I've been browsing the Tundras forum a bit. But yeah, there's nothing there that will leave you stranded.

I am in the same boat as you, I actually came from a 2007 Tundra Crewmax 1st year of new generation (work horse). My car is currently at the dealer for the 4th time! My GPS and compass do not work, I have had my antenna replaced, and infotainment 2 times already. GM is currently working on a buy back offer, so lets see where that goes. If I cant make headway then I will most likely get an attorney involved. If I do get money back, I will most likely get a new tundra...those things are hard to break! I tried for years (looking for a reason to get a new truck) without success and finally gave up and just traded it in! Those things are solid as a rock.

I have a 2019 Silverado  Z71 6.2  I bought truck September 25th 2019 with 4 miles on it . Two weeks later one of the lifters on motor went, During the Gm Strike (so they could not get parts dealer had truck for almost 30 days) Got truck back and drove for about a month then on Wednesday 18th while on New Jersey turnpike the motor died, had it towed to my dealer in Pa and they tore apart the engine and 2 cylinder walls are toast, all with 2900 miles on the truck so I am in the process of the buy back   ANY Suggestions ???

that really sucks guys, ive known or heard this tho of every brand

 

Toyota not nearly as much for sure.I did own 2 new tundras and my 2000 tundra was super solid, my 2005 not as solid as 2000 but still good, and I just got recall awhile ago on it for air bag ( 14 yrs later).....I just don't like new tundras and while they are reliable I don't want a vehicle just because its reliable and that's only reason...my Silverado been solid so far and am sure none of manufacturers want to take their vehicles back.....they all have recalls but what you guys are going thru is horrendous and I would be trying to get back every cent, tax is money you paid on a purchase and if that purchase is recalled or cancelledthan what are you paying tax on?...no way they can keep tax if they take vehicle back, or dest, title, lic and docs for that matter.....

 

they send you all these surveys and emails after purchase about your satisfaction and how they strive to be best.....right up until your truck takes a shit!

My 2020 Silverado 2500HD had a leaking rear window. Long story short, and one very smelly mold and mildew problem, 3 separate failed repairs - GM has agreed to give my purchase price back. Here’s the new problem - my dealer can’t find me another truck. I don’t ‘t want to accept a check because I will have to pay sales tax on another $60,000 price tag. Anyone else have this problem? Can I buy from another dealer out of state? My dealer says there’s nothing out there.

How did everyone initiate the buyback process? Through the dealer or through GM customer service line? 
 

thinking about starting that process as well.  50+ days without my truck will do that...

I am going through the bbb auto line at the moment,awaiting a call from them to set up an arbitration date with gmc

My neighbor just initiated this process the other day. Got a 2021 Custom Trail Boss. Had 1100 miles on it, and the engine is toast. 5.3 V8 with AFM. Hasn't even made his first payment yet. Something about some extra/rogue bolts being inside the engine. Engine started rattling, so he took it to the dealership. Dealership offered a replacement engine under warranty, but my neighbor wants out of the truck because having a replaced engine will decrease the value later on. He's hoping to get into a Custom Trail Boss with the 6.2, but that is a unicorn.

He is going to have an uphill battle imo, once you sign on that dotted line it is yours and it will take a good bit of effort to get gm to give a new one.

 

I agree though and i don't care how plug and play or good the tech is, a replaced engine ruins the truck imo! Especially considering he has not even made a payment yet, every rattle, every noise will be amplified throughout ownership!

The dealership is already moving in the direction of getting him a new truck. He wants a 6.2 crew cab with 6 person seating. He prefer a Custom Trail Boss, but that's a unicorn. Out of 4 states (California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona) there's only 1. Looks like he's going with another trim level. The dealership is trying to do a trade with another dealers for a 6.2. He may opt to have the Trail Boss suspension upgrade added by the dealer.

It doesn’t work. They stall until they can run you out of warranty or get someone to put the blame on you and void the warranty. Worst nightmare of my life owning a brand new duramax. Yep like a rock … it shud make a beautiful 70,000$ boat anchor. I’ve seen homeless people take more pride than gm

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
