Consumer Description

TRUCK WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. COMPLETELY INOPERABLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN WILL START UP WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DIFFERENTLY DONE TO IT. LEFT ME AND MY KIDS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY CHILDREN WHILE STRANDED THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE USED IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS!!! SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEMS TO NO AVAIL. IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT THE GENERAL SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND THEIR CHILDREN!!! RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND MAKE US WHOLE!!!
