Consumer Description

THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING PER DUBLIN GMC. THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE STUTTERING. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT STAY OPEN IN EITHER POWER OR MANUEL MODE. APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE MANUFACTUR DATE IS OUT SIDE THE RECALL MONTHS FOR THIS RECALL (PER DUBLIN GMC AND SELF CHECK ON THIS WEBSITE) RECALL # 5420 AND NHST #15V415000. HOW DO I GET THE MFG TO PAY FOR THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE (IT ALMOST GOT ME WHEN IT FAILED AS I WAS TAKING GROCERIES OUT OF BACK)
