“When the truck goes from the auto stop to engine power the cluch in the transmission doesn't engage full shutting the truck off when trying to pull out from a stop. The truck has shut off several times when trying to pull out into traffic almost causing an accident with my 5 small children on board. Other times it will only partially engaged leaving you with almost no power to pull out in traffic. My truck is still under 100000 miles but over the 5 year warranty period.”

“Sometimes when I come to a stop my vehicle goes into the autostop mode, but when I go to accelerate it just dies in the middle of the intersection with the gas engine not engaging and the electric mode not moving the vehicle then it jerks really hard. The check engine light comes on and stays on for about a day and then goes off on it's own. I have taken the vehicle to mulitple Gmc dealerships numerous times and paided out for repairs that did not solve the problem. The dealership claims to not be able to find any codes even with the check engine light on. …”
