I was driving home from a camping trip with my children when my truck occurred a reduce speed error on the dash and the truck went into limp mode. I found out through GM Onstar that the truck threw a PO6DD code. The vehicle was towed to dealer and the oil pressure valve was replaced and also a wiring harness
Purchased new and after 3 weeks (about 600 miles) I was on highway between 60-70 MPH truck started to shutter like it was losing power and would not accelerate. I complained to the sales person and he stated it ran a little rough when purchased first day - I was told it just needs to warm up.
traveling at 75 MPH on highway truck went into reduced acceleration mode putting my wife and I in danger. There were many simi trucks having to swerve as my vehicle reduced speed at a high rate and was unable to safetly come to a stop.
I purchased the vehicle on 8-23-25. On 10-23-25 while driving my daughter to school I received a message on the dashboard that said "reduced acceleration mode drive with care." I immediately drove to the dealership.
6 weeks since purchase and only 2000 miles-engine suddenly made a horrible rattling noise and stalled. Towed to dealership and was told engine was dead and needed replacement
