Recalls on the 2018 GMC Sierra 2500
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

MY 2018 GMC SIERRA HD EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT OR OVERLOAD, CAUSING A THERMAL EVENT THAT MELTED AREAS AROUND THE REAR DEFROST CIRCUIT. LOTS OF SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL, BUT LUCKILY, I DID NOT SEE FLAMES. THE EXACT ISSUE IS CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED UNDER GM RECALL# "N192265660 REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER THERMAL EVENTS", HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE ISSUE I HAD IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED AND I BELIEVE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I'VE ATTACHED A FEW IMAGES OF THE BURNED, MELTED AND BROKEN PARTS. AGAIN, I'M LUCKY THERE WAS ONLY SMOKE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND NO FIRE. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE

WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UNATTENDED, SMOKE WAS OBSERVED BY A PASSER-BY WHO CALLED THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. FIRE DEPT BROKE A WINDOW FOR ACCESS, EXTINGUISHED FIRE. HAULED VEHICLE AWAY FOR SAFEKEEPING. HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE AT A CONDO COMPLEX, VEHICLE PARKED FOR THE EVENING. HEAT INTENSITY AND MELTED PLASTIC INDICATED THAT FIRE OCCURRED IN CONSOLE AREA. VEHICLE WAS OFF, WE WERE ASLEEP, NOBODY HAD ACCESS TO INTERIOR OF VEHICLE. A PHONE CHARGER WAS PLUGGED IN, POSSIBLY ANOTHER CHARGER AS WELL.WE CONTACTED GM TO FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM. IT WAS DENIED, ACCORDING TO YVETTE YOUNG BECAUSE "GM COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE SO IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM." GM DID THREE INVESTIGATIONS, ONE BY THE ADJUSTER, AND TWO MORE THAT INCLUDED A "DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION." THIS WAS A TWO AND A HALF MONTH PROCESS. WE WERE NOTIFIED BY PHONE THAT THE CLAIM WAS DENIED AND THE LETTER THAT ARRIVED LAST WEEK IS ATTACHED. WE DON'T SMOKE, DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING COMBUSTIBLE IN OR NEAR THE AREA AND ARE CONCERNED THAT THE FIRE WAS RELATED TO THE CHARGERS. SOMETHING IN THAT VEHICLE ALLOWED THE CHARGERS TO OVERHEAT EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK WAS OFF, IN OUR OPINION. OUR CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS HAD BEEN IN A GARAGE OR HAD PEOPLE BEEN IN THE VEHICLE, LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN LOST. VEHICLE HAD 12,000 MILES ON IT.PURCHASED NEW, NO OBVIOUS CAUSE FOR THIS EVENT. EVENT OCCURRED AT BAY POINT IN PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA.

GM Duramax L5P diesel engine electrical connector for #4 fuel injector. This failure caused the Diesel exhaust brake, which controls downhill speed, to disengage, extreme shaking of the vehicle, emissions system warning and speed limiting. This occurred while descending a steep grade while towing a 34 feet long, 10,000 pound trailer. This is a known issue with this diesel engine and documented in GM Technical Service Bulletin 23-NA-027. Inspection and repair at a GM dealership confirmed a known issue with the #4 injector pigtail connector caused by improper wire routing and interference wit the Sound Shield and Valve Cover Heat Shield This was a sudden failure of the #4 pigtail connector with no advance warning. In addition to violent shaking of the vehicle, multiple warnings on the DIC indicating that the Diesel Brake was disengaged, the emission system had an issue, and speed would be limited.

