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.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
