Complaint Summary
POWER TRAIN
Owner Narrative
WE WERE DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING AND SHUT OFF. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE ENGINE STILL SPUTTERING. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM THE TRUCK, DECREASED ENGINE POWER. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT IT TO BE CHECKED BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER. THEIR DIAGNOSIS IS VAPOR LOCK WHEN THE FUEL PUMP GETS NEAR OR OVER 100 DEGREE. ITS MY OPINION THAT GMC PLACED A FAULTY PART WHEN MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL.
