2019 Custom V6 

4x4 with limited slip

2,000 miles

 

Nothing but problems. 
 

5 months old.

 

1) original headlamp assembly’s where loaded with dust. Dealer replaced both.

 

2) vibration with load on engine from dash area. Dealer found a trans harness rubbing on floorboard.

 

3) infotainment radio froze up 3 times since new. Embarrassing. Shut off engine and wait few minutes to fix.

 

4) Apple CarPlay works when it wants.

 

5) if I don’t use the stupid electronic tailgate for, let’s say a few days, it takes me a few hits of the button for it to actually release. I’ve now made it a habit to just open it once a day.

 

6) went to put running boards on, went under truck and trans fluid everywhere!! turns out a transfer case seal failed. 

 

if I didn’t already add running boards, tonno, rear wheel well liners, and rubber liners inside, I would just take the beating on trade and never step foot in a Chevy dealership again.

I get being mad, frustrated because your new truck has issues. I was bashed in another thread because I made the comment the OP come on here to complain. Seems like a lot of this to me.

There's already a thread on this topic called Regrets. I have a 2019 RST I've had since last March. Love it and no regrets. No issues. Best truck I've owned and I've had many new GM trucks.

Ownership of a vehicle is something that you can control, buy something that you like, no one will judge you for jumping camp if you do not like your truck.

 

Finding others with the same mindset will never solve the problems you are having, move on and enjoy your day rather than hating what you drive.

 

I personally like my 18, been a very solid truck, so far, completely different story with the 14, and 16 I had though.

But you could go to a Ram, Ford or Toyota page and find people with problems too.  Sh&t happens with vehicles.

Ford and ram will be similar, toyota not so much, there is no comparison on reliable with toyota, but they are so outdated, that is the trade off. 

 

I'm kind of in the same boat, but not as bad as the OP.  Mine is in the shop right now to have the safety tech fixed from the previous recall, also having the new recall done.  Evidently it had previously had the bcm code, so that is not reassuring. 

 

I haven't had most of the major issues, outside of the safety tech and parking sensors not working or going haywire, but I have had numerous issues with the infotainment system and tons of recalls forna vehicle I have had less than 3 months. 

 

I love the truck and am sure I will be fine with it after I get it back, just not a good new car experience in the least.

OP. There are lemon laws for people like you. Personally, I love my '16. 55K miles and not one issue... except for the bimbo on her cell phone that hit me.... Hope things work out for you.

2019 LT TB with 31K.  Other than a blown oil cooler line this truck has been great. Best GM truck I have had. This is the fourth. I had an 01,04,07 and now a 19.

Well I already had my 2019 repurchased. I’m on a 2020 now and it does have better build quality. Keeping my fingers crossed. Your lift gate isn’t working properly because of the tonno cover. Ask me how I know?

Definitely regret buying mine. It has 900 miles on it and has been in the shop twice, for a total of 3 weeks. Once for trans issues, and a speaker rattling, and this time for the rear window leak. Good times.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
