FRONT DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK IN IT. CRACK ON PLASTIC DASH JUST APPEARED OVERNIGHT FOR NO REASON. IT IS LOCATED ALMOST DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AREA. HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THE SAME YEAR MODEL,2- GMC SIERRA PICK UPS, 1- AVALANCHE, 2 SILVERADOS. DASH MAKES A RATTLING SOUND AND IS VERY DISTRACTING. ALL HAVE THE SAME OPEN CRACK ALMOST EXACTLY AT THE SAME SPOT ON DASHBOARD. I KNOW THERE IS A DEFECT. *TR

MAJOR LEAKING PROBLEM COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE OIL FILTER.. BELIEVE TO BE SOMETHING WITH THE OIL COOLER. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 40K ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED AND GARAGE KEPT ALL ITS LIVE... I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BOUGHT A TALKED VEHICLE AND AFTER PAYING 50K PLUS A HEAVY INTEREST CHARGE OVER THE COURSE OF 7 YEARS I FEEL LIKE THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO FAIL ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY INJURE ME , MY FAMILY OR WORST YET SOME INNOCENT PERSON.. GM NEEDS TO GET THERE STUFF TOGETHER AND GET THESE SAME REPETITIVE PROBLEMS FIXED ON THESE TRUCKS BECAUSE ITS THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN DATING BACK TO THE EARLY 2000'S.... YOU NEVER SEE THIS PROBLEM IN THE TOYOTA OR NISSAN LINE UPS.... SAD BUT NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A GM UNLESS THEY GET ON THE BALL AND GET THIS STUFF FIXED. *TR

ENTIRE FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS RUSTING AWAY. SOME AREAS IS SURFACE RUST AFTER THE UNDERCOATING HAS JUST SLOW PEAKED AWAY. THERE IS SOME AREAS THAT THE RUST IS SO BAD I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL SOON OR LATER GIVE AND BREAK. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ONLINE AND THERE IS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE BUT GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.. I FINALLY GOT A NOTICE AFTER 7 YEARS OF COMPLAINING ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION LINES LEAKING AT THE CRIMP.. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOW ISSUE ON MANY OF THE GM VEHICLES AND HAS CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST. I WOULD LIKE TO SEEN GM FORCED TO PRESSED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY FACTOR THAT COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. *TR
