Most Recent Complaints

#11717562 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | | N/A miles
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated that the engine was making an abnormal rattling sound on cold starts. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the front muffler exhaust baffle was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the rattling sound could not be heard; however, the contact stated that the rattling sound had become louder, and other individuals were able to hear the rattling sound. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 92,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 98,325. The Carfax report was not available at the time of purchase. The mileage discrepancy was later identified through the vehicle manufacturer’s Mobile App.
#11703277 | TIRES | | N/A miles
I had taken our GMC Sierra 2500 with LT275/R20 Goodyear Wrangler tires into Henderson Chevrolet for maintenance and to have the tires checked. The technician stated that the front tires were showing tread separation. I was shocked because the tires only had around 20,000 miles. The truck is not used for towing and is kept in the garage away from the sun. I asked the technician to double check the rear tires for separation and he stated they were fine. A couple of weeks later, I was driving to California and there was a loud bang on the rear driver side. The truck indicated the the tire was losing pressure. I pulled over to the side of the busy road as soon as possible. The entire tread was missing form the tire and when it came off it damaged the wheel well and the rear bumper and taillight.There was a lot of traffic on the highway and not much shoulder it was a pretty scary and unsafe situation I but got the tire changed with the spare. About an hour later the passenger side tire blew up, there was way more damage on this side including bent exhaust and damage to the fender. I had to get roadside assistance to change the tire so I changed both rear tires so i could have a spare.When I took the car back to Henderson Chevrolet they told me this is a common problem they have had 10 in the last 6 months. Boulder Autobody said they had seen 7 in the last 6 months. Henderson Chevrolet sent both tires to Goodyear to be examined and they conveniently lost one of them and stated that the tires were not defective. Thank goodness no one was hurt, this could have easily killed someone.
#11697913 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | | N/A miles
After driving my truck, once I park and turn the truck off it will not shut down electronically due to an error on the dash display that reads “shift to park”. Sometimes I have to mess with the gear shifter when the truck is in park to get it to register that it is parked and shut down completely. It can take up to 15 minutes sometimes to shut down.
#11696047 | TIRES | | 26,000 miles
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 equipped with Goodyear Tires, Tire Line: Wrangler Trail Runner A/T, Tire Size: LT275/65/R20, DOT Number: 1PJOTJB1B3221. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, there was an explosion, and the entire tread width of the front driver side tire delaminated and wrapped around the axle. The contact stated that the tire did not deflate, and the radial belts were visible. No warning light illuminated. The contact stated that two months later, with the second set of tires on the vehicle, the failure reoccurred with the driver’s side rear tire. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the two front tires were replaced. The contact stated that with the second set of four tires, the failure had occurred twice. The tires were the original equipment. The contact stated that the tires had a tread depth of 4/32. The contact attempted to notify the manufacturer, but the call was disconnected.
