The Power starting keeps going out while driving it. Once vehicle is turned off and back on it resets and works again. There is active recall for this exact issue but only in 2015 models and mine is a 2016 so told it isn’t a part of recall. It happened a few times several months ago but GMC service center couldn’t get problem to recreate and I didn’t have good documentation for the few times it had happened. GMC then offered free onstar for several months to try to help track problem. It hadn’t happened in last several months until Friday. It has now happened 7 times in last 4 days. On star sent me two reports indicating a code of U0240 with ABS system failure code. I took videos and pictures of the dashboard with what was showing. There is service message saying “power stealing drive with care” and “stabilitrak” service message too. GMC not getting me in for another week. I have a new 16 year old driver who drives this vehicle and it’s so unsafe! I don’t understand how I keep being told my vehicle is not included in the recall but it’s the same issue. I have to keep taking pictures and videos and pushing onstar button when it happens.

When I'm driving my truck my warning lights come on like power steering isn't working ( which it does still work), ABS light comes on, brake light comes on, and traction control light comes on. The truck runs fine like there no issues. We even replaced the battery and it still does it. Gmc looked at it and said it was fine which I doubt.

All my dash lights keep coming on and alarms going off. The poer steering, ABS, check engine, stability track, parking brake, brake, etc. If I pulled over and turned the vehicle off to get this to stop nothing works when I crank it up. I have no power steering. If I crank it a couple times everything goes to working. Then a few miles it all starts again. This has been going on since april. I have put it in shop in april, the dealer couldn't get it to duplicate, in may, same thing, in june they finally got it to duplicate and changed a module. I drove it 772 miles it started again. I carried it back in july they said gmc said it was a steering gear. I got it back at 336 miles it started again aug. 2nd, it did it again at 798, then 813 miles on 8/9. I carried it back they supposedly found a rubbed spot in a wiring harness and fixed that stating they believe it is fixed. I contacted gmc in july trying to get them to take this truck back, they said they couldn't do that but extended the mfg warranty out to 100000 miles. I bought the truck used with 16000 miles on it still under mfg warranty, all the problems started at a little over 34500 miles. I fear for my safety as well as other due to steering wheel locking up. I mentioned this to gmc as well. Is there anything I can do to get gmc to take this vehicle back? I can get paperwork from dealer if needed. Is there anything you can do with this? I had a case # with gmc when the gave extended mfg warranty [xxx]. I talked with a representative name martin phone # 866‑790‑5700. Ext. 5915657. I left him a message on 8/12, he is yet to return my call. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
