This vehicle is equipped with remote tail gate release which can be activated without the knowledge of the driver allowing items to fall from vehicle and promote a dangerous outcome. An example is this morning the tailgate released after I stopped at a gas station and I had a piece of equipment fall from the vehicle.

The backup camera intermittently turns off in low light, thus rendering it ineffective at night. It's been identified with NHTSA ID Number: 10234211. However, there is no fix. I feel this is a safety issue as the camera does not work correctly in low light. It has been this way for approximately 6 months, since I purchased the vehicle.

We were driving our truck with our family on vacation. We were going slowly entering the parking lot to our hotel when a sudden loud grinding noise caused our truck to shudder and shake. We stopped and got out and didn’t see that we ran over anything. We started to proceed and the sound was the same. We parked in a stall and left the vehicle overnight. No check engine lights were on. No warnings at all. It was Memorial Day weekend 2023. There were no dealerships open where we were vacationing, 3 hours from home. Very inconvenient. Later when the dealer looked at it, the thrust bearing was bad and the engine was shot. Needed a full replacement at 10,600 miles.

THEN PROCEEDING TO PARK AT LOW SPEED AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO PARK-IT SEEMS LIKE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGES AND CAR ACCELERATES. IT ONLY HAPPEN A FEW TIMES -5 SO FAR- ONLY HAS ABOUT 9000 MILES. APPLYING BRAKE DISENGAGES THE PROBLEM. NO INCIDENTS OCCURRED, BUT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The PCV system plugs up in below zero weather casing the main rear engine seal to blow and leak. Currently waiting for gmc to manufacture the seal as it’s been back ordered due to so many engines needing this part. Estimate is 2 months or more wait. A loud ‘pop’ was heard the day before leaking. It sounded like an object hit under the truck. Oil drops were found the next day and dealership found the leak. Gateway in Fargo, ND is the mechanic and GMC is paying for repairs. If we were to of driven for a prolonged time, the leak could have poured most of all of the oil out of the blown seal and ruined the engine. There were no warning signs. The oil pressure seemed unstable the immediate days afterwards before being looked at. It was going down and coming back up after warming. The oil began leaking faster and in larger amounts as weather warmed above freezing.

I have had an intermittent, aggressive engine knock and rough idle since i bought the truck. I'm assuming it has to do with the collapsing lifter issue from the fuel management system. when I bring it to the dealership (paradise chevrolet ventura) , they tell me that they cannot replicate the issue and that if there is no check engine light on the dash, there is nothing they can do. I am concerned for my families safety and my truck becoming an issue after my warranty runs out. my chief complaint has been documented by the dealership multiple times and I have video of me replicating the issue.

DEF system has malfunctioned. It is not recognizing a full tank and proceeds to regulate how many miles you can go at a lower speed. The final speed drops to 5 mile an hour, not allowing you to go any faster. This is a brand new truck with less than 2,500 miles on it.
