    I was driving down the road at no more the 15 mph up hill in 4x4 when the engine shut off. No warning lights or noise and would not turn over. Had it towed to the local dealership to find out the main thrust bearing seized. I have to wait two to three months for a new engine which is covered under warranty. No wheels in the meantime. Only has 25,640 miles on it.

    Camshaft bearing failure. Catastrophic engine failure while accelerating at left turn. Required full engine replacement. Incident occured at 59,982 miles on odometer. Even though vehical was under manufacture warranty it took approx. 18 days for GM to assume responsability. I was required to produce all maintenance records and was left without a vehicle for this time. Company was not clear on what work and parts of this repair would be protected under further warranty. Company did not provide exact specifics on replacement engine year and place of origin.

    Transmission jerking violently while driving at low RPM 1000-1500 RPM. Occurs daily. Shudder and vibration as vehicle is slowed approaching stops. Effect and feeling is unsettling to driver and passengers. Can be recreated but is also intermittent at times. Dealer has avoided fixing as it is not 100% consistent. Asking me to drive until failure which is unsafe and could lead to accident or stranding.

    The transmission either shifts hard or momentarily locks up when downshifting and then shifting back up into high at 50+ mph. Check engine light comes on, tow haul mode is not available, engine rpm's increase dramatically. Transmission will begin shifting normally after a engine stop, but check engine light stays on, and tow haul mode is not available. Cycle continues. The hard shift before the check engine light comes on and transmission upper gears are locked out is very unnerving, especially with a travel trailer behind you at 65 mph. I no longer fell safe driving the vehicle. I am requesting assistance from the dealership on this truck with less than 49000 miles. The "flash for the transmission" recall was done several thousand miles ago. It only masks the situation. This is not acceptable, nor safe.
