2022 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, there was an abnormal bumping sensation coming from the accelerator pedal. Additionally, the contact stated that there was an abnormal bumping sensation while turning the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while driving at slow speeds. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the vehicle was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The contact referenced an unknown recall, with a similar failure; however, the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,500.

The front chrome grill indicated in the recall came off while my wife and I were driving at 70 miles per hour. A big rig was passing in the on coming lane at the time. The part came off striking our front windshield almost causing a wreck and causes emotional trauma. It was a very scary experience. Our local dealer supposedly ordered the part two months or more ago from GM. They told us two days after the failure the part was still not available. I called GM who stayed the part was shipped well over a month and a half ago. Someone isn’t telling the truth. This incident should never have happened to us since it was a known safety recall. It should have been replaced.

Every time I pull the truck into my garage or a parking stall at low speeds while using the front park sensor it will shut off with the automatic start stop while still in motion. Then you have to let off the brake pedal for it to start and sometimes the vehicle will search forward.

I was sitting outside , and then all of a sudden my tailgate on my truck opened upped. And I heard there’s a recall on the latch but apparently it’s not on my truck when I looked it up on Google. It does say some 1500s have the problem. I am very worried that it’s gonna open up in a parking lot on a car or a concrete bumper. Can you please look into this? My truck is going in for service next month and I would like to get it fixed with no charge of course because of the recall. Please call me if you have any questions. [XXX] .

After completion of a recall fix by the dealer for the grill while driving the front grill deflector detached striking the front hood and top of the cab before flying behind my vehicle barely missing a following vehicle and settling alongside the road. I pulled over, inspected the front of my vehicle to assure it was safely drivable. Once I removed loose pieces I returned and retrieved the top grill from the roadside then drove directly to the dealer who completed the recall fix. They have ordered a full grill for replacement. The recall fix/repair failed within day of completion.

Initially experienced hard clunking sound when transmission shifting between 35-40 mph. I took in for service and dealership replaced EGR sensor. The problem was not resolved with this fix. I took the vehicle back for service and the dealership then did a software/system reset. I then drove my truck with towing a trailer to San Diego and upon exiting the freeway, the back tires locked up causing a screeching of the tires which caused my vehicle to swerve. I felt as though this could have caused an accident. Shortly after, the engine light came on and my vehicle went into “limp mode”. A dealership in San Diego then told me that the valve body plate would need to be replaced. According to the internet this seems to be an ongoing issue with this year’s vehicle, yet no recall has been issued by GM. I understand GM has issues a special warranty coverage #N242454441 providing extended warranty for control valve issues. I’ve been told my VIN is not included for this special warranty when it is the exact same issue.

See attached document for complaint. I'm writing to formally express my concern and disappointment regarding the excessive delay in resolving the recall issued for my vehicle. While I understand that safety recalls can involve complex logistics, the prolonged timeframe without any clear resolution has created both an inconvenience and a safety risk for me and other vehicle owners affected by the same issue.

My motor locked up a year ago. Before the recall. At 74k miles. GM stated they did not know why it happened. Although there was 6 of the same trucks in their lot under 20k miles with the same problem. I was forced to pay out of pocket. I notified my GM dealer that my engine was knocking at 15k miles and they did nothing. Now that I have a new engine I have brought it to the dealer 3 times because it is also knocking. They’ve told me they hear it but theirs no code so nothing wrong with it….. GM refused to help me in any way nor will they help me get a reimbursement for their manufacture defective engine that I payed for. I had to take a $10k loan out to get back on the road. Every day that passes I am paying more interest because of GM. They will not even let my bring it in for an inspection and the heavier weight oil (they want me to pay diagnostic fee HA) I don’t want to take legal action but it feels like if I don’t, GM is going to ruin my life. Such a Blatant disregard for the customer. This whole thing has put me in such a terrible financial crisis I’ve been living check to check since this happened. PLEASE HELP ME.

Transmission fail to shift. Have to stop, restart truck to get it to shift causing safety issue. Warning lighted eventually came on.
