    I just bought this truck in June of 2024. This was a bad dealer because he knowingly sold me the truck with severe frame damage and let me drive a dangerous truck off the lot. I cannot deem it as a total loss to have it replaced because it falls under “wear and tear”. I now have to pay for the truck for the next 5 years and don’t have the money to fix it because the quote states it will be around $13,000, which is how much he sold me the truck for. Because it is a 2010 the warranty has expired. I am completely frustrated and disappointed that there is no one to help me with this betrayal. I have read that many others who have bought GMC’s are and have had the same issues and GM refuses to recall the frames. Something needs to be done about this considering it is GM who did not apply any anti-rust or anti-corrosion to the frames on their vehicles.

All professionals mentioned it is a design flaw GM was aware of. The 2010, however, was not part of their recall.

    I purchased this truck in 2022 from a Car lot. everything seemed to be ok when we bought it. we have since put less then 7000 miles on it and we took it in for a check up when our mechanic found that the frame is totally rusted out. we contacted the chevy dealership about a frame repair and were told it would need a brand new frame that would cost between $7,000-$10,00 to get it fixed and a 6 month wait time. I have been in the mean time doing my own searching and found among many chevy owners that is particular year of truck all have the similar issue where folks put on less then 7-10k miles and the frame rots away. I feel that if this is in fact a large problem among chevy trucks in the years of 2007 to 2013, then Chevy/GM should issue a recall for these frames.

    General Motors USA produced several years of vehicles with a faulty transmission control module (TCM). From 2008-25 Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the 6.6L Duramax engine and Allison 1000 transmission all used the same TCM; part 24256861. This part has experienced a very high failure rate. GM has put out Service Bulletins acknowledging this issue and has not made a recall. Safety concerns with the TCM are related to overheating. I have a 2010 Chev Duramax 2500 with that TCM; on July 16, 2022 my truck was taken in for repairs due to the failure of the TCM. For 14 months the truck has been down due to no new parts available from GM and no parts being manufactured in 2022. This has been a substantial impact to me as a consumer. There is a need for new improved parts for this long-standing faulty TCM issue. The lack of recall on this TCM is subjecting consumers to risks of overheating the transmission system as well as incalculable down-time impacts related to personal and business owned trucks. This problem of the faulty TCM on my truck was confirmed by the local auto repair shop I use as well as the local Chevrolet dealership in Delta, CO. The TCM, will long known problems acknowledged by GM, needs to be on a recall for consumer protection.

The electric doors and dash lights, plus trailer frailer all occur and locks going up and down. Today on a major highway in Kansas City, All dash lights and indicators came on and then the truck started to stop in major traffic. I had to put the transmission in neutral and out of gear and try to keep from losing control of the truck as the were trying to lock up. I quickly shut of the ignition and then turned it back on. I put on a new alternator thinking that would fix the problem. Well 200 dollars later and two days later is when this major problem cause me almost to be in a serious accident. I usually get my service done at Cable Dahmer Chevrolet in Independence MO. I am beside myself, as I know of another owner that has the same year and his is now doing the same thing. Is this a serious problem that may have been going on in other similar vehicles, I would say so. Since I did not panic and made the truck keep going and stop it from locking up, what would be the safety factor of someone, who could not know what to do?

    My truck tires were bought at Costco in 2015 and had 70k Warranty or 6yrs WCF. My added truck mileage since then is 12k miles. I discovered my driver rear passenger tire go flat . I put the spare and took it to Costco for repair. Costco informed me that this is a tire defect as the tire had a side wall perforation. Tire cannot be repaired and a new replacement is required. I looked up Michelin tire recalls and found one issued in 2013 about Michelin X-Radial tires discussing this same defect but it did not include my tire size ( P245/70R17 ) . Fortunately this incident did not occur while driving at high speed.

