EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT DOESN'T WORK - THE LEFT CUTS OUT. I'VE SEEN REPORTS THAT GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP OR GM SERVICE DIRECT THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. GM SERVICE HUNG UP ON ME WHEN I TOLD THE PERSON THAT IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THROTTLE BODY AND A HEADLIGHT THEY SHOULDN'T BE MANNING THE SERVICE LINE FOR GENERAL MOTORS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFT CABLE MALFUNCTIONED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND SOMETHING BROKE,I THINK IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SHIFT CABLE.

BOTH IN THE CITY AND MOUNTAINMOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS. I HAD RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALLS WHEN I WAS TROUBLESHOOTING WHY MY TRANNY CABLE BROKE THE OTHER DAY. THE TRANSMISION FAILED JUST RECENTLY, THE OTHER SYMPTOMS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 0 TO 40 DAY AGO.
