2024 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

water intrusion resulted in the tailgate inadvertently unlatching while the vehicle is in park multiple times while being washed. This apparently happened throughout the night, assuming voltage was being used to send open signal, which resulted in drained battery. In my case my vin is not on the recall that is out on GMC for tailgate issue. And dealership determined there is a pinch in tailgate speaker harness that is causing the issue. Which I’m sure that harness is tied into tailgate latch harness. What needs to be addressed in this recall is for the two drain holes on top of tailgate to be somehow sealed. Drain holes are directly above tailgate latch and harnesses which is the main concern in this problem.

GMC has a problem with the electronic brake controller on their 2024 Sierra 2500HD and 3500Hd trucks. All trailers are required to have trailer brakes. In addition the trailer must be equipped with an auxillary battery to activate the emergency breakaway brakes. If the voltage on this battery is higher than the towing vehicle battery, the vehicle controller can display a trailer wiring fault display. When this happens there are no brakes on the trailer. This fault happens intermittantly and can last between 10 seconds to 30 seconds. We constantly have this problem with our vehicle. On two occasions we were in an emergency situation towing a12,500 lb load and had no brakes. This is A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN. The GMC dealer stated that the problem is because our trailer uses a regular car battery to work the hydraulics and the brakes. They stated that the controller pings the trailer to see is anything is connected and that the car battery can interfear with this signal. When this signal does not return the controller senses that no trailer is connected and disables the trailer brakes. The trailer that we have is new and it is wired according to industry standards. Thre are thousands of trailers on the road that have this configuratiion. We have inspected the trailer and cannot find wiring problems. We have towed the same tyrailer with two different trucks and do not have this problem. A quick search on the internet will reveal that many other people are experiencing the same problem.

While driving both drivers and passenger side blind spot warning lights flash on and off when no cars are near. The problem is worse at night when pulling a trailer. The lights sometimes stay on or starting flashing on both side causing a significant distraction.

Tailgate opening on its own when vehicle is in park. Has done this when engine is running in park and with engine shut off in park.

[XXX] has a trailer brake control module issue that causes the trailer brake to periodically disengage and reengage. Unfortunately, I had to drive across the country on a military PCS move with this intermittent failure. GMC has provided numerous surveys to ask about my experience with my new GMC. Overall, the vehicle adequate, and in each survey I have annotated this issue. However, it does not appear the issue is being taken seriously as I have not seen a recall. A trailer brake that intermittently fails is extremely dangerous. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was able to duplicate the failure but was unable to provide a fix. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 3.

Towing an RV with solar panels. When the trailer battery becomes fully charged and has a higher charge than the vehicle battery, the trailer brake control module becomes disabled. When this occurs, you have no trailer brakes. Combined weight of truck and RV exceeds 20,000 pounds. Trying to stop with only truck brakes is dangerous, especially if you are on a decent. I not only believe this to be a safety issues, but somebody is going to get killed.
