The fuel economy ump module is not working. The dealership said this is happening to all GMC models and it is a nation wide back order. Some dealerships have had vehicles sitting for 3+months and GMC will not do a recall. The expected fix date is “hopefully” February 2025

Electronic trailer brake controller when using disconnects and reconnects turning trailer brakes on and off creating an unsafe situation by never knowing if trailer brakes are going work. Dealer states no problem found with controller and changed trailer plug. Not correcting issue. Tried 2 other trailers same issue occurred. Leading to believe controller is issue. Web search indicates there are many others with similar issue. Dealer states there are no recalls indicating this issue. This has been issue for a few weeks while traveling with a travel trailer.

The tailgate opens on it's own. This is unsafe because the tailgate can open without me knowing it and cause a safety hazard by hitting someone OR by items falling out of the bed of the truck while driving. That can cause injury or damage to people and/or property.

At night, when ever I backup with this vehicle, the backup camera in the Infotainment display is so bright, it is impossible to use the mirrors or view anything out of the windows. I did several searches on the internet, discovered that this was a problem and that this had occurred in GM vehicles years 2014-2019. A service bulletin 17-NA-269 described and applied a software upgrade to fix issue in those vehicles. I called 2 local dealers and they both said they had never heard of problem. I then visited one of those dealers in person, they then admitted that they had heard of problem, but did not have any resolution. I called GM in Detroit, and they attempted to assistme over the phone, but all of the things they suggested , I had already tried. Dimming dash lights and turning off infotainment display, neither suggestion helped. They said they did not have any other suggestions. I can throw a towel over the infotainment system display and that allows me to be able to use mirrors and see out of the windows. The danger is that I could back into something or someone and cause damage to local infrastructure or hurt or kill an individual that I could not see while backing up with vehicle.
