Steering wheel jolts aggressively from the drivers hands. All electronics shutdown, engine shuts down, stabilitrak error & trailer brake on display. These conditions occur at any speed, going straight or turning. 25mph in city, driving 45 mph country roads or when stationary. Very dangerous!

While driving the vehicle home from work, the vehicle shut down in the middle of traffic on a street while stopped at a traffic light and would not move after attempting to put the truck in "drive". I had to call for an emergency roadside service (tow truck) which towed the vehicle to a GMC dealership service dept. I was told by the service technician that the transmission torque converter has disintegrated and it would cost over $5000 to repair. This vehicle did not provide any warnings (no warning signal displayed on the instrument panel) that the transmission needed servicing. I have owned this vehicle for 3 years. This vehicle needs reviewing for a recall.

There is a small pin hole in the radiator that the dealership advised was created because of a problem with the thermostat. Apparently GM is aware of the problem and will fix it if it's prior to 60,000 miles. I am several thousand over now and they refuse to cover any of the $1100 bill to repair

While making turns the vehicle intermittently stalls, losing all control of steering and electrical components. When it stalls there is no steering control whatsoever and the vehicle does have brakes, but slow to react.. restart the vehicle and the computer system slowly resets. This has happened 5 times in the last2 days. Taking the vehicle to the dealership as soon as they have an opening.

On two separate occurrences, w/ family in the vehicle, starting speed at approx. 35mph, the accelerator (gas pedal) stuck to the floor during the process of passing another vehicle during city street driving. Top speed got to approx. 55mph, w/ stop lights fast approaching. The pedal simply would not release from full throttle until after the vehicle finally came to complete stop with brakes applied, shifter to neutral position, slamming the shifter to park, and ignition was turned off! had to take immediate and decisive emergency actions during both situations! the first time it occurred, thought perhaps the rubber floor mat may have contributed to this event; however, driver side floor mat was immediately removed. Several days later, during similar operations, the accelerator (gas pedal) again stuck to the floor board in full acceleration mode w/ family in the vehicle! currently have appointment set-up at a huntsville, al. GMC dealership. This truck was purchased brand new at laura Buick in collinsville, il. Although I realize there are other GMC customers; not sure why this huntsville, al dealership would not work me in sooner. This vehicle has approx. 49K miles and should still have warranty remaining until 68K miles. GMC service department rep. Stated, "Monday 26, February is first date available."
