Tranmission replaced by pitre, under warranty. Second transmission failed this summer. Reason? Cracked housing. Nothing wrong with mechanical. I contacted GM and they would do nothing. I had to replace the transmission once again. The vehicle has not been in a collision. I feel the housing is faulity. Now the A/C unit failed. I will never buy another GMC product.

Driver power seat, front left side, support bracket snapped, allowing left corner of seat to rock up and down. If right side snapped simultaneously, driver would have possibly been thrown backward and could have lost control of the vehicle. The weld on the bracket failed during normal use. Consequences could include loss of control. Correction will involve removal of seat for new weld.
