I'm going to wait about 6 months before I use my rear power window. That way when it breaks they will have parts.

I am really close to buying a new one, because of both need and want. Having a hard time wanting to buy one of these though with the issues stated.

 

I went through a nasty battle with GM back in April over a 1 year old Tahoe that was in the shop 8 times in 4 months for the same problem, and was told it was normal....BS. Left the wife stranded 3 times.

 

Long time GM fan so I chalked it up to a lemon and traded after the last repair for one identical to the other. I know smart right.

 

No probs with it but I took a beating on the trade even though the dealer was very helpful.

 

When you have to deal with the jackasses GM refers to as field represenatives it will be a fight that's not in the customers favor to win, in my experience.

 

Leaning hard towards a Ford Raptor, just hate to forgo a purchase with all the GM card points I have earned.

I also was leaning towards buying a ford raptor! One problem for me was that it would take 10 weeks to get because they can only be made to order. I'm having a lot of problems with my truck. Every time I take it tho, they tell me nothing is wrong with it it's just me. They look at the computer and find no error codes, as far as i know, the computer can't always tell u what you can hear or or predict what's gonna happen. Honestly I'm tired of driving to the dealership and leaving my truck there cause all I hear at the end is, nothing is wrong with your truck or we can't fix it yet!

Same problem here. I took it in once no dash light but truck kept sputtering. They said may be bad gas. Drained the tank and filled up at dealer. They said it was fixed. Before I made it home from the dealer, 35 miles away, doing same thing again. Replaced both catylitic converters twice. Entire wiring harness to fuel pump 2 fuel pumps, and several different sensors. This and still no admittance of a lemon. Dealer did try and obviously changed every part of the system that the so called trouble codes pointed to.

Just got a 2014 LTZ 2 days ago...when I drift with foot off the accelerator, at any speed going straight on smooth pavement, I'm getting an inconsistent knocking, clunking noise from the rear, probably the differential. It doesn't occur from downshifting of the tranny...I'm talking a consistent speed while drifiting, and then all of the sudden some knocks and clunking. I have no issues or noises while accelerating, just upon deceleration, at all speeds. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't. I don't really feel anything in the seat...just the noise. I am pissed! I've captured the noise on my cell phone, just in case I get the "We don't hear anything" excuse from the dealership. The one noise lasted for 8 full seconds. It's going back soon for examination.

 

Think it could just be something simple rattling underneath? I'm not that lucky.

To update my post above from 2 days ago...the master transmission tech (seasoned mechanic) took a ride with me to hear the above noise. Luckily, he heard it...many times. Because it had only been 2 days since purchasing this vehicle, the dealership decided to void the original contract and gave me all money back. I don't think the truck had actually been titled yet, so they get to still set it as new to someone else. The tech thought it was an exhaust issue as his first guess. He wanted to "rip out the entire back end of the exhaust" for starters. Screw that.

 

So, in the end, I got this today instead. 2014 Sierra, All-Terrain package. Love the wheels! Gun metal, painted gray 20's...and the painted front and rear bumpers, and grill. I just gotta add running boards, spray the bed, throw on my Extang tonneau.

Love your truck! I was a little too impatient to wait for the all terrain to come out. Maybe next time!

Thanks! When I saw it I knew it was the one. I was actually there to pick up a loaded black SLT, but then I saw this lovely beast and plans changed!

 

Now, do I go with black running boards or chrome? I'm thinking black, since I may replace the trim on doors with body matching paint, black window trim.

Black that's my opinion

I would go with the automatic runningboards. The ones that drop when you open the door and tuck away when you close it. It's only a few hundred more, but well worth it.

I did read a majority of the thread and unless the calendar works differently where you live by my count he had the defective truck for under a month before GM took it back. That would barely be enough time for the lemon law to take effect. I actually worked in a dealer service department and was involved in a couple buy backs that I can remember and there is a set process for it. Having a brand new vehicle be like that would be very upsetting but GM did right by him to me and considering every new vehicle I purchased had a slip of paper I had to sign stating I understood the lemon law process the fact anyone is surprised by how it works is silly.

If it was your new 2014 truck that was not repairable yet GM was not willing to do a buy back would it be a mole hill? This guy went through hell until he finally got his buy back and replacement truck. Did you even follow his adventure?

 

I read the whole thread, it sucks but he didn't go through "hell". And he got a brand new replacement truck, didn't take very long either. The whole ordeal started and ended in three weeks. I've had smaller problems not vehicle related take as long as a year to get straightened out. Not to mention he had a 2014 Sierra SLT as loaner for the whole time, it's not like they gave him a Focus to drive while they had his truck.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