The component that failed is the rear glass. Yes, it is available for inspection. The rear glass defogger stopped working and melted the tabs off of the glass and burned the tabs cover. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership and i was advised there is already a recall for this but apparently my vin does not fall under the recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Service Trailer Brake System Warning From time to time, this warning goes off in the vehicle and when it does, it does it constantly. When the warning is dismissed, it does it again seconds later. If it is not dismissed, it does it again seconds later. It is a persistent three ding double chiming that is not only constant, the vehicle is doing it without a trailer connected to it. The GM dealerships we have been to regarding this issue do not know how to fix it since the warning is as intermittent as it is persistent. Once one of the dealerships was finally able to observe the warning themselves, we were told because it does not cause the check engine light to come on, they are not given a code, therefore, they do not know how to address the issue. The Service Engine Brake System warning is not only a persistent auditory nuisance. The warning chime overrides any other audio capability of the vehicle and it will be the only thing the control panel shows. If the warning is dismissed, it comes right back. This means we cannot hear anything else in the vehicle, such as turn signals, and we cannot see anything else on the control panel, such as speed. We can only surmise this issue is some sort of an electrical system malfunction since we do not have a trailer connected to the vehicle when the Service Trailer Brake System warning is coming on. The vehicle has been presenting this persistent warning since we purchased it from a dealership in August of 2022 and the vehicle continues to present this persistent warning intermittently, which will last days to weeks at a time and is not corrected by the engine being turned off and restarted, no matter if the engine is shut off for minutes or days. How much time passes between the persistent Service Engine Brake System warning events can be less than one day to several months later.

Constant issues with glow plug failures, fuel rail failure, fuel pressure failure. Truck has been in the Gmc service regarding these issues constantly for the last year with a total of five repairs and replacement of glow plugs with releaning learning new plugs and now the 6th return to the shop they’re tearing down the fuel system. Malfunction and engine light consistently come on with the same occurring problems generating from the fuel system and glow plugs. Fuel mileage is absolutely terrible and lose of power hazardous to safety!!! Gmc has issued an extended warranty for 15 years and 150,000 miles, but cant and hasn’t found a repair for vehicle and just replaces the glow plugs just so they can fail again and again!!! They need to replace everything that needs to be done and if no fix they need LEMON Law The vehicle. This is ridiculous going back to the shop every two weeks I have my truck in the shop for a month to get it back, to put it back in the shop two weeks later, to have it back in the shop for a month. Since this start 17months ago I’ve only been able to put less then 7000 miles on the vehicle because GMC constantly has the truck! The is ridiculous when you’re paying $800 a month for your payment and insurance on your vehicle that you can’t drive because the manufacturer is constantly having to repair and replace the same thing over and over again

driving at 70mph, thread from tire blew.. That was in July, I went and purchased another tire from Bob King GMC Wilmington, NC. The first tire that blew was now discontinued so I purchased another Good Year . On Friday I noticed that another tire on my truck had a bubble along the threads again. It was also getting ready to blow like the first tire. I went to the dealer and they told me the tire I purchased (Good Year) was also discontinued... Please look into this matter.. They have faulty tires and this matter could have turned out with a death.. It isn't the dealers fault it is Good Year .... I have also read on line this isn't the first time people are complaining about the threads coming apart....

Low coolant warning light came on. I was towing a travel trailer on a very busy roadway with no place to pull off while pulling a trailer. I had to pull over to the shoulder to check the coolant level and make sure I didn’t cause major damage to my engine by letting it overheat. While waiting to let the engine cool down, I researched and found that this is a very common issue with L5P Duramax Engines in GM trucks and it is specifically related to a faulty coolant level sensor. As it turns out, my coolant level was fine and there was no issue. The danger posed by me pulling over and waiting for well over an hour on the side of the busy backroad with my son in the truck was not a necessary one. It appears that this is a well known issue that is not being addressed by GM.

I have a 2018 GMC Sierra Duramax Quad-Cab and when it is connected to either my boat, stock trailer, or cargo trailer the lights and electric trailer brakes on the trailers do not work. and the chime from the "Service Trailer Brake" indicator sounds and doesn't stop until I unplug my trailer harness from my truck making it a distraction and an unsafe situation when trying to navigate through traffic(changing lanes, stopping, and other functions needed when hauling trailers). The dealership said it was a module and specified which one and so I elected to replace it myself and it wasn't the issue. I choose to do the work myself as they quoted me a price of $700.00+ to repair the problem.
