TRANSMISSION TORCH CONVERTER AND CAN NOT KEEP WHEELS BALANCED ARM SUSPENSION CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING

TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP ON RANDOM OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING BEFORE SHIFTING PERIOD VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO TURN. GM TOLD ME THEY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OF COURSE AND SAID INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH UPDATED PARTS THAT WERE BAD FROM THE FACTORY.

WHILE PARKING THE TRUCK I LOSS ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. ONCE STOPPED AND PARKED I REPEATEDLY PUMPED THE PEDAL WITH NO CHANGES. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE FLUID OR SYSTEM IN GENERAL. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES FOR 10 MINUTES. HE CHECKED THE PADS AND CALIPERS FOR ANY ISSUES WITH NONE BEING FOUND. AFTER PUTTING THE WHEELS BACK ON THE TRUCK IT EXHIBITED A RECURRENCE OF LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE.

TRANSMISSION ALMOST HAS SOME WHAT OF A SHUTTER WHEN SHIFTING AS WELL AS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER RPM AND THEN SLOW DOWN QUICKLY HITS HARD AS IF GETTING REAR ENDED

I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION, WHERE I WAS SITTING STATIONARY. THE OTHER VEHICLE HIT ME GOING ESTIMATED SPEED OF 50 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, YET THE GAS FROM THE AIRBAGS FILLED THE VEHICLE AND SOME OF THE PLASTIC IN THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN BROKEN/DAMAGED. THE POLICE OFFICER ASKED ME IF I "VAPED", THAT IS HOW CLOUDY IT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND SMELLED LIKE SULFUR. THIS HAS CAUSED GREAT CONCERN THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, YET THE GASES FROM THEM DID.

THE FACTORY EXTERIOR RADIO GPS ON STAR { SHARK FIN} ANTENNA RUBBER SEAL AND IMPROPERLY GM DESIGNED PART AND IMPROPERLY LOCATED WATER DRAIN HOLE ALLOWED WATER TO DRAIN INTO THE VEHICLES INTERIOR AND SHORT OUT THE RADIO, GPS AND ONSTAR FUNCTIONS,ON 9/17/2020 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED 135.00 AND WAS TOLD THAT GM IS NOT GOING TO REPAIR THE PART AND SEAL WHICH COMES ON THE NEW PART TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW PCM PART NUMBER 19417067. VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE OF THREE YEARS AND LESS THAN 30,000 MILES

THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WITH THE HEAT ON FULL, HEATED SEATS ON, AND THE REAR DEFROST. I SMELT SMOKE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR. I LOOKED IN MY BACK SEAT TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY REAR WINDOW. I DID NOT OPERATE MY REAR POWER WINDOW AT ANY POINT TODAY. I STOPPED AND LOOKED CLOSER TO SEE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL MELTING BEHIND THE REAR PASSENGER HEAD REST (SEE PICTURE). SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD POP, IT WAS THE REAR WINDOW BREAKING. THE WHOLE THING DID NOT BREAK, JUST THE 1/3 ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE I USED THE REAR DEFROST. I'M VERY HAPPY NOTHING CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MY BACK SEAT WAS EMPTY. WHEN I DROVE HOME THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS, THE REAR DEFROST WAS OFF BUT NOW I HAVE A SHATTERED. I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN MY TRUCK BED THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN THE WINDOW, I BELIEVE THE HEAT FROM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSED IT TO SHATTER. I HAVE SEEN THAT CANADA HAS RECALLED THIS TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND WHO IS GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT TEMPORARILY AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY BUT THEN A MONTH LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN TURNING RIGHT INTO A DRIVEWAY EXCEPT THIS TIME THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED AND WENT POWERLESS. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GURANTEE A FIX BUT STATED THEY DISCONNECTED AND CLEANED A FEW GROUNDS BEFORE REATTACHING THEM. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DECLINED TO ASSIST AT ALL WITH COVERING THE SHOP CHARGES. THE TRUCK THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES.
