I called GM, they say there is no open recall for this problem, The way I feel about it if something happens that this vehicle causes a wreck due to cutting off and there is a wreck involved. GM will have hell to pay they know of this issue and refuse to do anything about it. I do not feel the consumer should have to pay for GM's faulty issues. And people wonder why cars are not selling it is because they do not stand behind their product. CHEVY SUCKS WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY CHEVY'S AND HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS THAT FEEL THE SAME WAY!! NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE BUYING NISSAN AND OTHER FOREIGN VEHICLES!!!!
