“While driving in heavy city traffic, my warning lights came on for reduced power , 'traction control malfunction, 'stabilitrac and ABS lights came on. Power reduced to 25mph. I was close to the dealership and went there right away. The service writer told me I would have to wait at least 2 to 4 hrs before anyone could look at. My mileage was 36,432...432 miles out of bumper to bumper warranty...he told me the charges for diagnosing would be $130. I agreed. …”

“Injectors sticking open. Brought to dealer at 26,000 miles after it broke down 200 miles away. That was after the Gmc dealership told us it should be ok to drive. Injector stuck open and the dealer we broke down at said the vehicle could catch fire if we kept driving. They replaced the injector that was the issue. Now last week another different injector failed. This time the inside of the vehicle filled with the smell of fuel and was violently shaking on the road. We couldn't pull over rodger away because we weren't on a safe road to stop at. Ended up driving it to the nearest gas station. …”

“After picking up our new truck we noticed that the vehicle's engine was short jumping at low speeds, especially when in traffic - at first when this occurs you have to almost ask yourself did I hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. After only a couple weeks of ownership we dropped off our new vehicle to be repaired. Dealer 's Gmc certified technician had to consult with Gmc corporate to help troubleshoot and then decided to replace the lower and upper engine valve covers, and the transmission control module; which was a quick fix that lasted a little over a week. …”

“Approximately 2 months ago, the vehicle shut down in the middle of high speed traffic. Several warning indicators appeared (e.g. Stabilitrack off , etc.), then the vehicle immediately shut down. Propulsion stopped and the vehicle slowly came to a stop. Luckily, my wife was able to steer off to the side of the road safely. It was towed to the dealer, although it was able to restart. The dealer had fixed it, then returned the vehicle to us. Two months later, the identical thing occurred; same error messages followed by the vehicle shutting down, in the middle of driving it. …”
