What Owners Say

Fuel pump

"Fuel pump module driver failed on interstate at 70 mph while towing our camper with no warning. The engine shut off and we had to pull onto the shoulder with no power. Had to be towed to the dealership. It was a scary and dangerous night."

Anonymous A., LA (2024 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali 6.6-L V8 diesel)
Other emissions/fuel system problem

"The fuel pump module driver failed while towing our fifth wheel camper on interstate at 70 mph. The engine shut down and we had to pull over to the shoulder with no power. Fortunately there was a GMC dealership near there. We had to arrange a tow for the truck and camper. It was scary being stranded on the side of the road at night. We broke down on Friday and the vehicle was repaired by Monday evening. The truck only had 5000 miles on it when this part failed. The experience has left us with a nervous feeling every time we travel out of town towing our camper."

Other/unsure

"Tail gate recall"

Anonymous, (2024 GMC Sierra 3500HD Denali 6.6-L V8 diesel)

Brakes

Premature pad/rotor wear, pulsation or vibration, antilock system, parking brake, master cylinder, calipers, squeaking, brake failure, regenerative braking.

What Owners Say

Other brakes problem

"The trailer brake controller intermittently stopped working with warning. The GM excuse was that it was a problem with the Hydrastar electric over hydraulic brake system on the trailer as the GM dealer tests did not find a problem. This was the first of 3 GMC trucks weve had that exhibited this problem. No problem with a new Ram or Ford trucks."
