The contact owns a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle jerked, lost motive power, and almost stopped unintendedly. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull into a parking lot, where the vehicle shut off.

Plugged in engine block heater and the car erupted in flames. Total loss.
The computer lights up the dash reducing power and turning off power to trailer brakes. This has almost caused an accident on several occasions . It happens a couple of times per trips. This vehicle has been in the shop a couple of times per month since it was put into service. Glenn Polk Chevrolet has worked on it each time and the problem is still there. This truck has also had several injector issues. There is an open case with this vehicle with General Motors with no resolution. I have filled out forms on each of my 2020 GMC's 3500's.
