New 2021 GMC Sierra....975 miles. Got in it last night, power steering is out, braking is hard, and warning lights lit up.
MEssage says power steering out and check esc.....drove home by wrestling it on in. Turned off. Started again and all is well.
Should I ignore it or take it in. I am leaning taking it in.
Second GMC that broke in under 1000 miles. I dont know why I refused to learn my lesson. The first was a 2018 that wouldnt come out of 4 low.

Why would you ignore it? It's a brand new truck that's on the fritz.
You bring that thing back to dealership and sort it out.
What if it does that when your going down the highway?

If you want a solid GM made truck then buy a Chevy. GMC= Gotta mechanic coming.

I have a 2019 that has done that a couple times. You have to bring it in while it’s happening or they won’t be able to do anything about it from what my dealer told me. They told me it isn’t storing the codes for whatever is happening. I’m waiting for it to happen again when Im near a dealer.

That's genius level thinking right there...

Hell yes you bring it back to the dealer.
Or bring it to the nearest Toyota dealership and trade for a Tundra

It is a beautiful truck. maybe I can use it as a planter or some thing along those lines.

Forcefully drive it into the showroom and tell them the brakes and power steering are out. I would be pissed.
Posted on 11/3/20 at 2:15 pm to tigerfoot
you have a long time before the warranty is out. i wouldn't be too concerned for now.

IF you can’t make the problem happen for the dealer, you’re gonna be SOL, unless this is a common problem.
Posted on 11/3/20 at 2:48 pm to tigerfoot
Take it back. We shouldn't have to tell you that.

They're literally made on the same production line:

I know that. Ive owned 3 GM branded chevy trucks. No issues just routine maintenance. Put over 200k on each of them.

That’s fricking ridiculous. How the hell are you supposed to do that say it happens on your way to work.

TOW TRUCK sent by dealership and make them brang ya a loaner.

It's your hydro boost unit. There should be a bulletin on it. If your dealer says he can't diagnose it they are either incompetent or lying.
