Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Traction active appears on display - while stopped at a very dangerous intersection, I pressed the accelerator only to have the traction active light appear on the display and the vehicle would not move. I had to let off the gas and then press it again in order for the vehicle to move. This is a major safety concern as I am unable to accelerate at an appropriate speed in order to avoid an accident while taking off from a stop.”

NHTSA complaint #10308586, filed 2010-02, 94,000 miles

“I recently had my vehicle in my service dept. For an on-going problem of which heritage Gmc could not repair. From a standstill, when I would accelerate, the vehicle would lose power and not move after about 20 feet or so and a ?traction active? Message would appear on the display. This was a very serious safety concern as the vehicle would end up in the middle of the road with loss of power and cars behind me will almost re end my car. It is an intermittent happening 6 or more time daily, would happen when I would drive from a stop sign or red light. …”

NHTSA complaint #10321474, filed 2010-03, 84,000 miles

“Actuators stopped functioning properly to control A/C and heat in vehicle when turned on. If A/C is turned on, it may run for awhile then turn to heating cycle on one side of the vehicle or the other. This happens whether the vehicle is in motion or not. If heat is called for in winter, I.e. To defrost windows, the heat may or may not run or if running may turn to A/C. Many times in winter the heat turns to A/C and there is no heat entering the vehicle. Noted there were numerous Gmc vehicles with the same issue as late as 2015 when looking on the internet.”
