Day after driving to n a snow storm the vehicles stabilitrak and traction control light and message to service those came on the dash and a sudden lose of power. I pulled over and put it in park noticing the gear indicator on the dash was gone. I put in drive and could barely move. So I shifted to 1st gear then back to park and into drive and the light came off and it was back to normal. The next day I started the vehicle and the light was on again with the check engine light. And stuck in limp mode. There are forums I've read with thousands of people with the same problem. The vehicle is available for inspection. The safety concerns are the traction control and stabilitrak can affect the way it handles and brakes. The vehicle will be going to dealership. There where no warning light prior to. The lights and systems failed simultaneously. This vehicle only has 44000 miles on it, no rust the frame is mint. This is a very clean truck and shouldn't be having this kind of problem.

The Transmission Control Module failed causing the vehicle to loose power and operate only in "limp mode". General Motors does not have a replacement module available, leaving the vehicle inoperable.

This seems to be a common problem with the 2008-20015 GM Duramax with the Allison transmission.

PASSENGER SIDE DASH, ON LEFT ENGINE COMPARTMENT SIDE HAS CRACKED FROM THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT TO THE DEFROST AIR DUCT. THE CONCERNS ARE 1) IMPAIRED/FAILURE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG IN CRASH, 2) EXPOSURE TO SHARP DASH CRACKS WHICH COULD INCREASE INJURY IN A CRASH, 3) SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS INADVERTENTLY BEING INJURED BY SHARP EDGES OF DASH CRACK, 4) RESALE VALUE.

THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS LEAKING A FLUID AND EACH TIME WE RIDE IN IT IT MAKES US SICK. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN EVEN IN THE RAIN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE GLOW PLUG FAILURES ON MY VEHICLE. ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. IT HAS GONE TO THE DEALER EVERY SINGLE TIME FOR THE REPAIRS I EVEN ASKED THE DEALER MECHANIC IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE AND HE STATED THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH MY ISSUE WITH FAILING GLOW PLUGS. THE DEALER HAS A FULL RECORD OF ALL THE ISSUES IV HAD AND EVERY TIME MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THEIR SHOP. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE! SOON AS I TRY TO USE MY REMOTE START THE TRUCK STARTS THEN DIES THEN I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I CALL ONSTAR THEY GIVE ME THE CODE AND SURE ENOUGH ITS A FAILED GLOW PLUG. THEN IM UNABLE TO EVEN USE REMOTE START FEATURES OF MY VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.
