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.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.

      2024 Sierra Vibration - Need advice

      By 24trailboss · Posted

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
