    Substance Dripping

    It just ain't right that a new vehicle should sound like a steam iron.

    2021 Tahoe with 6k miles mine has already had a head off

    What makes you think it's a defective batch and not design fault?

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    The more I contemplate buying a new bucket of bolts the more I consider keeping my 2012 going to the grave. It's reliable, just the right size, will run all day at 80mph with the air running wide open and fill ups take 10 minutes. I really doubt electric will be a viable cross country network in...

    Transmission/Shifting Won't work 2021 Yukon XL Denali

    Making it right should include compensation for pain and suffering for selling a known problematic product.

    Transmission/Shifting Won't work 2021 Yukon XL Denali

    These vehicles aren't right though some have driven them 645 miles without a problem. I think you should get a lawyer and GM should pay their fees.

    Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

    Don't doubt that the developement costs are a big reason for the lifter failures. Today's subsidization of tomorrow's tech leaves buyers in the lurch. Wait till the bill to pay for the grid upgrade lands in your mailbox.

    616 miles on the odometer and our new 2021 Tahoe LT won't start!!!! P1029 error code

    GM is using the high profit margins from these vehicles to subsidize development of electric cars. This architecture is being abandoned so later years of this run may never be as dependable as the last generation. Sign of the times I guess.

    9111 miles.. here I sit at dealer 500 miles from home

    I know from recent experience how it feels to be broke down away from home. My 2012 recently stopped about 3 and 1/2 hours from home and didn't get towed till after dark. Towed it to the nearest GM dealer and left the keys with a note describing what happened then went to a hotel. Service...

    Weak engine mounts?

    Mine is an old 5.3 that hums but it does start with a jolt. It could be that you were driving something like a transverse or 4/6 cylinder engine before? I know it's hard to take in everything with a short test drive. I usually drive them all over and only return them just before they call the cops.

    Weak engine mounts?

    Did you test drive it before buying?

    Salesman Experience

    Gone are the days when I could purchase a new truck from the same salesman year after year. Now the new generation salesman sits by the window pecking at his latest Apple device. When I ask him a question he acts bored and only wants to get back to his texting which is just as well, he has no...

    2021 Yukon Denali Any Regrets

    I find your argument specious. I was looking at paying cash for a new suv but upon seeing the problems and realizing my old one is a better fit I decided to buy nothing. You can doubt me if you like also.

    So how does it work today, $80k take it or leave it? Funny world we have accepted.

    Did you take it for a test drive before forking over $80k?

    Lifter question

    Yet these failures have been occurring on pickups for the past two years. GM had a bad production run of springs but I've never heard of a bad run of lifters that has been acknowledged.

    Lifter question

    Alas, the only ones who might have a clue aren't talking - the GM engineers. Is it unknowable or is it unspeakable.

    Which build months are safe from lifter problems?

    It is what it is don't let it get you down and enjoy your new vehicle, you've already crossed that bridge and the odds are vastly in your favor. Keep an eye on Range Technologies or give them a call to see if they are working on defeating DFM I have one on the way for my 2012. It's not a tuner...

    Which build months are safe from lifter problems?

    I believe it is endemic to the engines with DFM. It was introduced on the truck models in 2019 and lifter failures have been reported since that time. AFM had it's problems also and took a few years to correct but issues remain long term. If I were to buy a new GM truck or suv I wouldn't...

    My 2012 broke down for the first time

    Wondering if there is a rubber conditioner I could spray the rubber bushings with? Edit: Spray white lithium grease should do the trick.

    My 2012 broke down for the first time

    As an update the Hoe is still good to go after a few long trips, one was 9 hours one way, and frequent trips to town after changing the ECM. No complaints. Except it does have some type of squeak coming from the rear when hitting minor imperfections in the driveway while backing out. It's a 100...

    No more wireless charging (for now?)

    You just know that when the time comes to trade these in the salesman will say something like, we can't give you the best trade-in because of these missing features, sorry bud. That ding will be multiples of the token $50 - $75 mini credit.
