Takata recall and another issue of power loss----- I have taken my truch to the dealership to have the takata air bags replaces and they told me that they do not have the parts to replace them. Power loss: I can be driving and the vehicle goes into a drastic and immediate power reduction. I have nearly bee rear-ended several times and the vehicle jerks suddenly throwing everything forward as though it is nearly a sudden stop. It will not drive over 20 MPH when this happens. It will not reset until I pull over, remove, and reassemble, the battery cables. This happens during, and following, every rainy day. It also happens for no specified reason. It happened 3 times in the last 24 hours--no rain at all.

This vehicle has several defects that gm claims as normal. 1. Truck randomly lurches forward when started in park. Gm says this is normal make sure you apply parking brake when parking. 2. Drive train clunks when decelerating into 10-20mph range and accelerating again. Gm says this is normal due to tolerances and accelerated in four wheel drive vehicles. 3. Vehicle drain train randomly makes a bang or clunk noise when accelerating from a stop. Gm claims this is also normal. I have purchased this truck new in november 2011 and it has been in the shop five times. Each time dealer checks repair for defect and gm sends back bulletin saying no repair condition normal. Dealer says a handful of trucks have come back with this similar problem. I can not believe gm accepts this defect as normal.
