Defect Description:
STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
This vehicle is equipped with remote tail gate release which can be activated without the knowledge of the driver allowing items to fall from vehicle and promote a dangerous outcome. An example is this morning the tailgate released after I stopped at a gas station and I had a piece of equipment fall from the vehicle. Thankfully no other vehicle was struck but this does pose a safety risk

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The backup camera intermittently turns off in low light, thus rendering it ineffective at night. It's been identified with NHTSA ID Number: 10234211. However, there is no fix. I feel this is a safety issue as the camera does not work correctly in low light. It has been this way for approximately 6 months, since I purchased the vehicle.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The PCV system plugs up in below zero weather casing the main rear engine seal to blow and leak. Currently waiting for gmc to manufacture the seal as it’s been back ordered due to so many engines needing this part. Estimate is 2 months or more wait. A loud ‘pop’ was heard the day before leaking. It sounded like an object hit under the truck. Oil drops were found the next day and dealership found the leak. Gateway in Fargo, ND is the mechanic and GMC is paying for repairs. If we were to of driven for a prolonged time, the leak could have poured most of all of the oil out of the blown seal and ruined the engine. There were no warning signs. The oil pressure seemed unstable the immediate days afterwards before being looked at. It was going down and coming back up after warming. The oil began leaking faster and in larger amounts as weather warmed above freezing.
