STRUCTURE04/29/2026
While traveling at highway speed, the hood-mounted air vent (factory-installed component) on my 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 HD suddenly detached from the vehicle without warning. Upon separation, the vent was propelled backward, striking both the hood and the windshield. The incident occurred during normal driving conditions, with no prior indication of looseness, damage, or defect in the component. The force of the detachment caused damage to the hood and posed a significant safety risk, as the debris impacted the driver’s line of sight and could have resulted in loss of control or injury. There were no external factors (such as collision or road debris) that contributed to the failure. This appears to be a failure of the factory-installed component and its mounting system. Safety Concern: This type of failure presents a serious hazard not only to the vehicle occupants but also to other motorists. A detached component at highway speed could strike nearby vehicles, cause sudden driver distraction, or lead to more severe accidents.

Engine lag and performance drops while driving vehicle. Vehicle was taken to the dealership and remained at dealership for five days. Employee was given permission to drive the vehicle to experience the issue. Issue was confirmed by dealership, but they stated it's one of three issues and they would have to repair all three issues at my cost to figure out what's causing the engine lag.

Water leak at the rear window leading to mold growth. Continues to leak after repaired twice by dealership.
AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER09/26/2025
I tried to honk the horn when a car started to come into my lane and discovered that it was not working. I took it to the dealership, and they said it needed a new steering wheel as the contacts that operate the horn were faulty. they told me that the steering wheel airbag would not be operational due to this problem until it was fixed. This is a 2022 pickup with only 10,000 miles on it. I’ve never had to use the Horn before I, so to discover that the issue is pretty serious was disconcerting, and of course my 36 month bumper-to-bumper is used up. This vehicle is basically brand-new, and there should be a recall on this vehicle.

POWER TRAIN09/05/2025
While driving on the interstate we were exiting to pull into a rest area while slowing down the rear wheels momentarily locked up and the truck downshifted hard and abruptly with that happening the check engine light came on along with a decreased power message. We pulled into a parking spot during so we tried to shift into reverse and it didn’t want to shift into reverse, we tried this for a while. We finally got it into reverse and we were able to back out of the parking spot. When we tried shifting to drive we encountered the same issue. The vehicle did not want to go into drive. Once finally into drive it did not want to shift into any higher gears. It was essentially stuck in one of the gears. We made it to a GMC dealer on the next exit -we drove on the side of the interstate to get there- when we arrived we had them run the codes and they told us it was a transmission control valve which GMC has had a major recall on. While we had this “fixed” at a different dealership previously in march of 2025 it only entailed “updating the software” involving the transmission control valve. We had to leave the truck at the GMC dealer that we were able to ‘limp’ to in Crestview FL. We’ve been told our truck now needs an entirely new transmission that is going to cost $7,000. We had a similar issue right after the “software update for the transmission control valve” on march 20, 2025. The software was updated roughly a week before that incident which seemed to have cleared itself because it was momentarily and never happened again until now. Our safety was at risk because we had to drive on the side of the interstate to get to a shop because we were out of town and a tow truck was going to cost between 600-1000 dollars to get home.

TIREScrash07/06/2025
The tire Goodyear LT275/65R20 are the original tires on the truck when purchased. The tires have been rotated and balanced at the dealership routinely, approximately 42,000 miles on the set. On [XXX], I was travelling [XXX] here in NC when I felt a bump as if I had hit something in the road. I pulled off to the shoulder to inspect for damage or a flat tire. The left rear tire had completely lost its tread, only the steel belts were showing. Thus caused significant damage to the fender and tailgate of the truck. The tire remained inflated. Another driver pulled over in front of me and stated that the separated part had damaged his car. The NC State patrol was called and a report made for insurance. No one was injured to my knowledge. I changed the tire and was able to complete my trip. This could have caused a serious problem with a very serious accident. Fortunately, no one was injured. There were no warning that this might happen. I have sent pictures of the damage to my truck to the insurance company. This makes me very uneasy about these tires, I may need to purchase an entirely new set of tires from another manufacturer. I am not sure Goodyear is a decent brand of tire. The police report number is [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM05/28/2025
• What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The issue appears to be with the gear shifter assembly and/or park position sensor within the power train system. The vehicle fails to detect that it is in “Park,” even when the gear lever is physically in the Park position. Yes, the vehicle and component are available for inspection upon request. ⸻ • How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This malfunction prevents the vehicle from shutting off properly and displays a “Shift to Park” message even when parked. This creates a risk of the vehicle rolling away if the parking brake is not engaged and prevents secure shutdown, potentially draining the battery or creating confusion in an emergency. It compromises both driver and public safety. ⸻ • Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the issue was reproduced and acknowledged by a certified GMC dealership service department. They noted it is a known issue affecting other GM vehicles but stated there is no open recall or warranty extension currently available for my specific model. ⸻ • Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has only been inspected by a GMC-certified dealership. No inspection has been conducted by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. ⸻ • Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, a “Shift to Park” message appears on the dash even when the shifter is correctly placed in the Park position. This message began appearing intermittently and has now become a consistent issue over the past few weeks.
