During normal commute, vehicle began bucking badly, would not accelerate and began rolling backwards. Check engine light illuminated. Shut vehicle down, restarted, and the problem seemed to clear. Brought vehicle to dealership, found codes p0011, p0014, p0021 and p0024 set. Dealership contacted GM, who acknowledged the issue but offered no fix. They are still studying the issue and have no resolution. Dealership cleared codes and released vehicle back to us. Issue may return at any time.
