THESE PIECES ARE SHARP AND JAGGED. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED UNDER A SHED AND HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE DASH MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE. I LOOKED AND SAW THESE CRACKS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DEALER (COURTESY BUICK GMC LAFAYETTE, 4750 JOHNSTON ST, LAFAYETTE, LA 70506, (337) 504-7342) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECENTLY RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HIM THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE ARE TWO CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRST CRACK IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF IT. THE SECOND CRACK IS ABOVE THE AIRBAG IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE. TRUCK IS GARAGE KEPT AND NOT A DAILY DRIVEN TRUCK IT SPENDS MOST OF ITS LIFE IN THE GARAGE OUT OF SUN. THE DASHBOARD PLASTIC IS A CHEAP MATERIAL COMPARED TO THE SLIGHTLY FLEXIBLE PLASTIC THAT IS ON THE DOORS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH VARIOUS MODELS OF GM AND CHEVY WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN THE SAME SPOTS THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET. THERE WAS NOT A SPECIFIC INCIDENT IN WHICH I RECALL FOR THE DASHBOARD TO CRACK. BUT THE EASE AT WHICH THE DASH HAS SEEMED TO CRACK, THE LOCATION OF ONE AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE MAKES IT SEEM LIKE IT IS POSSIBLY A HAZARDOUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH TO BECOME SHRAPENAL IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT GIVEN THE CRACKS ARE LOCATED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AROUND THE AIRBAG.

DASH BOARD CRACKING NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED LOOKED AT ON DATE BELOW AND HAS A DASH MAT SINCE NEW

THE DOOR CABLE

CRACKED DASH BETWEEN PASSENGER AIR BAG AND DEFROSTER, CREATED A RATTLE SERVICE MANGER AT GAY GMC SAID THEY ALL CRACK $800 BUT THEY WOULD REPLACE FOR $400 I HAVE EXTENDED COVERAGE $100 DEDUCTIBLE GMC HAS A BIG PROBLEM OF PRODUCT DEFECT NOT FROM WEAR. I WANT IT REPLACED AT NO COST

THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I GOT IN AND STARTED THE IGNITION. AS SOON AS I DID, THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. ONE WEEK LATER, SAME SITUATION, AS I STARTED THE IGNITION, THE DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACKS HAVE CONTINUED TO GROW SINCE INITIALLY APPEARING. I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED SINCE THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD HAS FAILED, AND FURTHER CONCERN THAT IF THE AIR BAGS DO DEPLOY, THAT THE DASH HAS BECOME SO BRITTLE THAT THERE WILL BE SHARP CHARDS OF PLASTIC IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AS THE DASH IS SHATTERED INTO PIECES FROM THE IMPACT OF A CRASH.

DRIVERS SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE - CHROME IS PEELING EDGES ARE SHARP CUT HAND OPENING DOOR

ENGINE LIFTER ISSUE/LOW OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM RELATES TO HAVING THE LIFTERS REPLACED. THE 5.3 VORTEC ENGINE HAS AFM (ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT). DEALER WANTS $5800 TO FIX THE LIFTER ISSUE, WHILE ESTIMATES TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH NECESSARY PARTS RUNS BETWEEN $6900 AND $7200. IS THIS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM? TRUCK HAS 52,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT REGULAR INTERVALS. TRUCK WAS PARKED WHEN THE ISSUE BECAME EVIDENT DURING THE STARTUP. TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALER (TOWED) AWAITING REPAIR.

'10711995'

A CRACK HAS FORMED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD NEAR THE AIR BAG. THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITHOUT ANY MENTION OR ACTION TO REPAIR. I WILL BE CONTACTING THEM ON MONDAY ABOUT COVERING THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN ISSUE AND THE DASH SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IN THE MONTH OF JUNE 2015, I HAD TO HAVE MY MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN JANUARY 2015 OF THIS YEAR AND I FILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH FLUID BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM CAME ON AND THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS AT THE MINIMUM LEVEL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED TAT IT COULD BE THE RESULT OF LOW BRAKES AND TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND IF IT LOOSE BRAKE FLUID TO BRING IT IN.WHEN IT OCCUR AGAIN IN JUNE 2015, I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINE THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING THE WARNING LIKES ON THE DASH TO ILLUMINATE. AT JUST OVER 40,000 MILES, THIS SHOULD BE COVER BY GM AS A WARRANTY ITEM. I BELIEVE I AM DUE A REFUND.

