AFTER I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN REGARD TO THE AIR BAGS, I DECIDED TO LOOK AT MY DASH JUST AS A VISUAL INSPECTION. I HAVE A DASH COVER TO PROTECT IT FROM THE HEAT. AS I TOOK IT OFF THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE CRACKED DASH ABOVE MY GAUGE CLUSTER, RIGHT ON THE "HUMP". VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE I TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND I DON'T APPLY ANY SOLVENTS ON THE DASH. MOSTLY SOAP AND WATER THEN IF ANY A WATER BASED CLEANER/ PROTECTOR.

DASH BOARD CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG, WORRIED THAT PLASTIC PIECES WOULD DAMAGE THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAG THUS INJURING PASSENGER AND DRIVER.

DASH HAS BEGUN TO CRACK ALL OVER PARTICULARLY AROUND AIR BAG. CRACK JUST STARTED TO APPEAR AND ARE GETTING WORSE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC

NOTICED CRACKS IN TWO PLACES ON THE DASH. THE AIRBAG COVER IS ALSO POPPING UP A LITTLE. JUST NOTICED WHEN GETTING IN VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

I PURCHASED A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500 IN NON. OF 2014. THE DASH BOARD IS NOW CRACKING. IT INITIALLY STARTED BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND NOW THERE IS A CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS ONE STARTING OVER THE GAUGES. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO AN ACCIDENT WOULD DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS SENDING SHARDS OF THE DASH BOARD FLYING DIRECTLY INTO THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. VERY UNSAFE IF I GOT IN A CRASH THOSE PIECES WOULD CRACK AND GO FLYING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHORTED RANDOMLY SINCE 2011. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THIS 2011 GMC SIERRA DENALI IN JULY OF 2014 FROM AN INDIVIDUAL, AND THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK ON THE DASH ALONGSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, THIS CRACK HAS ENLARGED SO THAT THE CRACK IS WIDE OPEN IN THE DASH AND I AM AFRAID IN A COLLISION THAT THE DASH WILL CRACK FURTHER AND SHARDS OF PLASTIC WILL SPRAY ON MYSELF OR PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO.

DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS CRACKED IN 2 CORNERS

THERE IS A 4" STRESS CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD JUST HEAD OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER WHICH DEVELOPED A WEEK AGO. MY CONCERN IS TWO FOLD 1) THE CRACK WILL INCREASE IN SIZE REDUCING THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, 2) IN A IMPACT SITUATION, THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASH MAY BE COMPROMISED ALLOWING PIECES OF PLASTIC TO BECOME PROJECTILES, POSSIBLY DAMAGING OCCUPANTS OR DEFLATING THE AIRBAGS THEREBY REDUCING THERE EFFECTIVENESS IN A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT RECEIVED THE SAME DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

CRACKING DASH IN MANY AREAS EXPOSING ELECTRICAL WIRING.

THIS IS THE THIRD GM VEHICLE OF THIS YEAR MODEL RANGE THAT I HAVE OWNED. ALL 3 HAVE RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC CRACKING OF THE DASH, ALL THREE IN EITHER EXACT, OR CLOSE TO EXACT LOCATIONS. THESE CRACKS ARE CONNECTING TO THE AIRBAG, AND CONNECTING TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER FIELD OF VIEW. I HAVE POINTY SHARDS OF PLASTIC AND HOLES IN THE SIERRA I CURRENTLY OWN. I AM NO ENGINEER, HOWEVER I AM POSITIVE THAT IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, OR A FORWARD IMPACT COLLISION THAT MYSELF AND/OR MY FAMILY WILL HAVE MUCH MORE TO WORRY ABOUT THAN JUST THE IMPACT. OUTSIDE OF OPERATIONAL USE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GENERAL MOTORS WOULD CONTINUE TO BALK ON ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. I LOVE GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS, AND I NEVER WANT TO OWN ANYTHING DIFFERENT, BUT MY FAMILY BEING HARMED AND/OR THE CONSTANT EYESORE OF SUCH A NICE VEHICLE APPEARANCE BEING TAINTED IS EFFECTING MY OVERALL OPINION. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY TO BE INJURED BY THE FAULTY DESIGN AND ENGINEERING OF THE INEVITABLE "SHATTERED DASH" OF THE GM'S THAT YOU GUYS HAVE COME TO KNOW OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. IT IS ATROCIOUS AND AN ALL OUT SAFETY HAZARD.

