6 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2014

My vehicle started with a vibration on or around 12,000 miles. The vibration slowly increased as time went on. I made appointment with the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. (capitaland motors) at this time the vibration was strong enough to vibrate the back window. It would start at 30mph and get worse at 45mph. The mechanic checked balance and road force the tires. But told me that the vibration was normal and he could fix my back window. I called GMC and filed a complaint. They told me to take it to another dealership. I did on 11/25/14. This time I took it to goldstein Buick-GMC. They could feel the vibration in the steering wheel and seat. They check tires again. They felt it was the tires and wanted me to buy new ones. Told me the tires were not under warranty. That day I called goodyear and found out my tires were under warranty, they would be prorated. Goodyear check my tires and they are fine. At this time no one can find the problem and I feel it has become a safety issue. The vibration is really strong and getting worse and they have no answer.

7 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2014

The truck was averaging about 20 mpg but shifting erratically like it couldn't decide what gear to be in. After using the 4wd the first time the mpg dropped off to about 17 and has been declining steadily currently I get 14 to 15 mpg and drive 150 miles per day mostly highway. I have taken it back to the dealer twice they said the computer couldn't get used to my driving style and reprogrammed the computer. When I took it back about the mileage a guy came out and said he could tell if something was stuck and switched the 4wd a few time and said it was fine. My mpg is getting worse and it slams in and out of gear 2-3 times in a matter of seconds while sustaining a steady highway speed on a flat surface.

10 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2014

Vehicle hesitates and stalls upon acceleration. According to gm document id number 3685734 this is a normal condition and they have programmed the vehicle to do this. If going into traffic and trying to accelerate, the built in delay can cause close calls at best and worst case an accident. This coupled with the transmission issues mentioned in document id number 3575856 creates the perfect storm for injury and / or death. Gm refuses to address the issue other than to say they feel it is not a problem. This covers virtually all gm vehicles since 2007 with the 6 speed transmission.
