Randomly when the truck is turned on, the turn signals will stop working, no noise, nothing. When this happens, the infotainment system also stops working. It is unsafe to be driving and not knowing if your signals are working or not. This has been happening since the truck was purchased from the dealer.

The electronic part of the truck gave a warning and shut off my trailer brake system while towing a 21K 5th wheel trailer (X2). The truck is available for inspection. Any part of the electronics package that has the ability to disable a trailer braking system while towing needs to be removed/disabled immediately. The truck has not been seen by a dealer yet. yes there was a warning I briefly saw both times, but I can't say what it said.

I am reporting a potential safety defect involving Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT tires size LT275/65R20. I purchased a new 2025 GMC Sierra 3500HD in August 2025. By the time the vehicle reached approximately 1,800 miles, noticeable sidewall bulges appeared on both rear tires. As a 36-year automotive professional, I recognized the serious safety risk posed by this condition and replaced all four tires at my own expense with a different brand. Since then, I have seen multiple reports of similar sidewall failures on brand-new trucks, which suggests this may be a systemic issue. Based on my experience and these reports, I believe this defect may be known to both Goodyear and GM but has not been adequately addressed. I urge the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to investigate this matter to determine whether these tires pose a significant safety risk to the public. Vehicle Information: Make & Model: 2025 GMC Sierra 3500HD Tire Model: Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT tire size LT275/65R20. Mileage at Issue: ~1,800 miles Purchase Date: August 2025 Summary of Issue: Sidewall bulging on new tires, potential for blowout or loss of vehicle control.
