It was my first ever brand new car, a late model 2015 Denali with the 6.2 and the 8speed transmission. The torque converter had problems throughout they replaced it at 20k miles but it was still acting up. The A/C failed at 48k miles and that was the final straw for me.

Other failures, leaking/failed radio antenna, failed window regulator, rattle in dash, lots of visits for the torque converter vibrations, awful GM service locally given the price of the truck I would have expected better service throughout.

I think that 8 speed transmission is a POS. I had mine in at 4000 miles for some torque converter chattering. They’re claiming it was some fluid recall thing and they’re on their third blend. It’s been OK since the fluid change. That was 35,000 ago so maybe.

It was all done for maximum fuel economy and there were issues with the 8 speed autos.

I took the 'Mero into the dealer because of the transmission. They couldn't find an issue with it.

Loved the car, would buy another one, but not with an automatic.

Daily 2018 Jeep Trackhawk, if I can keep the foot out of it MPG isn't too bad. But that 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds, I just can't.

Used to be brand loyal to GM, it will be a long cold day in hell before I give my good money to that bunch of criminals.

Wife's 2008 TrailBlazer SS, 23,000 on the odometer and we have the 2019 Ford Transit Connect for carrying the Berners around, it is their van.

Didn't GM design the 8 speed and Ford the 10 speed. I heard the story Ford saw what GM was doing and walked away from the deal. Both GM 8 speeds I had, one in the Denali and one in the 17 V, were total pieces of shit. The 8 speed in the Hawk has been great.
