GM HAS SUBMITTED TO NHTSA A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND NHTSA HAS GRANTED GM UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO COMPLETE ITS INVESTIGATION AND TO SUBMIT ALL DATA SUPPORTING THE PETITION.

Incident: October 16, 2018 · Filed: October 16, 2018

VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM ZERO UP TO ABOUT 10 MPH. ALL ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL FLASH INCLUDING AUDIBLE WARNINGS OF MALFUNCTION. I MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN PROCEED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. A REAR END COLLISION IS INEVITABLE.

I ALREADY HAVE COMPLAINT NUMBER #11025458. I WANTED TO CONTINUE ADDING. SINCE I FILED THE COMPLAINT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST AND MORE FREQUENT AND DANGEROUS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON THEN WITHIN A DAY OR TWO TURNS OFF. STAYS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS THEN AGAIN ON AND OFF. IT'S NOT THE OIL CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE ALREADY. THAT'S THE ONLY MESSAGE WE GET WHEN WE TAKE IT TO GMC TO HAVE THE LIGHT CHECKED. THE EXCELLARATING STILL CONTINUES WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF ON ME 2 TIMES NOW WHILE WANTING TO DRIVE (EXCELLARATTING TO DRIVE) THE CAR HAS NOT WANTED TO TURN ON FOR 1HR. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY WE HAD IT CHECKED. MY TIME ON THE TRUCK KEEPS RESETTING. AFTER I SET IT THEN GO BACK IN THE TRUCK TO DRIVE IT'S RESET AGAIN, SO IT'S TURNING OFF THE BATTERY THEN TURNING IT BACK ON. I STILL GET ALOT OF THE HESSITATION TO DRIVE IT MAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKE I'M FORCING IT TO DRIVE. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO SOMEONE HITTING ME DUE TO THE HESSITATION OF IT NOT MOVING EVEN THOUGH I'M PUSHING THE GAS. I HAVE NOT HEARD NOTHING FROM YOU GUYS. THE DEALER CAN'T FIND NOTHING BUT SAID IT MIGHT BE THE BREAK SENSER THAT I PAID $180.00 TO HAVE CHANGED WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS STILL HAPPENING. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER OF A PART FOR MY TRUCK TOOK IT TO GMC THEY SAID I SHOULD BE GETTING ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE SAME COMPANY WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR STILL NOTHING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. DO I NEED A LAWYER? THE PROBLEMS ACCURE WEATHER IT'S IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, ON THE CITY ST OR HIGHWAY TURNING OR NOT IT DOES NOT MATTER IT HAPPENS WITH EVERYTHING. THANK YOU
