| 2007 | STEERING | THE TRUCK EXPERIENCES ENGINE STUTTER AT LOW IDLE (>1000RPMS) VARYING FROM 1000 RPMS TO 200 RPMS WITH FELT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT LOW RPMS. AT LOWER RPMS, TYPICALLY AT STOPS OR LOW IDLE TURNS, THE TRUCK WILL STALL WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL (TAPPING THE BRAKE EQUALS SLAMMING THE BRAKE). RECENTLY, THE ISSUE IS NOW BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND NOW OCCURRING WHILE MAKING LOW IDLE TURNS INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING A STALL. THE ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO DROP THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, IN TRAFFIC, AND RESTART HOPING THE BUMP START WILL OCCUR ON THE FIRST TRY BEFORE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAVE CALLED GM SERVICE SHOPS, THE SERVICE CENTER IN DETROIT AS WELL AS LOOKED FOR RECALLS ONLINE AND THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL POSTINGS OR KNOWLEDGE OF THESE PROBLEMS DESPITE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS FOUND IN GMC/CHEVY FORUMS. THIS ISSUE IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE IN MY OPINION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR |
| 2011 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | A DAY OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE I WAS IN A CRAMPED PARKING LOT AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE GOING FORWARD AND ONCE IN REVERSE BEFORE I REALIZED THAT MY FOOT WAS PARTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PARTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES SINCE THEN. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM WEARING WIDE SOLED WORK SHOES. (GMC MARKETS THIS VEHICLE AS A WORK TRUCK.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED ME TO NEARLY TRAP A WOMAN WHO WAS STANDING BEHIND HER CAR IN A GAS STATION. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BUT SHE AND I WERE BOTH VISIBLY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT. I REPORTED THE CONDITION TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THE RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL. *TR |
