The body has rust coming through on the lower body panels by the rear doors of a crew cab. Have to replace the AC condenser on a 2015 gmc Denali. Looks like GMC already knows there is an issues with this, but no recall on the 6.2L sierra denalis.

Vehicle has a history of hard shifting and jumping forward under certain conditions. In April 2019, while on the highway traveling about 65 mph, the vehicle slipped out of gear and do no longer be driven. No warnings were displayed prior to the incident. The dealer replaced the torque converter and repaired a broken transmission shaft under warranty. Hard shifting and jumping continued to occur, but the vehicle went without incident for another 4 years. Yesterday, 5/8/2023, the transmission went out again while driving around 35 mph. Vehicle is currently at dealer. My research has shown there is a class action lawsuit in 26 States for transmission issues for GMC vehicles between 2015-2019. NHTSA needs to take action and issue a recall. Losing a transmission while driving is dangerous.

Truck loses power engine dies while driving after turning at slow speeds. Engine will restart after a few minutes like it never happened does not show any DTC codes or check engine lights.

SERVICE TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM NOTICE CONTINUES TO POP UP ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING.

The electrical system has intermittent issues with connection to the battery due to the location of the ground connection from the battery. The ground connection is screwed into the under carriage (near wheel well front passenger side) and left exposed to the elements. Grit and grime build-up over time caused an interference with the connection. The safety issue is the vehicle lost power without warning and while driving causing the vehicle inoperable, including no power steering. Other symptoms include stabiltrak and park assist errors displayed while A/C & radio resets during intermittent power connectivity. Cleaning the ground connection wires & screw solved the immediate issue. This video explains it all, including where the issue is located and how I was able to fix the issue to restore power: https://youtu.be/KrSJJUUo9FU
