POOR LIGHTING (HEADLIGHTS), TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS UNSAFE. WORSE YET, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE TSB WHICH GIVES A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT, AND CANNOT GET IT DONE AT NO COST TO ME DUE TO MY WARRANTY BEING OVER BY 4,000 MILES.

AIR BAGS
INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF TRUCK. IF THE AIRBAG WENT OFF IT WOULD INJURE OR KILL THE CHILD. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED TO HOOK UP A CAR SEAT. THERE IS NO DEVICE TO TURN OFF THE AIRBAG WHEN A CHILD IS IN THEIR SEAT. NOBODY MENTIONED THIS WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL A CAR SEAT. WENT TO MICHIGAN STATE POLICE CAR SEAT EXPERT AND THE SARGE TELLS ME SHE HAS TRIED TO GET THEM TO INSTALL A SWITCH. I HAVE THE FEDERAL FORM SAYING I ASSUME ALL LIABILITY . THERE EITHER NEEDS A SWITCH OR SAY YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL A CAR SEAT. CALLING GM I WAS TOLD TO PUT THE CHILD SEAT IN THE BACK. I HAVE ONLY ONE SEAT NO BACK SEAT. I ASKED IF I SHOULD INSTALL IT IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THERE RESPONSE WAS PUT CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT. I WOULD IF I HAD ONE!. I AM AFRAID TO CARRY MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN MY VEHICLE. THE SARGENT CONFIRMED NOT TO PLACE CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE BECAUSE IF THE DRIVERS AIRBAG WENT OFF IT WOULD KILL HER. THE MANUAL SAY DON'T PUT THE CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE. IF PLACED ON THE PASSENGER SEAT IT WOULD HURT HER AND POSSIBLY BREAK BOTH LEGS. GM REFUSES TO INSTALL A SWITCH EVEN AT MY EXPENSE. THEY SAY IT IS A LIABILITY. IT SEEMS TO ME THEY ARE LIABLE IF THEY DON'T. NEED SOME HELP SO MORE KIDS DON'T GET HURT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. HIGH BEAM ALSO DOES NOT HELP THE ILLUMINATION ISSUES. DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT IS SCARY THE LIGHTS ARE DIM, AND DO NOT LIGHT UP SURROUNDING AREAS. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 MONTHS PUT NEW BULBS IN, AND I STILL WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY WITH ME. SPENT 45K ON TRUCK AND CANT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BULBS, BRANDS, LOOKED FOR SOLUTIONS, AND STILL HAVE YET TO FIND ANY HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS INSPECTING MY TRUCK FOR PROPER FLUID LEVELS AND WEAR WHEN I FOUND MY TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE LAYING ON MY ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK TUBE. I WENT TO GRAB IT TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND IT WAS JUST FLOPPING IN THE WIND. I PULLED MY TRUCK ONTO RAMPS, SLID UNDERNEATH AND INSPECTED THE ISSUE. I FOUND THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK/FLUID FILLER TUBE COMPLETELY FRACTURED IN HALF. THE DIPSTICK IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT IN PLACE. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS FAILURE, BUT THAT THE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED TO MY VIN. MY TRUCK=2008GMC SIERRA 2500HD WITH A GAS 6.0L ENGINE AND A 6L90 TRANSMISSION. MY MILEAGE=71,800. THE TUBE IS COMPLETELY SEVERED JUST ABOVE THE BRACKET THAT MOUNTS THE TUBE TO THE BELL HOUSING. MIND YOU - THIS IS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE PICK UP THAT I USE AS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE. SOUND SILLY, I KNOW, BUT THE RECALLS WERE AGAINST 2010-2013 ESCALADES AND SUCH. AN ESCALADE!?? THEY SITED "ENGINE VIBRATION" I BELIEVE THE FAILURE IS MORE LIKELY TO BE DUE TO OVER HARDENING OF THE TUBING LEADING TO BRITTLENESS. BOUNCING AND ENGINE VIBRATIONS JUST DID THE REST OF IT. I SPOKE WITH A LADY AT GM AND SHE CREATED A CASE FOR ME. SHE SAID TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP, HAVE THEM INSPECT IT AND THEN GET WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE CONTACT THERE. WE'LL SEE WHAT THAT RESULTS IN FOR ME. *TR
