Kind of embarassing.

No report on what caused the breakdown.

I saw that article earlier.  Hopefully this isn't a sign of declining reliability.

Wow, that is very sad...

Maybe the GMT900 were the last good trucks after all...haha

Oh showing off the new truck at the Redwings game? Here enjoy this update so you can't start the truck in the middle of it! Wish/hope that was the issue but didn't sound that easy 

[chevyloco]

Checked by dealer and results was ...did not throw a code and tech could not get truck to repeat it . End result ........operating as designed. lol.  Sound familiar ?  just kidding'

According to the news, the driver accepted an Update over the air which made the truck inoperative for a short period.

That will do it.

Sounds like some CYA for GM. I wouldn't expect them to openly admit that they had an issue that caused it to break down. I would expect some kind of recall soon otherwise to prevent people from doing the "update" while driving on the road ways.

[Rocz3cqg]

According to the Detroit News, they had shut the truck off to prevent the heat from melting the ice per the protocol at the arena. When they

restarted, the update appeared and was accepted. The vehicle was driven off under its own power.

You mean the GMT800's correct?

 

As long as electronics come into play controlling our vehicles, I feel there is always going to be issues.    The days of old with mechanical systems are gone and so is the reliability, the way of the future unfortunately, and they what driver-less cars?

No, I meant the 900 because it's mostly considered as the worst truck build by GM.

Although I hope that I'm not around anymore when driver-less cars take over, it would be fun to watch when a computer goes haywire and they're aimlessly crashing into each other haha.

Really.

One hiccup and the sky is falling?

That's exactly the point.

It is one truck with a hiccup.  No big deal.

Now imagine 1,000 trucks with the a "hiccup", travelling at 60 mph and you have no control.
