Wiper blades transmission plastic parts keep popping or breaking this is the THIRD time this has happened at a cost of $350. Why would you use plastic parts for this knowing that it will break easily? Who can afford to keep replacing this? 12

Bought truck 0n 12/26/2025 from lot in Michigan had it transported to Missouri. First time I drive it Check Engine comes on and goes into "Limp Mode". Had it towed to GM Dealer and they say it was the high pressure fuel pump. Got it back and check engine light comes back on then goes off then back on again. Not happy at all!!!

P0304 and P0306 misfiring and compression on both cylinders is 0. Both lifters have broke and collapsed. It started with a noise, once checked by the mechanic, we were told the lifter was going bad, before we could get it repaired it completely broke and that is when the check engine light came on and went off repeated times. At this time it is pouring out black smoke when driving and must have a complete engine replacement. The replacement work has been quoted for $10479.57.

While driving at 72moh, the engine started to knock/tick and then shifted into neutral indicating to press the start button again. Once I coasted to a stop, the truck shifted into park by itself and indicated to hit the start button again at which point it was completely locked up and inoperable. The vehicle had an engine replaced at 13,000 miles and currently has 54,000 miles on it. It now needs another complete engine replacement. The vehicle also had the recall inspection done in DEC/2025 and found no issues.

Shift to Park warning comes on when the car is turned off and it is in park. When we park the the car and shift the car to park and turn the car off the warning "shift to park" comes on and the electrical systems will not disengage. The radio stays on, the car can not be locked, and the doors ding loud alarms if you try to exit the car. The only fix is to sit in the car for several minutes and flick the switch under the gear shift and hope that the shift to park warning eventually goes off and you can exit the car. It sometimes takes 8-10 minutes for this to happen. This first happened intermittently and now happens every time we turn off the car. It has been replicated in a dealership and service center. The independent service center that did our brakes said they were aware this was a common problem in GMCs and they experienced it. We have been told it is a microswitch and the repair option is not under any kind of recall or warranty and up to us to pay for the full repair even though it seems there are thousands of people online experiencing the same problem and paying hundreds of dollars for this fix.

This truck is equipped with the 6.2L L87 and the motor seized up and shut off with no dash light warning and i stalled and rolled over a curb! This is very dangerous and now i have to pay 10k + out of Pocket for an engine replacement! Truck has low miles this is unacceptable and it needs to be in the recall , this is dangerous and it hurts people !
