POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING I FELT A SLIGHT SHIFT BETWEEN 1 AND 2. THAT SEEMED PRETTY NORMAL. WHILE DRIVING TO THE OCEAN BETWEEN 50-60 MPH THERE WAS NOT SHIFTING, SHARKING OR JERKING. ONCE SLOWING DOWN TO 30-40 MPH THE RPMS GO EXTREMELY HIGH TO 4 OR 5. PULLING AND JERKING THE VEHICLE. HAPPENING AROUND 20-30 MPH OR AT 40-50. THE VEHICLE WILL COME TO A STOP CAUSING TRAFFIC DISRUPTIONS AND NEAR ACCIDENTS. NO SERVICE OR CODING HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE WITH VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING, A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE DISPLAY THAT READS: "WARNING TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TOO LONG, OR TOO OFTEN WHILE USING THIS SYSTEM COULD CAUSE A CRASH, RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS. FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON DRIVING" SERIOUSLY, WHEN A WARNING MESSAGE POPS UP, WE READ IT! I HAVE GOTTEN USE TO THIS STUPIDITY AND JUST HIT OK. BUT EVEN AT THAT, YOU STILL GET DISTRACTED. PROBLEM NOW, IS THAT EVEN HITTING OK DOES NOT CLEAR IT. THIS MESSAGE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS A BIG ISSUE AMONG MANY GMC AND CHEVY OWNERS. GM IS LITERALLY CREATING THE SAFETY HAZARD.

PAINT IS LITERALLY FALLING OFF IN CHUNKS. I BABY MY TRUCK. ITS MINT CONDITION, BUT I NOTICED THE PAINT IS NOT ADHERING TO THE PRIMER IN ATLEAST 2 SPOTS. AFTER SOME RAIN, THE PAINT JUST FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ASSIST IN REPAIRING. FOR THE COST OF THE VEHICLE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A MAJOR ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO CLAIMS OR PREVIOUS BODY DAMAGE.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING WITH THE ROADS IN A WET CONDITION, FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME, AND IN DIFFERENT MANEUVERS, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL START FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO LOSE POWER. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO SOLID AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE LOSES MORE POWER. ON BRAKING, JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THERE IS A CLUNK IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES. THIS HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS. UPON INVESTIGATION, TROUBLE CODE P0308 SHOWS IN THE OBD TOOL. THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPRODUCE BY THE DEALERSHIP SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RESOLUTION, JUST THOUGHTS.

TIRES
ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2021, MY HUSBAND (DRIVER) AND MYSELF (PASSENGER) WERE TRAVELING ON A SAINT LOUIS HIGHWAY AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SUDDENLY BLEW WITH NO WARNING. THERE WERE NO TIRE PRESSURE OR OTHER WARNINGS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH OF THE TRUCK. AFTER PULLING OVER, WE DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE TIRE HAD COMPLETELY BLOWN (LARGE HOLES OVER THE ENTIRETY OF THE WALL OF THE TIRE). IT WAS NOT UNTIL A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER THE TIRE BLEW THAT THE TRUCK DISPLAYED A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE TIRE MAKER'S WEBSITE, I DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR THE EXACT TIRE HOWEVER, THE DATE AS LISTED ON THE DOT NUMBER WAS ONE WEEK OFF. OUR TIRES SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE TIRE MAKER'S DEFECT WAS EXACTLY AS IT OCCURRED WHEN OUR TIRE BLEW OUT.

TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG GM RECALL N212328780. GM SAFETY RECALL LETTER DATED 02/2021 INDICATING PART IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED ONCE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.
