Consumer Description

MY 2006 SUBURBAN LOSES POWER IMMEDIATELY AFTER INITIAL ACCELERATION AND A "TRACTION ACTIVE" WARNING APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BECOME TRAPPED IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE LEFT HAND TURNS. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AND MY WIFE NOW FEARS FOR HER LIFE AND REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT AND AN ONCOMING CAR HAD TO SWERVE INTO TRAFFIC TO AVOID RAMMING MY STALLED VEHICLE. THE INTERNET IS LITTERED WITH SIMILAR STATEMENTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES AND IT POSES A THREAT OF FATALITIES SUBSEQUENT TO SUCH A FAILURE. WHY HAVE THERE BEEN NO RECALLS FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS IMPACTING AND THREATENING THE SAFETY OF EVERY GM TRUCK OWNER? *TR
