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 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

Since I purchased the vehicle 2 yrs ago I have complained to Dodge and GMC about the issues involving the car. It has hessitated when pushing on the gas after being in a stop. It has accelerated on its own on a stop light gone all the way to 4. I had to put it on park for it to stop.the car has completely turned off on me several times then the check engine light turns on and then after 2-3 days turns off along with the road hazzard light. When I take it to have it checked they find nothing. I finally got tired of it took it to Dodge to have it diagnose paid $150.1. they did not offer a loaner car 2. they had my car for almost 2 days just for a diagnossic test 3. they did not have a hybrid specialist there nor did they sent it to one. They didnt find nothing wrong with it just suggested to do transmission change, change the wires to the spark plugs and change the spark plugs after doing all that. The problem continued. I then took it to GMC paid another $150 for them to do a diagnosis test. They also did not find anything wrong with it but seen that it had a extended warranty of the throttles and said that could be it. After changing that the problem still continued. The only thing that the guy told me from me explaining the problems is it could be the brake senser. Paid &170.00. Problem still continued nothing has changed. This is dangerous and could cause an accident, the car turning completely off on me hessitating to drive and accelerating on it's own when on park is dangerous. I have done more than my park in taking the car to see what's wrong with it yet no one can find nothing wrong with it the machine says nothing when I want the problem to acure to show them what I am talking about it does not do it. I don't know what else to do. But this is dangerous very very dangerous. I paid alot with no results to show for it. Please look into this and have it checked.

My truck accelerates and abruptly stops while slowing down under 20 mph. Under 20 mph the engine is suppose to switch over to connect to hybrid battery system. Sometimes the vehicle abruptly stops while turning or sometimes the car cuts all the way off. I purchased the vehicle in 2010 and I have reported this problem since 2013. Overtime I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they would tell me that they couldn't duplicate the problem. I recently had major engine problems involving the lifters according to their diagnostic machine. The cost was 6000 to repair. After repairing the lifters the car still has the spontaneous accelerating and stopping issues.we were told by the service manager at Chevrolet that we should "just dump the vehicle and they had a hybrid in the back they had over a month and they can't figure out whats wrong with it". I paid over 38,000 for this truck at their dealer ship. Ive invested thousands in repair costs. I won't sell it because I know it has safety hazards. I drive with caution because I don't know when to expect the car to accelerate.
