07-01-23 Vehicle died out, wouldn't start, got jumped, still wouldn't start. No indicator lights or warnings. Towed vehicle to the dealership, where it was for 11 1/2 months with the determination it was the ECM and Harness. Which it took that long to get. The vehicle was given back 06-14-24, even though it was in running condition, it was discovered parts were missing. Dealership put on order, received by end of July and installed. November 13, 2024, vehicle died out while driving on the freeway. Dashboard lit up everything, had to get the vehicle towed back to dealership. I have the Onstar diagnostics indicating the same components as the original reason the vehicle was held for an approximate year. Dealership now has vehicle and we have to wait for them to do a diagnostic.

I'm a couple of different occasions I went to start the truck and it would not turn over and it flashed a warning about servicing the stabiltrak and the trailer brake system. Both of these systems checked out fine by the dealership. All the online forums I have seen seem to indicate that this is an issue with the wiring harness not being properly mounted and chafing causing shorts in The wire system. I've been to the dealership twice and they claim to not find it but I don't know how hard they're looking at the wiring harness.

Also after long highway drives, the engine will run roughly and occasionally stall when the vehicle is stopped. Vehicle was brought to dealer who diagnosed as a faulty purge solenoid. This is a known problem in 2015 models as detailed in gm special coverage adjustment letter #18029. This 2016 model year is not included.
