Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Four wheel drive went into 4 low, by itself, going at 60mph on the highway, wipers have malfunctioned for the third time in one years time, no turn signals/backup light- can't be fixed by dealer-found nothing wrong, called Gmc which offered no assistance due to it being a used vehicle. They felt it was related to previous driver. The brakes will grab and lock up when you first drive it. You better have your seat belt on because you will be put into the dash when this happens. I do not feel the previous driver is the cause in this situation. …”
