 while backing up to turn around the truck started dragging in the back like the breaks locking up, the same thing happened while turning into my driveway off a state highway with an 18 wheeler coming. GMC can’t look at the truck until February 10! This Truck was purchased new and it’s been nothing but trouble. Electrical system goes in and out Steering assist reduced drive with care, Engine power reduced, park assist on then off and truck making unusual noise. I waited 13 YEARS to finally get another brand new vehicle and this what I ended up with. My last new vehicle was a 2004 Honda Pilot. I had 459,000 miles on the truck no engine or transmission issues. I donated the truck to Goodwill. Therefore, I hope GMC understands my frustration when my daughter’s 2019 Kia Optima is out performing my 2022 GMC XLT truck. The back breaks are dragging and locking up, it appears the gears are getting stuck and I can’t back the truck up or go in reverse without the struck staying stuck, then jerking vigorously and problems with the wheel turning to the right the truck get stuck or stall!

Additional Notes:
While traveling on the highway the engine shut off. No warning, noises or lights where on before. Check engine light came on when the engine shut off. Was able to get off the road on to the shoulder. This was an huge safety concern as I had no way to move the truck. After getting the vehicle to the dealer it was a spun rod bearing. Had 7000 miles on it at the time. Dealer replaced the the parts and had the truck back after three weeks. Metal is oil pan. 1, 2 and 8 rod bearing spun scoring on main bearing and crankshaft. There was no issues with the truck prior. I bought it new.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was on a hunting trip when my almost brand-new GMC Sierra 6.2L broke down, approximately 20,000 miles on it. The vehicle started making a ticking noise while I was driving out of state, en route to our lodge. Early the next morning the engine light came out and the vehicle came to rest close to a stop sign. I was very fortunate someone was following me in a different vehicle. The vehicle would not start afterward and had to be towed to the closest dealership. Being a new GMC owner and nearly 7 hours away from home and in an unknown area was extremely stressful. The dealership service department was closed on Saturday (the date of the incident) and Sunday. The dealership was less than helpful and did not return my phone calls on an already stressful day. My trip ended on Sunday and I was forced to rent a car at Enterprise. Unfortunately, the Enterprise I contacted did not have a truck and GMC told me that the dealership could not provide a loaner truck. I’ve needed a truck several times this month, which has caused difficulties for me and others. The vehicle has since been inspected and the service department stated the vehicle needed a new engine. This occurred 21 days ago and there is no end in sight. The service department could not tell me an exact date on when the engine would be shipped to their store.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While driving, I was starting to move following being stopped at a stop light and the truck experienced a complete engine seizure. I had it towed to the dealership I purchased the vehicle at and after a day or two, they indicated that GM's recommended fix to this particular issue was a complete engine replacement. The engine replacement couldn't be scheduled in a reasonable time. Grant it that the repair would have been covered under warranty and they would provide me a rental until such time it could be fixed, I decided to trade the vehicle in on an equivalent 2024 model (same truck 2 years newer) after being assured that it was an isolated incident and not part of a systemic problem. I only am writing this since I read an article the other day indicating that the NHTSA was launching a potential investigation into the same issue based on 39 complaints, at that time, regarding the GMC's 6.2L V8 small block engine. I wanted to let your organization know of my issue as well since I would assume that there are far more than 39 people/owners that had experience this problem. At a minimum, I make 40. In addition, I am now concerned about my 2024 GMC since it has the same motor in it. The article mentioned that there has not been injuries associated with the engine seizure. This is not surprising to me. It actually happened twice in my 2022; the first time in my driveway and another on the road. Note, after sitting for a couple of days in my driveway, it had started right up. I went for a ride to test it out and that is when the final instance happened. Both instances occurred when the auto off feature was engaged and only seized when trying to move from the auto "off" position back onto the "on" (engine running) position so I was not moving in either instance. Again, I am not concerned that this issue will arise in my new vehicle.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2022 6.2l V8 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate engine failed while driving 50mph on the highway. It had 18,000 miles on the odometer. The transmission locked itself in neutral while vehicle was in motion. There were no warning lights on the dash. When the vehicle came to a complete stop, the transmission locked itself in park. When I tried to shift into drive, the dash stated, "Conditions Not Correct For Shift" and stayed in park. I was stuck in the fast lane during rush hour with no options other than to wait for a tow and hope another vehicle does not ram into me from behind. My truck was towed to a local dealership and they found metal shards in the oil and said I require an engine replacement. This happened on 12/18/2024. On 1/22/2025 the vehicle is still at the dealership waiting for a new engine.
