The worst problem I have with this vehicle is that it will cut power to propulsion without any warning. I was driving down a suburban roadway, not on the freeway, thank God. When the truck's automatic gear shift wouldn't engage, I went from going 30 mph to 5 mph in seconds. The accelerator pedal wouldn't respond, I managed to coax my truck into a parking lot and restart the engine. Other times the head lights will not come on. Just today, I turned on the left turn signal and the Stabilitrack warning light came on, plus the radio made a brief noise of static. This particular issue appeared and disappeared in one second. I'm concerned that these problems are a manufacturer's mistake, and I want it fixed as soon as possible. My mechanic has tried repeatedly to find the cause but has been unsuccessful.

The driver's side headlamp wiring is faulty. I have continually replaced headlamps, only to have them need replacing in a month or two.

Battery died due to headlights coming on while car was parked. Lights can not be shut off from switch, opening the hood I detected electrical smell. I removed the fuse box cover and noticed water collecting and stains. I pulled several fuses and found three that melted. All this happened after a ice storm followed by a warming up and melting trend the water collected on the fender brace and leaked into under hood fuse block. I replaced the fuse block and all is ok. Though fuses were melted apart they still made contact and easily could have started a fire. I drilled holes into fender braces and redirected the water.

Dash gauges and lights turn off and on while in park, driving, and stationary. This typically can be fixed by turning the truck all the way off and back on but that is not possible when driving. This occurs about 1-2 times per day
