Latches/locks/linkages: tailgate: latchReported February 1, 2024 · 570,434 vehicles affected
What is wrong
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, 3500, GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles equipped with power-unlatching tailgates. The tailgate's electronic gate-release switch may short circuit due to water intrusion, which can result in the tailgate inadvertently unlatching while the vehicle is in park.
Risk
An unlatched tailgate may open while driving and result in a loss of unsecured cargo, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Owners are advised to check that the tailgate is closed and latched before driving. Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 17, 2024. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1‑800‑222‑1020 or GMC customer service at 1‑800‑462‑8782. GM's number for this recall is N232426400.

I recently discovered that Tasca Buick GMC Palm Harbor (located at [XXX]) submitted official paperwork stating they completed a safety recall. However, this work was never performed. My truck was never brought to this dealership, and I have never been to this facility on the date listed in their report Filing a completion record for a safety recall without performing the actual repair is a severe safety hazard and constitutes fraudulent reporting to a federal agency.Desired Resolution:I request that the federal safety agency investigate Tasca Buick GMC Palm Harbor for fraudulent warranty and recall record filings. I also request that the recall status for my vehicle be reset to "Incomplete" in the national database so I can take it to a trustworthy dealer to get the actual safety repair performed the federal safety agency Campaign 24V‑060 / GM Recall N232426400 (Power-Unlatching Tailgate Switch Replacement) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The stereo screen face failed, with warning signs in foreign languages. An inspection was completed and it was confirmed that the module behind the screen attempted to update and burned out. When this system update failed it continued to run power resulting in a dead battery. luckily there was another vehicle around to jump start the vehicle but if someone is out of cell service or doesn't have a jump box serious issues can arise. There are many cases of this happening online with other GMC products. A dealership has confirmed the module burned out. A claim has been filled with GM customer service but no investigations have occurred. Nothing came up until after the battery died and the screen failed after the vehicle was jumped.

I am filing this complaint regarding my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, which has approximately 20,000 miles and has been babied since new. The truck is maintained meticulously and the undercarriage is washed weekly. The brake failures I have experienced are completely unacceptable for a truck with this mileage and maintenance history. Both the FRONT and REAR brake friction material has completely DELAMINATED from the brake components. This is not normal brake wear. The material has separated from the underlying metal, which I believe is a serious material/manufacturing-quality issue. The dealer is now reporting that the rear emergency/parking brake shoes are also defective and require replacement. These components are inside the rear rotor and are not visible during a normal inspection. I strongly dispute any suggestion that this is simply corrosion or abuse. This truck is babied, maintained properly, and the undercarriage is washed every week specifically to prevent buildup and corrosion. At only 20,000 miles, having the front brakes, rear brakes, AND parking-brake shoes fail is completely unacceptable. The brake failures are also part of a disturbing pattern of component failures on this truck. The A/C compressor failed, leaving me without reliable air conditioning and resulting in a SIX-WEEK wait for replacement during the middle of summer. Additionally, only FIVE DAYS after I purchased the truck brand new, it required replacement of the Engine Control Module. This is a 2023 truck with only 20,000 miles. I expect normal wear items to wear normally—not to physically delaminate and fail. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate whether there is a systemic safety or manufacturing defect involving the brake materials/components used on these trucks. A brake component physically separating from its backing material is a serious safety concern and should not be dismissed as routine maintenance. GM needs to be held accountable for the quality and safety of this

Truck will not release the key consistently upon shutting down the truck. The interlock will not allow it to turn fully off and pull out despite being placed in park.

The entire infotainment system has gone black. Nothing shows on the screen. This is a safety issue as it does not show blind spot monitoring, heads up display, lane change warnings, allow hands free calling, gps, and much more. None of the safety features are available with a trailer hookup as well. We have taken it to a certified Chevrolet dealer who has said the truck was the 6th one that they have placed an order for in just over a week. The infotainment system is currently on back order which makes operating the vehicle concerning with its proper safety features.

Switch fails in shifter assembly that is supposed to sense the vehicle is in park. Does not allow the key to be removed. Dealership explained that complete failure may cause the vehicle to actually get stuck in drive. Very common problem that typically occurs just outside of bumper to bumper warranty. Related to a cheap microswitch but requires $1000 full replacement of the shifter assembly.
