While driving to work a month ago (3/19/25) I lost the power to accelerate out of nowhere. And my truck started making this noise, what I can only describe as a winding up noise while trying to accelerate. I was going 55mph on a busy morning commute. There were no warning lights. I pulled over and shut the truck off. Checked oil (even though it was changed a week or 2 prior). Oil was fine. Let truck sit for 10 mins then tried to turn back on, it started but had that winding up noise when just sitting in idle, the check engine light then came on after it was on for a minute or so. Ran codes at home, and truck started making an additional rattle noise on top of the winding up noise when had to be turned on. One code was the crankshaft position sensor, we changed that out. Then the truck wouldn't start. Taken to Dealership, and they said initially they found a broken connector to the engine harness. Fixed that then truck started but still making the rattle/clunk type noise and louder than at home so they continued diagnostics because they said the noise sounds like a rod knock, so rod either being bent/broken/slipping. Further diagnostics found that oil and coolant are mixed along with metal shavings through engine so new engine is needed.

There is a complete loss of power so there is no way to start the truck. Here in North Dakota the wind chills go to fifty degrees below zero. It is life threatening when the truck won't start. Up to this point it has happened only when the vehicle is parked. The GM dealer has seen the truck, but it is a random problem and can't be "replicated" in the shop. The shop manager has seen the security symbol on the dash board and cleared it with the computer. When it happened this week in minus wind chills I called the dealer, and he suggested that I put the key in and let it sit for ten minutes! Nothing happened. When my husband caught a ride to help me, he wiggled the battery connection and the whole system turned on. The security anti theft device light had gone on while driving, but the book said to take it to a dealer!

I was driving and my truck just lost all power and my steering wheel locked up as I was turning. Lights turned off. This lasted for about 3 to 5 seconds. Then it turned back on. Then later in the day it happened in a drive through as I was leaving except it would not start back up. This should not be happening especially for a truck with only 53000 miles.

Vehicle will not start while using the key at times; as if the car battery is dead. Other times it does start; will go a month of no issues and then starts doing it again. Using the remote start works fine.

The electrical issue is sometimes the truck will just stop basically there won't be any power whatsoever, everything just shuts down and will not start, we were on tiny town road when it happened and on fort campbell blvd, we had to have someone come with jumper cables and help me start the truck it has done that at least 3 times. When we took it in they said they could t find anything. Also since I got it I have had nothing but issues. The brakes and rotors have been replaced on this vehicle at least 4 to 5 times, when we would take it on the interstate it would shake when we would put the brakes on and so we took it in more than once to fix it. Also there is something to do with the theft deterrent system as well. It just seems there is always an issue and I'm so tired of this truck.

Had a failure with the dod or the afm . I think one of the lifters on the v4 dod got stuck and caused my truck to shut down on the interstate doing 80 MPH. Now the truck wont start and justs turns over..theres no fuel or spark problems. This is the 1st problem with the truck that has 108,263 miles on it. This needs to be recalled cause there is no warning before you get the reduced engine power/ stabilink off light comes on. I already found out a lot of people that this has happened to

While parked in a parking lot, the vehicle would not start. The truck mad a clicking sound and all lights lit up on dashboard, but no concise error message. Truck then started, but lost power when I put it into reverse with all lights coming on again. Turned off ignition and then the truck started. Drove the truck 2 miles to my home and when pulling into my driveway, the truck lost total power and nearly caused me to crash in to a parked vehicle. I was able to avoid the collision and I turned the key off in the ignition. I waited a minute and the truck started without issue. The next morning, the truck had the same issue starting - clicking sound but would not start. It finally started and I took it to my local shop to get a diagnosis. They could not find the issue. The next day, the same clicking noise occurred and it wouldn't start after multiple attempts. I called aaa to have my vehicle towed to the shop. When aaa came, the mechanic was able to start the vehicle. I then drove it to the repair shop for another diagnosis. They could not pinpoint the issue and recommended that I take the truck to the nearby chevrolet dealership, which I did. They had it for 2 days and could not find an issue - drove, tested, diagnosed multiple times to no avail. Truck also did not show any signs of power loss, etc. Today, for the fifth time in the last 8 days, there was an issue. Truck started normally, drove approx. 2 miles and parked. When attempting to start, the same problem occurred - clicking sound, lights lighting up on the dash board and this time, a stabiltrak error came on and off. Truck then started after 3 attempts so I drove it home. Went to restart and the clicking sound with lights on the dash lit up again. The power loss while driving has occurred 3 times in the past, but the vehicle started up with no other issues. Had this truck for 4 years with no issues until now.

Mileage: approx. 43600 twice this past week while driving, both on wednesday, the electronics completely shut down 'no engine, no steering, no nothing'! Electronics returned much like there was an 'auto-reset' breaker. On friday morning briefly would not start and signaled a perimeter reading. My wife was with me on both occurrences and continued the issue with cliff when the truck was returned without a repair of the issue. Her point was simple, the vehicle could cause a deadly accident. Upon returning home susan researched the internet and found the problem was mentioned with only two mentions of potential repairs that made little sense; I.e., a fly wheel sensor, the negative battery cable assembly, a repair of g218 ground, etc .
