Truck randomly doesnt start. No crank no start became more frequent and has now died at hwy speeds 3-4 times. Resulting in no power steering,no ABS, airbags become deactivated in a stall situation to my knowledge. Making it very hard to control the truck in order to get it off the hwy/roadway. Stabilitrak light, tire pressure light, traction control light all stay on and the most recent light is now the ABS light. Now it's to a the point of hardly starting at all. The key has recently became very hard to turn as well. Originally the door locks would cycle multiple times , and interior lights dash lights would all cycle at fast rate all at once. When this first happened I was always able to eventually get the truck to start a short time after. Engine power reduced is another specific warning that appears now that it's now dying while driving down the hwy. Each incident when the truck has stalled it's been when driving at least 60 MPH.or more. Numerous owners of gm vehicles are and have been having the same issues for far too long with little being done for alot of these owners.

There seems to be a relay problem in the fuse box under the hood. The first problem happened about 3 months ago. The truck was parked. It had no power. It would not turn over and had no instrument panel. Checked fuse bank and swapped relays around for the start relay. After swapping around a couple of times, it cranked. It ran ok for three months. Next problem occurred with my wife driving. With no warning it lost power and died. It would not turn over. After trial and error, I swapped around relays for the crank & run relay. It started. Note, I did not replace any relays. I just swapped the out with other relays. When swapping relays, the other functions worked as well. This second time was very dangerous as my wife was driving down the road and it just died. I have no idea what to do about it with it working fine for the moment.

Brake lights stay on. Due to brake lights staying on cruise control is disabled. Vehicle brake opertation is doing the opposite, when in motion stay on and when slowing down or stopped brake lights turn off. Called gmc and informed there is a recall for the same year but for the chevy malibu. Took vehicle in for repair to repair and paid to have the body control module replaced on 02/15/2016, almost 7 months later the issue has returned. Attempted to have dealership that replaced part look at but told there is only a 12,000 mile or 12 month warranty and vehicle has reached over the 12,000 so no longer under warranty. We were also informed the was only a "temporary fix, and the bcm doesn't fix the breaks." dealership claims the second part that needed to be replaced,which we declined, would have permanently fix the issue. Part had already been purchased at $10 and was going to be charged by dealership $150 for them to provide and install. Called gmc customer service for assistance to correct this safety issue. Gmc called to inform us that as a courtesy and the approval by the managers at dealership, will be able to give a $2000 voucher towards a new vehicle or used. Called days later as voucher did not come through via email and informed unfortunately voucher as the vehicle must be under 100,000 mile for trade in. Per gmc customer service at this time unable to resolve correcting the safety issue with body module control and it would be the expense of customer to replace again after its been replaced a little over 7 months ago. Very frustrated as driver of the vehicle is 8 months pregnant and due to break lights not working may get into an accident. We were not informed this would only be a temp fix.

Takata recall: per dealership, 8/12/16 unable to make appointment to fix the recall number #49152. They have no idea when the parts will be in. Says it could tke up to one year!!!! We were in an accident with this vehicle. The truck was sandwiched between two cars, the airbag did not deploy at 35 MPH., he was injured. After vehicle came back from bodyshop with $7000.00 worth of damage fixed, airbag light came on and has stayed on. We use this truck for our contracting business, so is it safe like gm recall letter states? I called gm back on july 1st, 2016, asked if there was a takata recall on this truck, I was told no. I told them the airbag light was on so why not recall based on other 2007 trucks? Part 573 safety recall report given to the federal safety agency by gm clearly shows that all 2007 gmc sierras were to be recalled in area b, which is where I live.. High humidity. Memo was submitted may 27th, 2016. I just got my recall letter yesterday, august 11th. When I called gm to complain about that, and ask why the delay, I was hung up on. I want justice for airbags that do not deploy when they should.. What about we folk? There are many of us.the airbag light is still on< and now there are no parts to fix the problem. Our mechanic says when the light is on, the bags will not work. Great. No rental car from gm and no way to fix the problem. Should we not go to work? I doubt enterprise would like a contractor to use their rental truck as a "real" work truck like we do. Hence the problem.

Will happen intermittently, as described by other gmc owners. See similar issue with other owners at this address: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/129454-my-fix-on-my-silverado-electrical-problem/?hl=stalling see also: the federal safety agency reference #10036550 tsb reference #pit-4730a vehicle is unmodified. The issue is with the battery cables and attachment to the frame and fuse panels. Affects a wide variety of gm and chevy models, and should definitely have a recall, as this causes a very dangerous situation. What happens is : 1. Truck will be running fine, as it should. Intermittently, without warning will start having door locks go up and down, along with check engine lights, gauge cluster resetting and complete power loss to the engine and components (power steering, brakes, etc.) 2. Upon shutting off engine experiencing full power loss. Cannot crank engine until power has been restored by popping hood and wiggling battery terminal cables. The reason why this is dangerous and should have an immediate recall, is first, when this happened I was traveling at 80mph. The vehicle completely shut off, causing me to have to guide to the side of the road without the ability to use blinker, power steering, or power brakes. I have communication with other gm owners of the same year range, but affecting multiple gm and chevy models. (one is 2009 yukon, describing the same issues.) I know that this complaint has been issued by other people as well. It is time for action.

In moderate traffic, I was traveling south on germantown pkwy. At a traffic signal, the light changed to red and I stopped the vehicle. After a few moments at a dead stop , I noticed the speedometer jumping from 0 to 10 and then higher.with no indication whatsoever from instrumentation, the engine stalled. There were no indicator signals at all. I was able to restart the engine after placing the shift lever in park and turning the key. I then contacted on star, and reported the incident and asked for a diagnostic. They reported "an ignition problem" and said I should schedule an appt with a dealer.
