2022 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

Purchase a used 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with a 3.0L diesel at around 42,000 miles. Drove it for about 1,500 miles before I started noticing unusual shifting with the transmission which became more noticeable with time. At around 44,000 miles, the truck had two hard shifts going 35-40 MPH on a flat round and put itself into limp mode. Turned off and on the truck multiple times, the engine light always stayed on but the symptoms would come and go. Either way the truck always went back into limp mode after a few miles. I did a quick scan and it came out with a P0700 and P0746 code. I limped it to the dealer and was told that it was a bad valve body which is apparently on back order with no ETA and they can’t tell me when I will get my truck back.

While driving on streets and freeways the truck will shift hard and then loss of acceleration and into limp mode. Lights all on dash go crazy like brakes, 4WD, fuel gauge and check engine light. It has done it 8 times now and has been in the shop 5 times with same issue. Major safety issue while driving 70 mile hour then governs it at 55-62 mile per hour.

Pulling away from a stop sign when we were driving, and when I started to excelerate the truck it just died. We were at a busy intersection and was able to pull off the road into a parking lot and had AAA come and tow the truck and took it to Poages Auto Plaza, Quincy IL. This could have been really serious had we been on a busier road. We tried to restart the vehical and it would not start. We are going to need a loaner vehical preferrably a Truck.

While driving on [XXX] from Houston to San Antonio the front Grille spontaneously flew off from my hood and hit my windshield. Grille damaged the hood but no known damage to shield. This was very frightening while on a highway because it almost caused me to crash as it triggered my PTSD from the blast and led me to swerve. Fortunately I regained vehicle control and avoided other damage to others. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Multiple times today my tailgate dropped randomly without my knowledge. With the tailgate randomly dropping, and no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms, it puts others at risk due to the potential for the contents of the truck bed to fall out into traffic causing damage or bodily injury to others on the road. During my research on what could cause this to occur, I was made aware of a recall of this same make, model, and year vehicle. The description of the reason for the recall was exactly what I experienced with my vehicle. I immediately attempted to confirm that my vehicle was listed on the recall by entering by VIN online. I discovered that there was not an active recall on my specific vehicle, so I contacted the nearest GMC dealership. After speaking with the service tech, he confirmed that my symptoms was exactly what the dealership had addressed with other vehicles that were on the recall list. He confirmed that my VIN was not included, yet the recall did have the same make, model, and year. I will be making an appointment at my dealership to repair this at my expense since it is not covered on the recall.
