AIR BAGS
WHEN IF EVER IS NHTSA GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS?? I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU AND GM FOR 7 YEARS NOW, TO GET SOMETHING DONE. IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I LIVE IN A STATE WHERE WE GET 60 PLUS INCHES OF RAIN EVERY YEAR. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THEY GIVE FOR FAILURES OF THE AIRBAGS. I DON'T WANT TO GET SOMEONE KILLED BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FIND TIME TO DO YOUR JOB. TIME TO GET OFF THE POT, AND GO TO WORK. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO GET AHOLD OF TRUMP MAYBE HE CAN HELP YOU FIGURE IT OUT AND GET SOMETHING DONE ✅

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED AND PASSING SLOWER TRAFFIC; ENGINE POWER FELL OFF, CHANGE FUEL FILTER NOW, ENGINE DERATE, AND CHECK ENGINE LITE, OCCURED. I HAD TO MANEUVER WITH NO POWER THROUGH THE TRAFFIC TO GET OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANES. I WAS THEN STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO GET A MECHANIC TO COME AND CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. THE TRUCK WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP (DIESEL MOTOR DRIVEN PUMP).

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTED VIBRATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY (~15K MILES) - I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST OUT OF ALIGNMENT - ALIGNED AND ROTATED TIRES. THIS SEEMED TO IMPROVE THINGS FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL THE VIBRATION WAS BACK TO THE UNTOLERABLE STATE - UPON TAKING TO ANOTHER SERVICE STATION, THEY BLAMED THE TIRES (UNEVEN WEAR) AND I PAID FOR ALL NEW TIRES - ONLY FOR THE VIBRATION TO RETURN AFTER ANOTHER FEW MONTHS. I NEXT TOOK IT A 3RD SERVICE STATION AND THEY ARE CLAIMING A BEND WHEEL THAT WONT FULLY BALANCE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOW SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH A FAULTY DRIVETRAIN, BUT GMC IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE?? HOW DO I BECOME PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED PROPERLY?

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
ON THE MORNING OF OCT 26, 2020 @ 845AM... I WAS HEADING SOUTH ON 287 IN MANSFIELD TX. IT WAS RAINING HARD SO I WAS ONLY GOING 60 MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS GOING 55 OR SO. WHEN THE RAIN AND WIND PICKED UP, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ABRUPTLY HIT ITS BRAKES. THAT'S WHEN MY TRUCK BRAKES LOCKED AND I BEGAN SLIDING OR BEING PULLED TO THE RIGHT. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE 2 LANE HIGHWAY. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR GOD AND ME, NOT PANICKING... I WOULD HAVE CRASHED! MY TRUCK FISH TAILED TWICE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT... I COULDN'T STOP. I ALMOST PUT THE TRUCK GEAR IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS RAINING SO SOMEHOW THE TRUCK MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN GOING UP A SMALL HILL, GIVING ME CONTROL BACK. THERE WERE 2 OTHER CARS THAT SEEN THIS. I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK! I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WENT TO THE FIRST GAS STATION I SAW AND THANKED GOD NOTHING HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS, WHAT IF MY FAMILY WERE IN THE VEHICLE? HOW IS IT THAT GM IS ALLOWED TO SELL THESE VEHICLES? ALSO, I SEARCHED ALMOST EVERY WEBSITE AND INCLUDED MY VIN... BUT EVERY REPLY SAYS MY TRUCK IS OK (UNTIL TODAY). I HAVEN'T HAD THIS TRUCK FOR A YEAR YET. BUT I'M READY TO TRADE IT IN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL. I ALMOST WANT TO GET MY TRUCK TOWED HOME. WHY PUT PEOPLE LIVES IN JEOPARDY?

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I NEARLY DIED WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED ON MY 2018 GMC DENALI THIS MORNING. I WAS ONLY GOING 60 MPH WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER CUT IN FRONT OF ME, AND HIT THEIR BRAKES BUT WHEN I TRIED TO STOP, I COULD NOT! I THEN BEGAN SWERVING FROM LANE TO LANE BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING. THANK GOD I DIDN'T DIE AND THAT THE PERSON ON THE RIGHT SLOWED DOWN AND MOVED OUT THE WAY. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE PULLING ME TO THE RIGHT. WHY I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT WHY IS GM PUTTING PEOPLE LIVES AT RISK LIKE THIS? WHY ARE WE HAVING TO SUFFER OR PUT OUR FAMILIES IN JEOPARDY. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. MY CHEST STARTED HURTING REALLY BAD AFTERWARDS, BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED. I WAS ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY GOING STRAIGHT BUT EVEN THAT DOESN'T CAUSE A VEHICLE NOT TO RESPOND LIKE IT DID.

STEERING
STEERING BOX ADJUSTMENT SCREW BACKED OUT CAUSING EXCESSIVE SLOP IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS WITH GM'S SOLUTION IS TO ADD LOCKTITE AND TORQUE NUT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION AND IT COULD BACKOUT AGAIN. SHOULD HAVE A MECHANICAL LOCK TO PREVENT IT FROM BACKING OUT.
