I want to guage how many people have had issues and how many have been worry free.  By issues I mean serious enough to take it to the dealer.  You can use your own judgement on determining if it is an issue or not.

I'm in the process of lemon lawing mine...

I have about 2500 miles on my RST. Owned it for just about 3 months. No real issues at all, honestly. The phone BT connection has been spotty at random times, but nothing systemic.    8 spee

A lot of pesky little issues.. none requiring a trip to the dealership.

 

Climate control showing "off" when I actually have the fans running. I'd turn it off then back on, but the "off" would still blink without showing the fan speed. A fix would be to turn it off then back on, it may or may not do it again.

 

Fish-eye while reversing, but a simple fix was to wait for about five seconds then shift in reverse.

 

And the loud unsettling thunk whenever I shift to Drive after starting it up.. like above, a simple five seconds, maybe ten seconds then it'll be smoother.

 

I am still not used to this, none of my Ford F-150's had that, both were flawless. I know it varies among owners with some F-150's drinking oil. I had the older Coyote 5.0 and it was rock solid. The engine in the Chevrolet seems to be solid too.

Can you go into detail why you are lemon lawing?

 

I have 2 small issues that goes unnoticed, 

First, when on Bluetooth, the audio's highs come and go, sounds like the tweeters are not connected properly. When i plug in my iphone then i have no problem. I am running an apple watch so two bluetooths connected might be the culprit. 

 

Second, the dash "touching" the door is not properly seated/ warped. i only see it when getting in the truck.

I've read some of your posts.  I always like to stay informed but hard for me to do so and not be paranoid.  I think it comes down to luck but trying to get an idea on the percentage of people with issues just for curiosity.  I believe a large number of owners don't have any issues but maybe I am wrong and I know if I had the issues you or others have I wouldn't care what the percents were.  I would just want the problem fixed, whether that means switching brands or what not.  

 

The only positive is it seems Chevy dealers give loaners.  I already had 1 loaner to get some goodies installed on my truck.  From what I understand my old Ford dealers did not provide a loaner no matter what unless you bought the high end extended warranty.

I’ve never been paranoid myself and would like to think I am understanding. I knew I was buying a first year truck, with a first year powertrain and while inconvenient - expected some minor issues. 

 

What I did not expect was a total damn meltdown that left everyone scratching their heads. The powertrain is amazing - the wiring to it, not so much. 

 

The whole thing just makes me sad. I’m not pissed, I’m sad.

I have said it before and will say it again.

Automakers do not spend enough time testing new releases.

As a result unfortunately, some very early first year owners suffer from it.

I do not think anyone would buy a brand new car, truck or SUV knowing they are a guinea pig for engineers and Technicians during that first year

until most of the bugs are worked out.

You have the new 2.7L Turbo. I suspect there will be some problems with the new 3.0 Diesel as well.

Nothing huge.

 

4WD warning light came on, truck was stuck in 4WD and didn't disengage when I was on a trail. Turned it off, restarted and went away, but the parking brake lamp illuminated and would set itself anytime I put the truck in park. Dealer did a relearn and it has been fine ever since. 

 

8speed at first kicked at low speeds, but that's mostly gone away as I have almost 8k on mine.

 

I use the truck as it was intended, lots of off-roading and some hauling. I couldn't be more happy with it.

If I were you I would be both.  To be honest I am sad for you even though it isn't my truck.  I had the first Android phone, the T-mobile G1.  Phone sucked and since then I have always believed to never by the first version of anything.  I do a lot of reading about all types of topics and that always seems to be the consensus regardless of the product.  I waited to get a truck for years, at least the last  5 years I have wanted one (I am 29 if that matters).  

 

Anyway, yeah I couldn't help myself here.  Hoping for smooth sailing but either way like to read up on all the issues, mods, configurations, etc, etc... 

 

I'm only at about 800 miles myself, but I know others have had issues pretty early on.  Anyway, be sure to keep us updated on how the lemon law thing works.  I've never had a lemon yet (fingers crossed) so would be curious to know how everyone's issues are resolved or what not.

A lot of the issues are just bugs that I haven’t bothered seeing a dealer for, and/ or things that corrected themselves. The rampant “trailer disconnected” error did send me to the shop this past winter, but it has since been corrected by GM. Overall for a first year product I think it’s been good. And I’m a fairly early build, 10/2019. Whoops, meant 2018!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
