Unfortunately it happens. Just think about all the other trucks produced that don't have that AC issue. Just like everything being manufactured, there will be some lemons. At least yours is still under warranty.

My A/C died after 4 months and 1400 miles on my 2016 Sierra SLT CC Std Bed.

Checked it out, wish it was low freon. The compressor sounds like it's engaging but doesn't. It's got an electrical burn smell and the outer portion where there is some rubber has been shredded off. Compressor looks fried to me and the dealer has no loaners available and said it'd be a couple of days before they can even get to it. So I'm just waiting to drop it off.

If the dealer doesn't have a loaner they are supposed to put you into a rental car that is made by GM per the GM warranty requirements. I guess if they cant get to it that doesn't help either.

Finally after hearing nothing from the dealer for a week, called and complained to the general manager, was in a loaner on Monday afternoon, truck was ready Tuesday at lunch. They said the compressor failed/burnt up. Seems to be working fine now.

Any reason why the compressor failed?

It was man made. Probably on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon. Lol

No reason given why it failed, they said it seized up. It doesn't seem like it's as cold as it used to be....I swear it would freeze me out but it might just be my imagination. So far so good, really hope this is the last hiccup.

My AC just failed at 48k in my 2014, out of warranty cost me $1400 to fix....that was the final straw, traded it in for a 2016 2500

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
