Top Grill/Hood trim piece - it is separate from the main Grill. It detached and flew off at interstate speed. Thank God it missed several cars behind me. The passenger side corner came loose and before I could safely make my way off the interstate the piece ripped all the way across and flew over the top of the truck. May have gone 30 feet in the air prior to landing on the asphalt between the two lanes.

The upper part of the grill was rattling while I was on a 270 mile road trip. I stopped, inspected it, and found multiple mounting points cracked. I did not feel it was safe to continue driving with it being so loose so I installed four zip ties to continue my trip back home. Safety recall N242490120 had already been completed which means this is the second time the plastic clips on the grill have failed.

While driving at high way speeds the radio volume went to maximum high. I was unable to turn the volume down by any inputs. Mute was inoperative. Volume controls were overridden by the glitch. My hearing has been affected as well as the infant that was in the back seat. This is a serious condition that has now happened 4 times. No assistance from General Motors. My ears have been ringing for 3 straight days now. This issue had happened since I bought the truck new in 2022.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Driving down the road, the radio volume will randomly rapidly increase to full volume. There is no way to turn the volume down. This is very startlingly and can lead to an accident due to the driver panicking and trying to turn off the radio or turn the volume down. It has happened approximately 5 times since I have owned the vehicle. Thie first time was when the vehicle was only a few months old. It happens so infrequently that it cannot be reproduced. It has not been confirmed nor inspected by a dealer. There is no warning as to when it might happen, nor any similar circumstances when it happens. The only solution I have found is to stop, turn off the vehicle and open the door for a minute or two, which is difficult to do in traffic.

My telematics onstar unit went bad at 37,200 miles. No onstar, no SOS, no hands free driving, etc. I paid roughly 3k for the extended subscription servies for three years. Like many others who have this problem, dealer/GM will not replace the faulty unit even though I still had time left on my on my subscription. Apparantly its a common problem.

I received a new engine. Went in 8/15 - 9/10. Truck was dead on 9/22 when State Farm sent out a guy to replace the windshield that came back broken from the dealership. I had put in a new battery on 4/17, before I even knew about the recall. I got the battery out and replaced under warranty from AutoZone. Before we connected the 2nd new battery, my friend checked the oil...just for fun. There's barely any oil on the dipstick. Service guy told me I'm checking the oil wrong, that it needs to be running for a while, so that's why it's reading low. Okay!!!! LOL. 7 days later, truck was dead again. Last week, 10/21, I'm told by GM Customer Support to Not have it towed in yet until I hear back from a senior advisor, after telling her my long winded story. She said it would be within 48 hours. 72 hours passed and nothing. Supposedly I'm receiving a call at 12:51pm today, yes that's correct, that's literally what they told me when I called in yesterday. I'm having the truck towed in today, 10/29. I continue to be jerked around, ignored, lied to from all angles of GM. My truck has been inoperable and/or unsafe to drive for over 6 months now, costing me all of my income from my 2 jobs that require my truck. GM needs to be held accountable.

My OnStar module failed after 2 years, causing my check engine light to illuminate. The replacement has been unavailable for a year due to the large number of consumers fighting for a limited supply of replacement parts. This has placed myself and my passengers at undo risk as my ability to access the key safety features associated with OnStar, including but not limited to: crash detection, emergency notifications, and location assistance. This problem was first diagnosed at Bristol Chevrolet and then later inspected and confirmed at Crabtree GMC.

NHTSA complaint #11692637 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The vehicle has stalled on multiple occasions while driving/shortly after driving, creating a serious safety hazard. On one occasion, GMC arranged towing because the truck stalled down the road and would not restart. GMC and the dealer have been notified each time. Since June 2025, I have repeatedly sought completion of Recall L87 and repair of the stalling condition. The dealership has declined or failed to complete the recall/repair, citing staffing issues and later claiming they did not have the correct oil. This recall was announced in April 2025 and my truck has been to the service center many times since, at one point it was there for 2 weeks and yet no one can help me with the issue. The truck was in the dealer’s possession for approximately two weeks without repair of this in July of 2025. GMC Customer Care initially indicated a buyback could be considered, then later stated they cannot review for repurchase due to a stop/sell hold on L87. see attachments! The stop/sell hold now prevents me from selling or trading the vehicle, leaving me with an unsafe and depreciated truck that GMC and its dealer have not repaired. The truck is also approaching three years in service, which heightens my need for prompt resolution. These facts satisfy “substantial impairment” and “failure to repair within a reasonable number of attempts/period of time” under Louisiana Lemon Law (La. R.S. 51:1941 et seq.) and constitute breach of warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The repeated stalling establishes a safety defect, and the extended time out of service and inability/refusal to complete the recall meet statutory standards for relief. This put my son, myself and other in direct risk and is continuing without the proper resolution.

Recently, I just purchased my vehicle from Wally Edgar Chervolet with no open recalls on the vehicle. As of September 29th, 2025 for my very first oil change on the vehicle I was made aware for 4 OPEN Recalls which was told to me at the time of purchase. The dealership closed the all recalls without actually checking my make the vehicle was safe to drive. The Recall Numbers are: N252510321, N222362040, N212356230, N222357620.

The front chrome grill indicated in the recall came off while my wife and I were driving at 70 miles per hour. A big rig was passing in the on coming lane at the time. The part came off striking our front windshield almost causing a wreck and causes emotional trauma. It was a very scary experience. Our local dealer supposedly ordered the part two months or more ago from GM. They told us two days after the failure the part was still not available. I called GM who stayed the part was shipped well over a month and a half ago. Someone isn’t telling the truth. This incident should never have happened to us since it was a known safety recall. It should have been replaced.

I was sitting outside , and then all of a sudden my tailgate on my truck opened upped. And I heard there’s a recall on the latch but apparently it’s not on my truck when I looked it up on Google. It does say some 1500s have the problem. I am very worried that it’s gonna open up in a parking lot on a car or a concrete bumper. Can you please look into this? My truck is going in for service next month and I would like to get it fixed with no charge of course because of the recall. Please call me if you have any questions. [XXX] .

My 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 shows message "Shift To Park" when turning off, even though it has been shifted to park. Have to play with shifter to get it to stop, sometimes turning it back on and off will do trick. Locking it with remote works most of the time but this last time it took over 10 minutes .

The radiator needs to be replaced on the 3.0L due to a leak in the seam of the radiator. The dealer has stated that they have had a few in the shop recently due to the same issue. There are a lot of complaints online that have the same issue, and customers have had to pay $3000 for the same replacement.

The OnStar module is no longer working. When I purchased the vehicle, the green light did not turn on. I called customer service, and they advised me to take it to the dealership since they were unable to connect to the vehicle. I am unable to contact emergency services in case of an accident, and I cannot access services like remote location and remote start from the mygmc app. I have seen several people online state that their module failed as well. It's a common occurrence that falls onto the customer to pay for. An update to the module seems to be the reason so many modules are failing.

The dealer is telling me there is a faulty engine coolant, flow control valve on this vehicle and multiple other people are having the same issue. The part is on backorder and takes months to arrive. They are telling me I can drive the vehicle, but it becomes a safety issue because the engine thinks it is overheating And goes into reduced acceleration mode, which can impact safely driving the vehicle. Pulling out in traffic and not being able to accelerate can be extremely dangerous.
