Consumer Description

THE TRUCK WILL CUT ENGINE AT ANY SPEED, TOTALLY LOSING POWER TO BREAKS, STEERING, ODOMETERS ETC. IT MOSTLY COMES BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND SENDS A CODE OF MANY DIFFERENT KIDS (SERVICE PARK ASSIST, STABIITRAC, ROLL WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP, TRAILER BRAKE ASSIST ETC) THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS COULD HAPPEN DURING A CRITICAL DRIVING MOVE AND COULD END UP DEADLY. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 70,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND OUT OF STANDARD WARRANTY AND WILL PROBABLY COST A LOT TO FIX. (LABOR MOSTLY) RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS PRETTY COMMON AND VERY SCARY. GM EVEN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT (18-NA-161) SHOWING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, THUS NEED TO COVER THE RECALL RIGHT AWAY.
