Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 83 of 83, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When applying gas consumer has to almost stand on pedal to get pedal to go down. Dealer admitted there was a problem with gas pedal sticking.*ak
Vehicle experiencing rough idle. Nlm
Pulled into a parking lot and parked. Then, consumer pumped brake pedal and it went to the floor, there were no brakes. Consumer put vehicle in gear and it started to roll backwards. Took to dealer, and they said it was normal for brakes to go to the floor.
While at a stop and about to accelrate vehicle shutters intermittently. When braking and letting off brake pedal about 50 %, and pressing brakes again, vehicle will lunge forward which may cause a crash. Dealer cannot determine the cause. Please provide further information.
Truck lurches violently when brakes are applied but only when towing a horse trailer. Condition is so severe that the truck is not safe to drive when towing. The trailer has been weighed (8300# empty) and carefully inspected, no problems. The truck is rated to pull 10,800#. Dealer tells me that I am pulling too much weight. The disc brakes, all four, were found to be severely overheated and were replaced, but the problem persists. The truck will lurch even when the trailer brakes are disconnected and the trailer brakes can stop both the truck and trailer smoothly by using the hand control. Three dealers, two service reps and a gm engineer are stumped, but gm refuses to give me a buy back.
This vehicle pauses or hesitates at all speeds when trying to accelerate, causing a mild jerking motion.
Overall vehicle is a step back in time. Many components of this "improved truck" fail to impress or even operate as they should, as mileage mounts more seems to go wrong this truck, truck goes back to dealer again next week but I am told there is nothing wrong or item has been fixed but problem is still there or returns shortly.
Cruise control was on, and vehicle was traveling on the highway at 70mph. It was raining outside, and consumer tapped brakes to take the cruise control off, but cruise control didn't release. Vehicle continued to accelerate. Also, consumer attempted to turn cruise control off maually, but it still didn't release. Had to turn the motor off.
Vibrates at 5 MPH/1500 RPM. Vibration is more severe when towing. In shop 3 times, nothing resolved. Rough idle and vibration since truck was delivered. Now has 2100 mile on it, and still same condition.
Vehicle experiencing the following problem 1.) brake booster had to be replaced on two occasions; 2.) thottle sticking, unble to correct the throttle from sticking. 3.) when applying brake pedal in wet road conditions, it commenced to pulsate intermittently, causing extended stopping distance, and 4.) squeaking sound coming from the suspension.
