Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed that I had no speed control and then found I also did not have any brake lights. Back in 2006 or 2007, Gmc issued a recall on this issue. Also again in 2009, but in the form of extended warranty till 2014. I just wanted to pass to you the concern that this issue may still be a problem for the truck. I talked to Gmc and they did not want to help with the fix since its outside the warranty date. I'm concerned that drivers would only think its a problem with the speed control, and don't realize they have no brake lights. …”
