Sample 2023 GMC SIERRA 1500 Owner Complaints (STRUCTURE)

ODI #11531780 • Incident Date: 07/12/2023
In past three weeks, the tailgate just drops down for no reason at all. Sometimes going down the highway, other times while I am parking vehicle the Tailgate Lowers itself automatically.????Is their a recall out for this, if not should be as you can lose portions of a load in the bed, right out in highway in traffic.....What action if any should I take at this point.
ODI #11542786 • Incident Date: 08/01/2023
I have approximately 7K miles on my truck. The problem I am reporting is the omission of a warning light or some other method of warning if the tailgate which is electronically controlled by a button center near the console, central to and just above an area provided for storage of loose personal items, and also activated by a electronic key FOB which I keep in my pocket while driving. I have had at least 8 instances of the gate opening while driving. I expect others have had the same issue. It seems GM could add a dash light or tone if this happens while vehicle is in motion.
ODI #11558402 • Incident Date: 10/22/2023
Tailgate opens by itself, a know issue by GM and Sierra drivers. Mine was damaged by opening and banging against my travel trailer. I have been talking with GM about this since September. Today a different department told me they require up to 30 days to investigate and if I pay for the repairs myself they will cancel the investigation. Objects flying out of my pickup bed could damage my vehicle, my camper and others on the road.
ODI #11571882 • Incident Date: 02/08/2024
2023 GMC 1500 Sierra Denali Ultimate tailgate opens without being commanded. This has happened approximately six times with damage to the tailgate in the last incident on 2/8/2024. There were not any warning lights. Safety is affected by having an open tailgate and cargo potentially leaving the vehicle. I have seen a recall pending for the same issue however seems to be limited to 2500 / 3500 series vehicles.
ODI #11575159 • Incident Date: 02/23/2024
On four different occasions my tailgate came down by itself. Once while driving and on three other occasions before I drove off.

ODI #11636190 • Incident Date: 01/15/2025
The truck stopped in the middle of an intersection with a transmission error code stating it could no longer shift. The transmission was locked and unable shift or move.
ODI #11639438 • Incident Date: 01/23/2025
My check engine light came on so I stopped at a dealership to have it checked out. The dealership in Louisiana said it just needed to be updated. So I made the trip to Laredo, Texas to go to work. The next day the truck went into reduced acceleration and nearly caused me to wreck on the interstate. I had the vehichle towed to the closest GMV dealership. It turns out these vehicles have a faulty engine coolant control valve. The part is on national back order with no ETA. GMC is knowingly allow their customers to operate the trucks with this part that is know to fail. I am currently stranded in South Texas and I will have to purchase a rental vehicle to get back home to Louisiana. GMC will not help me at all with this situation.
ODI #11639746 • Incident Date: 01/06/2025
While under light acceleration, the vehicle violently down shifts causing the rear wheels to briefly lock up around 45mph. The vehicle traction control activates on dry road way but no check engine light is displayed. The dealership claims the valve body in the transmission is to blame and has a three month back order due to several vehicles with the same failure. The safety issue could be when the rear wheels breifly lock up during wet or slippery conditions and could cause the vehicle to lose control causing a crash.
ODI #11639825 • Incident Date: 12/04/2024
On Wednesday December 4th 2024 at 5:45 am on my drive to work my engine shut down, truck electronically shifted into neutral, and notified me to restart my engine. After I rolled to a stop in a safe area off the main road i tried to restart my engine, with no success. I then called my local dealership to inform them of the issue, and they instructed me to call OnStar and have them setup a tow to their facility. Once the vehicle was delivered it took the dealership 24 hours to determine that the engine had locked up and a replacement was needed. It has now been almost 2 months with no update on my truck or the replacement engine.
