Forward collision avoidance
4 reports
“I purchased my truck with 5 miles on the speedometer in Anchorage AK 4/7/2024. In May 2024, the engine idled rough and transmission shifted hard, I was told me it was normal, and I would have to wait 2 yrs to make a transmission appointment. In June 2024 approaching a green light, approximately 35 mph, the brakes locked, I had no control over the steering and it left a 5 foot skid mark. I had a painful neck and headaches. The shop said they couldn’t make it do it again. In August 2024 approaching a stoplight at 40 mph, the brakes locked, would not release, gas didn’t work, I had no control over steering this left 6-7 ft skid mark, The vehicle also had electrical issues the interior dash lights would go black, very bright, interior lights would flash, the radio would stop working. The manager took my truck home and said I should shut the forward collision and pedestrian warning system off. I was in communication with GM Customer care who informed me they could not help me. The dealership ran my truck into a cement post, causing $2000. Now sometimes the brakes randomly stop working, the throttle stuck open, and the trans is worse. It’s not safe to pull a trailer…”
