Possessed Pickup

[POS VETT]

My wild guess is water leaking onto/into a module/connector.

This is exactly why I feel computers belong next to a DESK in your HOUSE, NOT in a friggin motor vehicle ....

I was in a 14 bmw the other day and it was nothing but buttons and screens! Not a single price of mechanical gear in the whole cabin (besides the glove box door i guess) you push a button to start it, a button to put it in park. The shifter lever in the middle was like a cheap Video game controller. All i could think while i was in there was that this thing is way too far removed from what a vehicle actually is. Seems like they are trying to turn them into magic driving machines. Ill take my truck any day!

This explains every problem that I have experienced with the truck so far, why the dealership has not been able to figure this out is troubling since this is a TSB issued by General Motorts! Also looking at the pictures provided, the location of this part and it's supposed role in the functionality of the vehicle is also troubling being on the bottom of the engine/transmission mere inches from the extremely hot exhaust pipe supposedly being protected from the heat by a tiny heat shield but still exposed to massive amounts of moisture, road debris, dirt, road salt etc. The people who design these vehicles are absolute morons, they try their hypothetical situations in a controlled environment for a few weeks but never truly test the product over the long term such as what the consumer does and eventually pays for in repair bills becuase of this ineptitude! I personally will never buy another GM vehicle as long as I live after this experience! The 2 links I am posting offer an explaination of my experience with the vehicle and the drivability problems! The first time I brought the truck in was for a wiper motor module that had failed and my wipers would not work, they also did 3 recall repairs at the time of that service, but failed to notice the TSB from GM that affected my particular model! http://engine-codes.com/uploads/gmc/08-07-30-021E.pdf http://www.ls2.com/boggs/dtcs/Scan_Tool_Does_Not_Communicate_with_High_Speed_GMLAN_Device.pdf
