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?

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