MY 2011 GMC SIERRA DENALI DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED FROM AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE TO THE SPEEDOMETER

TAKATA RECALL GM RECALL SIERRA AIRBAGS, WITH SPECIAL NOTE THAT I LIVE IN AND PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN A HIGH RISK HIGH HUMIDITY AREA SOUTH CAROLINA BUT ARE FIGHTING BASIS OF TAKATA RECALL UNTIL THEY DO THEIR OWN TESTING. I CALLED DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY: NO FURTHER INFO. GM KEEPS STATING PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE NOT ADDRESSING CONCERN- THEY ARE FIGHTING THE REALITY TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. FROM GM'S WEBSITE: SAFETY & NON-COMPLIANCE RECALLS WHAT'S THIS? 'GM RECALL #: '2049151 'NHTSA # '16V381 'DATE ISSUED: 'MAY 27, 2016 RECALL TITLE: PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS RECALL DESCRIPTION: TAKATA CORPORATION ('TAKATA') HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2007-2011 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT, CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO 1500, SUBURBAN, TAHOE, GMC SIERRA 1500, YUKON, YUKON XL, AND 2009-2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500/3500 AND GMC SIERRA 2500/3500 VEHICLES. THIS IS BASED UPON TAKATA'S DECISION THAT FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS IT SUPPLIED TO GM ARE DEFECTIVE. ACCORDINGLY, GM WILL CONDUCT A RECALL OF ITS AIRBAG INFLATORS COVERED BY TAKATA'S DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT, UNLESS GM IS ABLE TO PROVE TO NHTSA'S SATISFACTION THAT THE INFLATORS IN ITS VEHICLES DO NOT POSE AN UNREASONABLE RISK TO SAFETY. SAFETY RISK DESCRIPTION: THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATOR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIR BAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT PLASTIC PIECES OF DASHBOARD WILL BECOME DANGEROUS FLYING OBJECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT THAT DEPLOYS THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH GM AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS NOW AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A CONTINUING SAFETY ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY GMC SIERRA OWNERS

FOR THE FULL TERM OF OWNERSHIP, WHILE IN THE ACT OF REFUELING, THE GAS FILL WOULD TRIGGER AND SHUT OFF GAS 10 TO 20 TIMES DURING FILL UP, AT EVERY MANUFACTURERED PUMP, NOZZLE OR GAS STATION IN CREATION, JUST AN ABSOLUTE JOKE.

BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR MANY ISSUES, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE SIDE MOLDING STARTING TO COME OFF ON ALL 4 DOORS, THEY HAD TO ORDER AND PAINT THE MOLDINGS SO IU RETURN OVER A HOLIDAY WEEKEND FOR THEM TO REPAIR. WHEN I SHOWED UP, THEY HAD ONLY DONE ONE SIDE AND IT WAS CROOKED, AND NOT THE SIDE THAT WAS WORSE. THAT WAS 2012 AFTER ONE YEAR, THEY SOON CAME OFF IN 2014 CURLING OFF THE TRUCK, THE REPLACED ONES, I TOOK CARE OF THE OTHER TWO AND THEY LOOKED GREAT.

