Had injectors replaced under warranty at 50000 miles after noticing excess exhaust smoke on startup and also power steering hoses were leaking, again at 105000 miles they totally failed as I was bringing my wife home from hospital on I-15 in ca. Up cajon pass and had to be towed to dealer, but gm dealer would not cover injectors under warranty as truck was11 years old and their coverage was for 7 years only, now again had to have them replaced at 147000 miles because of excessive smoke on startup. This time I went to an independent shop as they were $1000 cheaper and stated these upgraded injectors should last 150000 miles not 50000. Had to have power steering hoses replaced again also along with power brake servo because they were leaking again at 157000 miles. I have all of this documented in writing by service depts.

Blower motor resistor does not operate. Upon inspection, harness and final stage are damaged due to excessive heat. I need to replace both components because I fear it will cause a fire. Many posts on the same thing. Why is there nothing done about this? My bmw had same issue but it was a recall on their cars. Why is it not a recall on gm? Is it because they are an american car company?

The horn quits working and this creates a huge safety issue. Online search shows this is a common problem and the dealer is unable to fix it.

Complaint involves reduced power mode while driving. This has become a safety concern because of the rapid drop in speed while driving. It is unsafe trying to exit traffic lanes with no response from throttle pedal and appears to be a common problem with drive by wire vehicles produced by general motors. Vehicle has been to dealership twice with no resolution of the problem. This failure has occurred at various speeds, times of day, temperatures etc. It will enter reduced power once to twice a day. Thank you for your time.

Abs comes on at low speed.. It increases stopping distance.. I have once rear ended a vehicle because of this. There was no damage to either vehicle.. Also my ABS light come on for a few seconds maybe two or three times a month..
