Motor shuts off at anytime,parked or on highway. The dealers say their is a problem with the design of the injector pumps. This is a very serious problem in that , this vehicle is designed to haul and pull very heavy loads. I continue to have this problem and g. M. Refuses to assist in anyway. I contacted customer assistance and was told that my vehicle is out of warranty and g. M. Is not responsible,even though it was being worked on for this problem before the warranty ran out, actually the mileage went over warranty while it was being repaired. I have tried to explain to them that this vehicle could kill someone ,if the engine shuts down at the wrong time e. G. Down hill with travel trailer in tow, crossing a railroad, or any other scenario you may think of. How many unexplained accidents and deaths have occurred due to the design of this injector pump. I am told by many mechanics that the change took place after 1994 and they have had problems with them since. I can not stress enough the importance of this safety issue and would appreciate something being done. I noticed that someone else has the problem and filed a complaint with your department .
