WIFE DRIVING TRUCK TO WORK " REDUCED ENGINE POWER", MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, AND ALSO SAID TRACTION CONTROL WAS DISABLED. POWER WAS REDUCED GRADUALLY TO TEN MILES PER HOUR. SHE FLOORED THE GAS, NOTHING. TURNED IT OFF, RESTARTED IT, NOTHING. ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION DISABLED LIGHTED WERE ILLUMINATED. ALSO THE REAR MIRROR TEMPERATURE DISPLAY FLICKERS ALL THE TIME. DRL BURN OUT ALMOST DAILY. GMCS HAVE MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING. IMAGINE A CAR SHUTTING DOWN ON YOU WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE REAR WIPER WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE WORKING, THERE IS ALSO A MESSAGE ABOUT FIXING THE RIDE CONTROL. FOR ALL THE BAIL MONEY GMC GOT, THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE MISTAKES THEY MADE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE STABILI-TRAC SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED IN THE DIC, THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED IN THE DIC, THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED BY 16% IN THE DIC. DROVE VEHICLE TO EXIT RAMP AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NO WARNINGS IN THE DIC. THE ENGINE DID NOT HOWEVER RUN SMOOTHLY. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO CLEAR SOME CODES AND REPLACED THE TPS. CHECKED ALL FUSES. NO FURTHER PROBLEM. HOWEVER A FRIEND HAS THE SAME VEHICLE IN A 2010 MODEL. SAME PROBLEM DEALER REPLACED A THROTTLE BODY. CHECK OUT THE GM FORUM AT HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0E807E/0 THIS FORUM SHOWS LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND IN SOME CASES CAUSING ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON 1-24-2013, AND SO FAR IT APPEARS THAT MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED, HOWEVER IT APPEARS GM IS NOT REALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR THE NEXT OUT OF TOWN TRIP I TAKE. *TR