DURING A CRASH AT HIGH SPEEDS AND FRONTAL IMPACT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS LIFE FLIGHTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND SUFFERED LIFE ALTERING INJURIES. MY 2 KIDS WERE ALSO IN THE VEHICLE AND SUSTAINED INJURIES WHICH THEY ARE STILL BEING TREATED FOR.

VEHICLE HAS CRACKED DASH IN AREA OF PASSENGER AIR BAG WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS CRACK IN THE EXACT SAME AREA AS MINE. CONTACTED GM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING FRACTURED AND PUNCTURED A TIRE AFTER DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER PARKING, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

2010 GMC SIERRA CREW CAB PICK UP TRUCK. DASH PANEL CRACKED ON UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. UPPER LEFT CORNER CRACKED A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. GMC REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE CRACKED DASH PANELS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT MESSAGE BOARD AND FACEBOOK GROUPS. *TR

ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, DASH GAUGES BLANK. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR STEERING! AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITH "REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND STABILITRAC" PROBLEMS DISPLAYED ON DASH. I WAS A MILE FROM HOME IN -10F TEMPS! I PULLED IT INTO MY SHOP. DTC CODE P2135 WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THE DEALER HAS A 2 WEEK DELAY IN GETTING INTO THEIR GARAGE! I FOUND OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY/SENSOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO WITH THE COST OF A TOW (CAN'T TRUST THE TRUCK TO MAKE TO DEALER) PLUS THE PART COST, I WILL REPAIR IT MYSELF. THE REASON FOR THIS LETTER, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER GMC TRUCK OWNERS. THEIR VEHICLE QUIT IN THE SAME MANNER. I THINK THAT "REDUCED POWER" IS NOT THE SAME AS NO POWER!!! I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOURS??? BE PREPARED FOR SOME CREATIVE DRIVING! *TR

I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM VACATION AND ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR IN MY 2010 GMC SIERRA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK REVVED UP AND MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I ABOUT GOT HIT FROM BEHIND. I PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD. I OPEN THE HOOD AND THERE'S TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK UNDER THE TRUCK. ONE OF THE COOLING LINES RUBBED THE OTHER AND CHAFFED A HOLE. COST ME 150 DOLLARS IN TOWING FEES. GM DOESN'T WANT TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY REMOVED THIS PART OFF THEIR WARRANTY IN 2009. TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKE .I CALLED GM PRIORITY CARE AND THEY HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO BECK AND MASTEN GM. THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIRS WHEN ITS A DEFECT ON GM'S PART. MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY INNOCENT DRIVERS ARE GOING TO GO BANKRUPT PAYING FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN IT WAS GM'S MISTAKE IN DESIGN. OR EVEN WORSE HOW MANY WILL GET KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY. I THINK I'VE MADE MY POINT! *JS

THE DASH IS MY TRUCK HAS STARTED TO CRACK. FROM RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I SEE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED ALTHOUGH I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM UNSATISFIED WITH GM AND FEEL THIS CRACK DASH COULD BE A HAZARD IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. I WOULD LOVE A COMPROMISE FROM GM TO AT LEAST OFFER TO PAY SOME OF THE COST OF REPLACEMENT, IF NOT ALL OF IT. *TR

