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Ford and ram will be similar, toyota not so much, there is no comparison on reliable with toyota, but they are so outdated, that is the trade off.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

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
