engine was replaced by Classic GMC in Katy/Houston, TX in dec 2025 under L87 recall. My wife was driving and was stopped on an off-ramp but still in the traffic lane. It started with a light knock that i thought i heard the day before, but then died on freeway within maybe 15 miles of her driving. Unknown if it knocked louder, but wife says she never heard anything until it died and check engine light came on and engine would not restart. Required tow to GMC dealer. They diagnosed and took 2-3 weeks to source and replace the engine. In july 2026, started hearing very similar noise - this time apparently the water pump seized. Heard noise and got home within about 10 miles. Checked under hood and drive belt was significantly frayed and knocking/metallic noise was intense. Towed to Classic GMC. Not covered under any warranty - my replacement engine did not include a new pump. Cost $1700 at Classic GMC - they said it had no relation to the engine replacement or labor done in December. Unrelated, but icing on the cake - less than 2 hours and 10 miles of picking it up from service, lots of warnings about lane keep, adaptive cruise control, and park sense started going off. Returned to same shop the next day and *poof* the camera and processor that runs all those systems was somehow fried. Unrelated of course. $1200 a but they claimed GM graciously offered to “split the cost with me 50/50” since I just paid so much for the water pump. Picked up from service and traded vehicle in with 2 days.

Current Unsafe Conditions: Post-Replacement Active Safety Failures. The vehicle presently exhibits two distinct categories of active, ongoing, and dangerous safety failures, both of which were introduced as a direct result of the engine replacement performed by Monument Chevrolet: (a) Severe Drivability Failure. Between approximately 1,500 and 5,000 RPM, the engine repeatedly and without warning lunges forward, drops all power, and lunges again — cycling in this manner between three (3) and six (6) times before stabilizing. This behavior occurs across all gears and driving conditions, which creates a severe and unpredictable hazard particularly when merging into traffic or accelerating onto highways. This failure constitutes an immediate and ongoing risk to the safety of myself and other motorists. (b) Complete ADAS System Failure. The frontal crash response warning light is permanently illuminated on the instrument cluster, rendering the following federally relevant safety systems entirely non-functional: (i) Automatic Emergency Braking / Forward Collision Alert; (ii) Cruise Control; and (iii) Lane Change Assist / Lane Control System. All of these systems were fully operational and properly functioning before the vehicle was submitted for the engine swap. Their failure is an assembly defect introduced by Monument Chevrolet during the course of the repair and constitutes a warranty and safety defect for which General Motors, as the manufacturer and warrantor, bears full responsibility. Medical Hardship and Urgency. This vehicle is my sole personal transportation. It is essential for travel to active medical appointments and upcoming medical procedures. The ongoing failure of General Motors and its authorized service network to restore this vehicle to a safe and fully operable condition has created a serious hardship that directly affects my ability to access needed medical care. Yes, it was driven by a service department supervisor. He did experience the issues.

For the past 6 months I’ve had issues with my crash avoidance system, steer assist and lane departure warning. The crash indicator light would illuminate on my dash for no apparent reason. That would disable my crash warning system, steer assist and lane departure warning but, I could still adjust my distance for my brake warning indicator. The other problems that are not safety related is cruise control and automatic high beam lights will not function. I researched the Internet and found this is not an uncommon problem for this year model. The most common fix (if the windshield is not dirty) was remove the F 11 fuse, in the fuse panel beside passenger door for 10 seconds, that would allow the system to reboot. That worked for 3 months with more than 10 occurrences of the light illuminating on the dash. Now the crash indicator light is on continuously and will not reset by removing the fuse. The computer is up-to-date and all the settings in the infotainment system for the crash avoidance system are activated. Check numerous Internet websites, the cameras for this system is on backorder. So there must be a parent problem with the system. I was required to purchase 36 months of OnStar, I did not purchase a renewal agreement after the 36 month and this issue started soon after.
