| Reduced engine speed warning light comes on and drops truck to an idle. i feel this is very dangerous in traffic and on highways. my mechanic has not been able to locate problem. all forums and online help has brought me to dead ends. this is my last resort, i believe gm knows what the problem is and am hoping they will do the right thing and recall before someone is seriously hurt or killed from this issue. | |||

| Had truck for one week, having a good time, and then the car stalled eleven times on me. wheel locks up and i am traveling at 60 miles per hour. even stalled on top of the greater new orleans bridge with a truck full of kids. very scary i am terrified to go anywhere far and am not pleased with the fact i had to pay a hundred deductible to have it repaired. i haven't paid the first note and shelling out money for repairs. i hate this. then the dealerships treat you as if you are crazy. they claim it was the fuel pump! now the service crew at (?) thinks i'm crazy, i'm just scared. i could have stayed in my unreliable intrepid for what i am going through. and remember it's only been a week. now i just drop the kids to school and park it until it's time to pick them up. nothing extra! we need to try to form a class action before someone gets killed. one day the car behind us won't stop! thank god nothing tragic so far that we know of. why does someone have to die before drastic measures are made by these manufactures! i wish every head gmc as well as a few others would take these vehicles for the weekend and drive in fear like we do everyday with their defective product. *nm | |||
