AT LOW SPEEDS MY BRAKES STOP WORKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY STIFF AND I HAVE TO USE BOTH FEET PUSHING DOWN AS HARD AS I CAN FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. ALSO,THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH INSIDE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I TURNED THE DIAL OFF OF THE AUTO LIGHTS I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM BEHIND THE DIAL.

I WAS IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NO FLUID IN MY RADIATOR. UPON INSPECTION THE RADIATOR HAD CRACKED AND WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAM RIGHT CORNER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE 7TH ONE THEY HAD DONE THIS SEASON. I LIVE IN MASS NEAR OCEAN. IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND MY WINDOWS WERE UP. THERE WERE NO FUMES, NO WARNING LIGHTS TO ALERT ME SOMETHING WAS GOING WRONG WITH THE HEATING COOLING SYSTEM.. THE CONCERN WAS MY TRUCK WASN'T THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP. THE SAME DEALERSHIP MCGEE RAYNHAM MA HAS BEEN THE ONLY COMPANY TO WORK ON MY TRUCK.

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES CONTINUES TO ROLL EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE FULLY PUSHED. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY AND IS NOTICEABLE WHEN PULLING INTO THE GARAGE. THE BRAKE PADS WERE RECENTLY EVALUATED DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE AT A GM DEALERSHIP.

ON FEB 26 I HAD MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE DONE ALONG WITH 27 VEHICLE INSPECTION, 2 WEEKS LATER ON SAT MARCH 13 DID A QUICK ERRAND AND CAME BACK HOME, A LITTLE AFTER I NOTICED CARAMEL FLUID UNDER MY TRUCK, WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD I AUTOMATIC SAW A LEAK COMING OUT OF THE RESERVOIR SO I OPENED IT AND NOTICE THE SAME CARAMEL FLUID INSIDE AND I KNEW IT'S WASN'T A GOOD SIGN. I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY MARCH 15, AFTER THEY INSPECTED IT I WAS TOLD THEIR WAS AN INTERNAL BREAK IN THE RADIATOR AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSE THE CARAMEL FLUID ACCORDING TO THEIR TECHNICIAN. DEALERSHIP CONTACT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY ARE REPAIRING AND COVERING MOST OF THE COST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HOSES CAUSE THEY ARE NOT COVERED. HOSES ARE NOT BROKEN OR HAVE ANY HOLES THEY'RE REPLACING THEM CAUSE THEY CAUGHT CONTAMINATED BECAUSE OF THE INTERNAL BREAK. DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD E RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF $800

MY LEFT HEAD LIGHT LEFT TURN SIGNAL, HORN , HAZARDS ON MY LEFT SIDE AND WINDOW WASHER FLUID ALL IS NOT WORKING

THIS IS MY FAMILY AUTO I USUALLY USE ONLY ON WEEKENDS THREE WEEKS AGO ENGINE LIGHT COME OUT I TOOK TO THE MECHANIC SHOP FOR A TEST AND THEY TOLD ME THIS LOOKS AS NEED A RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER DEALER THE TRUCK RUNS GOOD WITH OUT PROBLEM BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COME OUT I WILL UPLOAD WHAT'S THE SHOP SAYS

THE TRUCK WILL CUT ENGINE AT ANY SPEED, TOTALLY LOSING POWER TO BREAKS, STEERING, ODOMETERS ETC. IT MOSTLY COMES BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND SENDS A CODE OF MANY DIFFERENT KIDS (SERVICE PARK ASSIST, STABIITRAC, ROLL WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP, TRAILER BRAKE ASSIST ETC) THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS COULD HAPPEN DURING A CRITICAL DRIVING MOVE AND COULD END UP DEADLY. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 70,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND OUT OF STANDARD WARRANTY AND WILL PROBABLY COST A LOT TO FIX. (LABOR MOSTLY) RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS PRETTY COMMON AND VERY SCARY. GM EVEN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT (18-NA-161) SHOWING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, THUS NEED TO COVER THE RECALL RIGHT AWAY.

INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT CAUSED BY FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. STIFF BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE
