WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL SHARPLY AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY TURNS OFF, AS WELL AS ALL OTHER ELECTRONICS MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND POSING A SAFETY RISK.

AT SLOW SPEEDS, MAINLY WHEN BACKING AND TURNING WHEEL WHEN GOING FORWARD AT VERY SLOW SPEED, STEERING LOSES POWER. ALSO SOME TIMES HARD TO TURN WHEN VEHICLE NOT IN MOTION AT ALL. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO FLASHED TOTALLY OFF AND RIGHT BACK ON. I HEARD A DINGING/WARNING NOISE AND A WARNING MESSAGE FLASHED BUT WENT OFF BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT.

THE PAIN ON THE GMC VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE IT STARTED TO PEEL ON ITS OWN UNDER HEAVY RAIN! THAT HAS NEVER OCCURRED TO ANY OF MY VEHICLES THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR OVER 15 YEARS!

VIRTUALLY UNABLE TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL AT LOWER SPEEDS - TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. "NO RECALLS AVAILABLE" ACCORDING TO THE DEALER DATABASE, BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE SAME BRAKE RECALL ISSUE THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS FOR A FEW YEARS UNTIL 2 PEOPLE DIED.

THERE IS A LEAK ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE A/C CONDENSER RESULTING IN HOT AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS WHEN THE A/C IS ENABLED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND GM HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

TSB # 17336 AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER (COMBI-COOLER) REFRIGERANT LEAK

DURING PARKING (LOW SPEEDS) MY BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN MAKING NOISE. WHEN STOPPING IN THE PARKING SPOT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND COULD ONLY PRESS IT DOWN 1/2"-1", BARELY ABLE TO STOP.
