Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAVE A 96 GMC 3500 WITH STALLING PROBLEMS. I ALMOST HAVE BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONCE WAS WHEN THE STALL HAPPENED DURING A INTERSECTION AT A HIGHWAY. THE OTHER IN A PARKING LOT, I ALMOST HIT A PERSON AND TRUCK, BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS I LOOSE ALL BRAKES AND ALL STEERING. I AM TOLD IT IS THE PMD, I AM GOING TO GO AND SPEND $400 TOMORROW AND RELOCATE THE PMD. I WAS TOLD BY A GM DEALER IF THERE WAS A CODE TO GO BY IT POSSIBLY WOULD BE A WARRANTY ITEM. I HAVE SPENT $270 ALREADY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT. I THINK THAT GM NEED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND STOP BEING SO CARELESS WITH PEOPLES LIVES. *JB
