THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A TELESCOPING ADJUSTMENT THAT CLAPS WHEN YOU PRESS DOWN ON THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO IT COMES UP WITHOUT EVEN USING THE BUTTON TO MOVE IT. IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I CAN PULL UP ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR PUSH DOWN ON IT AND IT CLAPES ON IT'S OWN.
I HAVE REPLACED A SENSOR IN MY REAR BUMPER TWICE NOW. THE SECOND TIME GMC ALSO HAD TO INSTALL A NEW "WATERPROOF HARNESS" TO KEEP WATER FROM SATURATING THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE BLIND-SPOT MONITOR SYSTEM. WHEN THE SENSORS BECOME SATURATED, THE SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKS. AFTER HABITUALLY RELYING ON THIS SYSTEM, IT BECOMES A DANGER WHEN YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT WORKING WHEN CHANGING LANES OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE ORIGINAL HARNESS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED IN ALL VEHICLES USING IT.
