MY CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING INSIDE DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE SEAL OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IN TOP AND CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES FOR CAR ONE EXAMPLE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND ETC

THIS CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS. MY AMP HAS SHORTED OUT DUE TO ALL THE WATER AND I CAN IMAGINE WHAT'S NEXT. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD GO OUT NEXT. I WISH GMC WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF OUR ISSUES WITH THE SAME WATER LEAK! I AM GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF GETTING RAINED ON INSIDE MY CAR.

MY LIFT GATE DOOR FELL AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE RECALL FOR THAT EXACT PROBLEM. MY AIRBAG INDICATOR GOES OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN IF NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY SPEEDOMETER BARELY WORKS, IT GOES COMPLETELY AROUND AND I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S A SENSOR THAT CAUSES IT ALONG WITH THE SLOW CRANKING BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 4.
