ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine failure at 86370 miles while driving down the highway. Towed to Sullivan Tire, mechanic found 2 bad cylinders and the lifters had destroyed the cam, requiring a total engine replacement. This mechanical failure of the engine was sudden and unexpected, placing myself, my children, and other drivers at risk of injury on a very busy highway (MA-24). Discussing this with the mechanic (Sullivan Tire), this malfunction has been confirmed by a GMC certified dealer and service shop (McLaughlin Chevrolet) that there are several other Chevrolet/GMC vehicles that GMC technicians and third-party technicians that are reporting have had the same mechanical failure in the engine. I am unaware if this has been inspected by the manufacturer. It has only been inspected by third-party technicians at Sullivan Tire in Bridgewater, MA. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle started jumping when switching gears or when accelerating from a stop. The drive shaft ended up separating from the transfer case, lost 3rd gear in the transmission, and blew the 8th cylinder in the motor. I am seeing that this is a common issue with the year, make, and model. Yet not all that were affected were actually included in the recall from 2020. We luckily were not in an accident from this incident however, this has cost us well over $10,000 in repairs. This issue needs to be addressed and GM needs to fix this problem. This could cause an accident.

Potential Consequences:
The transmission jerks when shifting or just driving as you’re accelerating and as you’re at cruising speed, the transmission has a shutter that creates a vibration through the truck. My safety was put at risk as I did not know if the transmission was gonna fail as bad as the truck was shaking. The dealer reproduced the same problems that I was having. Said the fix was to change out transmission oil with the new transmission oil. Had to pay for a flush and filter at 56,000 miles. There were no warning lights coming on for the vehicle. Just the shattering of the transmission.

Potential Consequences:
The wiring harness of the vehicle was placed too close to the frame and began wearing the wires down until they broke. Once this happened, the vehicle turned off while driving and would not restart for a few minutes. The vehicle would turn off repeatedly every few minutes leaving me stranded in the middle of the street until I could get the truck to turn off and restart. There was no warning on when the engine would shut off, it just happened randomly while driving and while in park.
