STRUCTURE:BODY
I was driving on a highway when the front grill deflector flew off of my vehicle and broke my driver's side windshield wiper. The incident scared me and made me jump and I'm not sure where the part went after it flew over my wind shield but it could have hit the car behind me. The part in question was part of recall 25V060. I took the vehicle to the dealership, and they said they had already completed the recall in June of 2025 and that GMC would not cover the cost of fixing it. I see there is a new query for this exact problem RQ26003.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
After the recall was completed for the propulsion update and oil weight of 0-20 to 0-40 the truck started experiencing engine jerking and noise while driving. The MPG decreased significantly after the engine was replaced at 22k miles, driving on the interstate cruise control at 80mph the engine seized and I was almost smashed by a simi-truck. No steering, no power whatsoever. I was pulling on the steering wheel to get the truck off the freeway and out of the way. Fast forward around 70k miles, all the while I could deal with loss of MPG after engine replacement. No problems. Then came the recall and reflashing of the firm/software and a few months later I was making an u-turn when all a sudden the engine made a loud bang and bad tapping noise came from the engine. I could barely make it to the dealership where I bought the truck maybe 2 miles from where it happened. The dealership service center had the truck for a week then told me to come pick it up there is nothing they could do under warranty. All valve lifters except #3 are blown. GMC says the engine is not under warranty and I must pay $17k for a new engine.

POWER TRAIN
Purchased this 2022 GMC AT4 2500HD in 2022. Drove off the lot and traveled 40 miles home. Got hom,000e and pulled out of my driveway and noticed terrible bump in second gear I believe. Notified dealer and returned truck for them to replace 2 valve bodies. One week later the truck experienced terribel bumps in a downshift fashion at slow speeds, like it's downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. Returned truck and they replaced transmission. Problem improved some but now with 48,000 miles if your in slow speed downshifting world around 10 mph, it will lock up or hard bump that makes you think you've hit someone in front of you when you're in heavy traffic. It's been doing this at random times since new tranmission was installed. It feels like a lock-up situation. No indicators or messages show up on vehichle. I've made several compaints to dealer with no luck to this point.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights are prone to get water in which shorts out a module and loss of headlight. Happened tonight while driving in the dark. Flickering occured in the driver side as the passenger side failed a few nights ago. Seeing a trend online of others having the same problem. Loss of lighting at night is a severe risk of driving at high speeds

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
This report shows 4 more new attempts to repair the drop in power, bucking, surging, and lurching that my truck has been doing since May 2026, after the L87 Engine replacement. This issue has caused me to come very close to rear ending a few vehicles, including a Deer Park police officer. It has caused me to run through red lights unexpectedly. The vehicle has had a case open with GM Corp. Customer Care, Case(s) 95259917 (OLD), Case # 108994166 current case (Phone, Instagram). The problems are dangerous because the truck can begin shutting down and feel as if its stopping due to being stuck between gears or maybe torque converter. It happens on the highway at different speeds. It happens in city, stop and go traffic. The lunging forward comes into play with no prior warning. No lights, no messages on the instrument cluster. The dealer had me come in and drive the vehicle to show one of the managers what is happening while I am commuting. It has been confirmed EVERYTIME I was told there is no problem. I am attaching the latest work orders related to the issues after the engine replacement. For the past 6 months this truck is in the shop or stuck in my driveway more than it is driven or used. It is medically necessary that I have transportation available 24/7. I am under the care of several specialists since I was diagnosed and treatment for cancer began. Notice there are TWO work orders NUMBERED "63481" They are attached. ONE the third attempt dated (8-28-26) printed when i picked it up my ADAS was replaced and it has AVISRentCar, I paid for. Second "63481" forth attempt dated (9-15-26) printed when i picked it up after a Transmission relearn AGAIN (duplicate W.O. #) This one has Enterprise Rental I paid for. Now a FIFTH attempt to repair the same issue (9/21-9/29) This time they replaced the transmission valve body. Now, the truck is in the shop AGAIN, a Sixth time for the same problem. No issues found. I tested it again to show them. I am also attaching FTC report
