I WAS DRIVING MY DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP I HAD NO BRAKES AND REAR ENDED A VEHICLE. MY BREAK PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2019 FROM A GMC DEALERSHIP IN DUNCANSVILLE PA. IN LATE NOVEMBER ON MY WAY TO WORK RANDOMLY MY SERVICE STABILI TRAK, ABS, ASSISTED STEERING, AND BRAKE LIGHT LIT UP ON MY DASH EVERY 30 SECONDS REPETITIVELY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (3 HOURS). I WORK 4 HOURS FROM HOME FOR 2 WEEKS AT A TIME I SPEND VERY LITTLE TIME IN MY VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME. I SEEN THE LIGHTS COME UP RANDOMLY WHILE OUT OF TOWN ALSO. ONCE MY WORK WEEKS WERE OVER ON MY WAY HOME THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND RECALL LATE DECEMBER. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE ANY LIGHTS NOR WERE THEY SHOWING ANY CODES. AS OF LAST MONTH THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT WERE I AM COMPLETELY LOSING MY POWER STEERING SOMETIMES FOR DAYS AT A...

ON 02/12/2020, I WAS TURNING TURNING TO PARK IN A PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHEN THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT DOWN, AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I TEMPORARILY LOSS CONTROL OF MY OWN STEERING WHEEL. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO PARK. IN ADDITION, A MESSAGE ABOUT STABILITRACK APPEARED. IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT GM HAS RECALLED OVER 1,700,000 VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE STATING THAT OWNERS WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586. GM'S OWN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 18289. HOWEVER, GM HAS ONLY INCLUDED CERTAIN VEHICLES IN THIS RECALL, MAINLY 2014 AND 2015. MY 2016 GMC SIERRA 1500 IS CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN GM'S RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SAME POWER STEERING PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. ACCORDING TO A NOTICE PUBLISHED WITH THE NHTSC, THE TRUCKS MAY EXPERIENCE A...

I WAS WAITING ON THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SO I COULD MAKE A LEFT TURN. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE MY LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS I PROCEEDED TO MAKE MY TURN ALL IF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, STABILITY TRAC LIGHT CAME ON, MY POWER LOCKS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED INTERMITTENTLY AND TRUCK ENGINE DIED. I HAD TO RESTART ENGINE AND IT DID IT AGAIN AS I WAS MOVING ATTEMPTING TO FINISH MY TURN. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS NOW ANYTIME I HAVE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKS UP AND DOES THIS. SOMETIMES IT DOES EVERYTHING I STATED ABOVE BUT ENGINE DOESN'T DIE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. A COUPLE TIMES WHEN IT DOES THIS MY TRUCK DOESN'T HAVE ANY POWER TO START BUT WAIT 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, POWER WILL RESTORE AND YOU CAN THEN START IT UP. IT ALMOST SOUNDS EXACTLY...

PERIODICALLY 3 TIMES A WEEK, WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILIZTRAK ILLUMINATES AND DRIVABILITY DECLINES, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMS, THE GEAR REMAINS IN A LOW GEAR WITHOUT SHIFTING. TURN THE IGNITION OFF FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND IT CLEARS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT AFTER 25-35 MILES. SOMETIME IT DOESN'T RESET AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS OF TURNING OFF AND ON THE IGNITION. THE CODES ARE P0700 A U0100 WITH OTHERS WHEN DEALERSHIP ANALYZED. THREE TIMES IT WAS IN THE GMC SHOP AND THREE TIMES GIVING BACK AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. I RECORDED ON VIDEO AND GAVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS PROOF.
