EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THERE IS A DISTINCT DARK SECTION OR LINE ACROSS THE UPPER ONE-HALF TO 3/4 OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY WAY TO SEE AT ALL IS TO DUCK YOUR HEAD UNDER IT, OR TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON BRIGHT. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER AND HE HAS NO INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT IT TO DATE. *TR

STRUCTURE
DASH IS CRACKED IN THREE (3) LOCATIONS. ONE LOCATION IS NEAR AIR BAG AND PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT ENGAGE. DEALERSHIP AND GM DIRECTLY HAVE ADVISED THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY ON ITS OWN, OR COULD FAIL TO DEPLOY IF NEEDED, BOTH OF WHICH ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. DASH CRACKS ARE LARGE. THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS GONE HAYWIRE. AFTER THREE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS BY A DEALERSHIP, THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISABLE COMPLETELY AT RANDOM, REQUIRING TOWS ON TOO MANY OCCASIONS TO RECALL. ELECTRICAL ISSUES STILL REMAIN. I AM AFRAID THAT THE VEHICLE WILL CATCH FIRE, AS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE ENGAGED AND OPERATING WHEN THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. DOOR HANDLE ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. OTHER DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK, BUT DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE DOOR HAS FAILED TO OPEN WHEN NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE CHROME COVERING COATING. THE COATING IS PEELING OFF AND IS VERY SHARP, RESULTING IN CUTS TO YOUR HANDS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FILE DOWN THE COATING, BUT HAVE FINALLY COVERED IT WITH DUCT TAPE TO AVOID FURTHER CUTS TO MY HANDS AND MY PASSENGERS HANDS. ON A COSMETIC NOTE, THE COATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALL PEELING OFF. ALL OF THE ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ARE HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS AND GM HAS FAILED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO BEEN OVERCHARGED BY AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP FOR TIME EXPENDED ON REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
THERE ARE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED IF THE AIR BAG WILL PREMATURELY DEPLOY, OR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY AS DESIGNED WITH THE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2008 TAHOE LTZ. THERE ARE COUNTLESS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WITH THE CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE ELECTRICALLY SYSTEM AND WHAT THE CRACKS MIGHT BE DOING. *TR

TIRES, WHEELS, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ON THE IH-93 NB AT 55 MPH. SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE TIRES, BUT DID NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE INFLATED TO THE SPECS (35 PSI). I KEPT DRIVING, AND AFTER 20-25 MILES I HEARD A SOUND AS IF SOMETHING WAS RUBBING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER FENDER AREA. I BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND WANTED TO STOP. AT THAT MOMENT MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE SEPARATED. IT WAS A PRIMEWELL VALERA HT 235/75-15 TIRE, INSTALLED AT A FIRESTONE SHOP IN PLAISTOW, NH IN NOVEMBER, 2014 WITH A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON IT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AT TAX TIME IN 2014. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TRUCK. IT'S A LIFTED, AUTOMATIC 4WD WITH FRONT AND BACK TOWING PKG, AND PERFECT FOR THE MOUNTAIN ROADS AND SNOW WHERE I LIVE. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I HAD TO TRAVEL 300 MILES TO TUCSON AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED SO I TRANSFERRED MY JOB AND STARTED OVER IN TUCSON. AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION WITH THE DEALER, THEY FINALLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. THEY GAVE ME A 300 MI WARRANTY (ALL I NEEDED TO GET BACK TO TUCSON) AND LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER I GOT HOME, THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. SO I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE I GOT IT FIXED. I CAME ACROSS ENOUGH MONEY TO GET ME AND MY CHILDREN OUT OF DV SITUATION AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THEM TO MICHIGAN. MADE IT TO OK AND IT WAS COMPLETELY BURNED OUT AGAIN. I ALWAYS HAVE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE, I DO UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE AN AUTOMATIC 4WD, I DON'T PUSH MY VEHICLE TOO HARD. I MADE IT TO MICHIGAN BUT HERE IT IS WINTER AND I HAVE A TRUCK IN OK THAT I LOVE AND AM STILL PAYING FOR AND CAN'T USE, AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS GOING OUT AND IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE 2 KIDS AND ONE ON THE WAY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX MY TRUCK OR GET A NEW ONE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY TRANSMISSION, BUT CANNOT FIND ONE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I NEED TO KNOW OR CAN DO. *TR
