Consumer Description
WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 24 HOURS AND ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB. NOTHING. TRIED THE OTHER FOB. NOTHING. USED THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND GET IN TO PUSH BUTTON START AND NOTHING. I PLUGGED BOTH BATTERIES INTO CHARGERS AND THEY WOULD START TO CHARGE, THEN DISCHARGE AFTER THE BATTERIES GOT UP TO ABOUT 20% I CALLED GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY SENT SOMEONE OUT. THE SERVICE GUY SHOWED UP ABOUT 45 MIN LATER AND HOOKED UP A JUMP BOX TO EACH BATTERY. STILL NO LUCK IN GETTING IT STARTED. HE SAID IT MUST HAVE SOME MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. SINCE WE COULD NOT GET IT TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, HE COULD NOT TOW IT AND I AM NOW WAITING FOR A TOW IN THE MORNING. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. I'M DEALING WITH THIS LESS THAN 5 MONTHS INTO OWNERSHIP AND THIS COMES AFTER I HAD TO TAKE IT INTO SERVICE THE SECOND DAY OF OWNING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAD A DEF SENSOR CRYSTALLIZE AND GO BAD. SO, I OWNED THE TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 24 HRS AND HAD TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK. NOW, IT GOES BACK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A $81,000 TRUCK THAT HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES.
