| Jun 2025 | ENGINE | I received a recall notice for my 2024 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate (6.2L engine), related to defective lifters that can cause engine damage. My truck was built in April 2024, and I've been told by some sources that certain 2024s may have the updated lifters, but neither my dealership nor GMC will confirm whether my truck is affected or safe. I’ve asked multiple times for VIN-specific confirmation of the engine components — no one has been able to tell me if my vehicle has the faulty parts or not. I was told to just keep using the oil they recommend or wait for a diagnostic tool GM hasn’t even released yet. That’s not enough. I’m planning to take my family, including my grandchildren, on a long road trip soon, and I don’t feel safe putting them in this truck without answers. For a vehicle that cost over $85,000, I shouldn’t be left guessing whether the engine could fail on the road. I’m filing this complaint because GM is not giving me a straight answer, and I think this is a serious safety concern. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE | I learned 2 weeks ago my 6.2L was part of the recall. I took a business trip in the truck with about 19,000 miles last week. I got home Friday noon. Truck was parked from Friday till this afternoon. Went to remote start it, it started, was misfiring and stalled, I could hear what I thought was a rod clanking. I got in the truck, started it with the start button, same thing. Had my 19yr old son start it with me laying on the driveway listening. It was clearly a rod or bearing making noise. I’m fortunate this happened in my driveway and not on my hour drive Friday. Truck will be towed to dealer Monday 6/2, but I suspect this motor has failed with 20,000 miles for the same reason it was recalled. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On [XXX] this vehicle was in Blue Cruise on [XXX] in Louisiana when it without warning coasted to a stop after the engine quit. Cruise lights remained active, no other lights were illuminated, and the vehicle simply rolled to a stop. La. DOT assisted. The vehicle was towed (complicated that once placed into park, and the engine would not restart, the vehicle cannot easily be placed in neutral to be towed). The vehicle was trailered some ~50 miles and sits at Rainbow NorthShore GMC in Covington, La. This is a series, life threatening situation that all vehicles need be removed from the road.

| May 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was traveling on the interstate, going a little over 70 MPH as I was passing a tractor and trailer. There were no other vehicles in front of me. Suddenly the truck jerked like the breaks were being applied and my speed was quickly reduced to around 60 MPH. The heads up display showed a crash alert orange symbol. I pushed the gas to try to get back up to speed but the truck would not accelerate and the speed kept dropping. I pulled over to the berm and came to a stop. There was a message on the message center but it went away before I could read it with everything else happening. I put the truck in park and waited a minute then I pulled back out and was able to get the truck back up to speed and home. I plan to contact my dealer tomorrow. The ruck was involved in an accident that damaged the front in earlier this year so I believe some or all of those sensors have been replaced. This is the first issue we’ve had since purchase. If there would have been a vehicle following behind me, the rapid breaking/deceleration could have caused an accident. Also the inability for me to regain my speed when traveling on an interstate was a danger to myself and others. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2025 | ENGINE | starting in June of 2024 at 6500 miles my truck started exhibiting loud exhaust drones and severe vibrations coming through the dash, floorboard and steering column on excelleration. The truck has been in repair 7 times in the past 11 months and multiple parts have been changed. I learned that there are thousands of General Motors 1500 trucks equipped with the 3.0 LZ0 Duramax diesel engine exhibiting the same symptoms. A General Motors Field Engineer found Broken exhaust bracket studs at the engine block caused by exhaust alignment and engine/transmission mount stress from worn components. These trucks are coming from the factory this way and continues with 2025 model year. My son owns a 2025 GMC AT4X 3.0 LZO and has the exact same symptoms. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | TWICE in the past month +. On [XXX] my wife and I were on our way to a family wedding and I was driving approx 75 MPH on [XXX]. I don't recall if I had cruise control on or not as I rarely use it. There was no vehicle was in front of me for hundreds of yards yet all of a sudden the vehicle started to brake very hard. I accelerated as I did not know what was going on and I had a car in back of me that started to gain. THEN last Friday ([XXX}) with my wife following me in her car on [XXX] through Ellicott City MD I was traveling at approx 25-30 MPH through a very small historic town when all of a sudden the same [XXX] thing happened. DEF no CC on . When we got to our destination I asked my wife if she saw my brakes come on suddenly?. She replied yes and said she saw the truck dip hard. I told her the brakes did it again. She said I should call the dealer. I did not as they are USELESS! THEN the electronics. On Star has a catalog of my complaints. The radio selections I make just disappear from the screen: Apple Car Play disappears from the touch screen and just goes dark. I have to stop the truck..(per on-star) open the door.. get out.. lock it.. wait 2 minutes.. get back in .. restart the truck, and this re-sets the computers(s). RIDICULOUS! I do not have Sirius but the radio goes dark often for about 2-3 seconds., then comes back on. I was told it is my I-Phone is causing this. [XXX]! What does my phone have to do with AM/FM radio?? I was told by GMC there is a patch to update the software. Koons GMC told me there was no such patch nor recall. I paid nearly $80,000 for this piece of [XXX]!

| May 2025 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | When in a dark area with little to no lights the backup camera is unusable. The taillights/reverse lights do not put off enough light to provide the camera with the lighting it needs to see behind the vehicle in dark situations.

| May 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Metal fragments in engine oil. Vehicle has 9500 miles. Manufacturer tells me to keep driving until it fails. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | Purchase the truck [XXX]. In January of 2025 it started to feel like the engine was slipping. Near the end of February, it was getting worse and the locks started locking/unlocking on their own. The vehicle stalled two separate times while driving on a main road. The first couple days of March, the car stalled, again on the road while the locks went crazy. Then, on [XXX], after I had pulled out of my driveway in my neighborhood, my car completely shut down. We had to have the truck towed to Coyle GMC, in Clarksville, Indiana. And, as of May 1st, it is still there. We have been told they need some cap for the transmission and they don't know when they will get it. They offered to give us a new transmission, but they don't know when they'll get it. I am making car payments on a car that I have not had since May 7th. Unfortunately, because I drive my car for work, it had it's 32000 miles on it, so I can't turn it in for the lemon law. I'm very lucky that my son and I were not injured when the car stalled in the middle of the road. This is an ongoing issue with GMC, and I think it should be illegal that they were selling these trucks. I have a brand new truck that I haven't driven in 2 months.

| May 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have received the notice about the recall and now I am just worried because I have a wife and two-year-old child in my truck. I don't want the engine issue to happen while they are in the truck and increases the risk to get into an accident if the engine fails. I have tried to schedule an appointment with my dealership and from the date I received notice on 04/28/2025. They stated I have to call back in two weeks which should be unacceptable because how about if the engine fails within the two weeks and causes even more issues for me and my family. This should be approached much quicker and fix the matter asap. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Apr 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On April 21, 2025 around 11pm, I was entering my neighborhood, I was slowing to a stop, the truck shut off, shifted to neutral on its own. Clusters were still on though, no error codes other than instruction to turn ignition back on. I tried for over 20 minutes with no luck. I placed the truck in park and shut it off after that I couldn't get it change back to neutral. Was on the phone with onstar and recorded it. Eventually it turned on with check engine light, made it home. On April 22, 2025, I dropped it off at Classic Buick GMC 16835 Katy Fwy, Houston, Texas 77094. Service rep informed me I will require a new engine as there are metal shavings in the oil filter as a result of worn cam shaft bearings. They have had the truck at their shop since the incident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
