We were driving 40 mph when all the sudden the rear tires locked up without warning. We almost got in an accident and thankfully were able to get off the road. Then, the check engine light came on and the truck went into limp mode and would not shift gears automatically and it was difficult to make it home. We had a mechanic come to our house to run a diagnostic and they informed us of the recall and confirmed it is what the truck was experiencing. We took it to the dealership and they confirmed the recall and that there was no available fix and nothing they could do for us. Meanwhile, ours is not safe to drive.

I AM LEFT HANDED, AND AM MOST COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH MY LEFT HAND AT THE 9 TO 10 O'CLOCK POSITION. THE CHEVY TRUCK I JUST PURCHASED HAS THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTINGS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HORN ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THEIR IS A PROTRUDING "THUMB JOYSTICK" WHICH IS USED TO SET THE SPEED UP OR DOWN BY USING YOUR THUMB OR FINGER. MULTIPLE TIMES NOW MY HAND HAS ACCIDENTLY SWIPED THIS "JOYSTICK" WHILE DRIVING ALONG A 30 TO 35 MPH PUBLIC STREET AND THIS TURNS ON AND ENGAUGES THE SPEED CONTROL AT THE LAST SAVED SET SPEED. USUALLY 65 TO 70MPH HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY AND IF YOUR REFLEXES AREN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE, WELL 2+2.
