I recently purchased my vehicle from Big Star Dealership in Baytown Tx. At a little over 1000 miles i was towing a camper. The vehicle stalled, fuel pouring from engine. It was towed and repaired due to fuel pump failure. At a little over 3000 miles the vehicle would not start. Dealership initially said water contamination then changed it and said gasoline contamination and now they say DEF contamination. The vehicle stalling the first time almost caused me to wreck the vehicle
While traveling on the interstate at speed and passing slower traffic; engine power fell off, change fuel filter now, engine derate, and check engine lite, occured. I had to maneuver with no power through the traffic to get out of the travel lanes. I was then stranded on the interstate as the truck would not start. I was able to get a mechanic to come and change the fuel filter on the side of the highway, but the truck would not start. The truck was eventually towed to a shop where it was diagnosed with a catastrophic failure of the fuel pump (diesel motor driven pump).
2020 gmc sierra denali duramax 3000 miles tried turning on truck this morning to go to work and would not even crank it is a push start option have no clue on how im going to take it to the dealership if I cant get it of park into neutral for a tow truck at least ! Truck does not crank it throws me a ton of messages stability trak dsc ABS power reduced 4wd check trailer lights. Bunch of messages I took video of it and so truck doesn't even try to start. I took a video or the problem
Vehicle stalls and shuts off while driving and idle. Sometimes it starts back up immediately, other times it will just crank over but will not start. After letting it sit sometimes 5 to 20 minutes at a time it will then start back up. All research and issues with the vehicle indicate a manufacturer recall of a crankshaft position sensor. The vehicle will stall or shut off at random whether it's in motion down the highway in the middle of a intersection or at a stop sign . I have almost been t-bones due to the vehicle stalling in the middle of the intersection and I have also had to replace my drivers mirror due to the vehicle stalling on the interstate and nearly being hit by another vehicle.
While driving at 45mph in the left lane of a major city thoroughfare the engine quit running, power steering and brakes did not work. The check engine light came on when the engine quit running. I was able to get the vehicle stopped but the engine would not start. The vehicle was towed to the dealership where I was told this issue was reported in arkansas, louisiana and tennessee. The dealership reported that shards of metal were found in the fuel injector and the entire fuel system would have to be completely replaced. Additionally I was told the parts are hard to get. The vehicle was purchased new and was 7 months old and had just over 7,000 miles. The vehicle is still sitting at the dealership 10 days later and has not been moved from where it was delivered by the wrecker service. Gm has been notified but no response from gm or dealership management yet as to what caused the engine failure. I occasionally tow a fifth-wheel rv with this vehicle. I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle and would not consider purchasing another until a determination is made on exactly what went wrong.
I own a 2003 gmc duramax 167000 miles, it has been a great truck until recently, after engine gets hot it will not start back up until it has cooled off! Have not been able to find the problem yet, but found a lot of complaints online from people with the same problem, [injectors], very expensive to repair!!! This problem is very frustrating, would be great if general motors would correct this problem!!!!

Failure of coolant system resulted in a failure of the head gasket and water intrusion into the #7 cylinder. Vehicle is 12 months old and had 15,000 miles at the time of failure.
