Consumer Description
I own a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate. The truck had about 19k miles on it when the engine seized while driving on the highway late at night in January. This was extremely dangerous as I was going 55mph over a bridge and lost the engine. I was stranded on an exit ramp unable to move. It was cold that week so it was 5 degrees. Onstar informed me that since the truck could not be shifted into Neutral that it would need dollies and a flat bed. They said they could get to me at 8am which was 9 hours from when the truck broke down. It was 5 degrees out and I had no heat sitting on the highway. I ended up calling a local tow company and they were able to get to me but I had to wait 3 hours. The truck was towed to the deal and they confirmed that the engine seized (it is a known problem) and it needs a new motor. They said there is a big back log of engines because many have this issue. I still have not provided a timeline for the truck to be repaired.
