Intermittent problem, engine misfire at start, very rough idle, suspect poppet valve stick, obd code reads misfire on 6. Dealer charges 50. 00 to read and says to use fuel injection cleaner. Cannot get it to dealer when it does it and they will not repair solely on error code. This has failed over 6 times. Shut motor down and let it sit for a while and it restarts just fine. ,.

While driving vehicle leaked fuel. When this occurred the brake pedal became hard and failed to stop vehicle when the pedal was depressed, resulting in a rear end crash. Consumer sustained minor injuries. Vehicle was towed to the dealership, and dealership only repaired the body parts damaged by the crash. However, dealership indicated it couldn't find any leak. When the consumer picked up the vehicle from the dealership there was smoke coming out from under the hood. Dealership indicated that the smoke was caused by fluid from the radiator, and the body parts they had replaced. The failure recurred while driving on the highway at 55 mph. This caused the vehicle to hydro plane from the diesel fuel, and consumer lost control of the vehicle. It was towing a trailer at the time of the incident. The trailer jack knifed and damaged the side of the vehicle. It was towed to another dealership, who found a leak in the fuel injector line.

While driving at any time vehicle unexpectedly cuts off without prior warning, causing loss of all power. Also, vehicle cannot be restarted. Dealer has replaced fuel pump. Please provide any further details.
For several months, the truck has been cutting off unexpectedly while driving. This is extremely dangerous as it loses power steering and is very hard to control. It has cut out in the middle of busy intersections as well. Gm is aware there is a problem - they recently sent out a notice claiming they were extending the warranty on the fuel injection pump. However, when I took the vehicle to the dealership they refused to fix the problem. Not only that they refused to sell me parts so that my mechanic could fix it. I am now stuck with a $35,000 truck that is not safe to drive and I cannot get repaired.
