“While driving on a city street the 2014 Gmc sierra 6.2 l v8 lost power and started running rough as approaching an intersection. I was able to stop, and reverse the vehicle away from the intersection, to get out of traffic. The engine light was flashing and the truck shut down, it was unable to restart. The truck had under 60,000 miles on it at the time of the first incident. It was towed to a GM dealer shop for repair. This first incident took place in august of 2019.
