I was getting gas, fiiled up, when I got back into car, didn't want to start, really had to hit gas pedal, very scary, that happened 3 times after getting gas, another time I was at stop light, and it just stalled, engine completely stopped, hard start up again, so I decided for safety reasons taking it to dealership, it's still there as of 11/20/2017, but wanted to get this out there, I think maybe this is ongoing issue with certain models of GMC, and feel maybe it will be a recall issue if enough people report issues as such as these. I thank god I wasn't driving and this happened, def a safety concern GMC needs to address.
Initially radio stayed on after leaving car once. Later the car would not start even though battery was fairly new. Mechanic diagnosed 2 codes (p062b control micro processor and p0690 relay circuit) related to ecm. Mechanic reset the ecm and tried running car but codes came back again. New ecm had to be ordered and installed.
While driving at about 5 miles an hour, turning vehicle around a cul-DE-sac the vehicle completely turns off. I have contacted the GMC dealership about this and the only recall I was told was the fuel pump. I was told they would order my parts and they would call me; I never received a call. I have towed the vehicle to two repair shops and I have been told by both that it is a timing chain issue and I need to install a new engine! I called the GMC dealership and asked if the recall could be a direct result of my timing chain issue, and if I had any other recalls? I was told I would have to pay for them to look at my vehicle if not apart of the recall. I do not have the extra money to pay multiple times for my car to be looked at or to put an engine in a vehicle that has less than 85k miles. I purchased this vehicle in late December of 2015 and have not be able to drive the vehicle since about September of 2016. I have gotten at least two oil changes in that time frame (Dec-sept) from the same GMC dealership and was never told about any recalls or any issues with my vehicle besides needing tires/brakes. One of the mechanics that I took the vehicle to said I have other recalls. I was not able to locate any others online and that is my reason for writing this. I am very unsatisfied and do not know how to proceed.
I have 41,000 miles - should I need a left pretension buckle (part failure) and timing chain - oil was changed in December, checked in January and GMC dealer states I have no oil and need a timing chain where did the oil go? is this a factor defect? car stalled at stop signs and red lights.
This happens every time I drive. It is like my car is not getting enough fuel. It will stall when we are driving slow and if I am on a hill it will completely loose power. When I loose power the engine is still running but I can't put it in gear. I the. Have to shut my car off start it again and put it in neutral to get off the hill. I am afraid that I will loose power or stall on the highway and I will get in an accident. My warranty ran out less than 2 months ago and I have been talking to the dealership for almost three months. They kept saying nothing was wrong now they are saying I have all these engine problems but now it's out of warranty.
