“TCM failed. Vehicle is at the dealership awaiting new part for over three months now. Continue to get extended ETA on the part, latest communication was maybe November before it ships. Last vehicle dealership had took a year for the replacement TCM Vehicle immediately went into 'limp mode' on highway, was very unsafe because could only go 20-25mph. Confirmed by dealer upon them working on pickup it was the TCM. They, as well as we researched, and found stated that this is widespread problem in 2011-2016 year Duramaxes. We were left vehicleless. We tow trailers for our business and fifth wheel camper for personal use. Very detrimental to our livelihood.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jun 2023
“When pulling out into busy traffic the TCM quit and lost all power to the wheels. Could not move. Luckily the traffic seen we had a issue and swerved to go around us. We found out later this has been a huge issue for GM with TCM on units like mine. If traffic would not have been paying attention they would have hit us and caused injuries to my family and probably theirs. Glad we were not pulling out onto a highway with high speed traffic.”Owner report · Power Train · Apr 2023
“I was driving on an unpaved maintained road at night and heard a loud bang and bright flash came to a stop and realized I couldn't see out of the door windows. The side curtain bags deployed.

Noone wants to replace the bags or damaged interior and insurance won't file a claim due to no damage to truck.”Owner report · Air Bags · Sep 2022
