Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS UNDER SEVEN HUNDRED MILES ON IT DOES THE FOLLOWING: WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STARTS TO MISFIRE, STARTS TO CHUG AND JERK, IT STARTS TO HESITATE AND BECOMES ROUGH. WHEN I CALLED GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CODE FOR THIS PROBLEM #PIP5457B BUT THAT CURRENTLY THERE IS NO KNOWN REASON AND NO KNOWN REPAIR AND NO KNOWN COMPUTER CODE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND NEEDED TO SPEED UP BUT THE TRUCK STARTED TO LURCH; I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED. I CAN'T DRIVE UP A HILL IN THE CITY OR ON THE INTERSTATE AND KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SPUTTER. MY WIFE AND I ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WE JUST PAID NEARLY $49,000 FOR THIS GMC SIERRA 2017 AND ONLY OWNED IT FOR ONE WEEK WHEN THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN. IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. VERY DANGEROUS!
