POWER TRAIN
At only 72k on the truck while traveling at 70mph down the freeway the transmission started slipping out of gear causing the motor to rev up causing a loss of power. Luckily I managed to get the vehicle off of the freeway without incident. It seemed to go back to normal than continued to slip within 3-4 miles. It turns out that the transmission pump failed and damaged the entire transmission. The truck was taken into the dealer in approximately 2018/19 because of a transmission shudder, to which the dealership said it was normal and there were no issues with the truck.

POWER TRAIN
I have been experiencing this problem for years, but recently it has been getting worse. When accelerating from a stop there is a shudder in the transmission. The wheels feel like they slip or vibrate upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed. Sometimes the wheels don't spin, and I have to put the truck in 4-wheel drive for the wheels to catch. Sometimes while at a steady speed, like on a highway, the transmission slips and catches quickly, like little thumps. I only have 62,000 miles on my truck. I do not haul heavy loads or tow a trailer.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP A INTERSTATE INCLINE. WITH NO AREA TO PULL OVER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN MANUAL MODE TO 4TH GEAR AND MADE IT OFF THE INTERTSTATE. I DID NOT NOTIFY ANY INDIVIDUALS AND CALLED A FRIEND WITH A TRAILER TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
My rear glass broke yesterday with my two year old daughter in the back seat. I was informed that there was a previous recall on this and its now closed. If you look in the attached photos you can see it appears the rear defrost is what caused it to shatter. The dealership is telling me that there is no recalls.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
Rear camera view intermittently displays a blank or distorted image. This issue occurs almost every time when in reverse. In most occurrences, the screen will alternate between a blank screen with a warning indication and the video display several times within the same occurrence. After the video display reappears, the camera view sometimes freezes and does not display a live feed. These issues contribute to considerable risk and liability when the vehicle is in reverse. This issue is identical to a current recall on another vehicle. Please reference safety recall notice 22S06/ NHTSA Recall 22V082 for correlated information. The dealership refuses to acknowledge the issue and it has already contributed to physical damage when backing into my garage.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The touch screen controller is constantly going haywire. It’s very distracting while operating the vehicle. The screen will switch from maps that you are following by itself to the radio, home page or just freeze. The radio can’t be controlled, the Wi-Fi and satellite systems switch on and off at random. There’s many complaints listed on the internet about the issue. GM wants $675 to replace the system on a 4 year old vehicle.