    I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUP TRUCK AND AFTER RETURNING FROM LUNCH NOTICED THE SPARE TIRE HANGING LOOSELY ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK BED. AFTER TRYING TO USE THE JACK HANDLE TO TIGHTEN IT BACK UP WHICH FAILED I LOWERED THE TIRE VIA THE JACK HANDLE AND PROCEEDED TO VIEW THE HOIST. THE HOIST IS HELD UP BY A SINGLE BOLT TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I REMOVED THE BOLT AND FOUND THAT THE METAL SURROUNDING THE BOLT HAD SEVERAL STRESS CRACKS AND 2 NEW FRACTURES. I REMOVED THE UNIT AND HAVE IT CURRENTLY. I CALLED A DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE HOIST AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT BUT A COUPLE OF PEOPLE HAD LOST THEIR SPARE TIRES. I TOOK THE UNIT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NO BULLETINS WERE OUT ON THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT HELP ME. I THINK GM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS PART (25974843) AS IT WAS REPLACED IN 2013 WITH 20870067.

    2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 LT EXT. CAB, DRIVER FRONT SEAT FOAM DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED, BUT THE SEAT IS ANGLED TO THE LEFT AND THE SEAT BACK (WHAT YOU LEAN BACK ON), IS LEANING BACK ON THE LEFT. SEAT BELT CROSSES OVER LEFT BREAST AROUND YOUR NECK. THE SEAT (WHAT YOU SIT ON) SLANTS DOWN ON THE LEFT. THIS THROWS YOUR WHOLE BODY OFF BALANCE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU ARE AT AN AWKWARD POSITION DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND SHORTLY AFTER I NOTICED THE FRONT SEAT BACK WAS TWISTED TOWARD THE FRONT AND I TOOK IT BACK AND THAT IS WHEN ALL THE TROUBLE BEGAN. IF THERE WERE TO BE A COLLISION AND THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN DEPLOY, IT WOULD IN FACT MAKE YOUR HEAD GO OFF THE HEADREST BECAUSE YOUR HEAD IS AT THE EDGE ON THE LEFT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE SEAT MEETS GM SPECIFICATIONS, BUT I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE SIT IN THE SEAT AND ALL SAY IT IS CROOKED. I HAVE CALLED THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON MONDAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, SO A REPRESENTATIVE [name removed] THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TRUCK COULD BE FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AND NOW THE SEAT DOES NOT GO BACK AS FAR AS IT DID WHEN NEW AND THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SEAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OUT AND I KNOW IT HAS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE THE SEAT LOOKS WARN AND THE FOAM IS SQUASHED DOWN AND THE PADDING IN THE BACK AND FRAME WIGGLE AROUND. THE SEAT IN MY TRUCK, WHEN I PURCHASED IT, WERE FIRM AND NOW THEY ARE LOOSE. POPPING NOISES I KEEP HEARING, LIKE SOMETHING IS BREAKING LOOSE, UNDER THE SEAT. THE LUMBAR, IF YOU CAN SIT STRAIGHT UP, HITS YOU IN YOURBACK, RIGHT SIDE AT LUMBAR AND LEFT SIDE WAY ABOVE YOUR HIP. WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU? BUT, I FEEL, SINCE I PAID CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE, THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING AND IT ONLY HAS ABT. 10,800 MILES ON IT. *TR

    BRAKES ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK ARE SPONGY AND DO NOT ADEQUATELY STOP THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR MISS COLLISIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. MY VEHICLE HAS 111,000 MILES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS DUE TO ACCELERATED WEAR WITHOUT A SIMILAR SITUATION ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THIS SHOWS ME THAT THE PRIMARY (LARGER) FRONT BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR

    THE INTERIOR DASH PANEL ON MY SILVERADO 1500, 4X4, CREW CAB HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAUSING A LOUD RATTLE WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. THE DASH PANEL HAS ALSO STARTED TO CRACK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LOCATION AND I FEEL THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, CAUSING PLASTIC DASH PARTS TO DISLODGE AND HIT OCCUPANTS.
