BBB first then try a lawyer.  I got mine settled without a lawyer.  Look into Transfer of collateral..
 

My state does not honor the BBB Autoline. It is not an approved arbitrator. BBB is funded by GM and the other manufacturers. My state has processes set up to do direct state arbitration with the manufacturers.

Your local consumer protection department is a wealth of information

No. Unless it’s in the shop you can’t count the time. Call a lawyer. I’m in NY so they are free for me. Look into your states lemon law. The lawyer negotiates a payment from the manufacturer is how it worked for me. I wanted to get into a new truck but since manufacturing slowed down they weren’t really doing that in NY. I decided to take a payout. If I want I could trade my truck in tomorrow and the payout has nothing to do with it. Best of luck

I'm getting the run around from GM Canada. They were "reviewing" my case for three weeks in which time they'd call every few days to say that they were still "reviewing" it. This apparently included escalating the case to one of their service managers. 

 

I got another call today saying that they were done reviewing my case and that I needed to have the stub shaft replaced even though it was already done last year. They also have absolutely no ETA as to when the parts might be available.

 

This has been going on for over a year now. They obviously don't have a fix. It is unbelievable that they're able to get a free pass by saying I need a part but that it's not available.

How long have these parts not been available??

Well update from my end... approved a replacement vehicle, should be simple right? GM won’t let me order one and says I need to get one from dealer inventory. My dealer is saying I can’t pull from inventory and I need to order one. The dealers in my state won’t give up inventory since AT4 are guaranteed sellers and hard to come by... Ughhh!!!!

 

I’m starting to think GM just wants me to walk from everything to start over and make me pay a premium for what I want...

So heard this noise on my new 2020 RST with only 500 miles on it. Haven’t contacted the dealer yet as it seems pointless with part shortages. I know I need to take it in to get everything documented. Just looking for hope here but has anyone actually had their issue fixed and not come back or is it inevitable that I am going to be fighting GM on this until I get a new truck? Someone give me some good news because I am sick to my stomach after reading through this whole tread.

 

Anybody?

I was able to get mine fixed  month ago and the noise went away.  I was not impressed with the longevity of the 8 speed transmission and the fact that it would shake a little on the highway.  I ended up trading it in for a new 2020 Ram and don’t think I will ever get a GMC again.  The Ram is so much smoother and quiet with much more features.  I traded my Sierra in after only owning for 1 year and 10,000 miles.  Really sad on GM.

What exactly did they do and do you by chance have the Service Bulletin that I could provide to the dealer?

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
