My truck wonders down the highway. It has been to the dealership well over 4 times. They have aligned the truck multiple times, changed the steering gear box, changed the power steering pump, changed tires and nothing fixes it. It takes constant adjusting of the steering to stay in my lane on any road. Quite pitiful for a $90,000 truck. It is currently at the dealership for the THIRD time in the past 7 days because they can’t get the truck to stop leaking fluids since changing the power steering pump. Excessive play in the steering and has been like that since day one that I left the lot. My wife can’t even drive the truck because she feels unsafe with how much play is in the steering. The dealership won’t do anything about it and is offering $20,000 less than I gave for the truck now that I can’t tolerate it anymore. But I refuse to lose that much money with only 13,000 miles on it. I just want a safe and reliable truck for my business and my family. Unfortunately that is not what GM has provided me with.

The AC/Heat blower (fan) stopped working. The vehicle was new purchased new May 2023. August 2024 the blower motor stopped working. Took the vehicle to Jerry's GMC Weatherford, TX (where it was purchased) and they check the blower motor and replaced it. No charge for the service. Reason given for blower motor problem was, "motor shorted out, burnt the wiring and the connector". Now, February, 2025, the blower motor stopped working once again. Took it back to Jerry's GMC, Weatherfore, TX. The blower motor had shorted out once again, burnt the wires and connector. Reason given for the reaccurring problem, " the blower motors they are getting have a bearing problem, causing the motor to go to ground, overheat the wiring and burns the connector". They replaced the blower motor once again and no charge. The reason for this notice is, With these motors shorting out because of internal problems, the wiring melting and connector melting, there is the possibility of a fire hazard. We feel that there needs to an investigation into this problem before something happens. Thanks

024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate, which has suffered: •Five catastrophic engine failures at highway speeds. •Total brake failure, leaving the truck unable to stop. •Severe electrical malfunctions, including flickering headlights at night. •Retaliatory actions from General Motors after I refused to waive my legal rights. I have documented proof, including GM’s own service records, emails, and a 7-minute recorded statement from GM’s highest-level technician, confirming that GM installed the wrong computer module (1500 series instead of the required 2500 series) in my truck. Additionally, I have evidence that GM executives instructed technicians to conduct diagnostics, take apart the engine, and reassemble it—but NOT repair the defect—after I refused to sign an affidavit waiving my rights. Due to these failures, I suffered a dislocated shoulder in one of the incidents, and my [XXX] daughter remains traumatized to this day. Given the immediate danger this defect poses to other GMC Sierra 2500 owners, I respectfully request that NHTSA open an investigation and consider issuing a recall before a tragedy occurs. 1. Engine Failures Since 3,000 Miles – GM’s Own Work Orders Confirm Issue Since purchasing my 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali Ultimate, I have experienced five catastrophic engine failures, all occurring while traveling at highway speeds (70 mph): •The truck suddenly lost power, dropping from 70 mph to 5-10 mph within seconds. •This created an immediate risk of being rear-ended or losing control on the highway. •GM’s own service records confirm that my engine issues began at just 3,000 miles. •GM dealerships misdiagnosed the issue FOUR TIMES, returning my truck to me in an unsafe condition. •The real cause was only identified after the FIFTH failure, when a GM-certified head technician finally determined that GM had installed the wrong computer module (1500 series instead of 2500 series). This means that for months, GM knew my vehicle w INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA

I leased this vehicle on May 17, 2024, expecting it to function as intended. Instead, within months, it suffered recurring and escalating failures that have rendered it unsafe and unusable. January 7, 2025, I brought the truck to Gates GMC for routine service and reported that it had lunged forward by approximately 2 to 2.5 feet while shifting into park. Additionally, it exhibited irregular acceleration and rough down shifting in lower gears. I also communicated the check engine light has come on and gone off on the dashboard over the past week a few times without receiving any information on the app. At this January 7th visit, GM performed Recall N242435631, supposedly addressing a known battery drain defect that caused total vehicle shutdowns. On January 24, 2025, I started the truck and was immediately overwhelmed by an intense chemical odor coming through the ventilation system. January 31 – February 1, 2025 – Erratic Engine Warning Lights & Diagnostic Failures On January 31, 2025, at 5:28 PM, on this key cycle the check engine light illuminated but failed to register in the GM app. On the next key cycle, the warning disappeared. The following morning, February 1, 2025, at 10:26 AM, the check engine light Appeared on the first key cycle before disappearing on the second key cycle. The onboard diagnostics system failed to log or retain these warnings. On February 7, 2025, the vehicle suffered a complete electrical failure. no electronic function whatsoever. Roadside Assistance attempted to jump-start the truck using a high-powered jump pack, but it remained inoperable. A ford super duty and jump pack were needed to force start the truck. February 10, 2025 the truck suffered another total electrical failure and required towing to Gates GMC. The app indicated the Brake System, Anti-Lock Braking System, Emissions System (Specifically the exhaust system), and Power Train requiring service.

The systems have become unavailable. Took to dealership and they were told it just needed a software update. Dealer performed update GM sent and did not work. Dealer was told GM engineers would need to find a fix. I complained to GM and asked that they replace the cameras, especially because the vehicle is under warranty, and I was told no because that won't fix the issue. They don't even know what needs to be done to fix the issue though, but won't try a camera swap. They told me I need to take it back to the dealer so they can run diagnostics on it when the issue happens. I don't know what is so hard to understand that the issue is always there; the systems don't work and my dash always has the light the forward collision system not on and given a message when I start the truck that it is not available. This began to be an issue around 9000 miles. It first started by saying window camera blocked due to frost, but when it was clear, and I cleaned every camera and sensor, it still would not come on. This was 1.5 months ago. I don't understand why they are not trying to expedite fixing this safety issue. The dealer can't do anything until GM tells them to change out camera or send another fix, but there is no software fix available. I can forward emails between myself and GM and you can clearly see they are not listening. If that would be helpful, please let me know how to forward them.

Towing cargo trailer Thursday November 21 up 4 degree incline transmission let loose banged and popped slammed to a stop almost causing accident and went to limp mode. Took to dealership in show low Arizona. Was told this is common problem and it’s the valve body assembly and parts are 60-90 days out. Mind you this truck was ordered from factory and received in march of 2024. The truck has 21k miles. So now a vehicle I bought specifically for business to haul a spray trailer will be down 2-3 months with no loaner to use to operate our business.