ON 10/29/2014 I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH ODI NUMBER 10650997 ABOUT THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2010 GMC SIERRA SINCE THREE OF THEM HAD BROKEN OFF SINCE DECEMBER 2013. THEN ON 11/6/2014, THE PASSENGER BACK DOOR HANDLE CAME LOOSE & IS PULLING OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE DOOR HANDLES THAT HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. ALL OF THE DOOR HANDLE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE DECEMBER 2013. THIS PRESENTS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE ON THE DOOR WITH BROKEN HANDLES THAT IF THE DOOR HANDLE COMES COMPLETE OFF, IT IS HARD TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH PROPERLY CAUSING IT TO POP OPEN WHICH COULD EASILY HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION PUTTING ANYONE SITTING BY THE DOOR IN HARM'S WAY. IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING TO ME THAT ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE NOW FAILED. I WOULD DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THESE VEHICLES. TWO OF THE HANDLES WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER, THE COST TO REPLACE THE REMAINING TWO IS $200+ EACH. TO DATE GMC IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

IN DECEMBER 2013 THE PASSENGER EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF & A FEW DAYS LATER EXTERIOR DRIVER BACK DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF. THE DEALERSHIP DID REPLACE BOTH HANDLES UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, WHILE WE THERE ANOTHER MAN CAME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON HIS GMC SIERRA. IN OCTOBER 2014, THE EXTERIOR DRIVER DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF. DEALER REPLACING BUT CHARGING CUSTOMER $200+. SERVICE PERSON INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE HANDLES ON GMC SIERRAS BREAKING, AS RECENT AS THE LAST MONTH OR SO. IN INTERNET SEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THE GMC SIERRA. OTHER CAR DEALERS HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS ON THIS ALSO. ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT BE A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE, WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF OUR VEHICLE, THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY WITHOUT SOME EFFORT. THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXTREME ISSUE IF THE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH. IF THE DRIVER OR ANY PASSENGER SITTING BY A DOOR ON WHICH THE HANDLE BROKE DOES NOT GET THE DOOR TO LATCH PROPERLY IT COULD EASILY FLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. *TR

ON OR ABOUT THAT DATE, DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES ON RURAL ROADS AT SPEEDS FROM 45 TO 55 MPH, THE DAMPNESS IN THE AIR CAUSED CONDENSATION HAZE TO FORM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW. I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTERS WHICH CLEARED OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SO I COULD SEE BUT THE PASSENGERS SIDE NEVER CLEARED AND I HAD 0 VISIBILITY TO ANYTHING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD OR PULLING OUT FROM DRIVEWAYS OR ROADS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET REPAIRED TO BE TOLD GM HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS THAT SHOWED THEM HOW TO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. ALSO THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A REAR CAMERA SYSTEM THAT IS INTERMITTENT IN ITS OPERATION, SOMETIMES BLURRED IMAGES OR SOMETIMES BLANK COMPLETELY. THE DEALER DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE CAMERA SYSTEMS THINKING THE CONNECTION MIGHT HAVE AN ISSUE BY BEING CONTAMINATED,OXIDIZED, OR LOSS. NOT SURE IF RELATED BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED MY RIGHT REAR SPEAKER SEVERAL TIMES CLAIMING THAT THE SPEAKER IS SEEING SHORTS AND/OR HIGHER POWER OR SHORTING INTERNALLY. BEING THIS IS MULTIPLE TIMES (3 OR 4 TIMES FOR THIS SAME REPAIR) WHAT OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS WILL I BE SEEING AND WILL ANY OF THESE LEAD TO FIRES OF ADDITIONAL SYSTEM DAMAGE. EVEN WITH THESE KNOW ISSUES AND SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED ON THE BLOWER SYSTEM AS DOCUMENTED ON THE REPAIR INVOICE, WHILE KNOWING THAT LOSS OF VISION THROUGH THE WINDOW IS POSSIBLE, GM HAS NOT INITIATE ANY CAMPAIGN TO PROACTIVELY FIX THIS. ONLY AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND IF THE PERSON IS LUCKY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS WILL THEY ADDRESS THIS WHEN YOU COME INTO COMPLAIN ABOUT, BUT BY THAT TIME THEY HOPE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY CAN CHARGE YOU. AFTER ALL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THIS SYSTEM WORKING PROPERLY SO PEOPLE WILL PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. *TR

