Dt: the consumer stated that he is having problems with his electrical circuit.

- What is wrong
- Some sport utility vehicles equipped with an electronically controlled air suspension (ecas) have a condition in which the ecas may produce a brief electrical spike while the vehicle is operating. This electrical spike can disrupt the powertrain control module (PCM) causing the vehicle to stall.
- Risk
- If the spike damages the PCM, the vehicle may not restart. If this happens while the vehicle is moving, a crash could occur without prior warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a wiring harness. The recall will begin on august 19, 2004. Owners should contact oldsmobile at 1‑800‑630‑6537 or gmc at 1‑866‑996‑9463.