IN ONLY 600 MILES THE SUSPENSION WAS BEGINING TO FEEL LIKE A BUCKBOARD, AND IF A GOOD ENOUGH SIZED POT HOLE WAS RUN OVER TRHE SOUND WAS SO LOUD AND THERE WAS A DISTINCT BELL GONG RATTLE. THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING PECULIAR, BUT FOR A TRUCK WITH 6000 MILES ONLY AND 1 YEAR, IT FELT 10 YEARS OLD, THIS PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY, AND INFACT GOT WORSE, MUCH WORSE

DASHBOARD CRACKING ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS WELL AS ALONG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACKS GROW WITH EVERY CRACK IN THE ROADWAY AND ARE SEEMINGLY NOT ABLE TO BE PATCHED AS THEY GLUE THEY USE JUST WEARS OFF FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

GOT IN MY TRUCK FOR WORK AND DISCOVERED THE DASH WAS CRACKED!! SITTING STILL OVERNIGHT AND THE DASH CRACKS!!! IF A LEMON LAW IS FOR LEMONS, IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM!!! IT'S TIME FOR GM TO STEP UP - WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THEM?

DASH CRACKED FOR AROUND AIRBAG AND THE CENTER SPEAKER FOR NO KNOWN REASON ALWAYS GARAGED NEVER PARKED IN SUN WITHOUT SUN SHADE I FEEL THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED DUE TO THE CRACKED PLASTIC AROUND THE AIRBAG...

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY THE DASH CRACKED AT THE LEFT HAND TOP CORNER OF THE AIR BAG, COULD THIS BE A PROBLEM IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED TRUCK ONLY HAS 40K MILES

I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WERE TO EVER DEPLOY, FLYING PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD WILL CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY DASH HAS A CRACK IN IT ALREADY AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FLAW ON GM'S PART.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND CONTINUES TO CRACK EVEN MORE. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OUT OF THE SUN. IT IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER BUT ONLY USED ON THE WEEKENDS FOR FUN. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING BIGGER AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MAJOR CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THE CLUSTER AREAS. WHEN YOU SPEND 45,000 OR MORE ON A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT A QUALITY PRODUCT. I SOLD MY BMW 750 LI AND PURCHASED THIS GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI 2011. I HAVE VIEWED MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME CONCERNS AND/OR ISSUES AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THIS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. AMERICA IS BETTER THAN THIS. I KNOW THIS DOES NOT MATTER BUT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN VEHICLE AND HAVE PURCHASED A LOT OF VEHICLES DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN. LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING!

CRACKING AROUND THE AIR BAG WITH THE DASH WHICH COULD TURN TO SHRAPNEL IN THE EVEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

CRACKED DASH PANEL ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED ON 1/14/14 ON WARRANTY. NOW CRACKED AGAIN IN THE SAME PLACE ON 5/29/16.

MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE DASH, STARTING AT THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT HAS CRACKED ENTIRELY THROUGH TO THE DASH TRIM PIECE ROUGHLY 3-4 INCHES AWAY. NOT ONLY IS IT A TREMENDOUS EYE-SORE, THAT MOST OF MY PASSENGERS NOTICE AND COMMENT ON... BUT HAS ME EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY. IF THIS VEHICLE WERE TO BE IN A COLLISION AND THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, I AM SURE THAT FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE PROPELLED THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE AIRBAG FIRED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATE IT IS NOT COVERED, AND HAVE QUOTED ME A REPAIR COST OF JUST OVER $1,000. THIS DEFECT IN THE DASH PIECE SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING INCIDENT IN A LOT OF 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS. MY DASH POPS AND CREAKS WHILE DRIVING, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE INSANE REPLACEMENT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.

MY DASH IS CRACKED AND I AM AFRAID OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

DASHBOARD CRACKED AT 65000 MILES NEAR AIRBAG.

CRACKS ON BOTH THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ONE ON DRIVER'S SIDE IS ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG.

