Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I bought this new vehicle from Diamond Chevrolet in Auburn, MA, in November 2024. The truck currently has approximately 10,000 miles on it. On two separate and distinct instances, the truck suffered a complete loss of power steering while driving on the highway. In both instances, the issue persisted until I turned the vehicle off. Numerous warning indicators were illuminated on the dashboard (Service Power Steering, Drive with Care, Service ESC, etc). A loss of power steering is a significant safety defect, and it was hard to steer the truck at lower speeds. The dealership and General Motors were able to replicate the issue and replace the entire power steering rack during the first instance of power steering loss. Currently, the vehicle is still being diagnosed by the dealership and General Motors for the current yet similar issue. The issue is intermittent but poses a significant public safety risk to the consumer and general motoring public.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

As I was driving down the feeder road of a major highway, the light (press brake to start engine) came on. I was traveling around 55 miles per hour. I pressed the brake and pressed the start button but nothing happened. At this point I was coasting as the engine had died. The radio and electrical system were fully operational. I tried restarting the engine several times while coasting along the busy feeder road. I finally pulled into the right side lane (there was no shoulder) and applied the brakes. Once fully stopped, I was not able to start the engine. I called my GMC dealer for the name of a tow truck. The tow was able to pick up my truck about 45 minutes later. I am still waiting on a new engine from GMC with no time update from my dealer. This incident happened on 03/03/2025.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Driving on the highway, moving to pass another vehicle, engine shut off forcing me to coast to the shoulder. No warnings and didn't notice loss of power until I saw that the vehicle had been shifted into neutral. Had 2 kids in the truck and could not get GMC service department on the phone, had to walk up an onramp in order to get my kids home with me in an Uber. This is a 2024 6.2L GMC with only 13,000 miles. Service department took over a week to check initial issues, said it was a fuse block which they replaced. Did not resolve the issue, then it was the starter, which did not resolve the issue, after 2 weeks they told me the engine was locked up due to internal failure and it will be several months before the truck is operable. GM has stated they the issue needs to occur 4 times before a buyback would be considered.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

On the morning of March 12, 2025, I started experiencing a ticking sound from the engine bay under throttle. I suspected lifter failure and decided to proceed to the dealership that afternoon for repairs. During my commute, the engine started squealing and shuddering and I experienced a severe loss of acceleration which made it almost unsafe to drive on the highway. Upon coming to a stop in traffic, the engine died. I was able to get it restarted and proceeded to continue my trek to the dealership. Upon another traffic stop, the engine died again, at which point I made the decision to exit the highway and continue my journey along the service road. Twice more the engine died when coming to a stop and the 4th time it struggled to restart. I finally decided to pull into a parking lot and as I was backing into a parking space, the engine died its final time and would not crank/turn over. To make matters more difficult, the transmission would not even shift out of "PARK" into "NEUTRAL" for it to be laoded onto a tow truck. Each time I tried to shift out of "PARK" I received a message stating "Conditions for shift not met"

Defect Description:

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

While driving I experienced a loss of forward momentum, and watched the RPMs go up to 3000, wording came on the dash, but I was in traffic and wasn't able to read. I was able to reach next light about 1/4 mile, and stopped. Mad a left turn and within 200 feet, same issue. I pulled over and called OnStar. Towed to dealer. Dealer put on lift right away, as it was just in for 1st service on Saturday, with 4775 miles. Dealer informed me of a bulletin out for removing transmission pan, and splitting plates to check a ball size for 6th gear, which they found during the computer diagnostic checks. They claim to have a part tomorrow, and will install soon after.
