A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Vehicle loses power when entering roadway. Vehicle fires at idle. Vehicle dies on roadway. Vehicle lurches aggressively without control. Vehicle shifts erratically and with aggression. DEALER STATED GM known issue where wires were run to the oxygen sensor wrong. Run across exhaust pipe. Exhaust melted wires to O2 and caused a short which computer poorly responds to.
Transmission lock-up while driving. Rear end of vehicle jumped up felt like I was rear ended. If this happened at higher speed or when towing it could cause serious injury to myself or others. The problem is well known by the dealers and GM manufacturing, they have recalled over 400000 trucks with this issue years 2020 to 2022 and yet they are still installing the faulty control bodies in the transmission of the 2023 to 2025 models. No warning messages, there was some shifting issues just before the lock-up.
