“I am having issues with the antenna in my truck. The radio is constantly going in and out. My onstar has stopped working completely. My bluetooth drops calls within a few min of taking the call if I can even get it to answer the call. Cosmetically the issues I am having is the dash has a huge crack right behind the steering wheel it goes all the way across to the passenger airbag. If I was to have a front end crash shards of plastic would go flying this is a safety hazard. I just purchased this vehicle about 2 weeks ago 3/11/17 and have had these issues since purchased. …”
