6 Steering problem

The truck dies at any moment. Stability track system warning pops up in the little screen and the steering wheel is blocked when this happen. After these to things happens the truck shut down. Sometimes, after a few minutes the truck comes back to normal. This has happened to me for like 10 times in a period of like 15 months. I have taken to the dealer like 6 times and they haven't found the problem. They have change some wires from the battery. They have reprogram the software and nothing I still have the same problem. The truck dies at any moment. All of this happen when I am driving the truck most of the times at low speed and while turning to the left or right except like two times that occurred while I was driving in the highway. The mechanics in the dealer have done all kind of diagnostic that they have but they could not duplicated the problem so the answer that I get every time is that every is fine and that they couldn't duplicated the problem.

8 Steering 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.

9 Steering problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2014

I have had my truck back the dealership 8 times for the same problem a vibration that you can feel in the seat steering wheel and gas pedal, they have had the factory engineers out three time and looked and worked on it, first time the engineer did a couple of things and said that it was up to factory specs and that was all he could do, I drove it home and before I was a block away I could tell that they did not fix it, when I got home I called the dealer back and told him so he called gm and the next week they sent out the same guy and this time he worked on 5 or 6 other things that he did not work on the first time after telling me they did all they could do the first time. Right there tells you they are lying if there was nothing they could do why come back and work on it again! but after he got done it was just like it was, I will try to list some of the stuff that they said they did, 1) rotated the tires 2) re-torque the wheels 3) balanced the tires 4) balanced the drive shaft 5) shimmed the rear end 6) checked the rear shocks 7) took off dealer installed mud flaps! 8) checked the exhaust system, I know but they did 9) road forced tested the tires twice and replaced two the second time and re-balanced the tires. And I'm sure I have not listed all they have tried, and still I have the same problem, third time the engineer came out he had the regional manager with him and this time they drove my truck and 2 others they had on the lot and said that they are similar to mine and they was not going to do any more to my truck that they had done all they could or would do but if I had any other problems to bring it back.
