  • 2017 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Wyoming, MI

    Transmission went out as I was pulling into traffic, no warning lights on dash and no issues until this incident and had it towed to the dealership where I was told it would be $6600 to replace the transmission and that it was completely in operable. My truck is a 2017 with 53816 actual miles. Called gm company and they will not help with repairs at all.

  • 2017 GMC YUKON
    - West Sacramento, CA

    Clutch in Torque Converter failed at just around 60,000 miles. Vehicle had a vibration issue shortly before & I thought maybe I got a poor quality tank of gas. Filled up with new gas and problem still there. Took it to my mechanic & he told me it was a complete failure which would require a new transmission or a rebuild on existing.

  • 2021 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Seabeck, WA

    On the morning of 1/19/25, my 2021 GMC Sierra 6.2L AT4 went into limp mode heading south on HWY 207 in Leavenworth, WA at approximately 60 m.p.h. Fortunately, I was able to avoid a rear end collision. I quickly turned the truck off in the middle of the road and restarted it with a CEL. When I returned home almost 180 miles away, my local mechanic diagnosed a code P0303 and cleared it. Since, the truck has continued to shutter at various speeds without throwing a code. It is currently at Haselwood GMC in Bremerton, WA being scanned, recorded, and findings set to GM waiting for resolve. I have notes, exact dates, times, call records, return voice mail messages, and dealership personnel spoken to, etc. The dealer’s lead technician and I were able to replicate the shutter on a road test together on 1/27/25 at 3 p.m. after having driven just 10 miles. During my visit on the morning of 1/30/25, the lead technician stated he has since been able to replicate the shutter seemingly getting worse. I was strongly encouraged by the service manager, service writer, and lead technician their collective “personal recommendation” was to not take the truck back. Haselwood has had the truck since 1/27/25. Still awaiting a response and resolution.

  • 2023 GMC YUKON XL
    - San Jose, CA

    The engine failed at highway speeds on approx. July 15 2024. Filed a claim with GM. GM replaced minimal engine parts to get the car running. GM refused to acknowledge this was a safety issue. Engine failed at highway speeds again approx 09/20/2024 this time just shutting off. When the engine oil was drained at the dealer it was silver. The entire engine was replaced this time. Again GM refused to acknowledge this was a safety hazard. After engine replacement the low oil light came on at the time of an oil change. I am monitoring oil burn on this new engine.
