Passenger's side mirror will not stay adjusted. Consumer has taken it into dealer about 15 times for electrical problems. After adjusting mirror, and turning away, and when looking at mirror again, consumer may be looking at the sky. Consumer feels this is unsafe because when changing lanes, driver doesn't know if another car is coming or not. Also, door locks, will lock consumer out of vehicle. When vehicle is first started in the morning, it feels like it is turning on 6 cylinders. Door locks do not work properly, sliding door has been opened while vehicle has been in motion, remote unlock button inoperable. Power window needed adjusted.

First problem was the battery short on 5-26-99, then on 6-15-99 air bag light came on, stating to service air bag. Vehicle was taken to dealer and I was advised that there was no problem with airbag system. On 7-7-99, air bag light came on again. Vehicle taken to dealer and again advised that nothing was wrong, L just a faulty light. They also stated that the air bag would never deloy unlesss there was an accident. On 7-29-00 while stopped at a red light. Airbag service light came on, and air bagsdeloyed immediately on drivers side door. Vehicle taken to dealer and left for 27 days. GMC stated this has never happened to another vehicle. As I can see they lied to me, it has happened. I have a lawsuit pending with them since 11-29-99 requesting they buy back my vehicle. Nothing has been heard from since. On 11-1-99 fuel gauge sensor went out and had to be replaced. All these problems started with a battery short on 5-26-99 and the computer has a mind of its own. Please note: The air bag has only deployed once. However, I had two previous warnings.
