1 year old 2020 RS, and here's what's gone wrong

DDinAL said:

Update, vehicle is now 14 months old and the passenger side camera went out again on Friday 1-8-2021.
This is the same reason I waited almost 6 months for a new mirror assembly from Chevrolet, dealer said bad coax cable.
Then this morning the accessory power would not shut off after I turned the vehicle off & exited.
Radio stayed on again, same issue from January 2020.
Called Friday to reopen my case with Chevrolet advisor, and called dealer to let them know. Both said I would get a call Monday from each, service manager to arrange service and Chevrolet customer care advocate for my case. Guess how many calls I received????? YUP, NONE!!!!
Guess they have my money and I have to chase them now.

So disappointed.

Power would not turn off after shutting engine & exiting, only R.A.P. shutoff would turn everything off.
Driver power window motor replaced by dealer.
Passenger camera stopped working, dealer ordered part.
Side collision indicator stopped working while waiting on above camera, dealer replaced entire mirror assembly (they broke glass on original).
NOISE !! B-pillar rattle, passenger door rattle (probably because both my door panels have been taken on/off multiple times for above issues)
At exactly 52 weeks the battery died & left me stranded.

I bought a new car, to avoid trouble like this.
About 7 or 8 trips to the dealer for diag. & repairs, plus a rental for a week.
I expected more from a $46k vehicle.
NOT keeping this vehicle when the warranty expires.

So, I assume you're ready to sell it? I'll give you $5K and I will throw in my 2001 Blazer with only 111K on it!

IDK, asking if I want to sell my 14 month old, 46k vehicle for 5k felt like salt in a wound.

As you can imagine my Blazer purchase is a sore subject, that I regret. I wanted reliable transportation and I spent a huge sum of money for me, on what I thought would be a trouble free vehicle. It has been anything but, and I have had to make arrangements for time off with my employer to bring it to the dealer for repair, burning vacation days.

In total 15 days at the dealer and a new vehicle that has been torn apart several times. They took apart both doors, dash, & console, left/forgot a screw I found on the floor mat, missing panel fasteners under dash panel fell down while driving, they broke the glass of my passenger side mirror while diagnosing camera failure, now passenger door rattles, they scratched my interior door handle, etc..

I thought buying the year after the introduction of the model would help also, but I have talked to 2019 & 2020 owners and I think the problems are surfacing in both years. Batteries, rattles, and electronic issues are the most common (per service advisor & on here).

As for pickups, I had a 2006 Silverado that gave my zero trouble for 13 years, just standard maintenance (brakes & a battery).

My advise, stay away from these vehicles until they work the bugs out, maybe by year 4 or 5.

I feel your pain. I had similar problems with my 2020 Blazer. The cameras went out and after the dealer had the blazer for almost ten days, they fixed it and they also had to put in a new video processing unit. Then the Blazer was leaking coolant. Brought it back and after three days it was repaired. Soon after, it started leaking again. After ordering more parts and about ten days later, I got the Blazer back. So far, (cross my fingers) it has been working. But all of this occurred while it was under 5 months old and with less than 1200 miles. I feel like you, this will be the last GM vehicle for me too. I hope we both have better luck without any further problems.
