AIR BAGS
I was driving on freeway in rain, rear end of truck kicked out sideways due to hydroplane, I hit the cement median in the front of truck, spun around and the back end also hit median. I have $25,000 in damage and the frame is bent in 3 locations, however airbags didn't deploy. 1) Airbags didn't deploy, and yes available for inspection. 2) I think airbags should have gone off, all 4 of us hit our heads on something. 3) No, I mentioned it to them, but nothing has been done. 4) No inspection has been completed. 5) No, there were no warning lights or messages prior to the failure.

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
I was sold a vehicle by a dealership with a completely unsafe frame. The frame is very rotted and has multiple holes and as well as a split open portion on the drivers side that extends down most of the frame. This issue was undisclosed by the dealer. There was also a discovery of rotted suspension components making the vehicle extremely dangerous to myself and others. Another undisclosed issue would be that this vehicles engine does not match the vin number.

POWER TRAIN
While towing my travel trailer at 55 mph the truck rear tires locked up causing an alerting situation. The transmission automatically shifted out of tow/haul mode, the CEL illuminated and the following message appeared on the dash "reduced acceleration condition, drive with caution". This event happened a total of 3 times within a 20 mile distance. Because it was a short burst and I was traveling on a straight section of roadway, the risk of accident was moderate. This would have been a high risk of danger if I were on a curving downhill section of roadway. The situation was confirmed by my local dealer through a diagnostic check exhibiting a P0747 and P0700 error code. There were no CELs or other warnings prior to the lockup. The diagnosis was a problem with the transmission valve body. A new valve body was ordered and arrived 14 days later. After the new VB was installed the symptoms appear to be gone after driving about 50 miles.

ENGINE
About 3 months after the 5 year 100000 mi warranty with only 70000 miles on the duramax diesel engine the exhaust brake part of the engine emissions/exhaust split along the weld. Have seen a number of these reported on the internet as well. Sounds like a manufacturing problem. The vehicle's check engine light came on and it's now at the dealership getting a new exhaust brake housing and bracket replaced. If this was in California or the 12 states listed would be covered for 8yrs/100000 miles.
