Picked up vehicle from Dealership new, with 12miles on the odometer. During the trip home (over 150+ miles each way) and at 54 miles a "Forward Collision System Unavailable" warning message appeared on the dash. Stopped for coffee and restarted the vehicle and the error cleared. It re-appeared at 235 miles, and again at 427 miles along with an OBD error P0700 @cycle#763, Occurrence Cycle #2608. Returned the Vehicle to the dealership service department for repairs. The vehicle was returned and we took the truck on our first trip to Yosemite and while driving it the cruise control released the throttle times driving on a 4 lane Hwy 152. Then on the backside of Pancho Pass we entered the town of Los Banos. While driving in a 45 MPH section of Hwy 152, with no other cars in front or behind us, the truck performed an emergency stop. It applied the brakes at maximum force causing the front to dive hard and the rear tires to lose traction with the antilock cycling the brakes on and off, causing them to slip bringing the truck to a stop. At no time did the dash or the HUD display flash the collision warning or any error messages, I applied throttle and moved the Truck off the Hwy to the side of the road. Checked all pages on the dash for any indication of problems, and we drove to a parking lot inspecting the truck top to bottom to see if there were any obstructions, damage to the bumper sensors, or windshield. Returned the Truck to the dealership a second time for repairs. Received the vehicle back and during the drive home we Stopped for Dinner in San Jose and the "Forward Collision System Unavailable" returned again. Returned the vehicle for service a third time and notified Manufacture of the issues.This is a Major safety defect that GM cannot seem to repair. Current mileage of vehicle 3098.

weekly you will start the truck and have no audio of any kind. No blinker noises no collision warning noises, no radio, no on star noise. No sound at all and sound will never come back on until you turn truck off and wait 20 mins. GMC says it's a known software issue, but this has been going on since I bought the truck brand new back is April of 2025. I live in a hands free while driving state when it's come to cell phone use and can't even take a call with no audio of any kind. I don't see how GMC can say this isn't a safety issue.
