Engine · reported Nov 9, 2026

I have owned my truck for 3-4 months, and within the last 3 months I have taken it to Victory GMC, Saint Joseph, MO for an undiagnosed issue. Every morning I drive to work on the highway, it starts a chugging/tugging motion. Sometimes will not allow me to go above 45mph. My seatbelt locked up several times and pulled over to stop, turn off vehicle, and then continue to work. The elements have varied, cold, hot, west, windy, it still does the same issue. Some days are worse than others. No check engine light. The dealership claims they âCouldnât find anything, and drove normal rangeâ. I…

Power Train · reported Nov 8, 2026

While driving at interstate speed and occasionally at lower speeds, the truck will jump out of Drive and go into neutral. A very brief message appears in the instrument panel "service traction control" and the check engine light comes on. You then have to stop the truck and turn it off in order to resume driving! If you only stop and put the truck in park without turning it off it will drive but only in 1st gear and will not shift higher.
