I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT , I WAS LISTENING TO MY RADIO . THE LIGHT CHANGED I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND TRUCK DIDN'T MOVE.. IT WAS THEN I REALIZED THE IT STALLED. I PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT BACK UP. AND CONTINUED TO WORK. AFTER THIS INITIAL TIME IT WAS HAPPENING TWO TO THREE A DAY , ATLEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR MONTHS.. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER 15 TIMES . I HAVE A PAPER TRAIL FOR THIS. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR GOING THREE YEARS AND HAVE ONLY PUT 11,000 MILES BECAUSEII AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANY LONG DISTANCE . I DON'T WANT TO BREAK DOWN AND BE STUCK ALONE. I HAVE ALREADY PUT A COMPLAINT INTO GM ABOUT THIS AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING . IT IS TOTAL BULL. ALL I WANT IS MY CAR FIX SO I CAN ENJOY IT. I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT JUST SITS 80% IF THE TIME.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING/INDICATION [NOTHING LIGHT UP ON DASHBOARD]; THE CAR STARTED JERKING & SLOWING DOWN. IT SOUNDED LIKE ROCKS WAS ROLLING AROUND UNDER THE HOUND OF THE CAR. I PRESSED THE ONSTAR BUTTON [WHICH THE CAR HAS BEEN MONITORED BY FOR THE ENTIRE TIME OF OWNERSHIP, AND ALL REPORTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN/TRANSMISSION GOOD] AND THE WAS TOLD THERE WAS AND ENGINE MISFIRE. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE; AND AGAIN THE CAR MONITORED BY ONSTAR AND NEVER HAVE I RECEIVED A BAD REPORT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW/WHY SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN W/O ANY WARNING! I TRIED WORKING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP; GMC FINANCING OFFICE ~ AND NOTHING!! THIS CAR IS PAID FOR & I CANT AFFORD THE REPAIR COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT!!!!!!!!!! *TR
