UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost power, the engine began knocking, and the vehicle began to decelerate quickly until there was complete engine failure. The contact was able to coast to the emergency lane on the side of the highway. After the failure, several unknown warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. The vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the engine was replaced. However, with less than 3,000 miles on the new engine, the knocking sound reoccurred while starting the vehicle and while the vehicle was idling. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure and determined that the engine needed to be repaired, but confirmed that an engine replacement was not covered under warranty or recall. The manufacturer was informed of the first failure; however, they were not informed of the latest failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,457.

POWER TRAIN
When putting the truck in reverse it did not go, then suddenly squealed the tires and engaged reverse. This happened 2 days in a row. On the 3rd day, it would not go into reverse at all and had to be pushed in neutral from a parking space to be able to drive forward. At that time, it was at first jerky but did go forward. Subsequently, I did not drive it until my appointment with the dealership and I was able to put it in reverse.

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.

ENGINE
2022 GMC Sierra has a P1098 code. This code has to do with a faulty coolant control valve. This causes the engine fan to run constantly and displays on the screen "Reduced Acceleration, Drive with Caution". The truck does not have any power when this happens, which is 99% of the time. This makes using the truck very difficult in high traffic areas and pulling a loaded trailer. Apparently GM knows about this and is not getting the part to correct the problem to the dealerships in a timely manner. My truck was diagnosed with this problem over 2 weeks ago and still waiting on the part.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

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.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Every time I pull the truck into my garage or a parking stall at low speeds while using the front park sensor it will shut off with the automatic start stop while still in motion. Then you have to let off the brake pedal for it to start and sometimes the vehicle will search forward.

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] .

STRUCTURE:BODY
After completion of a recall fix by the dealer for the grill while driving the front grill deflector detached striking the front hood and top of the cab before flying behind my vehicle barely missing a following vehicle and settling alongside the road. I pulled over, inspected the front of my vehicle to assure it was safely drivable. Once I removed loose pieces I returned and retrieved the top grill from the roadside then drove directly to the dealer who completed the recall fix. They have ordered a full grill for replacement. The recall fix/repair failed within day of completion. GM Program # N242490120 Status Complete NHTSA 25V060 Date Issued: 2025-02-06 Description General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain 2022 model year GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with chrome front grille deflectors. One or more of the attachments that hold the front upper grille deflector in place may fracture over time. If all eight attachment points break, the deflector may detach from the vehicle while driving. Safety Risk Description If a front grille deflector detaches unexpectedly while driving, there is increased risk of a crash. Repair Description Dealers will reinforce or repair all attachment points on the chrome front grille deflector. Recall Completed 2025-08-21
