2024 GMC Sierra 2500

Purchased new and professionally installed and used for almost 3 years without issue. Driving on highway. Approx 75MPH. Cover was fully closed and locked into place. Nothing in bed of truck. Cover was attached to both of the safety D rings. I heard a noise, looked out rear mirror and saw the cover 10-15 feet in the air and then crash onto the highway. No one was behind me at the time or I would have likely caused a fatal accident. I immediately pulled off road. Ran back to where the cover was and had to wait for traffic to break before I could run into the highway and throw the cover off the side of the road into the woods. Cars were swerving out of the way to avoid the cover before I could get it. A few cars couldn’t get out of the way and ran it over. Luckily they were cars. If a motorcycle drove over it they would have crashed. I am very lucky no one died. Also, as you can see in the photos, the safety D rings on both sides of the bed were still intact and secured to the cover rails by the safety tether straps that were secured to the truck bed. Attached to the D rings are the safety brackets that appear to be made from a molded plastic. The brackets broke off the cover and remained attached to my truck. Potential major safety defect if the safety tether and D rings are still attached to my truck, but sheared off the heavy metal cover.

I was returning from the airport in [XXX] with my kids, driving northbound on [XXX] when my truck engine turned off without warning. The truck began to slow down while I was surrounded by traffic going roughly 70mph. I had difficulty steering and braking because the vehicle engine was off. I attempted to restart the vehicle while it was coasting and slowing to dangerously low speeds in interstate traffic. The vehicle would not turn back on. I managed to change lanes through traffic and get to the emergency shoulder of the roadway and stop. I was shaken up over the incident, feeling very anxious about nearly causing an accident on the interstate. My kids were also very scared. I had the truck towed to the dealership after hours and had to get someone to pick my kids and me up on the side of the interstate with our luggage. The next day the service department diagnosed the failure of the fuel control module causing the engine to turn off and, as a result, the power steering and power brakes to fail. I was without my truck for over a day while it was being repaired. This is a known problem with GM vehicles, many models having been recalled for this very part failure. This should definitely be something that should be recalled and fixed in all GM vehicles with this part, including my vehicle which has not been recalled for this. I paid for the repair and would like also for GM to reimburse me for the expense. I have attached the invoice.

The vehicle experienced a loss of engine power accompanied by a check engine warning light and a “Reduced Acceleration”/reduced-power condition. The exact component causing the malfunction has not yet been determined. The vehicle and any affected components are available for inspection upon request. While driving the truck uphill toward our residence, the vehicle lost significant power and had difficulty maintaining acceleration. The truck stalled several times. The sudden loss of engine power while driving on an incline created a safety risk because the vehicle was unable to maintain normal acceleration and could potentially have stopped in traffic or created a hazard for other vehicles. The problem has not yet been confirmed or reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. The vehicle has experienced the problem while being driven, including the reduced-acceleration condition and multiple stalls. The vehicle will be inspected by a GMC dealer on Monday, September 28, 2026. The check-engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle displayed a reduced-acceleration/reduced-power condition. The truck subsequently experienced significant loss of power while traveling uphill and stalled several times. These symptoms first appeared on September 14, 15, 22, and 23, 2026.

While driving my truck on the highway at 65 mph the truck bucked hard and immediately downshifted into 2nd gear. This caused me to rapidly decelerate to approximately 40 mph, I am lucky there was not another vehicle behind me when this happened since rapid unexpected deceleration without brake lights is very dangerous. I had to drive the truck in limp mode at 45mph and approximately 4500 rpms to the nearest exit. This event illuminated the trucks check engine light and displayed a brief service 4WD message followed by a permanent reduced acceleration message on the dash.
