My truck will be going in this Friday for a laundry list of issues my comment to the dealer was I think it needs an exorcism LOL. Primary being the SEL stating reduced acceleration see dealer followed on restart by a continue driving vehicle cleaning exhaust to which I have driven at interstate speed for over an hour with no change. Next start says reduced acceleration followed by the cleaning exhaust message. No idea what made the gremlins extra angry to start this but that is just one of the many strange occurrences I have experienced since owning this truck. Prior truck was a '21 Sierra Denali HD Black Diamond edition which I drove for a little over two years without a single warranty concern. Below is the list of things I have experienced since owning my '24 for just over a month and 3k miles
1. Passengers side mirror will not retract once extended on occasion this has happened twice now, push the extend/retract button twice or three times then passenger mirror will figure it out.
2. Passengers side power running board will not extend when door is opened this has as well happened twice now, number of ignition cycles resolved this as it would not extend period no matter how much you opened or closed the doors front and back on that side. Very interesting to watch a shorter person try to hop up into this beast with no assistance from a running board or step they have to get a running start and jump LOL my wife is short.
3. Very harsh 1st to 2nd shift when towing my camper '21 shifted smooth as silk regardless of load on truck this one is harsh then will studder at points along the way through the gears causing the truck to feel like it is surging.
4. Searching for GPS message on Google maps that stayed on no matter what I did for over 3 hours on a trip rendering nav completely useless, only thing I did to resolve was boot screen into safe mode then take it out.
5. Auto climate control has not been anywhere near auto a number of times now interior temperature of truck is HOT and fan will not go above low speed regardless of temperature set and yes the auto light is lit on the button. Numerous ignition cycles got that back in order for the time being at least.
6. WiFi hotspot works when it wants had to call OnStar to enable this has occurred once now where it will just show circling orb for WiFi Name and Password only fix was call OnStar they then had to enable as nothing in the truck would allow enable or disable for that matter.
7. This I know has its own thread but the check trailer wiring nightmare, I have a '24 Brinkley Z3100 RV that has now had the entire trailer wiring to the brakes including brakes themselves replaced due to this plague. I do have a Curt LED adapter between the trailer plug and truck as it sounds like LED trailer lights and GM trucks are NOT friends in any way shape or form and this has helped for the most part in keeping the annoyance level at least bearable but it still does occur in fact when pulling my trailer into its storage unit yesterday I got the message, nothing the whole trip down to the unit but just as backing in it shows up. Have also had where brake gain cannot be adjusted using the plus/minus button on module can push the buttons all you want screen just shows gain it was set at will not increase or decrease no check wiring message at the time even indicating there may be an issue.
Not trying to be overly critical of this truck but my confidence has definitely been lost haven't owned a vehicle in quite some time that has had this many issues. In fact last of note was a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM GT3. I have owned over 20 trucks over the past 22 years trading usually every year or two at the most primarily was a RAM guy until their design got stale with no updates since '09 really for them on the HD side short of the interior refresh in '15. Had one Ford in '17 F250 Lariat which was nice then back to RAM's until '21 when I bought my first GMC was totally impressed with the 10 speed and DMAX coming from the 6-speed Cummins combo in RAM, so decided to order my '24 in March of this year looking for the refreshed interior of the Ultimate that may have been my biggest mistake yet.
I certainly hope a few module flashes can get the gremlins out but considering the issues are not consistent short of the SEL and shift harshness I feel this may be just the start of the run around game with the dealer to try and get things back to good. Just posting in case anyone else is seeing some of this with their '24 I will post updates after its trip to the "doctor/priest/dealer" on Friday.
