Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I got a check engine light while and engine goes into reduced power mode. You can't drive in reduced power mode! I have to clear it to move the truck. I did a scan which showed a p2138 code. But its just in memory and the dealer wont fix it unless its an active code but can't drive to the dealer in reduced power mode. Its a catch 22”
NHTSA complaint #11258572, filed 2019-09, 29,000 miles“The original owner of my vehicle successfully had GM buy back this truck. The nox sensors and wiring harness had been replaced three times which cleared the codes and allowed the vehicle to appear to be in proper working condition. When GM bought the vehicle back from the original owner, GM went through and supposedly fixed the issue and branded the title as a manufacturer buyback and put the vehicle back on the market to the general public. I purchased this vehicle knowing all of this and trusting that if GM said they fixed the issue, they had really fixed it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317002, filed 2020-03, 59,000 miles“Upon entering my vehicle, I noticed a computer module had fallen out of the drivers side dash and was resting on the accelerator pedal. Upon further examination, it appears this module was held in place by two sided tape which failed to secure the unit. The wires attached to the unit were long enough to block access to both the accelerator and brake pedal. Therefore, it is my concern that had this unit fallen out while the vehicle was in motion, access to the brake and/or accelerator pedals could have been impeded and an accident causing serious injury or fatalities could have occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #11031382, filed 2017-10, 4,500 miles“Received a P2138 Throttle/Pedal position sensor/switch D / E voltage correlation code while driving that caused Reduced Power and stabilitrak errors. The reduced power mode it went into made the truck unable to accelerate in a safe manner and made the truck jump wildly as it attempted to accelerate.”
NHTSA complaint #11670872, filed 2025-07“The computer screen jumps around with the dash data when you are driving. The radio changes functions and channels. This is a huge distraction and dangerous when driving. Additionally, when you turn the radio off the screen keeps jumping around to different functions and channels.”
