When at highway speeds of approximately 65+ mph the vehicle begins to vibrate or shake violently as if the rear end of the truck is about to fall out. It is bad enough to make you white knuckle the steering wheel cause you to swerve slightly

On several occasions all sounds from door chime, radio, onstar, etc. Have failed. Further the paint is beginning to blister from underneath. Gm is denying both problems exist. Gm says the paint issue is due to application of an extreme heat source. Arizona is hot, but not that hot. The sound issue is a safety hazard. The paint issue is typical corporate denial of legitimate claims.

These narrow beams don't light up enough of what is in front of you for night driving. I have to use my fog lamps to turn onto streets without street lights on the corner. The recirculating switch for the ventilation system will not even reduce the…