THE DASH BOARD HAS A CRACK BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND A RACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE CAVING IN. I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF AT ANYTIME OR WILL NOT GO OFF AT ALL.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ALL MY DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, ALL MY EMERGENCY CHECKS AND SERVICE LIGHT GO ON AND OFF, MY GAUGES ALL DROP TO ZERO, AND MOST RECENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT'S WORSE THAN OTHERS. I RECENTLY HAD TO STEER UP ONTO A CURB BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AND MY GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO AND MY ENGINE COMPLETELY CUT OUT. AND THAT WAS AFTER MY AIRBAGS SHUT OFF AND MY LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKS FLICKERED REPEATEDLY. MAYBE THERE'S A SHORT IN A CIRCUIT OR WIRE OR MAYBE IT'S MY ALTERNATOR BUT SERVICES AT A DEALERSHIP ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING IT. AND AL THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR STATIONARY. RAIN OR DRY. DOESN'T MATTER. BUT IT'S CLEARLY UNSAFE. AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT'S MY ONLY MEANS FOR TRANSPORTATION.

CRACKED DASH IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING AROUND AIRBAG. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY.

THE THROTTLE BODY AND PEDAL CHIP WENT BAD CAUSING A ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE, LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL. MECHANIC STATED HE'S BEEN REPLACING 5-12 A MONTH ON THE SAME ENGINE (5.3 LITER V8). OTHER MODELS ARE SUPPOSEDLY UNDER RECALL. REPAIRS COST IN EXCESS OF $500.

MY SIERRA HAS TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH, ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE OTHER FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN GM TRUCKS FROM 2007-2013, WITH THE CRACK FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT BEING THE MOST COMMON. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE DEDICATED TO THIS DEFECT WITH THOUSANDS OF EXAMPLES. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SENDS PLASTIC SHARDS THROUGHOUT THE CAB.

MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE IN PARTICULAR ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WHICH LEADS ME TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE. IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, WHAT'S TO PREVENT THE DASH FROM SHATTERING AND CUTTING THE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS OR WORSE, THE DASH BECOMING SHRAPNEL?

THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, YET THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME A NOTICE SAYING THERE WAS A RECALL. THIS IS HIGHLY MISLEADING AND CAUSED ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING WAS UNSAFE ABOUT MY TRUCK, CONSIDERING THE DOCUMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

A VISIBLE AND CONCERNING CRACK APPEARING IN A CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DASHBOARD. NO PERSONAL -WHETHER INTENTIONAL OR NOT- DAMAGE HAS BEEN MADE TO THE DASH. I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT NEW. IT WAS FOUND ONE MORNING AS I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE. IS VERY NOTICEABLE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIR BAG, THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF GMC AND CHEVY OWNERS, I AM CONCERNED THAT PLASTIC PIECES OF DASHBOARD WILL BECOME DANGEROUS FLYING OBJECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT THAT DEPLOYS THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH GM AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND HEARD A POP. I LOOKED OVER AND MY DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG. ON A NON RELATED INSTANCE MY ENGINE IS NOW MAKING A TICKING NOISE THAT I WILL BE TAKING TO A DEALER TO CHECK OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD MOMENTARILY GET STUCK IN THE START POSITION. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V827000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BY A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

A CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. FAILURE IN THIS AREA SHOULD BE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THIS WEAK POINT COULD BE AN AREA OF PROJECTILE. A NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, AND THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. ...UPDATED 03-10-16 *BF

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 GMC ON A HIGHWAY IN MASSACHUSETTS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO FAIL. MY REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND WAS CAUSED TO TURN SIDEWAYS ON A HIGHWAY. MY TRUCK WAS HIT BY FOUR OTHER VECHICLES. WELL THE TRUCK GOT FIXED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES! WITH ALL THE SAME FAILURES. GM NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THERE TRANSMITTIONS BEFORE IT COULD KILL SOMEONE. 3 TIMES ITS BEEN REPLACED AND ALL 3 TIMES MY REAR WHEELS HAVE LOCKED UP. WHY? YOU GUYS NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE...
