  1. I have less than a year on an Icon Stage 2 kit ICOK73062T and the front coilover spring just broke. Anyone else have an issue? I'm hoping they will replace it.
  2. Thank you! How do I find out who the GM regional rep is?
  3. It's kind of funny to me. The truck brand new had a 3yr 36,000 warranty but my new engine gets a 100,000 warranty. BUT...this issue I have now seems to be related to electrical or my fuel pump which isn't going to be covered. Well the fuel pump might be because it only has 4,000 miles on it but I don't know yet.
  4. Yeah, I guess I need to take it back to them. I would love to trade it in on something but I won't get anything close to what I owe on it.
  5. Honestly it's hard to explain the stress this whole thing has caused for me. I mean yeah, it's just a truck, but it's an expensive one and it's my only vehicle which I need for my job and to haul my kids around (I'm a single dad). I also don't have money laying around to pay for any of this. My experience with my Titan was 400k miles of worry free driving so I guess my expectations were skewed a little bit. So....I had been arguing with the dealer and GM customer service about the known lifter issues for 5 straight weeks at that point and kept hearing "I'm sorry sir, there is nothing we can do" which wears on you. So the next morning after seeing the mess under the hood I got ready and started driving to the dealer to basically ****** them out over it. I got half way there and just decided to turn around because 1) I don't have confidence they would fix anything right anyhow, 2) I just don't have the energy to fight it anymore. They all just look at me like I'm being a unrealistic jerk due to the mileage. Idk, it's hard to explain, but yeah I should've taken it back.
  6. My #4 Lifter failed on my 2019 6.2L at 112K miles. Took out the cam too. Was told either $6k to fix the existing engine or 8k for a completely new engine. I opted for the new engine and now have 4k miles on that. That was $9,400 out of pocket and GM refused to help in any way. They also said I needed a new fuel pump so they replaced that. The truck is now broke down again but it's not engine related I think the fuel pump is out again. Idk....honestly the worst experience of a purchase in my life and will never give GM another penny that I don't have to to fix this piece of junk. It has me super stressed out and depressed honestly. It shouldn't be right for them to screw someone over on a known issue. I don't have that kind of money laying around to drop thousands into this truck.
  7. Hi, I apologize in advance for this long post but I am honestly stressed out about this and don't really know what I should do. I am in sales and my territory is in multiple states so I drive a lot of highway miles. I have a 2019 Sierra SLT with a 6.2L and pretty much all the options you can get on the SLT model. I currently have 116,000 miles on it. I have not been happy with this truck from the start because it has left me stranded multiple times. 1,200 miles the solenoid went out that allows it to come out of park and I couldn't shift out of park. - Covered under warranty Trailer module was replaced due to lights not working. - Covered under warranty I used the GMC app to start my truck once while I was out of town and my truck then had no brakes and went into limp mode. - Covered under warranty. Dealer said it was because of a bug in the software update. Idler pulley needed replaced because it was whining really loud In January this year when the truck had 112K miles on it my engine failed. It was a broken lifter which bent the push rod and damaged the cam. Not covered under warranty and the dealer said I had a choice of $6,000 to fix the existing engine or I could put a new engine in for $8,000. I opted for the new engine. This took about 5 weeks to get back. $8K was to cover labor and everything. When I went to pick it up the bill was $9,400 and I was told that my oil pressure sensor was damaged in the changeover so I was charged for that, as well as they said I now needed a new fuel pump even though that was fine when my engine failed. That along with a $1,500 rental car bill because it's my only vehicle, I had near $11,000 out of pocket for this. I have seen the posts about the GM lifter issues and that is what happened to me but GM refused to help in any way. I got my truck back and opened the hood. The factory wiring harnesses were just laying in the truck not clipped into the factory clips anywhere. The bolts that hold my air filter box and coolant overflow reservoir are completely missing. There is a bracket wire strapped to the wire harness that is just hanging there. There is a liquid gurgling sound from the dash which makes me think they didn't purge the air out of the coolant properly or something like that. That's all things that I could see at a quick glance, there are more I'm sure. But the reason I took it to the dealer and not some random guy down the street is because I wanted it done right and that wasn't the case. I have 4,000 miles on the new engine. For the past few weeks when I start it it will stall sometimes. Then it would stall as soon as I put it in reverse. Then it was stall a few times until I get going but then be fine. Yesterday I went to the store and when I left the truck was running rough. It stalled multiple times leaving the parking lot and would surge kind of. When I was leaving it stalled as I was pulling out onto a major road.....I was able to limp it home. I don't know what to do. I don't feel I should have these issues on a 2.5yr old $60,000 truck. I don't want to take it to the dealer that did the engine swap because I don't trust them. I can't afford to get another rental car for a month. I can't afford to keep putting thousands of dollars into this truck. This has been the worst experience of a vehicle I've ever had. My last truck was a 2005 Nissan Titan. I bought it new and sold it in good working order when I bought this truck. I had that for 14yrs, 430,000 miles and NO MAJOR ISSUES.
  8. Yes, I think that is the blinking issue which I have reluctantly learned to live with. It's the check trailer wiring alert that I can't deal with and I'm asking to see if that is an issue related to how the truck detects the brakes or something or if I have a true wiring issue. I just don't want to rewire the trailer brakes for no reason. The brakes function fine, it's just the error messages I get.
  9. Hi, I have a 2019 Sierra 1500 SLT and I've been having frustrating problems with pulling a trailer for 2yrs now. When I first bought the truck my drivers side blinker didn't work on my trailer which worked on my old truck and the trailer is only a few years old. I was finally able to convince the dealer it was the truck and they replaced the trailering module and that fixed the problem. I still have an issue though. I get random check trailer wiring messages. Sometimes it's every 10 seconds, sometimes it's every 30min. I have it narrowed down I believe to the brakes because it seems to happen more often when I apply the brakes and when I let off I get the error. I also will get random "trailer brakes detected" messages when driving and sometimes a trailer brake gain not recalled message. To troubleshoot it I disconnected the trailer brake wire inside of the 7 pin connector and the errors completely go away so that is why I think it's related to the trailer brakes. I've put on 2 brand new 7 pin connectors with no changes. All the wiring connections on the trailer look good and I have good ground on the trailer. So I guess my question is, is this a normal thing that I just have to deal with? It literally drives me insane when on long trips. I don't want to completely redo the brake wiring if it's a common problem. If that will do the trick i'm fine doing it, just don't want to spend that time to do it if it will keep doing the same thing. My trailer lights also blink every 10secs which i've read on here is normal so I don't know if this is normal too. The trailer is a NEO all aluminum 7x14 enclosed trailer with LED lighting.
