UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A/C STOPPED COOLING LAST SPRING/SUMMER. I LIVE IN LOUISIANA SO DRIVING WITHOUT A/C WAS NOT AN OPTION, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN AND ELDERLY PARENTS . I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A NATIONWIDE ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN, BUT THAT GMC WOULD NOT PAY TO REPAIR IT. I HAD TO PAY OVER $1,000 OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED. GMC NEEDS TO REIMBURSE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL- WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AS STATED ON MY RECALL NOTICE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE! WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER (TAKATA) OF THESE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS THAT ARE KILLING PEOPLE TO MAKE THESE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE? I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON THAT I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL OF GETTING HURT OR KILLED BY THE COMPONENTS THAT ARE INSTALLED TO PROTECT YOU! WHEN IS THE AUTO MANUFACTURER GOING TO MAKE THIS MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE? WHEN IS OUR GOVERNMENT GOING TO MAKE THIS MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE? WE'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT SINCE 2015-2016 AND STILL THERE ARE THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS OF VEHICLES THAT ARE TICKING TIME BOMBS THAT NO ONE IS TAKING SERIOUSLY UNTIL AFTER THE FACT YOU KNOW WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED. WE NEED HELP THAT IS COMING WAY TO SLOW BECAUSE OF THE MONEY INVOLVED IN CORRECTING THIS DEADLY PROBLEM. WHY DON'T WE MAKE THIS MANUFACTURER PROVIDE EVERYONE THAT HAS A VEHICLE UNDER THIS RECALL PROVIDE US WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR LIVES! WHY DON'T WE MAKE THE MANUFACTURER GIVE US FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR OUR VEHICLES SO WE CAN PURCHASE A SAFER VEHICLE? I'M SICK AND TIERED OF BEING TOLD THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE YET! WE NEED HELP, AND HELP RIGHT NOW NOT LATER AS IT ALREADY HAS BEEN!!!!

STEERING
STEERING PULLS TO LEFT WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, AND TERRAIN. PULLS ENOUGH TO TURN YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IF YOU DO NOT CORRECT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. STEERING PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE AT LOW SPEED AND AT STOPS WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL THE ENTIRE DASH AND ENGINE CUT OFF AND COME BACK ON. THE STEERING ALSO LOCKS UP TO A POINT OF NOT TURNING EITHER WAY. ALL INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON A VERY SMOOTH FLAT ROAD. THIS PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER ON ONE OCCASION WHILE TURNING ON A HIGHWAY WHERE MY ENTIRE TRUCK SHUT OFF MID TURN.I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRING ON MY PHONE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REACH OUT TO ME FOR THAT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A STABILTRAC ISSUE, ONE OF GMC'S TRACTION CONTROL BRANDING THINGS. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE ALL OVER GOOGLE WHILE SEARCHING IT AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS WILL HAPPEN.

NOW I DEMAND MY TRUCK FIXED AND A LOANER UNTIL YOU CAN GET THE PARTS.I AM SCARED TO DEATH EVERY TIME I NEED TO UNEXPECTED THE TRUCK, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU START HELPING YOUR GM CUSTOMERS OUT?
