Such a Disappointment
Joe, 01/29/2025
2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 10A)
This is the first American truck that I have purchased. I've owned a couple of Tundras prior to this truck and never experienced one issue. I've had my 2025 GMC 1500 Denali for five weeks and have encountered several issues. The first issue occurred on day three of ownership. The engine light came on. Went to dealership and was informed that there was an issue with an actuator. Several … days later radio started to stop for one to two seconds. This occurs every so often. Spoke with dealership and was informed that was a known issue. Today, I was driving and pushed the maps button on the display. Nothing happened. Pushed numerous buttons on display. Display is frozen. Tried to turn down radio with volume knob. I had no control over audio. Pulled over. Turned off truck waited a few seconds turned truck back on. Display still locked. I really wanted this truck because of its looks and because it's an American brand. I'm extremely disappointed.
