I bought the 2021 Sierra in April, 2021 with high hopes. After 3,600 miles, the #4 cylinder lifter went bad requiring the removal of the head and valve lifters. Apparently, this is pretty common with the 5.3 liter engine with AFM. Oh, and the ride and mileage are horrible. As soon as I get the vehicle title from the state, I'm selling it and going back to a Buick Enclave.

My 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 had to have new lifters and push rods put in at 3600 miles then again at 5200 miles had the same problem waiting on dealership and General Motors to get back with me.I think they should buy back this truck in my opinion nobody should have this problem with a brand new truck purchased in January 2021.steelworker96@gmail.com

Complete failure needed to be towed in three times less than 500 miles. Power or computer problems and still trying to fix!
Broke down at 1,236 miles

Bought a 2021 AT4 with 3.0L Duramax. Ordered it and waited 4 months for it to arrive. Love the ride & engine. Had to be towed to dealer with 1,236 miles due to a "transmission module issue." Been 3 days haven't heard back. Think transmission might've blown. Wouldn't go in reverse, would go into reverse position but wouldn't move. Engine power was reduced & check engine light came on. The 10 speed transmission was supposed to be solid.... be cautious
Great Pickup
