I'm on my forth new GMC (plus my wife had a 2015 Yukon) since 2010 and I'm just about sick of GM's cheap tactics. The current 2019 AT4 I have had s sticker price 11K over my 2016 All Terrain and they've removed the adjustable peddles, sun glasses holder, adjustable seatbelts, storage compartment in the front doors, the OH Sh!t handles and turning signals in the mirrors. Granted, they have added a HUD, heated rear seats and rear A/C vents but really? 11K more then nickel and dime me on remote start on an app? What gives GM, are you really hurting that bad that you can't throw this small perk in for more than a month? What a kick in the nuts!!!

Take a second and think what else the truck has added since 2016, you are paying for additional truck capabilities not car features. Strengthened frame, new tech, more towing/hauling, larger bed, more safety, etc. People constantly complain, those people will never be happy no matter what feature it comes with they will find something else to complain is missing.

 

What is with people saying they spent X amount of money and feeling like they are entitled to something? There is so much more to it than the petty complaints...These threads are an excellent laugh to read. I agree in another thread they should be combined in to one giant thread.

Until recently the MY GMC app key fob was free for previous vehicles.. I used it for my 2013 with out charge.  Now they want an onstar subscription to be able to use the key fob on the My GMC app.   O

That may be true, but there are some features that used to be standard are missing.  My 2019 LT crew cab is worlds better than my 2009 LS crew cab, but my 2009 came with the back seat arm rest/cup holder.   My 2019 LT (higher trim level) does not.  My kids have no place for their drinks in the back seats except for the door pockets which are not easy for a 4th/5th grader to reach.

 

Also, like others have said, why is it that the only 2019 trucks that don't come with LED tail lights are the bottom of the line work truck and the bread and butter LT?  It's a money grab to make the most purchased trucks cheaper to make or persuade buyers into more expensive trims.

the range on my 19 sierra seems ok, but nothing like using the myGMC app,  being able to start it from inside a restaurant, and having it tell you that it started was really nice

Market segmentation and revenue management is both art and science.  I suspect GM is pretty good at it - they know pretty closely what will happen to volume and revenues with feature set changes.  It would be nice to have the app for free but there is an ongoing real cost to them which everyone paid for historically, they know for sure what % of customers use the tech and how often.  Going to a subscription model (like your phone, tv, internet, etc.) passes the cost on to those that actually use it instead of everyone - at least theoretically allowing them to lower the actual price of the vehicle, impossible to tell though.

I don't have a problem with that. The K2 only had LED taillights for the LTZ/High Country and SLT/Denali, it's also the way Ford and Ram do it. What I do have a problem with is getting rid of things that were previously available on the older trucks. Things should be added as a new model comes along, not taken away. The fact that these trucks don't have adjustable pedals and a sunglasses holder is almost laughable. I can live without the signal mirrors. Other than that, I like the truck.

Sure, then give me the option to just buy the key fob app,  and not entire onstar subscription..

I was able to call onstar and they gave me three years for free. I don’t want everything the app does, just lock/unlock and start/stop

A 2018 Sierra. I came from a 2008 and a 2017 suburban. The guy said since I had been with them for a long time they would do it.

you have to ask for it, but the basic key fob part of the app is avail for 9.99 a month. i still won't pay for it, but it is an option over the cheapest advertised package.

Okay guys, I bought mine on June 29th this year, and I didnt get 20,000 points either. 

Can I get the dealer to fix this for me?

I just got a 1,000 points for enrolling.

Should I just call my dealership tomorrow?

Yep.  My 2017 Cruze had it free, but my 2018 Trax and 2019 Silverado make you pay for it.  Ridiculous.

One other question guys. Can points be used towards purchasing GM products?

This is BS.  My 2014 Equinox LT gave you remote start/key fob for 5 years.  Now you get it for 3 months?  I am about to purchase my 2019 Silverado this week, but that does factor into the equation.

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
