Purchased this 2022 GMC AT4 2500HD in 2022. Drove off the lot and traveled 40 miles home. Got hom,000e and pulled out of my driveway and noticed terrible bump in second gear I believe. Notified dealer and returned truck for them to replace 2 valve bodies.

It's been doing this at random time

The Exhaust Pressure Differential Sensor Pipe (boost pipe) blew off while towing a heavy trailer uphill on a busy interstate. I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get as far as possible off the road. The truck was sent into limp mode and would barely crawl. Our lives were put at risk of being hit by the many tractor trailers traveling that highway, or another driver traveling at high speeds.

Filled tank with diesel and truck wouldn’t turn back on. We were next to a jiffy lube and they were able to run a scan and it said there was a broken fuel module. There’s only around 60,000 miles on it, it’s 4 years old, and left my son and I stranded.
