Car veers to rt when brakes hit. Does not ride on wet roads at all. Notice no trackers on lot GMC is aware of the cars problems but just quite making to prevent paying damages. There are numerous defects with this model. To included seat belt especially the ones in the back. The air bags catch fire when they come out, my rt side of face is still numb a=, also the brakes lock, I've reported this on the survey they sent to no avail. You have to control the car very well if there is any kind of wind blowing.
The key did not come out of the ignition. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the ignition switch was replaced. The consumer noticed a burning smell. The dealer stated that the reservoir for the 4-wheel drive was burning oil. The ignition problem was a common problem with GM vehicles. The drive train developed a noise, metal was found in the rear end, the steering shaft mechanism broken and allowed the key to go back into the lock position, the fuel gauge was intermittent, and the A/C was inoperative.
