FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WENT INTO 4 LOW, BY ITSELF, GOING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WIPERS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ONE YEARS TIME, NO TURN SIGNALS/BACKUP LIGHT- CAN'T BE FIXED BY DEALER-FOUND NOTHING WRONG, CALLED GMC WHICH OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE DUE TO IT BEING A USED VEHICLE. THEY FELT IT WAS RELATED TO PREVIOUS DRIVER. THE BRAKES WILL GRAB AND LOCK UP WHEN YOU FIRST DRIVE IT. YOU BETTER HAVE YOUR SEAT BELT ON BECAUSE YOU WILL BE PUT INTO THE DASH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DO NOT FEEL THE PREVIOUS DRIVER IS THE CAUSE IN THIS SITUATION. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR BOTH MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRUCK TO OTHERS. YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. THE DATE I AM REQUIRED TO SELECT IS NOT APPROPRIATE IN THIS SITUATION BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. *CB
