AIR BAGS
THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED AROUND THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME MISSILE HAZARDS IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES OF THE CRACK REVEALED THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY THE GM CORPORATION.

ENGINE
AT ~ 54,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOST COMPRESSION ON TWO CYLINDERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO HIGHWAY MILEAGE OF ABOUT 30 MILES/DAY ON AVERAGE AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE EXTENT THAT CYLINDERS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 25 DAYS TO REPAIR. A COWORKER HAD THE SAME ENGINE ISSUE ON HIS CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH THE SAME 5.3 LITER ENGINE AT ~ 45,000 MILES. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF OWNERS COMMENTS THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAILING TO PROPERLY LUBRICATE COMPONENTS WHEN THE ENGINE CYCLES BETWEEN 4 AND 8 CYLINDERS. GM DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THESE INCIDENTS WHEN CONTACTED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP DISAVOWED ANY KNOWLEDGE ALSO ALTHOUGH I PRESENTED THEM OVER A DOZEN PAGES OF GM OWNERS GROUP WEB PAGES WITH DESCRIPTION OF THE SAME ENGINE FAILURES. HOWEVER, WHEN THEIR MECHANIC WAS QUESTIONED AS TO WHETHER HE WAS REPAIRING THE PROBLEM OR MERELY EXCHANGING DAMAGED PARTS, HE REPLIED "IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME". THIS TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE FIRST THAT THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
STABILITY CONTROL. THE STABILITRACK WARNING APPEARS. ALL OF THE GAUGES GO TO ZERO, THE POWER LOCKS ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE, THE ENGINE REVS AND THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE NO CODES ARE SHOWING. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR RECALL. IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM, GOOGLE IT AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. FORCE GM TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

WHEELS
ALL FOUR WHEELS HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS OVER THE COURSE OF MY SIX YEAR OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT SIMPSON GMC OF BUENA PARK, CA, NUMEROUS TECHNICIANS AT SIMPSON GMC, SERVICE MANAGERS AT AMERICA'S TIRE OF VICTORVILLE, HESPERIA, AND FULLERTON, CA AND HAVE HIRED AN OUTSIDE ENGINEER THAT ALL AGREE THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING ON THE 20' DENALI HD WHEELS (RPO: PYS). I HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED INTERACTIONS WITH ALL PARTIES INVOLVED AND I INTEND TO PROVE THE DESIGN FLAW THAT EXISTS WITH THESE WHEELS. I AM ALSO IN CONTACT WITH THE MEDIA REGARDING THE LIFE THREATENING HAZARDOUS DESIGN THESE WHEELS POSE TO THE PUBLIC. GENERAL MOTORS HAS BEEN ADVISED NUMEROUS TIMES OF THE SAFETY HAZARD AND PROBLEMS WITH THESE WHEELS. PLEASE REFERENCE THE TWO LATEST EXECUTIVE OFFICE CASES 8-1552109660 AND 8-2402833027.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TOWING OUR 42 FOOT CAMPER WITH THE 1 TON GMC DUALLY TRUCK WE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF TRUCK BRAKING CAUSING US TO RUN THRU A RED SIGNAL LIGHT. THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND BURST LEAVING VERY LITTLE BRAKING FROM TRUCK. THE BRAKES WERE INSPECTED BY A GM DEALER ONLY 6 MONTHS AGO AND WERE DEEMED OK AFTER A 1200 DOLLAR REPAIR BILL TO REPLACE REAR BRAKES. . THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH SUCH A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF BRAKING . THIS TRUCK IS MADE FOR TOWING AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE THE BRAKING EVER BE COMPROMISED. THE TRUCK HAS 125000 MILES AND SHOULD HAVE HAD A MORE DURABLE DESIGN INTEGRATED INTO THE BRAKE LINES.THERE ALSO WAS AN ENHANCED CHANCE FOR FIRE SINCE BRAKE FLUID WAS SPRAYED ON ENGINE WHEN BRAKES FAILED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DROVE OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THERE WAS VIRTUALLY NO VISIBILITY IN A DARK SUBDIVISION. GMC INITIALLY DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POOR HEADLIGHTS --I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT SINCE THE $60,000.00 DENALI TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK!!GMC EVENTUALLY SAID THEY HAD A "BULLETIN" ON THE PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED THE BULB AND RECALIBRATED THE LIGHTS. ABOUT A 15-20% IMPROVEMENT--I STILL WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT AS IT IS STILL UNSAFE.
