Numerous difficulties have arisen during the process of driving on multiple occasions. The tablet/Radio continues to reset, and the traction control sensor light continues to illuminate. I have communicated with the GMC service center on several occasions, and each time, no issues were found. During an oil change at another dealership, no service recommendations were mentioned, yet a list of offset services was listed on Mopar. As I continued to drive, I noticed that the speed controls were limiting speeds, necessitating self-serviced accelerated drives. This has been ongoing for some time while driving and has required ongoing fuel adjustments. I have received tune-up services, coolant services, fuel services, wheel balancing, and several alignments, which have recently caused significant inconvenience. Routine maintenance has been performed, and the RPM gauge remains constant during operation. Make a unsafe drive.

Having an ongoing issue while driving. I've ben on the highway in the rain and snow going 65-70 mph as well as dry pavement. All of a sudden my dashboard will light up saying service traction control, brake system, ABS, park assist off and check engine lights up and blinks. I will loose my brakes I then have to pump my brakes several times to get to even slow down or stop. It's also happened when I am driving down a residential street. When I pull over turn the truck off and goes back to normal for a short distance. Weather doesn't seem to be a factor or speed. Taken vehicle to dealership and they don't find anything wrong. Had them replace bearings as well as speed sensors and it is still happening. And I had a code come up for cylinder misfire and knock sensor. Then take it garage and nothing is wrong.

The truck was parked and running. It suddenly began to idle as if someone was pushing down on the gas. I immediately shut the car off. I turned it back on and the engine light was on and it read "reduced engine power". it seemed to drive ok. I called dealership and made apt for Tuesday. (it was Thursday) the next day I drove it to local garage to read engine code. It was P2135. The truck then stopped accelerating. It would not go over 25mph. It took about 2 full min to get it at that speed. When I would break, the truck would jump as if did not want to stop. The dealership diagnosed the problem as the throttle position sensor cover. I was informed that GMC is aware that there is a problem and has since corrected it. However, there is no recall as there is no alleged safety issues. I believe that when you have a 1,2, and 3 year old in the truck in rush hour, it is dark outside, and you are an hour away from home it is a huge safety issue when your truck won't accelerate! I have contacted GMC who refuses to take responsibility for this issue. Please issue a recall as this is a known problem.
