2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

My vehicle started rough with rattling and knocking one morning. I contacted my dealer and made an appointment. I received an appointment for about a week out and did not operate the vehicle until that day. Upon bringing the vehicle to the GMC maintenance shop, the vehicle’s engine ceased and had to be towed the remainder of the trip.

My motor seized and shut off while driving 63 mph on a busy highway going up hill. Truck made it to the top of the hill before it shut off and had to coast to a stop on the side of the road. No warning lights or anything. Rpms locked at 3000 and wouldn’t go up or down until the motor shut off. Switched itself to neutral while it was rolling still and wouldn’t allow my to put the truck in park when stopped. Finally locked itself in park and wouldn’t allow to be shifted to neutral. Dealership said the motor seized and ordered a new one but is on back order

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"

While driving on a 55 mp road [XXX] the truck just stopped running. I had just turned from [XXX] onto [XXX] and had not gotten up to speed. I was only traveling at about 25 mph when the truck seized and stopped. No power to control vehicle. No power and no warning prior to no power. Only 18k miles on the truck and it died and wouldn't restart. It sat in the middle of the road and stayed in the middle of the road for an hour waiting on a tow.

Truck just made a year old and killed on me in the middle of road. They are saying I need a new engine and maybe transmission. Could not shift truck into neutral, which left me stranded on busy road. For unsafe and had me nervous. Trying to get GMC to buy me out of this vehicle. Had same problem with 6.2 liter prior to this truck. Engine and transmission was replaced. They promised if I bought new truck, I wouldn’t have the issues and here I am again. This is terrible.

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.

1.During December 2024, noticed the wrap or called grill part at the back of the truck detached 2.On 5th February, got a warning :reduce acceleration with caution, when I pressed gas pedal, could not go faster than 35mph, the truck was shaking really hard. It has been in the dealership waiting for valve body until today 13th March, still no idea when it will be fixed

The reverse lights don’t illuminate camera when you’re in a dark parking lot or area. If and when camera is relied on for reverse, you wouldn’t be able to see a person or anything else. It’s a lighting problem. When you are in an area that is lit (dealer parking lot) you can see fine. I also own a 2014 Chevrolet and camera works fine in dark and lit areas.

DEF tank heater, diesel exhaust fluid heater has failed which causes the truck to go into a reduced speed until fixed. GM has no parts to fix the issue! at my dealer. Currently there is three or four trucks waiting on the exact same part, it puts the truck into reduced power and speed until part is replaced

Engine locked up while driving. I was able to get off the highway. Truck would not crank back up. When trying to start it screens would light up then go black. I had truck towed to nearest GM dealership. The GM dealership informed me that the engine was locked up.
