Severe Transmission Failure on a New GMC Sierra 2500 in Colorado

Common Questions

2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Lemon Law Questions in Colorado

Do GMC Sierra trucks have transmission problems?
Some GMC Sierra owners have reported transmission concerns including harsh shifting, delayed gear engagement, and clunking during gear changes. The valve body, which directs hydraulic fluid to engage gears, can be a source of these issues. When these problems are severe and cannot be resolved after multiple repair attempts, the vehicle may qualify for lemon law protection.
Does Colorado lemon law apply to GMC trucks?
Yes. Colorado's Lemon Law (Colorado Revised Statutes § 42-10-101 et seq.) covers new motor vehicles sold or leased in Colorado. If a defect that substantially impairs the use and market value of your GMC Sierra cannot be repaired within three attempts (two for a safety-based nonconformity) or the vehicle has been out of service for 24 or more business days, the thresholds for vehicles sold or leased on or after August 7, 2024, you may be entitled to a buyback or replacement.
What qualifies as a 'substantial defect' under Colorado's lemon law?
A substantial defect is one that substantially impairs the vehicle's use and market value, the Colorado standard under C.R.S. § 42-10-103.
