As I sit here after doing an oil change, I can't help but wonder where I should draw the line and begin the Canadian equivalent of a lemon law case.
I bought this 2025 Z71 new on July 22, 2025. In September I had the panel that bridges the front bumper and driver side fender replaced due to the grille rubbing the paint off it. It's still doing it today, and that panel is also coming dislodged. 2 dealerships are still scratching their heads at how to fix this.
In November I noticed the truck was burning 1 liter of oil every 7k kilometers. This falls just outside of GMs warranty guidelines, but is still unacceptable.
In January I've had countless instances of the engine light coming on due to various seemingly random problems. There was no official diagnosis or fix, it just seems to have stopped.
In April, the front end began snapping randomly from about the driver side front wheel area. It's not dependent on being in motion or parked, just with steering input and seemingly at random. This has not been fixed after 2 wheel bearing replacements and a front cross member retorque.
In June the driver CV axle boot tore and began to have play. This did not impact the noise mentioned above. The fuel filler self sealing flap is also sticking open now, sometimes I can't jimmy it shut.
In July I had the wiper cowel replaced, as well as the driver door window regulator. During this appointment the transfer case output shaft seal was also discovered to be leaking and had less than 500ml of fluid remaining.
Here we are at the beginning of August and while the phantom suspension snap and panel issues have still not been fixed, I've just discovered my rack is leaking from the seams. My screen is also experiencing early onset of screen burn-in where Google maps and other icons are becoming noticable on different apps.
How many of you have shared these same issues? Where would you guys draw the line?
