Common Issues With GM Vehicles

General Motors vehicles across multiple brands share several commonly documented issues. AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifter failures causing a ticking noise and oil consumption are one of the most widespread and costly problems in V8-powered GM vehicles. Transmission issues including rough shifting, delayed engagement, and solenoid failures are frequently reported. GM owners often encounter problems with the intake manifold gaskets, particularly in older 3800 V6 engines. Electrical gremlins affecting the BCM (Body Control Module), power windows, and instrument clusters are also common. Rear differential and transfer case fluid leaks are frequently noted in GM trucks and SUVs.
