Follow-up:

 

GM's complaint line answer: there is nothing we can do. I asked, I will need to take it to work and will open it about 30 times a day and it might break if I force it to open. GM answer: No problem if it breaks it is under warranty... It is ashamed that it needs to break before it gets fixed !

 

Yesterday I picked up the truck from service where they have done nothing because the truck liftgate showed no sign of defect. As soon as they brought it out it had happend in front of them and they continued to say that they have no bulletin...WOW

 

Here is the video I took today...

Ok....The truck was back at Serra Buick-GMC-Cadillac in Washington, MI for another six days and they waited AGAIN for them to observe the liftgate defect. GM told them to take the shims out from the spoiler and for them it worked....they called, told us it is ready and fixed and went back to get the truck, got it home and NOT WORKING. See video.

 

NOT ONLY that but the entire tailgate - liftgate is getting loose, twisting and it slams shut when it closes. Does not work properly.

This is insane! You can literally see the spoiler deforming when it binds against the roof in your video. It amazes me that this problem perplexes them. Great techs they have!

I am also having this problem. I bought mine in April and it has done it several times. Dealership cannot make it happen for them.

Please help me find a solution. It makes a loud pop then continues to open.

 

I am also having trouble with drivers seat moving when stopping, starting, or turning.

 

I am also having trouble with a scrubbing noise in the steering wheel. Seems to be in afternoon when hot. more turning to the right.

 

Of course the dealership did not find anything.

Insane!!!! Do service guys not do their own troubleshooting anymore!! The videos clearly show the problem!

 

Guess they sit and wait for GM to tell them what to do so the service department gets that warranty payment.

 

Seriously, ridiculous!

I am experiencing the same issue as of today on my 2015 black LTZ Tahoe. Just dropped it off at the dealership in Costa Mesa, CA, and the service manager was completely surprised to see I had the EXACT same issue as the black Suburban in front of me in the service line. Two black cars, same dealership with this issue within the HOUR.

 

This is completely unacceptable for a brand new $70k SUV in my opinion, and I seriously hope GM jumps on this issue ASAP. I will keep everyone posted on what they say/do.

Why should GM jump on this ASAP? Apparently people keep buying these vehicles at outrageously inflated prices, even though the quality has gone to crap. When they stop buying them, GM will get their act together or go under.Only the customers have the power to put a stop to this.

....well that is a rather disingenuous response (typical) from customer service. Among the fundamental issues is we are not customers of General Motors. We are customers of the Dealer, who, in turn, is the customer of GM operating under some rather strict constraints. So basically, if you have a problem with your vehicle, GM tosses the problem over the transom to the Dealer to resolve...even if that problem was caused by or is the fault of GM! You'd think that might work but since there is a real serious failure to communicate (equally) to the dealer community, the dealer is handcuffed. The dealer's ability to work through the issues with GM will be directly related to dealer size and volume. If you live in a small market, you're effectively toast. All GM CAC can do is say "sorry" or "apologize" (they really aren't sorry...it's their job to say that) and as quickly as possible dump it off on someone else (like the dealer). Follow up? Nah ... unless you contact CAC again. And again. And again. I think they learned this from the airlines ... if you drag it out long enough the flight will depart...problem solved. CAC doesn't call back. You can send emails. You can call and leave voice mail and never get a response (and if you do it is "sorry") and never get forward progress. If you do actually speak with someone (or with the GM Regional employee with the dealer), what happens at the end of the conversation? "hey...it was that guy again [laughter]". Don't think so? I witnessed and overheard just exactly that. Poor sod just trying to resolve an issue he was promised would be resolved. I guess they didn't tell him how many years that would take.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
