I love this van but im beginning to think there is something wrong with the door handles. When I least expect it the handles will just break off in my hand. I have replaced each one at least twice. I was wondering if there is a recall on them that I was not aware of.

Brakes faulty. Brand new pads installed last week all around adjusted and dealer claims all is well but problem still exists. It takes an extreme amount of force applied to the pedal to stop this vehicle, noticed at 35k. Dangerous and not easy to get used to. In addition, windshield leaks on the top drivers side and the rear right door handle is failing on back dutch doors now at 65k. Also, both power door actuators on the drivers side and the passenger side failed completely at 34k.

Back door post broken at its base, thru inside c channel (outside skin still intact). Exact failure time not known, just noticed crack when entering car. Apparent failure from metal fatigue; no known impact or cause of failure. GMC has denied warranty claim saying that it is sheet metal failure, which is not covered. I'm contending that is a fialure to a structural member and therefore covered. Is there any record of similar failures on any GMC product that may utilize the same door?.
My fuel guage shows full regardless how much fuel is in the tank, rear door handle broke this is third GMC with this problem, sliding door does not work properly,.
