2023 GMC Sierra 2500

The transmission control mod is bad. This is a persistent problem and that's why it is on back order for up to a year. It is unethical to not issue a recall as customers have to continue to pay for the vehicle while not getting a replacement of equal capabilities. I bought a 3/4 ton truck to haul for work, not getting something that can do the same while a pay $1000+ a month is wrong. For the NHTSA not to get involved, issue some sort of recall, and allow GM to continue to take people's money while their vehicles depreciate is wrong. Is this so the government can get paid back from GM for the bailout 15 years ago?

This issue is pertaining to the valve body in my 10-speed transmission. While I was traveling home, the truck experienced a “wheel lockup”. The transmission shifted down aggressively, then putting the truck into limp mode. I had to travel the rest of the way home with a max speed of 35 mph. I have been without this truck for 3 months waiting on parts. This is absolutely unacceptable from gm. Extremely unsave.

While driving the vehicle, I entered onto the interstate, as I accelerated into the flow of traffic, (approximately 45-50 mph) my truck suddenly and unexpectedly jerked and “clunked” extremely hard, I thought I had ran over a large object, approximately 5 seconds later it jerked and “popped” loudly. At that time the reduced engine power and check engine light came on causing my vehicle to suddenly slow down to 20 mph and almost being rear ended by a tractor trailer truck traveling the speed limit that had to hit his brakes e trebly hard to avoid a rear end collision. After removing my truck from the flow of traffic, I turned it off, exited the vehicle to see if I had ran over something, I did not. Cranked it up, no signs on the dash, as I started back to the travel lanes, it “surged & jerked” the reduced power and check engine light came back on. Once I got the truck to the dealership, the service manager informed me he knew exactly what it was, the transmission valve body was no longer good. He also informed me that my truck was now number 28 in line just at that dealership for the same issue and repair, then added that GM is out of stock on the parts and back order status.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle gear shift was shifting independently, and the contact noticed the vehicle was shaking and the vehicle went into limp mode. The check engine lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to the right side of the road turned the vehicle off and then turned the vehicle back on and the failure persisted. The contact the gear shift was stuck in fifth gear. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the valve body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified on the failure and opened a case. The contact was referred by the manufacture to report the failure The approximate failure mileage was 50,823.

I rely heavily on this vehicle for my business and within 1 year of ownership, the vehicle broke down on the highway allowing it to only run @ 30mph. After finally locating a dealer who could evaluate the vehicle in less than 1 week, I was informed that the part was unavailable and they indicated, "it could take 1 month or 3 months to receive." Following multiple conversations, I was forced to open a claim with GM Customer Care. While trying to get information, I was, at one point, told that "although the code indicates failed transmission control module, it doesn't happen all the time and if I wanted to drive it I could come and take it until the part arrives." That really told me alot about how GM representatives view SAFETY while when it happened, I was on Interstate and nearly got trounced by oncoming heavy traffic while pulling an equipment trailer. After the case was handed off to several GM Customer Care Representatives, I finally rec'd feedback including several email updates. I finally rec'd the vehicle back after 1 month and was informed that 1) would receive car payment from GM & 2) would receive additional compensation for lost work time while my vehicle was out of service (Jan 2024). Since that conversation, I did receive 1 car payment however, never heard back from Alisa regarding "lost time". I have sent several emails to customer care asking for an update however, crickets. Furthermore, the car has returned to the shop for another warning to "shift vehicle to park" when it was in park. They told me its a electrical malfunction but they could not get the error to come up on test. I have a photo showing the error.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle shook abnormally twice and then switched to Low Power Mode. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission valve body needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the valve body had failed within one and a half year. The contact requested that the entire transmission be replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and declined to replace the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Two times with my truck, the transmission has locked up solid while towing a heavy load almost causing my load to shift and wreck my truck in traffic. It happened at 60k miles and again at 68k miles. The truck shutters and then locks up solid on the transmission, then after a second of sliding, it releases and goes into limp mode. This is a serious issue when it is uncontrollable. It felt like my trailer had broken loose and slammed into the cab when it happened. I'm sure it wasn't good on the truck in general. A code scanner read P0747 code and it appears that GMCs recall does not cover my truck in another recall for the same issue with 20-22 model trucks. It is happening all the way up to the 25 year models from what I read.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated that his son informed him that there was a puddle of water in the rear seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the upper track for the rear sliding window was fractured on both sides, causing water to leak inside the vehicle. The dealer determined that the rear window needed to be replaced; however, the part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
