NHTSA Complaint #10679355 — 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500 HD

I AM AN ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN, I OWN AN AUTO/TRUCK REPAIR FACILITY. WE ARE A STATE OF OREGON AUTHORIZED DEQ REPAIR FACILITY, STATE OF OREGON DAS FLEET REPAIR FACILITY, US ARMY BASE VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP AND MORE. DRIVING MY TRUCK TO TACOMA WASHINGTON. I WAS TOWING A VEHICLE ON IN THE RIGHT SLOW LANE, AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE VIBRATED AND RUNS ON 1/2 CYLINDERS. CANNOT BRAKE OR STEER, TOTAL LACK OF POWER. SEMI-TRUCK NEARLY REAR ENDS ME AS I CANNOT GO OVER 10 MPH. NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, PERIOD. I WAS IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND EVERYONE WAS SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID PILE-UP AS I HAD NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO. A MILE OR SO LATER I PULLED OVER, AND SHUT OFF TRUCK. RESTARTED FEW MINUTES LATER AND CEL WAS ON, BUT REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS OUT. I CONTINUED MY DRIVE, BUT NOW CAUTIOUSLY. IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES GETTING TO TACOMA, AND 5 TIMES RETURNING BACK TO PDX. NOW AFRAID OF TRUCK. I FINALLY ARRIVED TO MY SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND SCANNED. CODES READ MAF FAIL, TPS FAIL. REPLACED THROTTLE PEDAL ASSY, THROTTLE BODY WITH POSITION SENSOR, WIRING TO THE THROTTLE BODY, CHECKED GROUNDS, REPLACED BATTERY AND MORE AS STATED BY GM TECH'S. STILL HAPPENS EVERY DAY. SEEMS LIKE UNDER LOW ACCELERATION, ENGINE BUCKS THEN CEL APPEARS AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER RETURNS. GM HAS NO OFFERS OR EXPLANATIONS FOR REPAIRS. I AM A CERTIFIED ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN AND HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS UNTIL I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAPPENS TO OTHERS. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MOST GM OWNERS IN THE "FLY BY WIRE" TYPE OF VEHICLES. NO FIXES, NO HELP FROM GM. THIS HAS AND IS STILL OCCURRING EVEN TODAY 1/27/2015 WITH NO FIXES. VEHICLE IS BEING PARKED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE AS THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN #[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *TR
