“On the 17th of aug., 2017, I was on my way camping pulling a 28 ft rv with my 3/4 ton chev pu, when my left rear tire went flat. I put on the spare tire and drove 12 miles and the left front tire went flat, the next day I went into a tire shop for new tires and my other two good tires were both leaking at the value stem. The only damage was the tires.”

“3 exhaust manifold bolts have broken off my 6.0 liter truck motor. I feel this is a defect as I have done research on the internet and a lot of people have had this problem, this is a vehicle used for personal use and only has like 80,000 miles on it. I think GM should have to cover this defect.”

“Driving a 2004 Chevrolet 2500hd 4x4 6 liter crew cab with 143005 miles. Traveling at 55 MPH as I approached my turn onto a side street at approximately 100 yards out I applied brakes to reduce speed to 15/20 MPH to make 90 degree downhill right turn. I experienced a very spongy brake for a couple of seconds followed by the brake pedal going completely to floor. I pumped brakes several more times with the same brake pedal response and zero braking. My speed had only dropped to about 40 MPH, too fast to negotiate my turn. …”

“Gm pick up trucks have what in my opinion is a safety issue with instrument clusters failing. One can be cruising along and all of a sudden the speedometer goes crazy. Mine registers 120 MPH at all times. It puts one in unknown territory when in heavy traffic not to mention not knowing when one is speeding. Further one does not how much fuel they have or if their vehicle is overheating. …”