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2010 GMC HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREAS, INCLUDING AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE STRONG CONCERNS THAT THE DASH WILL BREAK APART IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY AND POSSIBLY INJURE OCCUPANTS IN THE CABIN. THE PLASTIC IS VERY BRITTLE AND COULD EASILY CUT SOMEONE. *TR

DEALER STATES THAT THE BRAKE MODULAR AND PLUG ARE NO GOOD. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1200.00. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC SIERRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE DRIVER FELL ASLEEP AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 10/02/2014*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INVESTIGATE BY THE MANUFACTURER'S A REPORT WAS ISSUED ON 8/8/14. UPDATED 3/9/2015 *JS

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT, DRIVER SIDE, AGAINST FIRE WALL, BROKE OFF UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS. GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO REPAIR THIS AT THEIR COST, THE EST. REPAIR COST FROM A DEALER IS $1,400 - $1,700. THIS IS A BUNCH OF BS. IS GM COVERING UP THIS SCREW UP TOO???? *JS

30 MINUTES AFTER MY WIFE PARKED OUR 2010 GMC SIERRA 1500 PICK-UP IN OUR DETACHED GARAGE, WE HEARD A BOOM AND I RAN OUTSIDE TO SEE THE GMC CAB AND HOOD ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT, MY GOD MY WIFE WAS JUST IN THERE AND THERE IS NO WAY SHE COULD HAVE SURVIVED. I PROCEEDED TO CALL 911 AND ALL THE NEIGHBORS TO EVACUATE THEIR HOMES BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A VERY WOODED AREA AND I THOUGHT THE FIRE WOULD SPREAD. IT BURNED THE GMC, MY SUBURBAN, OUR PONTOON BOAT, OUR SONS CHEVY Z-71 PICK-UP AND THE GARAGE TO THE GROUND. *TR

DASHBOARD IS GETTING A LARGE CRACK IN IT EITHER DUE TO STRESS OR SUN HEATING AND COOLING(EXPANSION/CONTRACTION). THIS IS A PLEASURE VEHICLE, NO WORK, NOTHING EVER PUT ON THE DASHBOARD. CONCERN THAT AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. *TR

MY 2010 GMC SIERRA HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE DEFROSTER NOT DOING AN ADEQUATE JOB WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 40 DEGREES. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN ON THE A/C TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS NOR WILL IT ALLOW YOU TO TURN OFF THE RECIRCULATING AIR. SO BASICALLY AFTER 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE YOU ARE JUST PUMPING THE SAME HUMID AIR THROUGH THE CABIN CAUSING SEVERE FOGGING OF ALL THE WINDOWS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND THERE IS A TSB IN PLACE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, WHICH AFFECTS THOSE OF US IN COLDER CLIMATES, I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DONE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 1 PERSON IN THE TRUCK AT A TIME, THE WINDOWS ARE SO FOGGY YOU NEED TO DRIVE WITH HER HEAD OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW JUST TO SEE. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND THIS IS THE COLDEST WINTER WE HAVE HAD IN A WHILE. I DON'T THINK IT GOT BELOW 45 LAST YEAR SO I DIDN'T NOTICE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. NOW IT IS EVERYDAY. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN - #11-01-38-001B. *TR

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 42 MPH THE VEHICLES WARNINGS LIGHTS CAME ON INFORMING ME THAT THE STABILITRAC NEEDED SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL WAS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE ENGINE WAS OPERATING AT A LOSS OF POWER. THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL STARTED TO CLUNK AS IF IT WERE GOING IN AND OUT OF ENGAGEMENT. AN IMMEDIATE POWER LOSS, I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC AND WAS IN BECOMING A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS. THE ENGINE STARTED TO PING AND FELT AS IF IT WERE FIRING ON 2 OR 3 CYLINDERS. I PULLED OVER INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER I STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT RAN NORMAL, HOWEVER APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I MANAGED TO TAKE THE "BACK ROADS" HOME WITHOUT ENDANGERING ANYONE. THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED AND RAN NORMAL. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME I WAS AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGED. I MADE IT THROUGH AND CALLED TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
