What owners of this build wrote

Power Train Mar 2026
It has the ABS lights on and tire traction light on check engine light on and given signs of failed transmission Slow to takeoff shuttering of transmission
Electrical System Jul 2025
Car gives “shift to park error” around every 5th time I turn it off. I have to turn the car back on and repark it to be able to actually turn off
Exterior Lighting Dec 2019
The headlights are not bright enough to safely drive the vehicle at night on low beam, and the high beam makes very little difference. It is worse when the roads are wet. When you put the high beams on, the lights do not seem to get any brighter. I have taken it to a gmc dealer…
