ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING VEHICLE AT A LOW SPEED INTO A PARKING LOT, WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO POWER WHATSOEVER, UNABLE TO PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS. DISCONNECTED BATTERY NEUTRAL AND HOT FOR ABOUT 10-15 MIN. RECONNECTED AND IT STARTED BACK UP. THERE WAS A DASHBOARD MESSAGE TO ROLL DRIVING WINDOW UP AND DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT ONLY WHEN STARTING, NEVER WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN FORWARD MOTION! IN THE PAST I HAD IT DIAGNOSED FOR THE NO CRANK NO START AND FOR $400 I UPDATED THE BCM. TYPICALLY, WITH NO CRANK NO START, I WOULD DISCONNECT BATTERY NEUTRAL FOR 10 MINUTES, RECONNECT AND START UP SLOWLY, IE: TURN IGNITION TO ON, WAIT 1 MIN THEN CRANK IT TO START. I HAVE ACCEPTED THE OCCASIONAL NO CRANK NO START, BUT THE IDEA THAT THIS HAPPENED IN DRIVE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS!

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE IN A DRIVE THROUGH I WAS CREEPING UP AND WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS ALL THE WAY AS NORMAL AND TOOK A LONGER THAN NORMAL TIME TO STOP EVEN WITH BOTH FEET PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ENDED UP ROLLING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VACUUM PUMP/BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN MOVING SLOWLY, THE ABS ERRANTLY ACTUATES RESULTING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THE LAST TIME I WAS MOVING AT A SLOW (WALKING SPEED) PACE IN A PARKING LOT TO POSITION TO PARK. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES (WHICH SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY) THE ABS KICKED ON AND, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED ANOTHER 12FT (APPROX) ALMOST STRIKING ANOTHER CAR WITH SOME PEOPLE STANDING NEARBY. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND CANNOT INSURE AN ACCIDENT WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES PERIODICALLY DO NOT WORK AT LOW SPEEDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD TO PUSH TO THE POINT YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT IT'S BEEN VERY CLOSE TWICE NOW WHERE I'VE ALMOST HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT A STOP SIGN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VISIBILITY/WIPER
TAKATA RECALL, PARKING ASSIST SENSORS QUIT WORKING. ABS LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE ALERT "SERVICE STABILITRAK". MANUFACTURE FAULTY ELECTRICAL GROUND IS POSSIBLY THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD YET. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN A LOT OF REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE BY OTHER OWNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE COLLISIONS WHEN DEPENDING ON THIS FEATURE TO WORK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
NO TRANSMISSION POWER REGARDLESS OF THE GEAR SHIFTER POSITION. I TURNED THE ENGINE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET A SOLUTION, NO LUCK. I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 5 MINUTES LATER AND DID GET IT TO MOVE,,,WOULD ONLY GO 25 MPH AT 3000 RPMS. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF WI NOT NEAR ANY MAJOR DEALERSHIP ON-STAR WAS USELESS SAYING I HAD A MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER WAS TRYING TO PROTECT THE ENGINE. I WAS DIRECTED ME TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP, WHO TOLD THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR 2 WEEKS, SUGGESTED ANOTHER BRANCH WHICH WAS OVER 45 MILES AWAY. I DROVE 5 MILES TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND WAS ABLE TO FIND A DEALERSHIP IN JANESVILLE, WI (FAGAN). WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO JANESVILLE, THE TRANSMISSION DID WORK. FAGAN SPENT 2 HOURS WORKING ON IT, AND COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEMS, THEY CHECKED EVERY COMPUTER, COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHAT HAPPENED. THEY REPROGRAMMED ALL THE COMPUTERS. THEN IN CINCINNATI, OH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WENT "OFF", WHILE STAIONARY. I TRIED RESTARTING SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL, DROVE THE 3 MILES LEFT TO THE G'KIDS HOUSE, NO POWER STEERING, TRAILER PROBLEM LIGHJT ON, NO RPM OR MPH NEEDLES MOVING. CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP (BORCHARDING) AND THEY SUGGESTED I DRIVE IT TO THEIR LOCATION 12 MILES AWAY. WHEN I STARTED IT, THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK ON, BUT THE UNIT WOULD NOT GET OUT OF 2ND GEAR, RAN 40 MPH AT 2500 RPM, WARNING LIGHTS ALL ON, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. NEXT MORING I STARTED THE VEHICLE, EVERYTHING WAS OKAY INCLUDING THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT STILL HAD THE "CHECK ENGINE ON", THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT (2) DAYS, INVOLVED GMC ENGINEERS, COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS,INCLUDING LOSS OF "STEERING ASSIST". THEY DROVE IT OVER 50 MILES ON TWO TRIPS,COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOME KIND OF COMPUTER PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE, THEY RESET EVERYTHING AGAIN.
