AUSTIN, TX WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH INFANT CHILD, TRUCK AC WOULD NOT COOL CABIN IN AN UNSEASONABLY WARM NOVEMBER AFTERNOON. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED AS CRACK IN HIGH SIDE REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE HOSE. HAD IT REPAIRED & BRACKET INSTALLED. WHILE HAVING TRUCK IN SHOP BECAME AWARE THAT THIS WAS AN EMERGING ISSUE AND GM HAS NOT ACTED ON RESOLVING THE DESIGN FLAW.

AUSTIN, TX 2ND TIME AC GOES OUT, TRUCK HAS 67,000 MILES. PREVIOUS FAILURE (NOV, 2016 @ 39378 MILES) WAS DUE TO FAULTY LINE/DESIGN IN REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE HOSE. HAD REPAIRED BY DEALER AND BRACKET INSTALLED. SEPT. 2018, AFTER LEAVING TRUCK PARKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE TRAVELING, EXPERIENCED WARM AIR BLOWING OUT OF VENTS UPON RETURN. WORKING WITH DEALER TO RESOLVE, FOR THE 2ND TIME.

THE STEERING BINDS UP ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, AND AT TIMES AN AUDIBLE CLUNK CAN BE HEARD WHEN TURNING LEFT. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING RACK & PINION UNIT FAILED WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE INNER TIE ROD CONNECTS TO THE GEAR.

PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL 17276 LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST -- MY TRUCK IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL, BUT I AM HAVING THE EXACT ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, SUDDEN LOSS AND RETURN OF EPS ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING OR BACKING, BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE MOTIONS. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTTING OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACTIVATING THE TURN INDICATOR TO CHANGE LANES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THIS RECALL, AS THE ELECTRICAL SOFTWARE ISSUES CAN CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO BECOME TEMPORARILY DISABLED, SUCH AS THE RADIO, STABILITRACK, DIC, CHIMES, DOOR-LOCK CYCLING, AIR CONDITIONING, OR CRUISE CONTROL. ALSO, WHEN THE TURN INDICATOR IS ACTIVATED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER ONCE TO FIX THIS, AND THEY REFUSED TO RUN THE RECALL BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS NOT IN THE RECALL GROUP. INSTEAD THEY CHARGED ME OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE A STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR, WHICH I NOW DOUBT WAS THE PROBLEM SINCE THE ISSUES WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND DISABLING OF CRUISE CONTROL HAVE RETURNED. I JUST WANT THIS FIXED.

AIR CONDITIONING-GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM OF THERE AIR CONDITIONERS IN MY TRUCK AS WELL AS MANY OTHER TRUCKS JUST LIKE MINE. HOWEVER THEY DO NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD HAVE BE DONE AND MANY PEOPLE AGREE ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE PART WHICH IS THE CONDINSER IS A CRITICAL PART IN THE AIR CONDITION SYSTEM

DRIVING TRUCK, SLOW SPEED, STABIL TRACK WARNING, POWER ASSISIT WARNING, DASH LIGHTS GO OUT , MASS ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN ALL OTHER DASH SYSTEMS. HEAD LIGHTS BLINK WITH RANDOM. I TRACED ISSUE TO A BAD GROUND CONNECTION IN THE DASH. SOUND REDUCTION MATERIAL WAS PINCHED UNDER GROUND STUD CONNECTION CAUSING HIGH RESISTANCE CONNECTION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE IT WILL EFFECT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT FAILS. IT IS A ASSEMBLY ISSUE ON THE PRODUCTION LINE AND ALL VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR INSPECTION OF THIS ISSUE.
