The vehicle tire system lights came on the air bag sensor light car did not fill safe driving no control on the road unstable on turns car was sold one lug muissing front tire ,returned car several times last time I took the vehicle was due to drivesrs back wheel wobbling so bad , someone followeing said it looked like tire was coming off . The owner said it was fine , put it on the rack let me drive off , I drove it and it was very unstable to drive and took it to nor cal tires ukiah CA they informed me it was not safe to drive .

1. )what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? a. ) to start with I went in to the dealership for a timing chain recall they said the work was performed. This was never done all they did was replace ecu from an older car so that the code would not come back (replaced with a 2002 ecu) to get rid of the timing chain recall code. This code never existed in 2002. . Complete negligence these SUV could hurt or kill someone b. )huge electrical issue SUV stops on its own while driving. Sometimes does not start at all. Can not pass emission for the life of it . . New codes all the time I have replaced just about every sensor and switch there is. . . This is a money pit and death trap. . C. ) the investigation NHTSA should have included the lambda frame it's the same design flaw they're trying to fix one problem with an old problem. The ones on these have this fixed tie rods, lateral arms and upper control arms the bushings will wear out eventually and repeat the bouncing up and down rocking back and forth rear end barely staying on the ground it's a very dangerous ride and you see these vehicles on the expressway on a daily basis you look at them for what you know now I get really nervous seeing these vehicles. Arcadia rollovers call it what you will it's the same problem the needs a total redesign it's defective anyway you look at it. Just looking to how many roll over there are with this body frame and suspension it's got its own self-contained pit maneuver. I believe gm is aware of these issues that's why they're giving everybody a hard time to fix it they run and say something else. Looks like we're getting back to too big to fail. D. ) what makes this vehicle even more unsafe and very dangerous is the fact that the reluctor wheel can slip. This will sundown false dtc codes thinking that problems exist other places spending lots of money an unnecessary work when along gm knew about this problem once again.

My clock spring broke causing the cruise control to stop, my suspenion on my car is going out at 167,000 miles maling the car ride horribly, and apparently there is a problem with the wave plate in the transmission there have been multiple complaints about this problem but noone wants to do anything I was driving the moments these occured.

As my wife pulled out of the driveway, she heard a "clunk" noise, and she had to apply a lot of effort to straighten out the vehicle. My wife has stated that this is almost a common issue with the steering and many times she has to use a lot of force to steer the vehicle in a straight line. We took the vehicle to the dealership who stated that this is a common occurrence and that it would cost $400 to repair this problem. We declined the repair and felt that this was as safety issue and that it should be repaired without any costs to us. We have filed a complaint with the general motors company however we have only received a form type e-mail indicating that our complaint is in their files. We have also information from other web sites that this is a common issue, however nothing has been done at a federal level. We only have 35,000 miles on this vehicle and now we are really afraid to take any kind of long highway trips for fear that this would happen at highway speeds and that this may result in serious injury and or death of ourselves and our loved ones. Please advise as to what other actions we can take to resolve this safety issue. Al and doris walls.
