GMC Complaints

I have a 2013 GMC 1500 with the 6.2L Engine. There was a recall on my engine when I purchased it used with 21K on the odometer. I took it in for the 5K oil change at 26K miles and the "performed the recall oil change" replacing the oil with 0W40 oil saying this should "fix the recall". At 32K miles my engine blew up on Christmas Eve 12/24/2025 and left my son and I stranded on the side of the road. I had the truck towed to the GMC dealer and they are now in the process of replacing the entire engine. I have now been without my truck for over a month because several other owners with 6.2L engines are having the same issue.

Good morning. It’s about the safety recall for loss of propulsion due to manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure. GM notified me about this in September 2025 . So, I drove my vehicle to the dealership to inspect my vehicle , my SUV passed the examination, they replaced the oil recommending now another one with higher viscosity, new oil cap and an owner’s manual insert free of charge. Ladies and gentlemen; My concern from here on now is, just doing this is going to give me a peace of mind? Meaning the manufacturer defects issue is not longer in my vehicle? I paid a top dollar for this specific unit because I like to travel across the country even to go to Mexico. Right now I’m driving the truck silent, no music at all.driving the vehicle just to go to the store, to buy groceries,very short trips, around my neighborhood Trying to hear any noise, any knocking noise on my engine, observing the dashboard controls constantly, my family and I decided to stop traveling due to my vehicle is not secure to do it with this particular 6.2 engine because my notification letter from GM says that if the vehicle fails during operation will lose control increasing the risk of crash. As a GM customer, using my vehicle with my family I don’t feel safe and comfortable with my vehicle therefore I am asking and expecting for a better solution from General Motors. Not just replacing the oil for another one with a higher viscosity because doing this only is telling me that it’s just a cheap remedy, but the manufacturer defects are still there with my vehicle . I know they extended the warranty to cover this defect if something happens in the future, but isn’t about that , is about the safety, the concerns, the feelings of the family members involved in this insecure situation while driving this vehicle in the highway at 70 miles an hour.Ladies and gentlemen. I am pretty sure you can help us with this petition , GM should be able to do something way better.

Vehicle will not shut off, keep showing shift to Park, even when vehicle is in park with parking brake engaged. This has been a common occurrence and I see where people discuss a recall, but one is not available for my VIN.

While driving approximately 63 mph on a busy roadway, my 2023 GMC Yukon experienced a sudden failure of the brake system, including loss of normal braking capability along with failures of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and ABS systems. The vehicle displayed warning messages stating “Brake System Failure” and “Service ESC” and entered a reduced-speed mode. Prior to this incident, there were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms indicating a problem. During the failure, the brakes became largely unresponsive, placing me, my two minor children who were passengers in the vehicle, and surrounding motorists at serious risk of a high-speed collision. After extended deceleration, a minimal amount of braking power partially returned, allowing the vehicle to eventually come to a stop. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a dealer, manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, and the issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a service center. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request and has not been repaired. This incident occurred without prior warning and involved a sudden and dangerous loss of braking capability at highway speed.

I heard a loud metallic knock that was not consistent with normal engine noise. I noticed the oil pressure was on the lower end of the scale but not abnormal based on how it is displayed. I decided to take the vehicle to the dealer ASAP for an oil change (that was coming due) and discuss with them. I drove roughly 20 miles from start of noise until delivery at the dealer. The truck gave me a "Reduced Acceleration, drive with caution" message 10 miles prior to the dealership but no associated lights, engine codes, check engine light or associated alerts on the myGMC app. Dealership found oil pressure ranging between 4-8 psi, and a failed oil pressure control solenoid, heavy metal debris in the oil pan including parts of the thrust bearing and oil squirter. Entire engine and turbo replacement was required. Truck had 143 hours on the engine and 6,300 miles. It was produced in August of 2025 with a purchase date of 17 October 2025. Produced: 8/25 Purchased: 10/17/25 Failed: 12/30/2025 Returned with new Engine: 1/23/26

The contact owns a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the braking system had erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly stop in the middle of the road. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed that the failure was caused by an engine malfunction of the number six cylinder. The vehicle was repaired. No further information was available. After retrieving the vehicle, the contact was driving approximately 10 MPH when the failure reoccurred and the braking system erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. During the incident, the driver's head slammed into the steering wheel, causing a head laceration. No medical treatment was required. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 120,000.
