WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS THE SAME ISSUE CAME BACK UP AND ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP GETTING WORKED ON. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AFTER SPENDING MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM I HAD LESS THAN 30 DAYS FROM BUYING THIS VEHICLE(DRIVING COMPLETELY NORMAL WILL CAUSE THESE LIGHTS TO FLASH AT RANDOM TIMES) , ALL THE LIGHTS DO STILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND TODAY WHILE AT THE DAYTON COUNTRY STORE MY TRANSMISSION IN MY TRUCK WENT, I AM WAITING TO GET MY TRUCK TOWED FROM THE STORE TO A SHOP!

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM (OUT OF MANY) THAT MAKES THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE, STRESSFUL, AND DISCOMFORTING TO DRIVE IS HOW IT WILL RANDOMLY DECIDES TO RAISE THE IDLE TO 900+ RPM (IN GEAR) AND BASICALLY DRIVES IT'S SELF. DURING THIS CONDITION IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF ITS RANDOM PATTERN IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN $3500 IN BODY DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT. WEAR AND TEAR IS DRASTICALLY INCREASED AS THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO DRIVE ON ITS OWN AS I'M TRYING TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGNS, OR SIMPLY PARKING. DRIVE-TRAIN IS BANGING, BRAKES ARE WORKING HARDER, AND FUEL IS BEING WASTED. NOW, ADD A PAYLOAD OR TRAILER AS I OFTEN DO AND PROBLEMS ARE MAGNIFIED. ESSENTIALLY THE VEHICLE IS AGING AND WEARING ITS SELF OUT BEFORE ITS TIME. I HAVE BEEN ORDERED BY PIMA COUNTY COURT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE FIXED OR REPLACE. THE OFFICER THAT GAVE ME THE CITATION WITNESSED THE HIGH ENGINE IDLE AND AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STOP ESPECIALLY WITH A LOADED TRAILER AS I HAD THAT DAY. OFFICER ALSO TESTIFIED THIS IN COURT ON 11/4/2015. THERE IS A CURRENT LAW SUIT IN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS DEFECT. MY LOCAL DEALERS WILL NOT WORK ON VEHICLE ANYMORE DO LIABILITY AND TOLD ME TAKE IT UP WITH GM. GM HAS PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE.

I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH GM AND THIS VEHICLE RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU PAY $50,000 + FOR A VEHICLE YOU DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF PURCHASE (BRAND NEW) AND THEN FOR GM NOT TO FIND OUT WHY THE DROP IN MILEAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS MODIFIED AND SOLD COMMERCIALLY UNDER THE RMT (ROCKY MOUNTAIN TRUCK WORKS) PACKAGE. THE PACKAGE INCLUDES MODIFIED SUSPENSION AND LIGHTING. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO A PASSING GEAR CAUSING THE RPM(S) TO EXCEED 6000 AT WHICH POINT THE REV LIMITER SHUTS DOWN POWER TO THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE RPM(S) ARE BACK IN A SAFE OPERATING LIMIT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON A SECONDARY TWO LANE HIGHWAY. WHEN I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE, I ACCELERATED TO OVERTAKE THE VEHICLE BUT THE RPM LIMITER SHUT DOWN POWER MIDWAY THROUGH THE PASSING. WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND LOSS OF POWER, IT MADE FOR A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE WORKED ON THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY AND CORRECT WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAPPENING WITH ALL THE RMT MODIFIED VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN. THESE VEHICLES ARE COMMERCIALLY MARKETED AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS NOT AS LUCKY AS I WAS. *TR

WE HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE 2 WEEKS EARLIER TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL COMPONENT REPLACED BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED AND NOW WE HAVE A VEHICLE WHICH WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD AS A PIECE OF WORTHLESS PILE OF METAL. GM HAS BEEN SLOW TO REACT TO THIS ISSUE AND HAS REQUESTED THAT WE FIRST HAVE OUR INSURANCE COMPANY LOOK AT THE VEHICLE VS. SEEM SEND THEM ONE TO LOOK AT THE THIS. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATES AND STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. ACCORDING TO GM DOCUMENT ID NUMBER [XXX] THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION AND THEY HAVE PROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE TO DO THIS. IF GOING INTO TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE BUILT IN DELAY CAN CAUSE CLOSE CALLS AT BEST AND WORST CASE AN ACCIDENT. THIS COUPLED WITH THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES MENTIONED IN DOCUMENT ID NUMBER 3575856 CREATES THE PERFECT STORM FOR INJURY AND / OR DEATH. GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OTHER THAN TO SAY THEY FEEL IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS COVERS VIRTUALLY ALL GM VEHICLES SINCE 2007 WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD MY TRUCK'S ECM REPROGRAMMED LAST FRIDAY (1/17) DUE TO RECALL #14V007, AND EARLIER THIS EVENING (1/24) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN AND THE DIC SHOWED AN "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" MESSAGE. THE ENGINE RAN VERY SLUGGISH AND I PARKED IT AS GM RECOMMENDED TO DO IN THEIR RECALL LETTER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW. I THOUGHT THAT THE NEW SOFTWARE WAS SUPPOSED TO CORRECT THAT ISSUE? *TR
