2 Differential Unit problem of the 2005 GMC Canyon

Failure Date: 02/02/2006

I have a 2005 GMC Canyon 4wd cc p/u . This p/u was purchased new in may 2005. The window sticker clearly lists an auto locking differential under standard equipment. In November 2005 GMC sent a letter to me which stated that this vehicle does not have a auto locking differential. As of this date (2-2-06) GMC admits that the window sticker is wrong, but other options were added to make up the difference. I don't know how this could have been done. GMC also is not willing to do anything to correct this mistake made by them.
