My understanding is that there are issues with some of the "animated" headlamps. Its an ongoing problem with a supplier. 

(which doesnt make me feel warm and fuzzy)

the Chevy's are now coming with rear taillight animation deleted. they may be the problem

They are not related.  Early builds of Chevy animated headlights have a software bug that may cause headlamps to not function immediately.  The headlamps are not programmable at dealer so they need to be replaced.  

 

The rear taillamps are a chip shortage item.

The supplier has been struggling to keep up with production.  Dealing with of chip related items with headlights and tail lights.

Not HD but same deal being refreshed trucks.  We've had three different 1500s come in with the flashing fast due to a headlight not working properly.  Two of them had the right front DRL/Signal turn off, one the left side.  Two trucks were fixed with unplugging and plugging back in the headlight assembly (terminal tension) and the other got a new headlight assembly (RF).  In the case notes on the one that got the headlight, it sounds like they've got plenty of reports and multiple locations to check as far as wiring and connections, but also they've seen lamp replacement.

Noticed mine started doing this around the 2000 mile mark. Few fast flashes, then normal flashing.  Both directions. No errors.

They ordered both new headlight units for mine on 5/17.  Both of them are at the dealer as of last week and will be installed on 7/20. They are going to keep the truck as the whole front grill, etc has to be removed to install them

I'm not downing this GM Customer service reply.  I fell into it and all they will do is set you up for an appt. at your local dealership.  That's all.  So don't get excited like I did thinking yay, someone is going to pay extra special attention to my truck needs....that's a hard no.....

I feel that them reaching out to you to solve the issue is extra special attention!!!!

It isn't.  All they offer is to make you an appt.  You can do that on your own.  No extra special attention at all.

Contacts from them are recorded when they reach out. GM corporate ,Monitors these forums. Look to improve the the repair in your vehicle. This also provides a date of complaint or problem which helps if it gos out of warranty by mileage and the problem is still there. There are a few advantages to their responding to your post here. If you feel that way about, GM customer service reaching out , then I don’t know what to tell you as far as what you expect from a company. From my stand point I feel very good knowing someone from customer service is listening. I’m not interested in getting in a key board confrontation with you. If you feel that way then great. I feel the opposite. Have a great day and God bless brother!

still waiting for GM to come up with a fix. the turn signals have been working intermittently since the first 100 miles in April. my first appointment for this was in May and i have been checking in with the dealer every 2 weeks.  i spoke with my dealer again yesterday and they have other trucks doing the same thing with open TAC cases. according to the dealer TAC's next step is a lighting module but they are on back order with no ETA. he said TAC will not approve any further repairs until the lighting module is tried, i thought i have seen other fellas on various sites that have already had the lighting modules replaced with no success?

aren't non functioning turn signals a safety issue??? kinda concerns me at times.

My modules are scheduled to be replaced tomorrow, July 20.

 

They have been on order since mid May. There are several other electrical/sensor glitches with the truck that pop up. I have a logbook with date, time, and issue as well either video or phone in case there are no codes stored.

if possible could you let us know what the outcome is, i understand, if its good, you will not know for a while since the t/s problems are so intermittent . my power tailgate has a mind of its own also....

Ok, I appreciate your input here and I will definitely try them out next time and further my knowledge of what they are actually doing.  I do hope you are right and it will be documented and they will continue to help me if my problem wasn't solved.  I'm an open minded guy, I'll give them a shot next time I have a problem.  Thank you for your input here sir!

    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
