They possibly could although they have to prove the tire size increase caused the issue but i work for GM here in Canada and we typically would not see this as an issue . Your warranty isnt void if you tow a trailer nor increasing the tire size but not all dealerships are created equal or the district service managers that say what is warranty and what is not . Lift kits are an issue though and a harder mountain to climb , excuse the pun , when fighting for warranty . The higher the lift the bigger the denial , here in Canada a customer bought a brand new truck with a Rough Country 6 inch lift installed from a dealer then rolled the truck killing him , family is suing GM , the dealer and Rough Country . Not sure what the outcome was but dealers , if they want GM backing , have stopped installing lift kits on new trucks ..

Pretty common for a slow burn failure to cause this. System sees something out of parameters in a certain scenario, clears itself after enough time, rinse and repeat. Sometimes it's nothing, sometimes it's a deterioration that will leave you stranded with enough time. I'd still talk to the dealer and have them pull the logs using a time stamp from when it happened.

As I watched, I wondered why the owners manual was not discussed about what to do when the ride shut down, and what it said about operating the vehicle in a way to avoid shut down.

I think you should take it back to the dealer before resetting the battery. Resetting the battery may clear the logs of what is going wrong making the technicians job of diagnosing the problem much harder. They need to see the error codes before they are cleared. Just a thought.

I think GM’s Vortec and Duramax engines prior to its buyout were superior to the engines of Ford and Dodge, with exception to the transmissions of the GM trucks and maybe the Cummins depending on the year. However after it’s buyout, GM’s engines just lost their reliability imo. Even the 5.3 started suffering from severe oil sludging and it’s cylinder deactivation would fail catastrophically. Now, the engine I trust most out of them all is the Cummins but then I don’t trust anything else about those Rams! They really did push me into the Toyota iForce V8s and I LOVE mine! Still miss my old 05’ Suburban with the 5.3 that had no issues ever and I sold it at almost 200k miles because of rust to my mechanic.

I've been on that exact trail in my bone stock 1987 Ford Bronco with stock tires. It was actually boring. What an absolute joke we are becoming. Everything automated and cameras everywhere. This will not end well for EVs.

pro tip for the kids at home: If your electric (or any) vehicle is having issues, prolly shouldn't stand directly in front of it while its pointing downhill.

Note to GM … Fit a big reset switch to disconnect the 12 v supply every 10 minutes in the centre of the dash !!!

Sadly - my exact experience with every GM I have ever purchase new.

For your safety, never go out alone, especially in inclement weather, in a vehicle you don’t have confidence in.

I'm glad I bought a fixer upper H2 that I've been fixing slowly. Now I can keep it and buy a house instead of the EV.

I wish they would do a side by side comparison when they take these fancy new trucks offroad. Have a pos 85 jeep follow with similar sized tires and see which one does better

I would look at the ride height sensors if your off-road and you flex too much, the sensor will think it’s out of range!f Failed, and then it goes into limp home mode. I would tested it by unhooking the sensor from the suspension and move it all the way up all the way down and see if that’s the exact same problem.

A lot of the time the rear recovery rings that hang down will save you from scratching your hitch receiver or your bumper. It's a lot easier and cheaper to replace the recovery rings than it is to replace the hitch or re-paint a bumper.

@@briany990 There are plenty of "simple" failures in combustion cars that due to poor design are extremely hard or time consuming to fix and therefore expensive, like the oil gaskets in a northstar Cadillac or a modern BMW, there are also Audis that require dissasembling the entire front end, recent GM turbocharged 4 cylinders that are anything but easy to fix, the AWD system on any BMW or the infamous Ford 5.4 3 valve that is so expensive to repair when it fails that it's cheaper to simply replace the whole engine.

The ho-Hummer and the Defender debacle really take the wind out of the enthusiastic sails from these "off-road" rigs. While TFL takes the hit from these tests, it contributes to informed buyer decisions. So, thank you for that.

Modern cars put a computer between the driver and things like brakes, throttle, gears, - everything. YOU have no control, it does. You merely submit "suggestions" and the computer decides whether it will adopt them. Anyone who has used computers for a while learns not to depend on them for life and death issues. You never know when a bit will be mis-set.
