$60k? You didn't spend enough to get a perfect truck, those who spend $65k or more usually are trouble free...

 

Either way those are minor issues easily addressed by the dealer or normal regardless and not at all inline with a lemon law. Seriously to say you are not nit picky then bring up lemon law after 100 miles of that? Let the dealer address the steering column noise (if it is extremely faint it is probably the clock spring and most all vehicles have that noise if you listen for it, some a little louder than others especially with more technology going through the steering wheel with more wires). The transmission shifting rough when could is normal, I can't remember ever being in a car that shifts smooth when cold right off the bat until it gets a little heat in it. The rear end noise is most likely normal, mines makes a little clunk when going in to reverse, just a little play in the diff that isn't worrisome but ask the dealer to take a look and replicate it for them. Either way none of this is serious and in need of a new thread asking about a lemon law based on how much you "paid" for the truck. It is new, it has a warranty for a reason, 100 miles let the dealer handle it that is why it is there and they have the opportunity to fix it...

 

The alignment, who knows you'd be surprised what weird things can happen on a mass produced vehicle that rolls off the assembly line every 45 seconds.

Don't feel bad. I know some who bought a Land Rover Range Rover (MSPR $90000+ and they don;t deal) and has had nothing but issues with brakes.  And the dealer is some 500 miles.

Some of the stupidest things Ive heard, I just heard from you.  Actually, I bought a 41K Tundra and have a perfect truck with absolutely zero issues.  That tranny shifting like crap being normal and rear end clunking being normal, I cant stop laughing. keep going

2019 with updates. My radio comes on often when I start it after being off before. Happened this morning. Otherwise 40k fun miles thus far.

none of the issues listed are okay for ANY brand new vehicle. I would sure as ****** be nit picky too.

Just a quick Google search revealed Toyota doesn't make a perfect truck either.

With that said, I've been very nit picky about my $60k truck, and likely would've been with whatever truck I bought. I almost pulled the trigger on a 2020 Tundra TRD Pro in black, but I'm glad I didn't. I like the Silverado more. And, I use the storage under the rear seat, which is something no Tundra owner can say.

I'm not really fond of the radio coming on when the truck starts, but the folks at my dealership say that's the way the radio works.  It is annoying, but I would much rather deal with that than the more serious issues I have had in the past.  I just turn my volume down all the way instead of turning it off.  I hope there is an update to fix this issue, but I'm not holding my breath from past experience.

 

So far, my 10-speed transmission has been flawless.  I'm very happy about that, because I did not enjoy the 6-speed clank-o-matic in my 2014 and I didn't even make it through a test drive in a 2019 Denali with an 8-speed (the first 1-2 slam on startup did it for me).

 

Good luck getting your issues fixed--hopefully, your dealership is helpful.  Plus, enjoy knowing that your truck will probably get 1.5-2x the gas mileage of a Tundra.  On my Toyota test drive, the DIC showed a trip economy of just under 12.5 mpg.  I have talked to several Tundra owners who confirm that is about what they average.  I'm hoping the upcoming '22 Tundra gets competitive fuel economy.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
