SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
ON 2/5/2017 WHILE TURNING UNTO MY STREET THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT MOVE MY TRUCK FROM HITTING A BLOCK WALL. I ALSO TRIED BREAKING BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO NOT HIT THE WALL. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (20 MPH) BECAUSE I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND ME AND MY FAMILY WERE ALL WEARING SEATBELTS SO NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. AND I ALSO BENT THE STEERING WHEEL IN HALF TRYING TO MOVE IT. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT CALIBER COLLISIONS FOR THE REPAIRS. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS AFTER THE TRUCK COMES OUT OF THE SHOP.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. WHILE GOING UP A HILL, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY. WHILE GOING DOWNHILL, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR WHILE GOING 60 MPH. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES (THEY HAVE IT ON FILE) THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY UNDERSTAND BUT SAID THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

CRACKS APPEARED ON DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG. CRACK NEXT TO AIRBAG APPEARS TO BE SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG DURING DEPLOYMENT OR THE PLASTIC COULD EASILY BREAK AND BE LAUNCHED AS A PROJECTILE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALL FOUR POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. FIRST THREE FAILED BEFORE REACHING 30000 MILES. DEALER ADVISED THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I ARGUED WITH THEM, BY THE TIME MY TRUCK HAD 50000 MILES ALL FOUR HAD FAILED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE MILLIONS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. GM WANTS $300 PER DOOR TO REPAIR. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THEM $1200 FOR SOMETHING I PAID FOR WITH THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK.

POWER TRAIN
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD SHIFT WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR PARK TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS CAUSING A SHAKE SIMILAR TO RUNNING OVER INTERSTATE ROAD BUMPERS/ LINES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY RESET THE "LEARNING TRANSMISSION" FIXING THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY FOR A DAY OR TWO.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
-ALL STARTED WITH LOUD POP, METAL FAILURE SOUND. -AT A STOP, WITH BRAKES APPLIED, THE POWER STEERING TURNS THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TO PULL TO THE LEFT TO KEEP THE WHEEL CENTERED. (NOT MOVING) THIS PRESSURE ISSUE WILL FINALLY STOP AND THE WHEEL WILL CENTER ON IT'S OWN. -STEERING HAS SLOP, FEELS LOOSE, DEAD CENTER -WHILE AT SPEED APPLYING THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TORN FROM MY HAND 3 TIMES. THE POWER STEERING CAUSES TRUCK TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS WHEN BRAKING. 99% OF THE TIME THE TRUCK TURNS RIGHT. THE HYROBOOST SYSTEM IS TURNING THE STEERING SYSTEM TO THE RIGHT WHICH CHANGES THE DIRECTION OF THE TRUCK. -WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST APPEARS TO TURN OFF AND ON. AS IF THERE IS A POWER LOSS OR TOO MUCH POWER WAS APPLIED THAN IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. FIRST DEALER VISIT THE TECH DEEMED THE TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS WAS DETERMINED BY JUST DRIVING THE TRUCK FROM THE SERVICE LANE TO THE GARAGE. TECH IDENTIFIED A GM TSB (PIT5501D) TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND CONTACT GM. GM OUTLINED A REPAIR HOWEVER THE REPAIRS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. THIS WAS AFTER RETURNING TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME AND STATING THE STEERING SYSTEM IS NOW LEAKING AND THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT. 3RD VISIT AT THE 2ND DEALER: SECOND DEALER DROVE THE TRUCK WITH ME AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE DEALER TECH WAS DRIVING AND I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY DEEMED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PUT ME IN A LOANER. 2ND DEALER IDENTIFIED METAL IN THE STEERING FLUID AND PARTS THAT CONTAIN FLUID MUST BE REPLACE. PERSONAL THOUGHTS ARE THE STEERING BOXES ARE FACTORY DEFECTIVE AND CAUSING THEM TO FAIL OVER TIME. THIS THEN INTRODUCES METAL INTO THE HYDROBOOST SYSTEM WHICH RESULTS IN BRAKE AND STEERING FAILURE. *TR
