RADIATOR CORROSION AND LEAKING. OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR HAD SAME CORROSION BUT THIS ONE WAS NOT COVERED . PRODUCED IN SAME PLANT AND TIE AND LOCATION. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED PRIOR TO THIS AND NO NOTIFICATION OF LEAKING REPORTED BY THE DEALER UNTIL WE BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.
AT LOW SPEEDS (PARKING MANEUVERING) BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND BRAKING POWER IS LOST INTERMITTENTLY.
THE TRUCK CAUGHT FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK
VEHICLE MOVING ON HARD SURFACE. STEERING TURNED TO LIMIT AND ABRUPTLY, WHEEL IS "WHIPPED" BACK AWAY FROM LIMIT. THE ACTION IS SO SEVERE, IT WHIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I TRACKED TO THE OPPOSING LANE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I WAS LINING UP IN A PARKING SLOT. GM SERVICE BULLETIN: #PIT5405A RECOMMENDS FIXES. GM NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE ON THIS OR SOMEONE COULD BECOME INJURED OR WORSE.

Across model years
Worst on record: 2014Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
