At liwer speeds my truck keeps surging forward. I only have 9500 miles on it and is one year old. Under normal braking it works fine, but at lower speeds it is a bear to stop. Yesterday I almost missed my turn because it surged forward, and last week it overshot the intersection by a few feet because it surged ahead.

Transmission shifts extremely hard causing a loud clunk and the vehicle to lunge forward. This is experienced a lot during slowing down at yield signs or when starting out in traffic. The truck experience a split second delay in acceleration and then suddenly shifts very hard lunging forward. Gm motors dealership acknowledges there is an issue, but they don't have a solution and gm engineers are having them tell the consumers the transmission is operating as designed despite their own service techs and service managers and district managers stating there is a problem. After 3 different attempts to get this resolved I filed a compliant with gm case # 8-3228178744 that remains unresolved as of today. There are thousands of gm 8-speed transmission owners highly upset over this as many if not all escalade, corvette and truck owners have this issue. A mandatory recall is in order. In my opinion this is clearly a safety issue that should be addressed before someone is seriously injured.

Abs activation at slow speeds preventing stopping of vehicle. Dealer and gm refused to participate in repair, stated the sensors were contaminated from rust and therefore not defective, the problem is environmental and we cannot assist you with the repair.. There is no ABS warning light coming on and this is identical to the problem found on earlier models 1999-2002 which were recalled. I was told I need to replace the front wheel speed sensors @ a cost of 460.00 dollars to correct the problem. This happens almost every time the vehicle comes to a stop causing it to surge forward, it will cause a collision..

I have a 2001 chevy 2500hd 4wd crewcab pickup w/6.0 liter engine, with 54000 miles on it. I continue to have a problem with a sticky accelerator pedal. Several times daily when leaving from a stop (parking or stop lights) I experience the need to apply extra effort on accelerator pedal before it releases. This causes the truck to surge forward or backwards when backing up. G m does have a service bulletin for this #02-06-04-054a. I feel this is a safety hazard and possibly a recall should be issued. I have a friend with the same truck who also experienced this problem and had it repaired under warranty. I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
