What owners wrote
GM is aware of a steering and suspension problem but will not fix the problem there are already multiple complaints and it will probably take a fatality to recall these issues.
There a noticable shaking when it coming to a stop and sometimes it will turn off. It also turns off when making a right / left turn and sometimes even when truck is running. There a click noise then turning. Also window's will get stuck and will not go up completely and now the left side windows are completely dead (do not go up or down).
