  • 2021 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Quincy, MA

    The valve body failed, brought it in to a GMC dealership 3 months ago they told me the valve body is on back order. Last week they received the new valve body installed it and tried to program it. While programming it, the brand new valve body failed. So now I am stuck again with no ETA of when a new valve body will be sent to the dealership to fix the issue. this is obviously an issue with the make and model and in my opinion should be a recall. I do not feel safe if I ever get my truck back from this issue due to ongoing valve body failures nation wide and two on my end.

  • 2020 GMC ACADIA
    - Palmyra, WI

    The torque converter in the transmission has been vibrating for over a year now. I can imagine it is causing more damage to the rest of the transmission. Now I can feel the shifting starting to get rough, loss of power, and dark transmission fluid. I had the problem confirmed with an independent service center. There have been no warning lamps as of yet. But it's only a matter of time that I will need a torque converter replacement and/or full transmission replacement.

  • 2022 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Olive Branch, MS

    The truck was a part of the L87 recall inlcuding the 6.2L engines. It passed their pico inspection. They changed the oil. I was driving down the interstate in Memphis rush hour traffic with my daughter in the backseat and suddenly lost all propulsion. The dash said please start truck. I lost all power to the engine. I had to navigate high speed traffic and merge lanes safely. The cars stuck behind me, myself and family, and others nearby could've been in a wreck because of this issue. We were stuck on the side of the interstate waiting for a tow truck. It was towed to the nearby dealer where it sat waiting for the engine to be replaced for a couple of months. We are extremely lucky that the large trucks did not run us over. GM has since replaced the engine with another remanufactured engine that is already making noises similar to the one it had before. What is going to happen when we are in an accident due to GM's negligence and continued issues with this engine?

    - Lansing, MI

    I had just pulled off from street light, hit button to turn auto engine shutoff off, all of sudden I lose power as if I'm in neutral, engines reving up but won't go. Then kicks in but with less power like gears will not shift. I get to my destination but car will not go in reverse.

  • 2020 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Beggs, OK

    My 2020 GMC Sierra Denali diesel with approximately 90,000 miles experienced two separate front suspension failures within a short period of time. The driver side tie rod and wheel hub failed first and required repair. Shortly after, the passenger side front suspension failed in a similar way and the vehicle had to be towed. These failures caused the front wheels to become unstable and created a serious safety concern while driving. Suspension components such as tie rods and hubs should not fail at this mileage under normal driving conditions.
