THIS TRUCK HAS SEVERAL EXHAUST HEADER BOLTS THAT ARE BREAKING OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST HEADER BOLTS THEY SHOULD NOT BE BREAKING OFF AND THEY ARE CAUSING EMISSION ERRORS AND NEEDING MAJOR REPAIRS. *JS

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING OFF LEAVING STUDS IN THE HEADS GM IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS ISSUE. THIS IS CAUSING CO RELEASE, HIGH HEAT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, NOISE, AND AN EXPENSE THAT I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR. SOME STATES ARE NOT ACCEPTING THESE VEHICLES NOW FOR NOT MEETING THE EMISSION STANDARDS PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MILES. THE FAILURES ARE MANY AND OFTEN. TRANSMISSION FAILURES EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. ALWAYS LEAKS TRANS FLDS ALL OVER STREETS AND DRIVEWAYS. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH TRUCK. FIRST WAS THE SLIP YOKE IN THE DRIVE SHAFT, FELT LIKE TRANNY WAS SLIPPING FROM TAKE OFF AT START POSITION. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.*AK ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD COME ON WITH EVERY STOP. USUALLY AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS, CAUSING TRUCK TO EXCEED 5-10 FT FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE.
