SERVICE BRAKES
Vehicle was 300 miles out of warranty when I get a service trailer brake warning on my info center replaced a blown fuse and the fuse blows again, no trailer has ever been hooked up to this truck. Went online and inquired about this problem and there's thousands of post and complaints about this problem, even on a GM site there's a PI investigation about this problem, why doesn't GM just do a recall to fix a problem they know about. I'm getting ready to buy a travel trailer and now I don't know if its safe to pull it!

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.

STEERING
WHEN I GO OVER CERTAIN HUMPS IN THE ROAD WHILE GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SLIPS OUT OF ITS LOCKING POSITION AND SHIFTS UP AND DOWN AS I PASS THRU THE HUMP. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AND HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. WHILE MY VEHICLE IS COVERED BY WARRANTY (SO NOT LOOKING FOR ANY MONETARY COMPENSATION) IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND SEEMED LIKE A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR OTHER DRIVERS.

STEERING
I HAVE 48,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK , 2019 MODEL. I JUST EXPERIENCE MY STEERING WHEEL TO GET STIFF WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY TO MANEUVER IT WHEN IT WAS STATIONARY. MY DASH BRINGS A TWO MESSAGES, " SERVICE ESC," " SERVICE POWER STEERING." I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS AND THE ANSWER THE WAS NEGATIVE. I DID MY RESEARCH AND ON PREVIOUS MODELS THERE HAS BEEN EXISTING RECALLS ON THIS ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE 21OCT2020 IT STARTED WHINING AND JERKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED THEY COULDN'T SEE US, SO WE TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT GMC DEALERSHIP THAT SAID THE CODES HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED, THEY PREFORMED THE RECALL AND SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. TWO DAYS LATER IT STARTED JERKING AGAIN AND SHUT OFF WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT FROM ON THE 28OCT2020 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK WAS FINE, AND THAT THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. THE TECH SAID HE WOULD DRIVE IT OUT OF THE BAY, IF BRITTANY WOULD OPEN THE DOOR AND BEFORE HE COULD DRIVE IT THROUGH THE GARAGE BAY AREA AND OUT THE GARAGE BAY DOOR THE TRUCK MADE A CRAZY LOUD NOISE, JERK TO A SUDDEN STOP AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART AT ALL AND HAD TO BE TOWED OUT OF THE BAY DOOR. THE 2019 TRUCK HAS HAD 5 RECALLS FOR SAFETY ISSUES AND WITH 40,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT ALL THE WAY OUT AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING THERE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH WAITING ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION TO COME FROM GMC. I GO IN AND SEE THE TRANSMISSION RECALL ON SO MANY 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH THIS TRUCK HAS, AND NOW I FEEL LIKE I WAS SOLD A LEMON AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. % RECALLS AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT COMPLETELY AT 40,000 MILES. I AM SO UPSET ABOUT IT THAT I DO NOT EVEN WANT THE TRUCK ANYMORE. IT IS GOING TO RUIN MY RESALE VALUE AND THE LEMON LAW SHOULD APPLY ON A TRUCK ONE YEAR OLD. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP, AND NOW ON THEIR FRONT DOOR IS A SIGN THAT SAYS THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY POLICIES ON ANY VEHICLE THEY SOLD AFTER NOVEMBER 15, 2020. OF COURSE THEY SOLD ME ZURICH EXTENDED WARRANTY TOO, AND I CAN PROMISE I WILL NEVER BUY GMC AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE A 2017 PATHFINDER ALMOST PAID OFF, THAT I AM GIVING TO MY DAUGHTER, AND I WAS GOING TO GET AN GMC ARCADIA BUT NOT A CHANCE NOW.
