Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The in cab brake controller does not work with electric over hydraulic trailer brakes. In my research to diagnose and fix the problem I find out GMC has known about this for years and has done nothing to correct. I pulled code C1114 and GMC issued a bulletin for part number (K58-036-00) which I purchased and still did not correct this issue. In short there are many 3500 trucks out there running with no trailer brakes. Here is the worst of this problem. If brakes are tested at a stop they appear to work perfectly however once driving this is when the error code is delivered to the truck so the brakes work at a stop when not needed and do not work under driving when they are needed. GMC has ignored this for years and after spending more of my hard earned money for a fix that did not fix the problem. Below I had to choose a date however this has been an issue since first purchase December 5th 2023 to present.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Hello, I purchased my 2024 GMC 3500 AT4 Seirra late October 2023. Since the purchase date, I have been informed by motorist while at intersections my tailgate was down. I thought I was doing something wrong. On 3/3/2024 I was preparing to wash my truck and noticed my front amber lights were on surrounding my headlights. the vehicle was off, and my keys were in the house. Then my tailgate opener activated on at least 10 - 12 times. The tonneau cover is tight so the tailgate can need assistance opening. Nevertheless, the tailgate has opened on a number of occasions and my two front amber lights came on at least once. I reported this to my dealership on [XXX]. they said my truck has not been recalled yet but to watch this and if it progresses to call them. I noticed a small dent in the top rail of the tailgate on [XXX]. I have yet to put anything in the bed of the truck or even install a hitch in the receiver. I believe the tailgate had to be bumped when it was down by another vehicle, and this is absolutely related to the tailgate malfunction. since I haven't used the bed of the truck. Moreover, I feel GMC should be held responsible for the repair or replacement of my tailgate. Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

The vehicle has had steering and alignment issues since the day I purchased the truck. The steering wheel is not centered. The steering wheel is always turned to the left but the vehicle pulls to the right. I have had it at my local dealership five times and they have confirmed what I have described but they are not able to fix the issue fully. They have rotated the tires 3 times and have aligned it all five times. The vehicle will be good for about 100 miles and will go out of alignment again. The dealership explained to me that they are experiencing this with all 2024 Chevy and GMC heavy duty trucks. The vehicle is very difficult to keep straight especially at higher speeds on the interstate. I am part of a 2024 Chevy and GMC owners facebook page and hundreds of consumers are complaining of the same issue.
