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!

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Ac not keeping up

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