My story starts with a 2017…
My story starts with a 2017 v6 camaro. Bought it slightly used. After about a year and a half, it would shutter. If I changed the fluid and run it and changed it again, the shudder stopped. After a year same thing. The next year same thing, so car is gone. I purchased a new 2021 Denali 1500 3.0 Duramax. Loved the truck, but started having the crank and no start, it was always start right up on the second attempt. I knew this was not going to heal itself, so I got a chance to trade it for a 2021 Denali 2500 Duramax that was about 6 months old same as mine, and about the same miles. Well first problem happened as I pulled out of the dealer lot, drove good on the test drive, but not after I paid for it. It was a high pressure rail sensor. After a couple trips coming back from Florida to Texas in limp mode, they got it fixed. Well that worked until last fall when it happened again. Now I have it sitting in my yard because the def heater is not working. Also I guess the granny in this has a problem that can lock the rear wheels up at highway speed, lovely, and they don't want to actually fix it. They want to monitor it and hope it's past their longer warranty before it throws you in the ditch. So we also have a LT1500 3.0 2023 duramax pick up that has 28000 miles on it. I now live in NY and was going to visit my daughter and her family this weekend. Obviously the logical thing to drive is the 23 1500 because we also have VW Jetta with 100,000 miles on it. Well that was the WRONG answer because around Buffalo NY the valve body wrapped out. Amongst all this I did have a Chevy Cruise that was a fun little car until the plastic valve cover cracked. I am at my wits end. I had a 2021 Duramax with the injector problem so I only had 6 of them go one at a time. According to GM I was getting bad fuel. After I sold it at a big loss, they miraculously decided they had a problem. As I write this, I realize I may big the sucker for going back to the same poison well for my water. But I see the other two big brands with their own problems. What gives is our ty technology so bad that every year if they change something it has to fail for 10 years before they cover it up with some new POS. In closing it might be nice if they figured out that a million miles of real world testing, is not driving a million trucks a mile to load them to ship them. I will no longer be a new truck customer, and neither should any of us until they get their s--t together. 1979 Barret Jackson mint truck may be the answer.
