Less than 200 miles and the new AT4 is going in the shop...
 
Got in the truck yesterday, started it up, put in reverse and it would not move. It seemed as if the electronic e-brake was on, but the PARK light was not lit. Put it in park and hit the e-brake button, then the PARK light came on and started flashing and I got a message stating "Service Parking Brake", wonderful.
 
Turned car off, started back up, no more warning message and I was able to turn off the e-brake and reverse out of garage. Shortly there after I received two Onstar notifications, "issue with the StabiliTrak® stability control system" and "issue with the Antilock Braking System in your 2020 GMC Sierra has been detected".
 
The truck seems to drive okay, however I did notice some sort of clunking noise occasionally towards the back end, not sure if that's normal. Frustrating as I have barely even driven the damn thing since the dealer dropped it off new. It's going in for service this coming week. These issues seem somewhat similar to the past recall in the 2019s, although my vehicle says no recalls.

That really sucks man. I had a check engine light  on my 2020 AT4 485 miles!! this morning when I went to work, but it was gone after work? I hope it was nothing, but makes me mad when you know they are new.

I purchased 2020 AT4 6.2L 14 days ago - I drove it for 6 days before going back into the shop.  I didn't think anything about it, but after reading your post - I realized I had the same issue.  It would go into Reverse/Drive, but showed the P Brake was on, even though I hadn't put it on.  It's only happened once.  

 

My issue is - after the truck sat for a full day with the keyfob in the truck, I went to go start it and it wouldn't start.  The dash came on and said "Keyfob left in vehicle" and when I went to start....NOTHING.  No power, wouldn't even turn over.  I stepped outside with the FOB thinking I could remote start the truck and, nothing.  Had to connect jumper cables, to get it to start.  After it started, check engine light came on and it reset everything in the truck, put it into "DEMO MODE".  I've since dropped it off at the dealer, and it's been there a week......they said the code was a transmission code.  Super frustrated.....

I'm curious if this is related to a low battery situation. I have a 2020 6.2 Tboss and I ran the battery down to the battery saver warning. When I started the truck up and drove it next I had several diagnostic issues including service the airbags and a few other codes. I threw a battery tender on it and charged it back up over that night and every code went away. I understand you aren't having these issues but I wonder if a low battery starts making these trucks act funny. I know others have had issues with the battery and I believe a few were throwing codes as well. Regardless I hope you get it fixed soon, I was just adding this as food for thought.

Dealer reset the codes and ran diagnostics, everything checked out fine, they said it was most likely a "glitch". Not sure how comfortable I feel with that diagnosis, but until it happens again, I guess I have to accept it...

Don't "accept it" if it happens again.

Have the dealer re-program the computer's software.

This fixed a friends Silverado 8 speed with shuddering shifts and failure to go into Park.

Your column shift isn't a mechanical lever anymore.

It's a switch.

The computers in these trucks control more than they did 10 years ago.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      How many miles were on the truck when you bought it and was there some form of oil change history generated through a dealer or an independent shop although not much would show up if the owner had changed their own oil. Just curious if it was a maintenance issue or if there was something off from the start, surely one would think the original owner would have realized it was using a lot of oil, its hard to go back in time and find out the true story of mysteries like this. Well hopefully the warranty company will go for it and just install a new engine, that would be the ideal outcome.    I still have so few miles on my truck as per not quite 9000 and will be changing the oil shortly which has around 2700 miles on it or so and its down so little on the dipstick from where it was at the beginning of this oil change that I could make the "claim" that it uses no oil but in reality would be a very small amount, less than a 1/16 of an inch. Just driving empty/not towing and easy driving so hard to say what it would do if it had a load behind it for oil consumption. So far very impressed with the very minimal oil usage.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
