THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING OCCURS AFTER ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT VARYING SPEEDS. SPEED VARYING BETWEEN 30 MPH TO 70 MPH. ENGINE WILL RESTART (BE TURNED BACK ON AFTER WAIT TIME AT THE IGNITION) AND DRIVE FOLLOWING THESE INCIDENTS, HOWEVER INCIDENTS REOCCUR. ALSO UPON TAKING IT TO A GMC CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY "CODES" RELATED TO THIS.

LOST BRAKES COMPLETELY. THE WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE CLUSTER OF BRAKE LINES IN FRONT OF ABS MODULE DUE TO RUST WHICH LEFT A PUDDLE CONTAINING ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE WAS IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND A SUDDEN STOP WAS NOT NEEDED FROM A HIGHER SPEED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF THAT WERE THE CASE. TOO BAD GM DID TO SPEND A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS ON RUST-PROOF BRAKE LINES GIVEN HOW EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS THEY ARE.

A KNOWN ISSUE AND PREVIOUS RECALL FOR LIGHTED IDENTIFICATION OF GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR THAT TELLS YOU WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN. LIGHT BURNS OUT ARE STOPS FUNCTIONING, RESULT YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE GEAR YOU ARE IN. SUPPOSEDLY MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL RANGE. INTERNET DISCLOSES MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM NOT INCLUDE IN PREVIOUS RECALL. A EXPANDED RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE TO INCLUDE ANY VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS INCLUDES A NUMBER OF GMC PRODUCTS, SIERRA, YUKON ETC. ALL DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT WITHIN RECALL RANGE. SO I AM STUCK WITH A DANGERS VEHICLE THAT YOU CAN NOT TELL WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED IN. INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT IN STOPPED OR MOVING POSITION! LIGHT FADED, FADED AND FINALLY FAILED 3 MONTHS AGO!
