In the last year my truck has been at the dealership for a total of at least a month cumulative. The check engine light keeps coming on... I had to have it towed to the dealership 1x... the transmission keeps having issues... the dealership has it for a week at a time trying to problem solve things. This has happened 3x...

 

They replaced some solenoids in the transmission. We Picked it up a week later to then return it when the check engine light came back on. They had the truck again for a week and replaced 3 wiring harnesses in the transmission.

 

We picked the truck up on Saturday and got 10 miles from the dealership and the check engine light came back on. We returned the truck to the dealership on Monday...

 

I’m done with the truck. It’s not reliable and in the last year it’s been unavailable for 1/12 of the time... not to mention the hassle of getting to and from the dealership.

 

Wondering if anyone has experience with buyback or lemon law in California? Any help would be appreciated.

That sucks.  I had a 2019 5.3L 1500 Denali that I recently traded for a 2021 6.2 Denali sight unseen (last time I do that).  I wish I would had kept the 2019 as I had no issues with it besides the hard seats and the current used market made it very tempting to trade up.

New truck bed not centered and is not level with the cab and exhaust leak sound at 1000-1500 RPM with 1K miles so far.  Of course the dealer says it is normal.  They always do as long as it still drives down the road.  Quality control is not so good.  I am already looking around at other vehicles and deciding what is it worth to dump this truck.

Got an email from GM with a buy back offer last week. I’ve had no issues lately and really like my truck. Not sure what I want to do now!

Is the offer any good?

 

My guess is maybe you got a beginning of the pandemic built truck? I know for a good bit they had trouble just having the employees to keep the lines moving and wouldn't doubt if people were pulled from other areas to work it.

The truck was in the shop a total of 1 of the last 12 months but now 21 days later you really like it ?

 

They offered a buyback. Take the money and run !

I’m not confused… I really enjoy my truck but am frustrated by the issues I have had…

Take the money and move on, do your research.

When it comes to Diesels in these half tons, there doesn't seem to be any clear winner when it comes to as few of issues as possible.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
